Review on 🍫 BSN Protein Crisp Bar by Syntha-6 - 20g Whey Protein, Gluten Free, Low Sugar, Peanut Butter Crunch - 12 Count by Amy Weaver

Revainrating 5 out of 5

ATTENTION! Great protein bar

I've tried many brands of protein bars. It feels like I'm eating rice flakes because of the texture, which is very different from Quest/Costco bars or other protein bars. Another thing to note is that the calorie to protein ratio and flavor is VERY good, especially when you factor in flavor. I would like to add 30-50 extra calories to these bars for a much better taste and texture than Quest or other protein bars. There are other protein bars that typically require 100+ calories above the average 200 calories to get a protein bar that tastes this good, yet their texture still feels unpalatable. Oil. Otherwise use peanut butter. I've also seen several reviews raising concerns about sucralose and aspartame (aspartame isn't in this product by the way) and that it causes cancer. Yes, there are studies that have shown potential links, but the link has not been proven. There are other studies that actually refute this association (over 100 studies independently favor each sweetener), but for the sake of argument this is unproven. In addition, the FDA and EFSA (EFSA is basically the FDA for Europe) have declared that it is safe to consume these artificial sweeteners (of course, don't overdo it like you would with other foods). The claim that it is a proven carcinogen is false. I also implore anyone who would like to know more about this topic to do their own research as well and do it for themselves through trusted sources (and avoid those mom blogs).

Pros
  • Easy snacking option - convenient enough to take with you everywhere to support your health and fitness goals on the go
Cons
  • Slightly shabby
