Snickers Marathon Protein Bar Chocolate Nut Burst - 12 Bars Review

Snickers Marathon Protein Bar Chocolate Nut Burst - 12 Bars
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Snickers Marathon Chocolate Nut Burst Protein Bars are a middle of the road protein/energy bar. I really like the taste of these, and their 22g of protein is the highest content of any of the protein bars that I regularly eat - Cliff Builder, Kashi, and Promax being the others. They are also fairly high in electrolytes with 360mg of Sodium and 260mg of Potassium, and these are important to those who train hard and need the extra minerals. The one downside to these is that their sugar content (at least in part) comes from corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup. The other products that I mentioned avoid this by using more natural sources such as evaporated cane juice. Because of the sweetener, I do not use any of the Snickers products as my primary protein bars. I use them more as a change of pace to keep from burning out on the others. For the more nutritious conscious, I would recommend products from Cliff, Kashi, or Promax. While these are better than a regular candy bar, you can still do better.

Snickers Marathon ENERGY Bar Crunchy Dark Chocolate 12 Bars Review

I am hoping this will be included in the Amazon Prime selection soon because as a frequent protein- and nutrition-bar consumer, this one is the best I've found so far.
I also like Odwalla Super Protein, Kashi Protein Roll bars, and Atkins Nutrition bars, but they are all 190-250 calories which I find a bit too high in calories for an afternoon or mid-morning snack.
This Marathon Nutrition (different from Marathon Energy) bars comes in two flavors, almond nut crunch and dark chocolate, and the dark chocolate flavor is excellent and true to the description. It has no discernible metallic/chalky aftertaste that many of the fortified bars have (although this includes a good range of vitamins and minerals too), and contains the following macronutrients:
Calories: 150
Protein: 11g
Carb: 22g with 7g fiber and 9g sugar
Fat: 4.5g
150 is just right for me, and 11 grams of protein with that calories profile is EXCELLENT. Most of all, it's delicious.
The only drawback that I can see in these bars is the relative unavailability in markets (I think it's still new), and its non-organic ingredients. Overall, excellent, healthy product from a candy brand.

Mrs. May's Ultimate Plus Bar High Calcium & Iron, Black Sesame, 1.4-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) Review

The ingredients listed on the Amazon page are "Black Sesame Seeds, Rice Malt, Almonds, Evaporated Cane Juice, Sea Salt." The ingredients listed on the box are "Black Sesame, Almonds, Cashews, Sun Flower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Rice Malt, Sesame Seeds, Natural Flavors, Cane Juice, Sea Salt." That's a pretty significant difference, especially since I'm violently allergic to cashews. I will be returning these.

I love, love, LOVE this brand of protein bars...great taste, not to sweet and a lot of nuts in the bars. I really like this particular flavor.

KIND is a brand of all-natural whole nut and fruit bars made from ingredients you can see and pronounce, and it's also a movement that gives new purpose to snacking. Apple Cinnamon & Pecan is a deliciously gooey combination of dried apples, almonds, cashews, and pecans, drizzled in sweet honey. A good source of fiber, this apple pie-like delight is a healthy alternative to dessert.

I like them. Remind me of the Planters Peanut bars in crunch and consistency but the taste is much more varied so I doubt I'll get tired of them.
For the record, here is the list of ingredients from Mrs. May's website.

These bars taste great and are good for you. They aren't loaded with sugars and preservatives like the ones on the grocery shelves. Instead, they're loaded with healthy stuff that I appreciate, but for my 5-year-old it's all about the yummy factor. (I have trouble getting him to eat breakfast before school, but he happily devours one of these in the morning.) Just out of the package is great, but heat in the microwave for a few seconds to make it even better. Crumble in yogurt (or ice cream!) or eat it on the run. Looking forward to trying the other flavors. FYI - The smaller, square bars are also quite good, but the planks get my top rating.

I saw the advertisements for these Kashi Bars on the back of my cereal boxes and knew I had to try them.
I decided to buy one of each flavors at my local grocery store before I buy a pack of 12 here on amazon. In my opinion, the Chocolate Turtle ones are the best tasting and closest to an actually candy bar.
The toasted pecans on the outside are what makes this bar my favorite. And its good for you health wise!! 6g of Fiber and 12g of Protein.
Total Fat = 5g = 8%
Sat. Fat = 1.5g = 8%
Trans Fat = 0g
Cholesterol = 0mg
Sodium = 200mg = 8%
Potassium = 60mg = 2%
Total Carb. = 28g = 9%
Fiber = 6g = 24%
Soluble Fiber 3g
Insoluble Fiber 3g
Sugars 14g
Protein = 12g = 20%
190 Calories
Everything based on a 2000 Calorie Diet, just so you guys know. Finally, no High Fructose Corn Syrup or Partially Hydrogenated Oils. Can't go wrong!!!! My local grocery store charges $1.79 for each of these, so great deal here.
Hope that helps and enjoy!!!!!

Average Reviews:

I bought these as a way to supplement my meals, as well as get more fiber and protein. First of all, these bars are fairly nutritious. They are made of natural ingredients and whole grains, just like the cereal. Each bar contains 6g of fiber and 9g of protein. Considering most people in the United States don't get enough fiber, that is a very decent amount. Previously I was eating the Fiber One Bars Oats & Chocolate, 5-Count Boxes (Pack of 6). While you get 3g more fiber in those bars, you only get 2g of Protein. The Kashi bars are made of better (and more nutritious) ingredients, and they taste better as well. Each bar has only 180 calories, but they are very filling due to the fiber and protein.
Although a bar made of brown rice and oats doesn't sound very tasty, these are some of the best bars I've tried. As the name implies, they're not chewy, but not too crunchy either. Below is the main nutritional info:
