Review: PR* Bar Chocolate Peanut Bar

Being that is now Olympic time, I figure that there is no better time for me to a review a bar made by a manufacturer that is a hardcore supporter of the United States' Olympic efforts, so that leads me to this review of the PR* Bar Chocolate Peanut Bar.  In case you were wondering, PR* stands for personal record and I'm not quite sure why that needs an asterisk next to it.  I thought Bud Selig got rid of that asterisk thing when he took it away from Roger Maris' since broken home run record.  Anyway, I picked up this patriotic bar at Meijer for $1.25 and it comes in at 1.76 ounces with 200 calories and a solid fifteen grams of protein. It's also gluten free and all natural, so everything about this bar screams health and performance and that is seemingly what you'd want to give to your athletes.

Review: KIND Plus Blueberry Pecan + Fiber Bar

For a company that I consider to be one of the "major" bar manufacturers, it surprises me that I have done such a limited amount of reviews on KIND bars.  I'm going to try to change that and this is the first in what I hope will be an increasing frequency of KIND bars that pop up on the blog.  As with all of the previous bars, I picked up this KIND Plus Blueberry Pecan + Fiber Bar for free via a KINDING Mission.  It comes in at 1.4 ounces and has 180 calories with three grams of protein.

Review: Breyers Blasts! Golden Oreo Cookies & Cream Frozen Dairy Dessert

Breyers has been on sale a lot at my local stores recently and like a kid in a candy store, I haven't been able to resist buying containers of it every time it goes on sale so that leads me to another Breyers review with this review of the Breyers Blasts! Golden Oreo Cookies & Cream Frozen Dairy Dessert.  I find Oreos to be an overrated (and overused) cookie, but its rare that you see anything out there with Golden Oreos other than the cookie itself, which are awesome by the way, so I was very intrigued to see this in the freezer case.  I picked this one up on sale (of course) at Kroger for $2.50 and it contains twelve half cup servings.  Each serving comes in at 140 calories.

Review: Dannon Light & Fit Blueberry Acai Yogurt

I'll be honest, I have no idea what an acai berry is or looks like.  If one came up and punched me in the face, I still wouldn't have any idea what it is.  That said, I do know based on some other foods that I've eaten that acai berries have a very strong tang taste to them, so I was curious to see how this review of another Light & Fit yogurt in the Blueberry Acai variety would turn out.  I picked this up as part of a Super Saver four pack (it was paired with two Raspberry Goji) at Meijer for $1.88.  Each yogurt cup is 6.0 ounces and is 80 calories with five grams of protein and is also zero fat.

Review: Udi's Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins

Gluten Free seems to be all the rage these days as I constantly see gluten free products in the store.  Thankfully, I don't have a gluten allergy, but the fact that I don't have the allergy doesn't mean that I can try out gluten free products and that leads me to try out these samples that I received in the Udi's Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins.  Each muffin container comes with four muffins and each muffin itself is three ounces.  Each muffin has 240 calories and is of course, gluten free and also dairy, nut and soy free.  It's also whole grain, so woo-hoo!  What a "healthy" treat!

Review: Walden Farms Original Barbecue Sauce

Sometimes I look at the amount of Walden Farms reviews that I've done on this site and start to feel good about myself thinking that I've knocked out a decent sized portion of their product catalog.  When I look at their actual website, I'm sadly mistaken because there are a ton of their products that I haven't reviewed yet and I've got a while to go and that leads me to my next review of their Original Barbecue Sauce.  I've done a previous review of their Thick 'N Spicy sauce on WouldIBuyItAgain.com before and liked it, so I was anxious to see if I'd have the same feelings about their Original sauce as I did about that one.  As with all their products, this one is calorie and sugar free.  I picked up a twelve ounce bottle of this at Kroger for $3.69.

Review: Fage Total 2% Greek Yogurt with Honey

I don't think it is any secret at this point that I mostly only buy things when they are on sale.  I hate paying full price for items and the store and will only do so if I'm insanely curious about how it tastes or I just have to have a product.  Because of this, I've been resistant to purchase Fage Greek yogurt products because I've been waiting for them to go on sale.  Recently, that finally happened at Kroger and I picked up this Fage Total 2% Greek Yogurt with Honey for $1.00.  Each single serving container is 5.3 ounces and this particular one had 190 calories and twelve grams of protein.

