FINALLY! BUILD YOUR OWN PROTEIN BAR!

I always liked the convenience of protein bars but most of them taste like crap and the ones that do have decent taste are usually candy bars in disguise. Basically, protein bars are crappy. They are loaded with sugar and they are basically fabricated garbage you really don't want to put in your body. Remember, try to stay away from anything that is "packaged" (in a box or wrapper, meaning it's man-made, not natural!)

However, I found this website by accident and after thoroughly reviewing and exploring the site I am most impressed. They offer organic protein bars built to your tastes and desires. What a novel idea! I am placing my order today and I built my bar the following way:

Ingredients:
Base: Organic Peanut butter
Whey Protein (I added extra protein)
Sweetener: Organic Ogave Necter (I requested "less sweet")
I added Carob, Organic Coffee and Stevia
I added a Fiber infusion, Hemp seeds and Flax seeds (lots of fiber and lots of Omega-3!)
*My bar size is large, total calories are 277... not bad. This should be my ideal bar with the right macronutrients I personally desire... that is High Protein and natural fat, low carb and super-low sugar.

The great thing about building the bar is that you see the nutrition label change as you add ingredients to the bar. This is awesome!
I haven't tasted any of these bars yet but I trust that they must be pretty good. My recommendation is to build a box of bars for yourself and experiment with it. The great thing about this company is that they offer a guarantee. If you don't like the taste of your finished bar you can either exchange it or receive a refund. That's great service!
