Bar Review: BALANCE GOLD CRUNCH SERIES

I wanted to give these bars a couple of weeks and get some feedback before
writing this......lol

After Balance's recent Additions of Triple Chocolate Chaos (Gold)...and Penut Butter (uncoated)

Balance has introduced "The Gold Crucnch bar"...as the name implies......layers...with one of the layers being a delicate yet chewy crucnch...

3 Flavors

Smores.......so far the least favorite...tastey but not perfect

Chocolate Mint Cookie......if you like mint....this is "your" bar......much better than the Smores

Chocolate Chocolate Crunch.......PLEASE....stay away from this bar...IT'S TOO DAMN GOOD!


DP

p.s. Also be on the lookout in 2-3 weeks for U-TURN....Detour's Sister....30 P and taste's like a "Milky Way"
(not that I would remeber what a MW tastes like LOL)

LOL...I agree "Danger"!! especially for me!!!

Detour sounds like it'll put a detour on your nutritional plan and U-turn will put you back where you started.....

I found a Detour bar the other day and decided to give it a try. Probably the best bar I've tasted, but I find that no matter what they do or try, they still can't get rid of the "gritty" taste in em.

As for Balance bars - haven't found one I like yet. Looking forward to the U-Turn though!

You really thought so Lean. WOW, I didn't find them gritty at all. I hate all protein bars because of the taste but these were the first ones that I actually liked.

Not that I'm suppose to eat them, just saying I liked them!

MMMMMm Milky Way!

DP,
Bro I don't know if you've posted it b4, but do you have the macros on the detour bars handy? anyone?

DP! Say it isn't so! A Milky Way protein bar? I'm done for. I finally tried one of the Detour Bars and now I'm because I can't eat them now.

W8~Jodi...cravings? I don't even want to discuss my cravings.

Jodi - yah, I found them a LITTLE gritty. But as I said, the best bar I've ever had. And yes, I'm a gonner too if they make this U-Turn bar! Wahooo!

PS ~ ever try a Milkey Way Ice cream bar??? Hmmmmmm, ice cream

I only have one distributor out of many carrying that P-Nut Balance right now (trying to get others to bring it in)...and one of the gyms is cleaning me out of it regularly......I'd say just keep on trying, it's a dam good bar.

You know I don't solicit here, but if you can't find it, I'd be gald to help, just PM me.

...and all the Satsifaction flavors are good, but you are so right, MEGA-CARBS!