Review: Zone Perfect Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bar

Zone Perfect is starting to approach CLIF in the amount of extensions they have in their products.  So far, I have done reviews of their original bars, their Dark Chocolate bars, their Sweet & Salty Bars and now I'm led to a my first review of one of their Cookie Dough bars with this review of the Zone Perfect Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bar.  Obviously this isn't my first cookie dough product review on the blog and I, like most normal humans, love cookie dough, so I hold all these bars to high standards and it will be no different for this bar.  With that laid out on the table, I picked up this bar at Meijer for $1.19 and it is 1.58 ounces (smaller than the typical 1.76 ounce Zone Perfect bar) and it has 190 calories and ten grams of protein.  One thing I did find interesting prior to opening this was that the packaging actually had the text printed on it of "Ready To Eat."  As opposed to what?!  LOL, I just found that to be pretty funny when I read it.  Anyway, time to get down to business.

Review: MET-Rx Big 100 Colossal Peanut Butter Caramel Crunch Bar

I've reviewed several MET-Rx bars on the blog and I've always viewed them as a bar for meatheads and weight lifting freaks.  Since I am definitely not either of those things, the fact that I've reviewed these bars several times and have another review is amusing to me.  Perhaps it is only amusing to me, but it is amusing nonetheless.  Anyway, I picked up this MET-Rx Big 100 Colossal Peanut Butter Caramel Crunch Bar on sale with a coupon at CVS for $1.50.  It's a monster bar (note the Meal Replacement Bar tagline on the wrapper) at 3.52 ounces and clocks in with 410 calories and 31 grams of protein.  Basically, you are eating a small steak if you eat this.  It's also naturally flavored, which I find particularly amusing since I'm this bar was almost entirely created in a science lab.

Review: Turkey Hill Limited Edition Chunky Peanut Butter Ice Cream

It's been a while since I've done a Turkey Hill review on the blog.  In those two reviews that I had done, I discovered one that might be one of my favorite ice creams ever in the Whoopie Pie Ice Cream and was that was just flat out boring in the Snyder's Chocolate Pretzel Light Ice Cream.  Because it had been so long since I had done a Turkey Hill review, I picked up a couple of containers on sale at my local Kroger and that leads me to this first review of a limited time offering with this review of the Turkey Hill Limited Edition Chunky Peanut Butter Ice Cream.  Like I said, this one was on sale for $2.99 and it contains roughly twelve half cup servings at 180 calories per serving.  I love peanut butter more than the typical human being, so I was extremely anxious to dive into this one.

Review: Quaker Chewy Cookies & Cream Granola Bar

I'm starting to get Quaker Chewy fatigue and that's only from reviewing their original line of Chewy bars.  I've done countless reviews of them already and I'm sure there will be countless more because I'm guessing that Quaker will never stop introducing new flavors.  So, my quest leads me to this Cookies & Cream Chewy granola bar.  I picked it up at Meijer as part of a of ten pack combination box on sale for $2.00.  It is the typical Chewy bar weight of 0.84 ounces and contains 90 calories.  One thing that is different about this is that it is 25% less sugar, so I'm guessing that less sugar chops ten calories off because most times, these bars are an even hundred calories.

Review: PowerBar Recovery Cookies & Cream Caramel Crisp with Chocolatey Coating Bar

For better or worse, I work out a lot.  I spend over two hours a day doing cardio and while that may seem cool, it really drains me sometimes and others consider me borderline insane for doing it.  For all I know, they may be right.  Anyway, since that does drain me, I'm always looking for ways to help get my bearings back and seeing that PowerBar has these Recovery bars available (this one is part of the post-workout "Rebuild" stage), I'm always willing to try one out to see how they taste because whether they actually work is debatable.  I've reviewed some of these bars, along with other PowerBars on this blog before, so this is not my first rodeo.  This PowerBar Recovery Cookies & Cream Caramel Crisp with Chocolatey Coating Bar (say that five times fast!) was picked up at Meijer for $1.03 and is 1.97 ounces, 250 calories and has twelve grams of protein.

