Review: Promax LS Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Protein Bar

I was sent some free samples of Promax bars a few months ago and I've done a really shoddy job making my way through the samples.  I've touched on some of them, but there are still three others sitting by waiting for me to review them.  So, here we are today as I take a look at one of those bars in this Promax LS Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Protein Bar review.  The bar itself is 2.36 ounces and packs in 240 calories and eighteen grams of protein.  It's made with Stevia, thus the lower sugar, and it's also gluten free, kosher and vegetarian.

Review: Promax LS Salted Caramel Protein Bar

I mentioned a while back that Promax had sent me some bars as free samples to review and while I've gotten to some of them in reviews, I haven't really been rushing to get everything done.  I don't know why, but that has been the case.  Anyway, I figured today was as good as any to knock out another one of those bars, so that leads me to today's review of this Promax LS Salted Caramel Protein Bar.  LS means lower sugar and this bar is also lower carb, so there's that.  That also means that for a fairly large 2.01 ounce bar, this one only packs in 180 calories.  Within that is a robust eighteen grams of protein, so this is "packing", so to speak.  It's also gluten free and kosher, so there's some positivity.

Review: Promax LS Chocolate Almond Protein Bar

Recently I was contacted by someone associated with Promax protein bars asking me if I'd like to get some free samples to review for the blog.  They then asked me what flavors I'd like and after looking at the archives of the blog, I realized two things.  First, I haven't reviewed a Promax bar in a really long time (December 2013) and second, I haven't done many Promax reviews at all (only three).  That surprised me because I thought I had done more.  Anyway, I got my free samples and today's review of this Promax LS Chocolate Almond Protein Bar is the first in what will be a numerous amount of Promax reviews coming in the future as I work my way through these bars.  Today's bar is 2.01 ounces and clocks in at 190 calories with eighteen grams of protein.  It's lower sugar (LS) and that means that it's made with 75% less sugar than a comparable protein bar.  In case you have dietary restrictions, it's also gluten free and kosher.

Review: Detour Lower Sugar Caramel Peanut Protein Bar

It seems that I can only find these Detour bars at one of my regular stores and that's why I've only done one review in the past.  That store is Meijer and their nutrition bar section is in a part of the store that requires me to make a special trip, so on the rare occasion that I do my grocery shopping there, I even more rarely visit that section.  Anyway, that boring diatribe about my shopping habits aside, I picked up this Detour Lower Sugar Caramel Peanut Protein Bar for $1.25 at the aforementioned Meijer.  It is 50% less sugar (thus the name) and weighs in at 1.5 ounces with 170 calories and fifteen grams of protein.

Review: Detour Lower Sugar Chocolate Chip Caramel Whey Protein Bar

As I was walking through the office, I came to a big cluster of people and knew that I had to take a detour to get away, thus today's review.  Okay, that was perhaps the cheesiest and worst opening line I've ever written in blog history and that's saying something because I've written some truly AWFUL introductions.  My awful introduction notwithstanding, today's review of this Detour Lower Sugar Chocolate Chip Caramel Whey Protein Bar is the first Detour product that I've taken a look at here on the blog.  I grabbed this at office snack time, so it was free to me, but I have seen these at the store in the $2.00ish range, I believe.  This bar itself is of the lower sugar variety (50% less sugar than a normal bar) and is 170 calories with fifteen grams of protein.
