PowerCrunch "Original" best tasting protein bar, hands down!

[IrishEyes 59]

I am just over 3 years postop and this is my goto Meal Replacement, when needed. Thought I would share what I consider to be a gem of a discovery....

The best Protein Bar I have found is PowerCrunch "Original". (link below) It is a wafer Protein Bar and unlike any other protein bar on the market. For years, I was on the search for a protein bar that was not dense or tasted like chalk. Honestly, I thought I would never find it, thought it didn't exist, until I discovered this bar.

The Original has between 13-14 grams of protein. Though that may not be a lot in the protein bar world, I have learned that the higher gram count ='s yuck. This bar meets the sweet spot with high protein and good taste. I have to hide these from family members. They are often my meal replacement but to family the bars seem to be a snack. The price is typical of any protein bar, maybe a little less. Here in Florida they run about $2 a bar and between $20-$25 for a box. I buy them by the box as they are my go to item. When I factor in how much less I spend in food now compared to before surgery, it's not difficult to purchase by the box. They can be found at The Vitamin Shoppe by the bar or the box. Recently I discovered them in my local Winn Dixie. (Buying by the box here is important, showing a demand in this store will increase the chances the store keeps them in stock).

Last time I checked, the website below offered samples, which stated took between 4-6 weeks.

I think every bariatric patient, 6-9 months postop and beyond, should try these. They changed everything for me. I have always gravitated toward convenient food. After surgery, those aren't options anymore. Not so much that I can't have them, I just don't want them anymore. My body simply doesn't want fast food anymore. These bars fill that void. They are my new fast food.

Hope this was helpful!

I keep the chocolate mint ones in my freezer....they taste just like Girl Scout Thin Mints. I do the same with the Peanut Butter fudge. Not quite the Reese's Peanut Butter cup taste I was hoping for, but still pretty good.

I just recently tried these and I have to say they are definitely quite good! I still prefer Quest bars, but these are a nice alternative and my second favorite

I wanna try these!!!

I went on the site and of course when I clicked on the "find a store near you" came back with "no results."

I requested samples but most likely they won't ship to Canada.

I am going to go on the search this week to nutrition stores etc and maybe, just maybe I'll find some somewhere!

Does Amazon ship to Canada? That's where I get mine.

Oh yes it does but I figure I'll try and find them first.

Also, when I want something I want it now! Hahaha
