THE POWERBAR PROTEINPLUS STORY.
The PowerBar Protein Plus high protein bar was developed according to the needs of world class athletes and others who want a convenient, great tasting source of high quality protein.  As with other PowerBar products, PowerBar ProteinPlus is a tool for athletes to use along with a balanced diet to achieve optimum performance.

THE POWERBAR STORY.
PowerBar was founded after world class marathon runner Brian Maxwell ran out of energy while leading a race.  As a result, Brian and his nutritionist wife Jennifer created the PowerBar® Performance™ energy bar.  Since then, PowerBar products have been used to set numerous world records and win hundreds of world and national championships and are now distributed in over 30 countries.  PowerBar has earned the trust of athletes and has become synonymous with nutrition, energy and optimum performance.

FORMULATED BY ATHLETES, FOR ATHLETES.

PROTEIN:  24 grams of PowerBar's proprietary TriSource protein blend of Whey Protein Isolate, Calcium Caseinate, and Soy Protein Isolate.  Protein is essential for the repair, maintenance, and growth of human tissues and muscles.  Athletes may require 0.4 grams to 0.9 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but..., March 12, 2006

This review is from: PowerBar ProteinPlus High Protein Bar, Vanilla Yogurt, 2.75-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) (Health and Beauty)

I am a power bar addict and I absolutely LOVE this one... However, the vanilla flavor adds to (rather than takes away from...) the typically "cardboard" flavor of a Power Bar. Oddly enough, this doesn't bother me! The vanilla is so sweet (and I am an admitted sugar addict) that it really does control that need for snacking. I usually split the bar... one half before my workout and one half after. I do agree that you MUST have water with one of these bars. It will sit like a ton of bricks in your stomach without the water. All in all, this bar is great. I can easily get through a long day or a tough workout with one of these.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best tasting protein bar I've had., October 19, 2005

By 

Douglas John Heitkamp (Dayton, OH United States) - See all my reviews

I've tried many protein bars over the last two years and the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavored ProteinPlus Power Bars are definately the best I've had.

I started out eating the EAS AdvantEdge Carb Control Nutrition Bars (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00007L64I/sr=1-4/qid=1129724511/ref=sr_1_4/104-3189383-4115126?%5Fencoding=UTF8&n=3760931&s=hpc&v=glance) a while back during the Atkins craze. (I replaced my Pop-Tart breakfast with low-carb bars.) I liked them a lot until one day EAS decided to make their bars "better" by adding "goo" to their bars. The chocolate chip brownie and peanut butter bars, once staples in my morning diet, had fallen from grace.

Now I buy boxes of ProteinPlus Power Bars (12 bar variety pack) from Sam's club ($14 and change), and the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavored are definately the best. I came to Amazon looking to see if I could get boxes of just this flavor. I also buy Snickers Marathon bars, which are glorified candy bars, and the Peanut Butter power bars are definately in the same flavor league as the Snickers bars.

The Cookies and Cream flavor are also good, but the Vanilla Yogurt flavor don't do much for me (thus the peanut butter only search).

The new and "improved" Protein Plus PowerBars are much drier than they were before though they are easier to chew (as advertised). Plus one gram less of protein than before.
