MusclePharm Combat Sport Bar, Chocolate Cake Flavor High Protein Bars, Combat Cravings, Fuel Performance & Meet Energy Demands, 20g Protein from Whey Protein, 5g Fiber, Gluten Free, 12 Bars

These are hands down the best great tasting protein bars with awesome macros. Like many people I had tried Kind bars (protein plus series), these vere wery tasty but ridiculously small for the price. I then tried Quest which had more protein, were bigger but the taste and texture was not that great. I had tried several other bars but was not completely satisfied.But then I stumbled upon muscle pharm bars while searching amazon. Decided to take a risk of buying an entire box of chocolate chip cookie dough. When I tasted them I seriously thought to myself "where have you been all my life???!!!". The bars are of generous size, gave 20 g of protein, little sugar and a whole lof of fiber. But the taste... it does taste like you are having a cheat meal! So far I had gone through 2 boxes of chocolate chip cookie dough, 1 box of peanut butter chocolate. I had just ordered another box of chocolate chip cookie dough but amazon accidentally sent me cinnamon twist. I decided just to keep them. Thankfully!!! This just became my ultimate favorite.If I had to rank them in a specific order it would go like this:• Cinnamon twist- 10/10, it has a white chocolate covering and very strong smell of cinnamon• Chocolate chip cookie dough- 9/10, this one is covered in dark chocolate, very tasty• Peanut Butter Chocolate- 9/10, just like chocolate cookie dough it is covered in dark chocolate. Still very good, good to change up the flavors so you dont become sick and tired of the same thing.I will update my review if I try any other flavors.

taste good

These bars are pretty tasty. I would of liked a little more Peanut Butter flavor though. But I would buy them again.

MusclePharm restored (and improved) their old formula. These are now the best protein bars on the market, in my opinion. I've tried dozens of other protein bars. For the macronutrients in this bar (protein, fats, carbs) and the fiber content, these are the best tasting bars out there. There's other bars with 0 fiber that taste like candy bars...Because they are candy bars + a whey blend...But if you want the fiber, nothing will beat these in flavor.Pros:-Tons of flavor options-All taste pretty good, but Cookie dough and PB are the best.-12g of fiber per bar. That's over half of the minimum amount of fiber most people will need per day, ideally. Fiber is probably the most important part of any good diet after 1) Calorie intake 2) Good macronutrient ratio (proteins, fats, carbs)-Good price per bar-Leave you satisfied in fullness and cravings-Doesn't stick to inner layer of packaging-Stays soft even when refrigeratedCons:-Melt very easily (may be a pro for people who like to microwave their bars). Don't leave out in the sun in your car.-Not a full meal replacement. I use them more as a supplement. Eaten with a shake or some other form of protein.-Eating several a day will probably cause digestive issues for some.Well done, MP...Went from a 4-star bar to a 1-star bar after the formula switch to cornstarch fiber, then rebounded to a 5-star bar. They're even softer and more delicious than the originals. Assuming the macros/fiber aren't a complete lie (supplement companies can be shady...), these are the best bars out there Try them for yourself.

I loyally purchased Quest bars for years. I liked the lack of soy and the short list of ingredients. Then they changed their formula last year, and I found the new bars barely edible. So I started exploring my other options. I stick to whey protein instead of soy because it is easier to digest. There are lots of 3-400 calorie bars, but as a 5’4” lady I prefer a 200 calorie bar as a pre-workout snack. GNC sells a lot of these as single bars, and this is a good (but slightly expensive) way to buy some bars to decide what you like. Here my personal summary of whey based approximately 200 calorie high protein bars:1. Fit Crunch bars. Easily my favorite. Produced by celebrity Chef Robert Irvine. Tastes like a candy bar. My favorite is by far the peanut butter version, but the cookie dough and cookies and cream are still good. Personally I find the cookies and cream one slightly on the sweet side and is my least favorite. I don’t like eating these on the go because sometimes I end up trying to track down little chocolate pieces from my clothing, car, etc. The main trouble with these bars is finding a place to buy them. GNC has the large version of theses bars (380 calories). Sometimes CVS has them for sale individually. Walmart carries boxes, but they are often out of stock. My local Walmart stopped carrying the small size, and I don’t have the self-control to eat half of a large one. I have tried ordering from Amazon but they always arrive melted. All of my friends are now obsessed with these which is probably why I cannot find them in my local stores anymore. 190 calories, 16g protein and 3g sugar2. Combat Crunch bars. My second favorite after Fit Crunch bars. I have less trouble with these melting when I order them online, but they sometimes taste a little stale from Amazon. Again the chocolate peanut butter flavor is my favorite. I have liked most of the flavors with the exception of the birthday cake flavor that tasted like fruit loops in stale icing (uniquely awful). These can also be messy to eat on the go, but better than Fit Crunch and Power Crunch in this respect. 210 calories, 20g protein and 5g sugar**Update: I am concerned about the quality control on these bars. I have had several bars purchased from Amazon, Kroger and now GNC that have been firm/stale instead of the normal soft filling. I have not decided if I will continue to buy these, and I decreased my rating accordingly**3. Power Crunch bars. My husband and I both found these to be too dry and generally without much flavor. I do like the peanut butter flavor because it reminds me of halavah (middle eastern candy made from sesame seeds). These can also be messy to eat. I have found these at GNC, Kroger and Walmart (and of course Amazon). 200 calories, 13g protein and 5g sugar.**Update: These are growing on me. They taste dramatically better chilled. The flavor is subtle but pleasant. I like the peanut butter and chocolate mint versions. The texture reminds me of a Kit Kat. This is my new second favorite bar.**4. Quest bars. The least messy of the group. They have more of a chewy texture than the other bars which keeps them from falling apart. As I mentioned, this used to be my favorite bar but the new formula has a weird chemical flavor to it that I cannot get past. 190 calories, 21g protein and 4g carbs**Update: Quest must have done some more formula tweaking because they taste like they used to before the 2015 recipe change disaster. I only buy them from places that I know have new stock.**5. Oh Yeah Victory Bars. These are way too sweet with a weird processed taste. They also have a chewy texture. I imagine that they would have been easy to eat on the go if I had not given them away after eating half of one bar. 200 calories 21g protein 8g sugar. I have not tried the new Oh Yeah! One bars.6. Fit Elite Baked Protein Bar. Also produced by celebrity Chef Robert Irvine. Tastes like a Quest bar mixed with chalk. The texture is slightly more dense than a Quest bar. Barely edible. 180 calories 20g protein7. Mission 1 Clean Protein Bar. Similar taste and texture to Quest bars. These are slightly more dense. The taste is inferior to Fit Crunch, Combat Crunch bars and Quest bars. 210 calories 21g protein 1g sugar8. EAS 100% Whey Protein Bar. I have only tried the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip version. It tastes like a dense soft granola bar and is one of the better tasting protein bars. At 250 calories, I consider this bar more of a meal replacement (plus some fruit) than a pre-workout snack. I have purchased these from both Amazon and Target and have not noticed a difference in quality. It is one of the only protein bars that I still purchase from Amazon because most of the others melt during shipping. 250 calories 20g protein 12g sugar
