PROBAR - Review

An adventure in the mountains is rarely without those ubiquitous "bars", be they nutrition bars, energy bars, sports bar, meal replacement bars, protein bars… you get the idea. There are a lot of companies making bars these days; the market is saturated with a multitude of options, so how do you decide? I personally look for a bar that is mostly made from organic ingredients that I can pronounce and understand, that has some plant based proteins, that doesn't contain copious amounts of added sugars and that is less franken-science and more about real ingredients. Of course it has to taste good but I also want to know that it is doing my body good and is not merely a chocolate bar cloaked in a granola façade that is going to give me an energy high followed closely by a huge energy crash. The PROBAR is a 'bar' that fits all of these requirements so we decided to have a closer look.

PROBAR has its roots in the Wasatch mountains of Utah, as do so many other outdoor adventure based companies. In the late 90s a group of foodies wanted a bar to recharge with that contained natural, whole foods with no chemical additives and 100% vegan organic ingredients. They couldn't find one, so they started making one themselves and called it PROBAR.