Review: Balance Bar Mocha Chip Bar

I would place Balance Bar in the same category as CLIF and Zone Perfect in the respect that they have a seemingly endless amount of products out on the market.  They have various product lines, various flavors, etc. When I look at companies like those, it just seems like I'll never reach the end of their product lines and while that is not bad, it certainly is daunting when I really think about it.  Knowing that I'll never review all of Balance's products, I'm still willing to plod on and do another Balance Bar review with this review of the Mocha Chip bar.  This bar is one of their basic bars and clocks in at a standard 1.76 ounces with 200 calories and fifteen grams of protein.  I picked it up at Meijer at its regular price of $1.09, by the way.

Review: Kellogg's FiberPlus Antioxidants Chocolatey Peanut Butter Chewy Bar

I've already spent some time on some of Kellogg's other wide variety of snack bar offerings, but I'm now onto my first review of yet another one of their offerings with this bar from the FiberPlus Antioxidants line.  It's got an overly cute and absolutely absurd name in Chocolatey Peanut Butter.  I mean, really, why do they need the "y" at the end of chocolate.  Is that supposed to "spice" it up and make it more attractive or is that say that the chocolate is not real and just a reasonable facsimile?  Ugh, I hate it when marketers (it is my profession, so I can make broad accusations and assumptions with conviction) try to out-think themselves and come up with dumb things that just don't make any sense.  In my mind, that's the case with this bar.  Anyway, I got this one during "snack time" at the office and didn't pay for it, but I have seen it at Meijer for $3.99 for a box of six.  Each bar comes it at a moderately sized 1.2 ounces and has 120 calories and three grams of protein.  Since it's a fiber bar, it's got a lot of fiber and when you look at the packaging, this one proclaims it is 35% of your daily fiber intake.  Holy crap (pun intended)!  They also call this one a chewy bar, so it appears as if they may be trying to steal a bit of Quaker's thunder from their often reviewed Chewy bars.  Lame.

Review: Quaker Chewy Dipps Peanut Butter Chocolate Granola Bar

It's funny how when companies run out of ideas for new product creations, they just take old ideas, slightly alter them and the re-package them as something else.  There's nothing wrong with it, but I just find it amusing.  A major offender of this is Quaker Oats and what they do with their Chewy bars of which I've eaten plenty.  The have the original Chewy bars, but then came up with a Dipps line of bars where they just took the original bars and covered them in chocolate...up until now.  It seems as if they've slightly altered that and taken one of their original bars and covered it in peanut butter coating and for the first time ever, have come out with a new bar called the Quaker Chewy Dipps Peanut Butter Chocolate Granola Bar (no full website for this "stealth" product yet).  Seeing that this was a first, I hurriedly snatched a box of six bars on sale at my local Meijer for $2.00.  Each bar in the box comes in at 1.09 ounces and contains 140 calories.

Review: NOW Honeycomb with Chia & Raisins Energy Bar

I can't remember if I've mentioned it here before, but when it comes to signing up for free contests, promotions and giveaways on Facebook, the web, etc., I'm a total rube.  I sign up for all of them.  I'm sure a lot of you out there think it's a waste of time (I know my friends do), but I will point out that in addition the countless free samples I've gotten, I've also won like $150 in gift cards in various contests, so it's not a totally fruitless endeavor.  With that said, I signed up for another giveaway a couple months ago and as a result of that giveaway, I was blessed with this NOW Honeycomb with Chia & Raisins Energy Bar sample.  Obviously, this is just a small sample of one of their bars, but it is a sample nonetheless.  NOW is a company endorsed by Phil Keoghan (CBS' Amazing Race host) that produced bars using Manuka honey, which is a type of honey native to his homeland of New Zealand.  Anyway, NOW stands for "No Energy Wasted" and I won't waste any more energy talking about the company.  Time to talk about the sample bar.  It is 0.71 ounces and is 80 calories with three grams of protein.  It's also all natural and gluten free as well.

Review: fullbar Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar

I mentioned in my previous fullbar review that fullbar contacted me after a negative review and sent me a media kit that contained many of their products, including all the flavors of their bars.  So, since I've got all these flavors on my hands, it's only the right thing for me to do to try them all out and that leads me to the Chocolate Peanut Butter bar.  This one comes in at 1.59 ounces with 170 calories and five grams of protein.  It's all natural and also is formulated with their new blend of ingredients that include Slendesta, which is an all-natural hunger block.

