Whether you're a soccer mom or a soccer champion, PowerBar® products help you perform at your best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Use if you race or train long/hard., February 3, 2011

This review is from: PowerBar Performance The Original Energy Bar, Vanilla Crisp, 2.29-Ounce Bars (Pack of 24) (Health and Beauty)

I am an endurance athlete who does long distance events. Powerbars are a staple of my pre and post-workout fueling regime. They are calorie dense (250 per bar) and combine protein and carbs (40 g. carbs, 8g protein) which the current research says is most optimal for performance. You are feel "full" during your training without discomfort or cramps. Plus, I just like the way they taste, but they all taste similar. Avoid the berry varieties and fruit flavors:) The downside of the bars is that they are not for "on the run"--they are rather chewy and need to be well digested. They also get hard in the cold, so do not bring with you on runs in the winter:)
Dieters, beware: these bars are not for weightloss, but performance. 250 calories is about the equivalent amount of calories in a donut, so make sure you're working out, too:)

1.0 out of 5 stars Expiration Date Long Past, October 3, 2011

Disappointed. Did not expect to receive expired product from Amazon. PowerBar food product arrived with product expiraton date four (4) months expired. Am returning product to Amazon. As usual, with Prime, shipping was fast and returns are easy (but irritating). From now on I'll consider non-food items only. PowerBar product is good, when fresh.

This review is from: PowerBar Performance The Original Energy Bar, Cookies & Cream, 2.29-Ounce Bars (Pack of 24) (Health and Beauty)

I bought the cookie N cream energy bar. I work out about 6 hours a day. This bar really help me get through my workouts but I definitely drink a lot just to get the bar in me. Without water, I CAN NOT get it in no matter how hard I try. The "cookie" just gets stuck in my throat. It doesn't taste like cookie but some black solid dots. Without water this bar taste like sugary mud. If you are someone who value energy over taste, then this bar is definitely a 5 star but to me, the taste and texture really dropped a star for me.
