        Comments about PROBAR Whole Meal Energy Bar:

        I spent a week backpacking through the mountains in New Hampshire and these were perfect for a quick snack; regular granola bars just don't have enough calories to keep me going when I'm doing anything strenuous.
        They taste really good and they're organic which is an added bonus. It's also nice to be able to eat something with real fruit in it when I'm camping, especially on long trips when fresh fruit isn't necessarily an option.

          I tried the 'Whole Berry Blast' and thoroughly enjoyed it. These bars are very 'seedy', and some people may not like the texture. I liked the healthy ingredients.

            I work overseas and good/whole food is impossible to get from the government dining hall... these have been my salvation!! Fill me up, travel well, taste great and I feel like, for at least 1 meal a day, my body gets something good for her.

            The PB&J and Cocoa Pistachio are my favorite- Happy Hippie working with the military....

            (Thank you REI for your ease of shipping to APO/DPO addresses!!)

              Comments about PROBAR Whole Meal Energy Bar:

              I LOVE these bars. Usually buy them in boxes of 12 at the store, since REI gives you a 20% discount if you buy 12 or more (of any bars). I think they taste great. Of course, that all depends on the flavor. My favorites are the 'original', 'superfood slam', and 'cocoa pistachio'. One bar has almost 500 calories and definitely keeps you full for hours at a time. Love the fact that most of their ingredients are very healthy and raw. I can HIGHLY recommend these!

                There are a lot of meal replacements bars out there but this one truly fills you up! I am on the market for a new bar and had the Cran-Lemon Twister. It was super tasty, not overly sweet, and jam-packed with all kinds of crunchy nuts, grains, and fruit. Can't wait to try the other flavors! This one is a keeper!

                Comments about PROBAR Whole Meal Energy Bar:

                I've tried most of the flavors and I can honestly say that these are the best bars I've had. They have a great flavor, they're easy to eat and a couple of bars is a great lunch on the go. The only drawback is the price, expensive for a bar like that in my opinion. They do deliver in flavor and energy though so I think they're worth it.

                  This bar barely had any taste at all, and it definitely did not taste like peanut butter. Also, during a two hour run in 20°F temp it became quite hard and difficult to bite, but I admit that I've yet find a snack bar that can withstand cold temps ;)'

                      Comments about PROBAR Whole Meal Energy Bar:

                      I've recently been trying out as many different energy bars as possible, trying to find those most worthy of space in my backpack. I was intrigued after reading some glowing reviews of the PROBAR, so I ordered several flavors from REI to try them out. I'm sorry to say that I was extremely disappointed with them. I found them to be among the most unpleasant energy bars I've ever tried. The flavor ranged from really bad at worst (I couldn't force down a single bite of the apple cinnamon), to really bland at best (the PB&J tasted like neither PB nor J). The texture is similarly unpleasant. I would describe it as oats and nuts gooped together into a bar-shaped snack. I would have to be really desperate for food before I would willingly open up another PROBAR.

                        First used these on a Philmont Trek and fell in love. A lot of younger hikers were thowing them into the swap boxes so I was able to get more than my fair share and ended up packing out extras. These have to be the most delicious bars on the market.

                            I saw these in my local REI store and bought 3 different flavors. I opened one and attempted to choke half of it down, I then tried to give the rest to my wife ( a health nut) and she took a bite and threw it away. We tried 3 different bars and they all tasted awful. In a survival situation, I would probably eat a slug before one of these. I'm sticking with Clif bars.
