The PowerBar ProteinPlus™ Story.
PowerBar® started in the Berkeley, California kitchen of Olympic marathoner Brian Maxwell.  Brian and his wife Jennifer, also a competitive runner and nutritionist, began experimenting with natural ingredients to create an energy bar that would improve their performance.  It took years before they were satisfied, but no time at all for news of their nutritious, high-performance snack to spread.  Today, every PowerBar® product is still based on their original goal.  Whether you're a soccer mom or a soccer champion, PowerBar® products help you perform at your best.

PowerBar ProteinPlus is a convenient and satisfying way to get 24g of protein, along with 5.2g branch chain amino acids, vitamins and minerals.  It's ideal for athletes in training or anyone seeking additional protein.

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

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.
