Promax Protein Bar Cookies 'n Cream - 20g High Protein, Gluten Free, Low Sugar, 12 Pack - Perfect for Post-Workout Recovery, Healthy Snacking & On-the-Go Nutrition

Over the past several years, sucralose has taken over as the preferred sweetener for health/fitness foods like protein powders and protein bars. But sucralose is documented as being antagonistic toward gut bacteria and for this reason, it causes me a lot digestive distress. So I've learned to avoid it like the plague. However, it has become harder and harder to avoid. I was happy to find this brand and this flavor a few years ago and I've been buying it ever since.I'm not really a chocolate person but I've also learned to accept that most of these foods come in various shades of chocolate. Cookies and cream flavors are the most acceptable chocolate flavor and this bar is reasonably tasty. It's not too hard or too soft, with an almost candy bar like consistency. Not quite, but close. It's somewhat thick as you're chewing it but not so much so that it's hard to eat. And it's appropriately sweet but not too sweet.If you like cookies and cream flavored snack bars, this is a pretty good bar with whey protein and some added vitamins and minerals. You can slide it in your bag or purse when you're on the go or when you're too lazy to just make yourself a proper breakfast. It's reasonably priced for this category (this category is expensive, though) and when you buy a box like this, it's the closest thing you can get to economical.