Review: Larabar Chocolate Chip Brownie Food Bar

I'll be the first to admit that I haven't had the best luck with Larabar reviews on here and I've probably written this same intro many times.  Sometimes I wonder why I keep reviewing these bars, but they have so many darn flavors that I just can't help myself and continue to buy new flavors in hopes of finding another that I might like.  So, that quest leads me to this Larabar Chocolate Chip Brownie Food Bar.  I picked this one up at Meijer for $1.09 and it is 1.6 ounces, 200 calories and contains four grams of protein.  It's also Kosher, Gluten Free, uses Non-GMO ingredients and uses Fair Trade Certified chocolate, so that's for all the Earth lovers of the world.

Review: Bora Bora Tribal Cinnamon Oatmeal Bar

When I get bored, which is often, I head to the grocery store for my weekly shopping trip and end up at least tripling the amount of time that would be necessary for me to spend at the store.  Pretty sweet life, eh?  Anyway, when I do end up doing that, I end up browsing through aisles I wouldn't ordinarily visit and also looking at products that I wouldn't ordinarily view.  It's that boredom that led me to spend a little extra time in the snack bar aisle and that led me to this bar that I have never seen before in the Bora Bora Tribal Cinnamon Oatmeal bar.  Being that this piqued my interest, I picked up a variety of different flavors at Meijer for $0.75 each.  I don't know what makes it "Tribal", but it specifically comes in at 1.4 ounces with 170 calories and four grams of protein.  It's also all natural and organic.

Review: CLIF Mojo Mixed Nuts Trail Mix Bar

Sometimes I think I write the same intro for some manufacturers with each post that I write, especially with all the CLIF Bar reviews I've done.  For example, my CLIF Bar intro seemingly starts out talking about how many products and varieties they have and blah, blah, blah.  Well, I'll spare you the full intro this time and just get right down to it on this CLIF Mojo Mixed Nuts Trail Mix Bar.  This is the not the first Mojo bar that I've reviewed and I picked this one up at Kroger for $1.00.  It's 70% organic, 1.59 ounces, 200 calories and eight grams of protein.

Review: Zone Perfect Dark Dark Chocolate Strawberry Bar

I stuttered quite a bit as a child, but I can assure you that I did not stutter or make a typographical error with the name of this bar in the heading of this post.  The reason "Dark" is included twice is that this bar is from Zone Perfect's "Dark" line of nutrition bars and it is flavored as a Dark Chocolate Strawberry bar.  Anyway, now that I've clarified (like you probably cared), it's time to get down to the nitty gritty of this review...I picked this one up at Kroger on sale for $1.00 at Kroger and it comes in at the standard Zone Perfect weight of 1.58 ounces.  It has 180 calories and twelve grams of protein and it says it is all natural, although when I read the ingredient list, there's a lot of natural things I don't recognize.  I usually don't write about ingredients because I don't care for the most part, but when something bills itself as all natural and then I can't pronounce half the things on the ingredient list, I begin to scratch my head.

Site News: Bar Week, Part III!

Perhaps you've noticed if you've spent any time on the site or even taken a glance at the blog archives, but I have reviewed a heck of a lot of protein/nutrition/energy/whatever bars around here in the past.  In fact, when I look at my blog archives for an actual review count, I've already done over 130 of them and absurdly, I've got another FORTY (yes, 4-0) saved up.  That's a joke.

Since I've got so many of these reviews in stock, its time to dust off the third bar week starting next Monday.  I'll be posting two reviews a day on most days, just like the old days of early 2012, and some of the bars will be from manufacturers that you've seen and others will be from manufacturers that have never been reviewed on the blog before.  Hopefully I can help you find something tasty or avoid something awful in the process.  Either way, it's going to be fun and I very loosely define fun.

Thanks again for reading and I hope you enjoy next week's reviews!

Review: Ben & Jerry's John Lennon's Imagine Whirled Peace Ice Cream

Despite the fact that my waist line continues to expand because of this blog, I figure there is no better time than now to review another Ben & Jerry's product with this review of their John Lennon Imagine Whirled Peace.  I find Ben & Jerry's continued reference to stoners to be quite funny and since they've already hit on the Grateful Dead, why not hit on one of the leads of one of the most overrated bands of all time by naming an ice cream after John Lennon?  Sure, go for it!  Okay, so maybe they named it after him because he was such a proponent for peace and not for weed.  Well, I guess that makes sense.  Anyway, I picked up this pint on sale at Kroger for $3.00 and it is the typical four servings.  Each serving contains 270 calories, so while it is not the healthiest thing in the world (just like all Ben & Jerry's products), it falls somewhere in the middle of all the caloric bombs that they put out on the market.

