  • I review protein bars vs the real thing! we have seen huge companies like Oreo, nutter butter, fruity pebbles, and Cinnabon do protein flavor collaborations with supplement companies and now it is happening with protein bars. Today I try out some some protein bars made by companies like snickers, cinnamon toast crunch, moon pie and more to see if they are actually worth buying over the real thing!

      Agreed. I struggle getting my protein in. Not a big meat eater and allergic to eggs (can have things with eggs as ingredients though, which is weird), so I loves ideas on to get a little more protein. Plus, getting the taste test is great so I know not to waste my money on.

    Loved this! Maybe you could do smth similar, where you try out different energy drinks/protein powders? Or just some other protein foods? Maybe we could get another "What to buy at xx" video? I love watching you go around American Supermarkets because they differ SO MUCH from the supermarkets in Europe/Denmark! Another great video, Joey! 🔥

    I personally tend to stay away from all this stuff and just processed foods overall! I find that when I eat their protein counterparts I still have the same reaction. I tend to still want to eat more of it and my digestion is sometimes even worse due to the artificial sweeteners and added fiber. I would rather make sure to eat my days of quality protein and at the end of the day just have the real thing because you know at least it will be good. Awesome video, very enjoyable!

    • @JoeySuggs

    Great comparison review! I’ve heard bad things about the candy bar protein bar collab ones; personally the moon pies were pretty well done I think. The icing on the protein versions is replaced by some sort of shelf-stable yogurt, though the taste was pretty spot-on for what it is.

  • @metalhead4ever69
    @metalhead4ever69 8 місяців тому

    Great video. I live 20min from Hershey here in PA so nothing will ever compare to Reeses and as you stated the 10cal difference isn't worth it per se. I absolutely love the tasty pastry as well. They are my favorite out of any protein bar or snack. Even better than barabells bars even thought they slam as well.

    • @JoeySuggs

    you should try the quest HERO bars!! cookies and cream, chocolate peanut butter, and chocolate salted caramel are my favorites. they really do taste like candy bars with 15-18g protein and 150-180 cals

    • @JoeySuggs
      @JoeySuggs  8 місяців тому +1

      Yessss all the quest hero bars are pretty good👌

  • @Jmartucci81
    @Jmartucci81 8 місяців тому

    Great video. I think it's a great point to understand the value of eating a 'protein' bar and having a snack. the comparison of Reeses to Quest is great. at the end of the day calories in vs. calories out are nearly identical. for me the treat of an actual candy bar, in my opinion, far put weighs a negligible 5 grams of protein.
    I think when we look at protein bars and or drinks my personal rule of thumb is the protein-to-calorie ration should be close to even for it to be worth it (for example 200 calories with 20 grams of protein) I believe Greg Douchette had put me onto that rule. Quest, legendary, barbells even Pure Protein do this really well
    I was just traveling and at a gas station said to myself I can eat 2 Quest protein bars @ 400 calories and 40 grams of protein OR get a Pro series Muscle milk and a Snickers bar which work out to almost the exact same macros and I get the pleasure of enjoying a candy bar :)
    Side note I do LOVE the legendary 'pop tarts' and they do offer great macro split :)

    Is the 5 grams of protein in a Quest cup going to make a difference? That's the wrong question? The question that should be asked is, will dropping the 22 grams of added sugar make a real difference in your health? The answer is a resounding "yes". I put my type 2 diabetes into remission by switching to high protein, low sugar replacements for my favorite sweet treats.

    Where did this idea that lower calorie = healthier come from? Sure, a fair bit of healthy foods such as fruit, veggies and lean protein are in fact low in calories but there are plenty of low calorie foods that have almost no nutritional value and vice versa plenty of high calorie things loaded in nutrients & minerals.

    • @JoeySuggs
      @JoeySuggs  8 місяців тому

      Very true idk but it’s sooo misleading😂

  • @ditz3nfitness
    @ditz3nfitness 8 місяців тому

    The thing is, often these copycat protein bars by the real companies doesn't taste any better than the real thing, yet has around the same calories, just with more protein. They still have A TON of added sugar and artificial crappy ingredients. This makes them not worth it, and tbh, you should just have THE REAL THING if you crave it, and then have a protein shake on the side. It's just like the Lenny & Larry's Cookies. Those are 420 calories, and only 16g of protein. I'm sure having THE REAL DEAL from a bakery at like 300-400 calories, and then a protein shake that's 100 calories by the side, would be SO MUCH BETTER, and would satisfy your cravings A LOT BETTER! 👆

  • @sherriw7673

    A fine video but you left out the elephant in the room...the COST! If taste and macros were the only considerations, of course I'd opt for the healthier choice. But I just now looked up the price of a few of these items and, holy smokes, they are not cheap! I'll stick with Costco protein bars, not cheap, but at least reasonable. Again, though, a fine video well done.
