Strengths: tastes better than most other energy bars
cheaper than most energy barsWeaknesses: kona crunch flavor tastes like poo
makes me thirstyBottom Line: mmm mmm good.
full of good for you stuff
it's kind of hard to find. Smith's grocery store has them in the nutrition section. DON'T GET KONA CRUNCH.
peanut butter, cookie dough, and yogurt berry are the best three, respectively.

Strengths: The peanut bar is pretty tasty. Not too chewy or sticky, a pretty good texture. Doesn't melt on long rides or hikes.Bottom Line: I prefer Luna bars b/c I don't need all the calories in these and most other bars. But this is the second tastiest bar after the Luna and on a par with the Clif bars, which are ok as well.
Favorite Trail: Pacific Coast Trail
Duration Product Used: 3 months
Similar Products Used: Clif, Luna, Powerbar. Probably most of them at some time

Strengths:
Cookiedough doesen't melt in the heatWeaknesses:
too much fat compared to other protein barsBottom Line: Not the best tasting bar but not the worst either. The only flavor I buy anymore is cookie dough. It's about the best tasting and doesen't melt when I take them in saddle bag. I'd give the cookie dough 4 chili's but have to kick the overall rating back to 3 becouse of all the rest of the flavors and the high fat content (7 grams in a 2 oz. bar)

Strengths:
balanced macronutrient ratios
good non-candy taste on some flavorsBottom Line: I especially like the Peanut and Cookie Dough flavors, the former the best. These are good post-ride bars, as they have a bit more protein and fat than the typical Power-Bar clone, and thus are designed to support a more stable blood sugar. They are also suited to use during sedentary periods, such as at work, whereas the PowerBar types tend to be too sweet for my taste (and are too carbohydrate-dominated, some would say).

Strengths:
don't melt easily, taste, good all-around barWeaknesses:
hard to chewBottom Line: These things seem to have a bit less carb than Balance bars, I don't know, I generally got more out of these than balance bars. I like them a bit more for workouts, but they need to be washed down with a good bit of water, as they are tougher to chew. The peanut butter variety (only one I've tried) taste good. They don't have a meltable chocolate coating, which is a plus compared to balance bars. These or balance bars, both are good, depends on whether or not you want chocolate.