Review: Talenti Caribbean Coconut Gelato

Gelato is something I've come to later in life after wandering through the wilderness.  My first taste of gelato was a Talenti product and I've really only had Talenti and maybe only one other gelato manufacturer in my life.  Even with that limited experience, I can say that I like it as my previous Talenti reviews have proven.  With that positive past history, I'm ready to dive into another gelato review with this review of Talenti's Caribbean Coconut flavor.  Coconuts are another flavor that I've come to enjoy later in life after disliking it most of my life, so coconuts and gelato mixed together is kind of like the perfect merger of my "mature" tastes.  Not sure I feel comfortable referring to myself as mature, but I did pick this pint up at Meijer on sale for $3.50 and it's a relatively tame 190 calories per serving and as always, there's four servings per pint.

Review: Edy's (Dreyer's) Slow Churned Fudge Tracks Light Ice Cream

Edy's is known as Dreyer's in some parts of the country (thus the two names in the review) and instead of going into a big long explanation, I'll just leave it to Wikipedia to explain why since it never lies.  Regardless, both of them are owned by Nestle.  Anyway, in 2005, Dreyer's/Edy's created their Slow Churned line of desserts that use nonfat milk and only a splash of cream to create a light ice cream that is half the fat and one-third the calories of traditional ice creams.  Healthy ice cream?  Well, not really, but the reduced calorie factor is certainly what got me interested in purchasing this Edy's Slow Churned Fudge Tracks Light Ice Cream at CVS on sale for $2.75.  Each 1.5 quart container has roughly twelve half-cup servings and each serving is 120 calories, so while not a "healthy" ice cream because no such thing exists, it is a "healthier" ice cream in the fact that it has fewer calories.

Review: Breyers Blasts! Chips Ahoy! Frozen Dairy Dessert

Frozen dairy dessert...yum.  The red-headed step child of ice cream, frozen dairy dessert can sometimes still be tasty when done right and on a recent trip to my local Marsh, they had a half price sale where I was able to pick up this 1.5 quart container of Breyers Blasts! Chips Ahoy! Frozen Dairy Dessert for $3.00.  Not a bad deal, despite the fact that I was scared of the frozen dairy dessert label.  Still, I was willing to give it a try since it included Chips Ahoy! cookies and maybe part of me thought that eating this would transport me back to my childhood when I used to devour those cookies by the handful.  Just for the record, each container contains about twelve half cup servings and each serving is 140 calories, so the frozen dairy dessert part of this obviously makes healthier, I guess.

Review: Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Having exhausted myself on Ben & Jerry's ice creams, I was in my recent Meijer recently scanning the ice cream freezer and I came across the Blue Bell Ice Cream section.  Now, I've known about Blue Bell ice cream for quite some time and have heard some recent positive publicity on it from both the web and my friends/relatives, but I've never developed any sort of attachment to it.  Usually that was because it only came in the 1.75 quart containers and it was expensive, so I just didn't want any part of it.  On that recent visit, I noticed that my Meijer is now selling it in pint sizes and it was on sale at a ridiculously absurd $1.49 per pint.  Cheap is my adopted middle name, so I knew I had to grab a pint to check it out.  Just for statistics purposes, this pint of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream is the typical four servings at a relatively tame 180 calories.

Site News: Ice Cream/Frozen Dessert Week Next Week

Who doesn't love ice cream?  Well, if you don't, you are un-American and you'll see why as you keep reading.


For those of you that don't know, July is the best month of the year.  Okay, maybe not the best, but one of the best and it's not because it seems to be about a billion degrees outside, no matter where you are.  Instead, the reason why it's one of the best months of the year is because July is National Ice Cream Month. That's right, there's a whole month dedicated to ice cream and there's even been a presidential designation by Ronald Reagan that says so.  That's how awesome ice cream is and as this blog as shown, I'm quite a big fan too.

