Thank you so much for putting in all this work. I can't believe how thorough you guys are in these reviews. I'll definitely be trying out the snickerdoodle one!
Thank you so much, I hope you enjoy the Good bars! 🙂
OMG... I appreciate your thorough reviews so much! With all of these sneaky , hidden and artificial options available , it's hard to understand what is healthful and what is not. THANK YOU!
You are so welcome! 🙂
Awesome effort you guys!
Our pleasure! 😊
Your complete disgust of the top worst bars make me want to try them that much more ngl
You can't say we didn't warn you! 🤷
well done! loved your responses in the thick of it. i am looking forward to the recipes for your homemade snack bars.
Glad you loved the video! Which protein bar do you prefer? 🌱
Thank you for your effort! I can’t get most of these brands here in Germany, but it is really fun to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
I really appreciate this, thank you!
Thank you for your support! 😊
Ya'll are funny! SO thorough and so appreciated - thank you!!
Thank you so much for your kind comment! 🙂
LOL ..... what a great video! Thank you, and VERY helpful, as some of these I had really wondered about!!! Love your reactions!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your comment! 😁
Awesome video, thank you, love you guys ❤
Thanks for the kind words!!
was waiting for this!
Woohoo! Hope you enjoy! 😊
Feel good about this one. I have all of those Nugo Bars in my pantry. I knew I was on to something. They are so good! Great review guys.
They are awesome! Thank you for your comment! 😄
Thanks for this, so much work I can imagine! my favourites are not there though. They are PhD Smart Bar Plant, Barbells vegan cookie dough (the blue one) and Oatein Hype bar or millionaire crunch
You're very welcome! 😄 Thank you for the recommendations, we'll check them out! 🌱
Yoo appreciate you guys for putting me on some of these protein bars! Thank you! 🫶
Awesome! Which have you enjoyed so far? 🙂
@@TheVeganGym so far a couple of the nugo flavors & no nuts!
I love your reactions to the worst ones!
I went on a chocolate free phase & it was super hard to find bars without chocolate.
Haha we just tell it like it is! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
I love this and was laughing so hard! “Chalky chocolate chalk choc chunk” lol yall are doing the hard work none of us want to do 😂 thank you!
You are very welcome! 🙏
🏆 Awesome effort - I cannot imagine eating this many protein bars 😂 And you both give great reactions 😆👍
Out of allllll of these the only ones I've tried are the Misfits because they finally showed up in Australia recently... We too have some pretty terrible ones for sale here that make me wonder who made them and thought they were worth selling 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for another fun taste test video! 😊🎉
It was A LOT of protein bars... many of which were not good! 😂
Wow! Just like your powder video…amazing!!!
Glad you found this one helpful as well! 😃💚
Glad I found this video. Was debating what protein bars to buy 😅
This is definitely the video for you! 🙂
@@TheVeganGym Thank you :) already ordered some of the top bars!
I haven't laughed this hard in yeeerz, I made my list of bars, thank you for helping me combat menopause!
Haha glad you liked the video and found it helpful! 😊
You both had me laughing so hard 😂
😆😆 Glad we could help!
Hunters reactions had me cracking’ up, but you both played off each other! Thanks for doing this for us!!!!
Thank you for watching! 🙂
I definitely know what not to get now! I'm shocked at the no cow reaction. I love them! Any of the dipped ones are great and there aren't any bars with better macros.
Truth! I wish they werent 2.79/ bar though.
No Cow definitely is a rockstar in macros, even if they don't win in taste! 🐄
I feel like the only one that likes them lol. Try microwaving them for a couple seconds if you havent.
I'm a No Cow girl, peanut butter chocolate chip
I would love to see an interview with Drs. Furhman, Greger, and Esselystyn. Please and thank you.
We'd love that! 🙂
Loved this video. Thanks for the laughs and saving me from future disappointment. Glad Nugo won, but agreed espresso is not the best.
That's what we're here for - to be disappointed so you don't have to be! 😆
Any recommendations for good taste and texture protein bars that don't use dairy or nuts because I have a food allergies
Hi there, thank you for your comment! All of the bars included in this video are dairy-free. No Nuts would also be a great nut-free option! 🙂
Nocow is my favorite due to macros but its kinda chalky. I gotta try that good brand.
Yes, No Cow can't be beat on macros (protein % specifically), but they do tend to be a bit chalky. I hope you enjoy the Good brand! 😄
You really can’t go wrong with Nocow bars. Pairing them with a glass of soy milk helps it taste more like a tasty treat than a supplement lol
"Tastes like dehydration." made me choke-laugh. 😂😂😂😅
Aloha bars are my absolute fav. Vegan, organic, soft n yummy.
