Gatorade Whey Protein Bar with Almond Butter Review (Not Good)

I recently received a coupon for a free Gatorade Whey Protein Bar with Almond Butter after checking out at my local Kroger, so I picked one up during my last trip. I was really hoping that it was going to be great. Luckily, it was free… The “almond butter” tagline looks and sounds appealing, but don’t let that fool you. It was terrible. It also looks amazing like all other protein bars. But again, it was terrible. My recommendation is that you do not buy these bars.

The Taste:

• Tastes like a stale burnt marshmallow. There is a warm, almost burnt smokey flavor that overwhelms your taste buds.
• Sticks to your teeth instantly, like all PowerBars.
• Feels like you are biting through tacky Styrofoam.
• Sticky stale weirdly somewhat sour sweet protein bar.
• Didn’t taste like cookie dough to me, tasted almost like a Styrofoam marshmallow that was baked on a charcoal grill.
• After chewing it for a few seconds it seems like it disintegrates like Styrofoam or almost like a stale marshmallow.

Better alternatives:

Below are some good tasting bars that I prefer over normal protein bars. Most meal bars with <=10 grams of protein taste way better than the 20 gram protein bars. I haven’t found a 20 gram bar that actually tasted good, but I would love to find one. My normal go to are Clif Bars, but I have enjoyed the others that are listed.

• Clif Bar – Chocolate Chip
• RXBAR – Chocolate Sea Salt
• Luna Bar – Mint Chocolate Chip
• KIND Bar – Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt
• Larabar – Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip

Have you tried this monstrosity?
