While they aren’t always the tastiest of snacks, they sure keep you feeling full for longer than a slice of toast with jam. And since eating two cans of lentils or chickpeas at every meal proved to be rather unenjoyable, we turned to protein bars. But we’re living in a processed “Barbie” culture now.Īnyhow, I think these are great as a quick snack, especially if you’re a diabetic or pre-diabetic.After following a reckless vegan diet for four years-we developed a severe protein deficiency. Most of the foods et al Costco sells is heavily processed, some more and others less. To emphasize one product is being hypocritical. This wasn’t present when they debuted a few years ago. Now, occasionally they have a industrial chemical aftertaste. At the time, Irvine apologized for the errors in his resume and said that he had exaggerated his accomplishments in order to “keep up with the Joneses”.Īs far as these protein bars go? They were really tasty in the beginning. His other embellishments included a claim that he was knighted by the Queen and that he was a personal friend of now King Charles. Irvine reportedly claimed to have cooked for multiple US presidents in the White House, which he had not. Did we forget how he was caught in a scandal more than 10 years ago? Specifically, it was revealed that he had embellished his resume. Other options? Well, they’re often just plain gross and have that gritty texture we find awful. I genuinely think these bars are the best ones out there when you want high protein and low sugar. Too much can be tough on your kidneys.Īnd as for the sweeteners you mentioned, they’re kind of like how aspartame is needed in sodas for folks watching their carb intake. Honestly, a bar with 16 grams of protein is plenty for most people. Those really high protein bars can up your chances of getting overweight and diabetes (from what my physician told me). They like to use clever “earth” packaging to convince you otherwise. Most protein bars out there aren’t that healthy because they pack in loads of extra sugar and use not-so-great sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup. They’re a really good and not ridiculously expensive if you need a meal replacement. If you’ve done your homework, you probably know that these bars have gotten tons of great reviews for how good they taste and the top-notch ingredients they use.
We got a bunch and shared them with friends and family all over the world. Robert Irvine’s protein bars are seriously tasty. It’s too bad Natalie, you didn’t like them. They contain soy, almonds, milk and peanuts but are gluten-free. They’re so extremely processed and it’s not even like they have that much protein, 16 grams isn’t amazing. There’s sucralose, sorbitol, malitol and sugar in them. These are low in sugar but the ingredients list isn’t great and I kind of immediately regretted buying these to try after I read it. One bar has 190 calories, eight grams of fat, 14 grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fibre, three grams of sugar, eight grams of sugar alcohol, 16 grams of protein and 200 milligrams of sodium. Protein bars like this make a convenient breakfast, snack or meal replacement but real whole food is always better if you have time. The bars come individually packaged and have a best-before date of about a year and five months from when I purchased them. I paid $21.99 Canadian for the box of 18 baked bars. They’re new to my Costco in Edmonton and I also saw them when we were in Montana at Costco.
I needed some protein bars for camping and decided to try these Chef Robert Irvine’s ones.