Aloha bars are AMAZING! 😃🌱
It would be cool to see yall's thoughts of GoMacro bars,. They are one of my few dietary vices hehehe
Haha if we end up making an updated version, we'll try to include them for sure! 🌱😊
Idk if thunderbird qualifies but those bars taste like a damn dream
Thank you for the suggestion! 🙂
Amazingly I made a salted caramel peanut butter bar myself with about 20 grams of protein and they were BETTER THAN THE NO COW BARS!
kyliefan7 Would you mind sharing your recipe for the salted caramel peanut butter bar? Sounds good!
This was epic guys!👏👏👏
Do you happen to know which bar has the lowest fat and calories?
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching! 😄
The following bars all have less than 25% of calories coming from fat. These are the lowest fat bars from our review:
Skout Organic - Chocolate Cherry
Grab the Gold - Peanut Butter & Jelly
Grab the Gold - Chocolate Peanut Butter
Pro Bar Protein - Coffee Crunch
No Cow - Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip
Good! - Snickerdoodle
The GFB - Oatmeal + Raisin
No Nuts! - Blueberry & Vanilla
No Nuts! - Lemon Creme
And these bars all have 150 calories or less:
Junkless - Double Chocolate Brownie
Junkless - Peanut Butter Delight
Tosi - Cashew Coconut
Tosi - Peanut Dark Chocolate
Simply Protein - Lemon Coconut
Orgain - Peanut Butter
Orgain - Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk
Orgain - S'mores
I hope this helps 😊
@@TheVeganGym thank you!!
No Cow has amazing macros IMO. They’re my first choice for a bar when I am able to eat corn. The Simply Protein brand is also a super win for me macros. Be careful; they have two recipes on the market. One has oats and flax and some other extras. The Costco multipack is the least ingredient bar with the same macros.
Great review but could you the nutrition label for top winners of each categories instead of only the b roll of front side of product
Also why dock points for artificial sugars when the science shows they are safe to consume in normal amounts
Thank you for your comment! We did not include the full nutrition labels for the sake of time, but if you are looking for a specific label, I would be happy to provide it for you. We also wanted to ensure that we covered categories for everyone's needs, since we know there are people who prefer to avoid artificial sugars. 🙂
@TheVeganGym fair maybe from a time saving perspective one of you guys can hold it and then flip it but if it's too time consuming I understand. The barebell ones but I can just look them up myself
@@TheVeganGym Also one more thing could you guys save all your vegan food reviews in a playlist?
Yall need to try Lenny and larrys cookfied [I had pb chocolate chip and cookies & creme]protien bars 160-180 calories 12g of protien and it tastes like a candy bar and the best protien bar I've ever had
Sounds awesome! 🙌
I love those! Tasty little treat. I’m surprised they weren’t included.
i think they did.
Did y’all get your daily protein intake doing this?
Definitely! 😆
The best bars ever made are Good Cravings. They are raw, 20g protein and perfect macros. Made to order also.
Thanks for the recommendation!
@@TheVeganGym of course fellas
This is an AWESOME video but you should warn your viewers that many bars are not available depending on where you live (US, Canada, Europe, etc).
Glad you enjoyed the video! We will do our best to provide this disclaimer in future videos!🙂
ok but which ones are gonna be in your pantry :)
All of them, with how many we ordered for the video 😂😂
I feel bad for both of your digestion.
I used to like protein bars, but i find they often taste chemically . I would now rather make my own. You should make your own home made protein bar recipe .
Thanks for taking one for the vegan team.
Haha all for the vegan team!
You missed the best Nugo bar- chocolate pretzel with sea salt
We'll have to give that a try for the next edition! That sounds awesome!
I bought a box of those no cow doughnut protein bars the other day and I thought it tasted like a chocolate covered doughnut.... If it was made in a 3D printer
Oh no! 🙂
Barebells bars are not vegan, contain maltitol, etc. ☹
Criteria should be no oils, no sugar alcohols and no natural flavors.
Best tasting over best for you. 🤨it’s not supposed to be candy.
We understand taste is an important factor for many people, but we included multiple categories to make sure everyone is covered! Thank you for your comment! 🙂
Except for a handful of bars the rest are not worth consuming despite their protein content because of the all the sugar they have. Just candy bars with added protein. Pure junk! 😀
I cant even believe Small Seed Bar is on this list. I will never eat another bar. And what they stand for. Small business. Look at their ingredients.
Glad you found the perfect bar for you! 😊
Man, you guys are picky =)
🤷😆
Barebells Hazelnut Nougat is NOT vegan!! i dont know if is worth watching the whole video tbh
Hey thanks for commenting! Barebells has two versions of its Hazelnut Nougat protein bar. One is vegan and one is not. We tested the vegan option. You can check out its ingredients on their website: shop.barebells.com/product/hazelnut-nougat-plant-based/?gad=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw756lBhDMARIsAEI0Agl8SpjPdijiPhorusSvKIBpmbrBuTNErC82QxBOWlK5kzA9GPGBoz0aAvG_EALw_wcB