Because of that, every review next week starting tomorrow is going to be dedicated to the frozen treat itself (or other ice cream-like treats).  We'll have a mix of some new and old manufacturers, so maybe you'll learn about something you've never heard of before or have always wanted to try.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy and try to stay cool in this summer heat!

Review: Muscle Milk Vanilla Creme Protein Shake

Sometimes I get too cute for my own good.  In my reviews of these protein "shakes", I often mock them for their long shelf life and/or the fact that they call themselves shakes.  For some reason and no matter if the manufacturer is Atkins or Muscle Milk, I just can't get over it...until now.  I'm turning over a new leaf (or whatever) and I'm just going to start reviewing these shakes for what they are and my first attempt at that is going to be a review of this Muscle Milk Vanilla Creme Protein Shake.  I picked up this fourteen ounce shake for free at Thornton's Fuel Center as part of a free promotion and each bottle contains 220 calories and 25 grams of protein.  It's both naturally and artificially flavored too, if you are interested.

Review: Kozy Shack Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding

Bread pudding is something that I've come to later in my life.  In fact, I had never had it up until a few years ago and the first couple times I had it, I didn't really think it was all that great.  I thought it was okay, I guess, but it was nothing that particularly stirred any passion (positively or negatively) for me in any way.  That all changed when I went to St. Louis a year or so ago and went to the breakfast buffet at the Renaissance Grand Marriott in Downtown St. Louis.  On their buffet, they had some bread pudding that was one of the most unbelievably awesome things that I've ever had in my life and there is not a week that goes by these days where I don't think about it.  I'm aware it's kind of a ridiculous obsession, but it is what it is.

Anyway, after having had Kozy Shack products before, but never their bread puddings, and then seeing Junk Food Guy's review of their Apple Cinnamon bread pudding (which I had seen in the store before, but had never purchased), I knew I had to try this out and see if the Cinnamon Raisin flavor (one of my favorite flavor combinations) was better than the Apple Cinnamon version that he reviewed.  Just for review solidarity's sake, I picked up a four pack of these 3.5 ounce cups at Meijer on sale for $2.50.  Each cup is 150 calories.

Review: Good Greens Plus Chocolate Raspberry Bar

In previous Good Greens Plus bar reviews, I've been impressed with how the bars maintain a nice and chewy texture, but still maintained some sort of internal crunch due to well placed rice crisps in the interior of the bar.  While I didn't find the bars to be overly outstanding, I did find them to be quite tasty so that leads me to another one of the bars that I received as part of a promo from Good Greens with this review of the Chocolate Raspberry bar.  This one comes in at 1.76 ounces and has 195 calories and ten grams of protein. It's also all natural, raw, gluten free, vegan and claims to contain 100% of your daily fruits and vegetables.  It makes this claim because of their Z52 mix that makes up the interior of the bar which contains 52 ingredients that are all mixed together to make a mind boggling super blend.

Review: Walden Farms French Salad Dressing

When I was growing up, I had an obsession with French dressing (and also ketchup).  When I wasn't putting ketchup on something, the chances were pretty good that I was using French dressing instead.  I even came up with a food creation that I found delicious at the time, but am now repulsed by the fact that I used to eat it.  This concoction was a slice of white bread topped with a slice of American cheese (unmelted) and then doused with a healthy amount of french dressing or Catalina dressing.  For some reason, I found this delicious and can't figure out why.  Anyway, I don't like French dressing as much now as I did then, but I still like it and that leads to this review of Walden Farms' attempted at French Salad Dressing.  I picked up this sugar and calorie free twelve ounce bottle from VitaCost.com (via Amazon.com) for $3.64.

Review: CLIF Crunchy Peanut Butter Bar

Sometimes when you look at the name of a product, you just get bored.  The name may be one word or a combination of words that basically describe one flavor and nothing really excites you about it.  I ran into that problem when I saw this CLIF Crunchy Peanut Butter bar.  Now, I really love peanut butter, but seeing something described as just crunchy peanut butter kind of bores me, especially after I've reviewed so many different types of flavor combinations on this blog so far and will continue to do so in the future.  Still, in the name of being comprehensive, I'm still going to review this bar that I picked up for $1.00 at the Dollar Tree (the price was shocking, LOL).  The bar is the CLIF Bar standard 2.4 ounces and it contains 240 calories and eleven grams of protein.
