Definitely one of the best tasting protein bars available...

Plain and simple these Builder's Bars are one of the best tasting protein bars you can get. They are crispy and chewy at the same time and they aren't super sweet like a candy bar. And at 2.4 ounces a piece they are large enough and filling enough to be a meal replacement.



And the one thing that I really like is that when I read the ingredients I actually know what the stuff is! Nothing weird or unnatural just real ingredients!



Out of the four flavors available (Chocolate Mint Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies `n Cream) I prefer the Chocolate Mint and Peanut Butter mainly because they taste even less like a protein bar. I'm not saying the plain Chocolate and Cookies 'n Cream are bad tasting just that I prefer the taste of the Chocolate Mint and Peanut Butter ones (they are all really tasty).



These are just awesome 100% natural high protein real ingredients and they taste great! I just love them!



A bit of product info:

Vanilla Almond: 39% organic ingredients

Chocolate Mint: 32% organic ingredients

Chocolate: 33% organic ingredients

Cookies `n Cream: 35% organic ingredients

Peanut Butter: 35% organic ingredients



Side note:

Do not buy these expired (like on eBay or in-store)! Since these bars do not contain any preservatives they can loose their freshness and vitamin potency quickly and can develop a simple bread mold. It is recommended that they be eaten within a month of their sell by date (they are guaranteed to be fresh one month passed the sell by date printed on the wrapper).



EDIT: I just bought myself a couple of boxes of the of the new Vanilla Almond flavor and oh my they are mighty tasty. Sometimes you just don't want a chocolate protein bar and these fit the bill perfectly! And just like the other Builder Bars they are not super sweet just a perfect balance. That and they contain more organic ingredients then the other Builder Bars (39%).



If chocolate is not your pleasure try the Vanilla Almond bars you will not be disappointed!More detail ...

This Stuff is the 'Whey" to Go

What is it? A big jug of protein powder! In fact you get over 5 lbs!



Okay you know its protein and the label says "Whey"- but what exactly is whey? Well whey or milk plasma is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained. Most of us know that milk has protein in it so the stuff in the big black jug here is essentially a milk protein.



So what's the big deal about whey protein? Well supposedly whey has the ability to be digested quickly which allows the protein to become available very quickly. Most people use it after workouts to help increase the levels of amino acids in the blood which are taken up by the muscles to help repair and rebuild them.



As you can tell people who are physically active are probably going to need this stuff the most. Physical activity normally breaks down the tissues of the body as you use it and since protein is the building blocks of your tissues well lots of physical activity equals higher protein needs. How much more protein athletes need above and beyond sedentary people is a matter of controversy- as is the protein requirements of bodybuilders. However please keep in mind that high protein intake can be hard on your kidneys because they're the organ that has to deal with this stuff the most so if you have any kind of kidney issues (i.e. your creatinine is sky high) it'd be best to check with a doc before ingesting huge quantities of protein.



On to the specifics of this particular protein powder. To use it you simply mix it with water or any liquid for that matter- then throw it down the hatch. Does it taste good? Well some people like it and some people don't- me telling you that I like it won't mean much in this case.



Anyway when all is said and done this is a decent source of protein for people who don't have time to eat huge chunks of meat large quantities of eggs or drink gallons of milk. At 24 grams of protein a serving this product packs a whallop that can go a long way to help make healthy tissue stronger or injured tissue healthy. Also recommend Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow if tendinitis interferes with your workouts or activities.
