Chocolate Crunch - Rich chocolate flavor that tastes like a milk chocolate bar (Hershey). The middle has a soft texture and resembles a brownie. Think about a chocolate-coated brownie with a hint of dark chocolate in the aftertaste. This one packs a punch!
Cinnamon Crunch - This bar reminds me of a cinnamon twist From FitCrunch/MusclePharm. The biggest difference in this one is how smooth the cinnamon flavor is. The icing glaze on top is the best aspect to this bar to replicate icing on a cinnamon roll. There is a slight buttery undertone like a fresh baked good to make this a well rounded bar.
Peanut Butter Crunch - This is right there with a Peanut Butter Fit crunch as the densest peanut butter bar I ever had. The peanut butter is rich, creamy, and packs a salty aftertaste. What is unique in this bar is small crunchy peanut butter pieces that are underneath the glaze. A small chocolate glaze is layered on top but is faint due to how bold the peanut butter taste is.
The texture on these is very close to a FitCrunch, MyBar, and NitroTech Crunch Bar. The outside glaze provides a delicious flavor and a crunch. The middle is a very soft brownie like texture. These bars are becoming very popular because they give you the best of both worlds. Another nice thing about these is they do need to be microwaved,(quest) and they are not so soft you can piece them with your fingers (Fitjoy, Mission 1).

The macro profile is very similar to FitCrunch in calories. This was also very similar to the Olympus Labs bar in which I got to beta-test. The protein is made up of WPC and WPI. What some consumers may not like is the added vegetable oils to the bar but that does help with the fat content. Corn syrup may raise an eye, but what I like is these are not very heavy fiber bars, which can settle very heavy and give me digestion problems. These are flavored with sucralose and have added maltodextrin to enhance the sweetness of the flavor.
Cost
This is what may scare some people away. In grocery stores you can find them for around $2.50-3, and if you order them direct on their webpage its $35 for 12 bars. For an average protein bar consumer $3 may be pushing the budget for an on the go meal replacement bar. Remember if you want one of the best tasting protein bars you will get what you pay for. The calories are higher, so it is not a small snack like a quest bar, or a Snap Nutrition Bar that is less than 200 calories. These are filling and will hold you over for another meal. For how good these tastes I would highly suggest picking them up.
Been waiting for this review from you - nice job as always.
These bars really seem to be a homerun if one can stomach the cost. IMO, the cost isn’t terrible if you eat these strictly as a back up meal. Not for daily bar eaters.
Once in a while when your in a bind = great
These should just be there to help supplement when you cant get a real food meal in. But I Agree the taste is def worth the price point IMO. Give em a shot.
I will have them before the Arnold.
When i posted my review above on Instagram the company contacted me for future beta-testing and reviews. They let that piece of information slide (Cookies). They will also send me a caramel sinfit bar (Since I could not find one local) to review as well.
I hope they make a Birthday Cake bar , The MyBar one is good, but I think SinFit could crush it and surpass the One Bar
I will take your word for it that they taste good. I just cant do the protein bars. Everyone that I have tried based on all these rave reviews still don’t taste that good. They have that funny aftertaste and/or the texture is bad so I gave up trying them. Give me nuts, yogurt, jerky, or cheese for protein snacks. Good review though!
Trust me… I eat protein pudding everyday (whey + Yogurt) and mix in rice cakes. I like to chop up a protein bar and throw it on top to give it texture/taste to add to the whey protein mixture. Its one of my go to and pre-workout meals.
If you ever had a FitCrunch bar these are very similar in texture (Glaze, Coating, Very soft brownie center) with a rich flavor.
I will always be partial to whey + Yogurt … one it is cheaper, and macros will always be better. I just simply use the bars as convenience to help enhance it as a sludge + Protein bar mixture with some rice cakes or other things like cheerios.
If they made a Confetti/Birthday Cake I bet it would be bomb
Im waiting for a company to make a GREAT Red Velvet bar… and if they did a seasonal pumpkin #Gameover.
No offense but I have heard that many, many times and have always been disappointed. I just don’t buy bars. Expensive and not worth the money besides having sub par taste.
Hey Brawn, have you considered the new Animal Snak bars perhaps? They’re made from real food and 2 of the 4 flavors I’ve tried - they’re incredible. Taste and texture is spot on according to the flavor name. There’s a PB/Honey/Oats flavor that just tastes like breakfast to me.
Just throwing that out there if you feel like trying another bar that may not be like the others you’ve tried.
To the majority who eat or utilize bars it they will 100% think elsewise.
There is no one size fits all. I will always consume whole food prior to ever eating a bar. But there are always countless other ways to get or make your own bar. I do it all the time Using a food processor with oats, peanut butter, whey, and just using a touch of yogurt as a wet ingredients to bind everything together. Put on tin foil and pound into a bar and keep in the fridge. it will gel right up.
You may want to go that route with your favorite whey brands.
