awful protein bars

storyborey

I can eat most things but my new protein bars (maximuscle dark chocolate) taste like feet. I don't like feet.

Any ideas how to resuscitate them into something remotely edible?

batterfried?

Bake them into a delicious cake

Get drunk before you eat them

Crumble them like a granola and eat them with milk. Sounds gross though haha

Try spreading some almond butter or natural peanut butter on them. You could also break them up and use in a protein shake.

Throw them away and eat bacon instead.

barter then for something better? Seriously, someone is bound to like them.

Blend them into a smoothie?

Can you return them? Call the company, tell them and see if they will do something about it.

Wrap them in bacon

Unfortunately, most high-protein bars do taste a little like *kitten*. Luna and Quest bars are really good, but they are on the lower end of the protein spectrum, I think Luna caps out at 7g/bar or so. Pathetic. But I have found Mt-RX Colossal Creamy Cookie Crisp to be pretty dang good, all things considered. 30g protein, 15g fat, and I forget the carbs. But good ratios, altogether.

And in the future, might I make a suggestion? Don't buy boxes of protein bars you haven't tried, yet. Wait til Costco is giving out samples, or pay the extra to buy a single one at a convenience store, to see if you like it. That way you'll know whether you're willing to eat the whole box, before you spend money on it.

Come on...some people have a thing for feet and some could only dream of having feet

Are you closed to getting protein from different sources? What about protein shakes so you can mix fruit in and mask the taste (or find a delicious tasting brand)? I definitely like the crumbling idea, but perhaps into yogurt.

I second the Met-Rx bars. I've had a couple and enjoyed them. Net carbs are like 2 or 3 grams and total calories are around 300. They are definitely a meal, not a snack.

Thank you. To those who suggested not buying in bulk? I know. Hindsight and all that. Their chocolate mint are very nice.

I ended up microwaving it in a bit of almond milk, BP2, coconut oil, honey and a banana, all mashed together. Tasted a little better actually and kept me full until lunch. Will have to think of something new for the next one.
