Protein Plus Bites from PowerBar; 20 grams of trisource protein (soy, casein and whey), 34 grams of simple and complex carbohydrates, 300 calories, eight gumball sized, chocolate peanut butter bites.
The idea is shockingly simple: take a protein bar, slice it up into eight pieces, throw them in a zip-lock bag and you essentially have a bag of Protein Plus Bites. In fact, the nutrition content for the PowerBar Protein Plus BAR is almost identical.
Imagine a minny Reece’s cup that has been sitting out from last Halloween, a little dry but once chewing begins all the elements collide and the bite goes down easy.
The packaging has a utilitarian appeal; easy open, easy close and easy stored. The resealing pouch fits in a jersey, an apron or gym bag, nice for a busy shift in a restaurant when there isn’t time for a meal.
A word about trisource protein-
The combination of three different types of protein offers more than most protein bars. Not only does it have immediately and intermediately digesting proteins but also a slow digesting protein so that the body is processing and receiving protein hours after ingestion.
I munched on these after a devastating body weight workout and throughout a night of waiting tables. I didn’t notice any revolutionary difference other than I wasn’t starving. Nutritionally, one could just as easily have half a can of tuna on wheat bread and a scoop of low fat cottage cheese for a quarter of the cost, but these do taste like candy, come prepared for easy access and are bound to turn a few heads from the sweat hogs working on their sick traps on the smith rack at your local Globo Gym.
