        Unlike a cliff bar, I can eat these when they are cold.
        Unlike an energy bar, these taste good.
        Unlike a snickers bar, they aren't loaded with sugar
        I can eat a pile of these on a climb

        This is a great tasting raw food product with a low sugar content. That may not sound appealing to everyone, but it actually taste far better then any other bar I've tried.

          These are expensive, but they taste so great, and when you're sick of eating all the usual gels, etc, it's a nice change of pace, and real food. I'll be going on a 5 day stage run in the mountains and you can bet I'm stocking up on these. Man cannot live on shotbloks alone. :)

            Always fresh, packed full of great ingredients, Arts Blend and Whole Berry Blast are by far the best two flavors.

            I have tried most bars, this is by far best, it is also the most expensive, though totally worth it.

              I run about 15 miles a week and ride close to 100. These bars are a great replacement for most any other bar out there. Much easier to swallow when your mouth is dry, tastes great, and helps boost you through that last mile of whatever it is you are doing. The cost is minimal when compared to the gains. I use these bars as a snack 2xs a day, as part of my breakfast, and as an energy boost when out on the trail. What I really love about the PRO Bar is when you get a whole piece of fruit in some of them. Try them out, they're awesome!!

                These bars are the best things out there. If you are going out on long rides, runs or hikes and you need a solid food source that's not going to get smooshed or melt in your pack and won't require a gallon of water to wash it down, this is the bar. I've tried every flavor except the Superfood Slam and they're all outstanding. The original blend is still my favorite. I've shared with friends, and they've converted too. If there's a better bar out there, I haven't found it.

                    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.

                      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.

                        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 ;)'

                            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.
