I've recently had the opportunity to do a product review for a company called YouBars, a company that allows you to design a custom energy bar perfectly tailored to your personal taste and nutritional needs. First off, I have always loved this idea because so often, I have to compromise on a product that has almost all of the ingredeints I want but some I don't. YouBars lets you get exact.
When you pick up a bar, you realize just how packed with good stuff they are. These bars give you your moneys worth. They are full of ingredients, which, I should say, was something I had to get use to. I'm usually someone that likes a lighter bar but then I'm always hungry. They are somewhat dense and chewy, that first bite is a mouthful.
I got to taste a variety of bars with a variety of ingredients which was excellent because quite frankly some of the ingredients they offer, I had never even tasted before. What I found is that I liked quiet a bit of it. One thing that I think is important to note is that these bars are so full of healthy ingredients that you could use them as meal replacement options if you're on the run.
I liked that they used organic ingredients and that you can pronounce the name of every ingredient on the label. They also give you the option to give the bars an extra boost with "infusions" of things such as vitamins and fiber. Oh and did I mention, as you're building the bar, they calculate and show you the nutrition facts? That's awesome!
And just in case you're not ready to committ to a custom blend, they give you some of the most popular bars to chose from. My favorite combinations where the Cinnabar and Honey Cashew.
In addition to the nutrition bars, you can also make your own Shakes and Trail Mix. I don't have to even give you a product review of the trail mix. It was all great. The protein mixes well and doesn't clump which is my biggest pet peeve with protein powder. I really wanted to mix it into my smoothie but I drank it straight to get the taste and it was something I could take to the office or on the road to one business trips. The fact that they are individually packages is also great for people like us who are always moving around. When you do have time to make a shake or need one, this makes it super easy.
And lastly, the trail mix is perfectly portioned. It would make a great snack for kiddos or parents. Great ingredients you can feel good about.
My final thoughts on YouBars.com is that they put healthy snacks and nutrition into easy to "grab and go" portions and they do it using only the finest ingredients.
