Protein bar has been around for ages and many people has regarded it as a snack that's mostly loaded with sugar and carbs. Some of the bars even worsen IBS and you'd feel bloated. I was firstly introduced to PowerBar Protein Plus when I signed up for Brooks half marathon at Bukit Jalil. They were giving out this bar for free to all HM runners. To my surprise, it went well with my stomach and the recovery from this 20g protein bar was amazing. I felt less sore the day after and remember, this is a post workout bar, not something you would just want to have it if you're already hitting your daily protein requirement. If you're doing that, it's much more cost effective to stick with whey protein powder.
In general terms, an active person should consume 1.5-2grams of protein per kg of body weight. The main ingredients in this bar are top notched:
- Soy protein isolate
- Whey protein isolate
- Calcium caseinate
- Peanuts
The calorie tops at 210 which is low in comparison with many other protein bars out there. It might not be sufficient for some who's trying to bulk or increase weight.
I highly rate this bar at 4/5 being a low calorie, high protein and easy on the stomach. It's selling for RM10.90 at most health store and pharmacies.
