MTS Protein Wafer Review
Taste
Vanilla - The outer coating of the wafer contains a vanilla shell. There is a chocolate layer on the bottom and a small glaze on top that hits your taste buds in the aftertaste. The wafer packs a luscious sweetness and a subtle butter undertone resembling a voortman wafer. The crunchiness is perfect right out of the wrapper, and the vanilla is the dominant flavor. The way the chocolate lingers in the aftertaste gives the correct richness needed to go hand in hand with the sweet vanilla wafer. I did enjoy the protein wafer, and do not mind it not being 100% natural like the outright bar. I found the MTS Protein Wafer to digest just as easy, but I would like the chocolate to pack more punch.
Texture
The texture of the wafer is not as soft as the outright bar, but is easy to eat right out of the wrapper. The wafers are a bit firm on the outside due to the texture of a wafer. The wafers have a very soft that resembles a nutty butter bar. There is a slight glaze on top of the wafer, but that does not affect the crispiness of the protein good. Overall this gives you the best of both worlds with a crispy outside and a smooth soft center.

Overall
THE PROS
• Well priced for a 4 pack during a pilot beta-test.
• Digest easy like the outright bar
• Impressive taste and texture
• Unique balance ratio of Carbs, Protein and fats (lower then outright bar)
THE CONS
• Some may complain about the protein content. This is meant to be a healthy “Snack” not a full-blown protein bar.
• Some may complain its not 100% Natural like the outright bar
• Could use stronger chocolate base and glaze.
