MET-Rx Big 100 Crispy Apple Pie Bar

This is tied with their church flavor for my favorite protein bar. Maximum protein, genuinely appetizing so it's easy to eat, and it serves as a meal replacement when my appetite is poor. They're pricey but they're worth it and the price on the case of 9 is a good deal compared to buying them individually. I buy 3 boxes every month so I can have one a day for most of the month.

Best tasting bar I’ve had with great nutrition profile. Quick and easy way to get through busy days and workouts. Try to catch them on sale!

Protein bars have gone through changes over the years, as some people are looking for low carb, or perhaps 'plant' protein (which makes little sense to me, they simply are incomplete in AA composition). Years ago I used to use some of the original MetRx bars. They were nutrition dense, hard to chew, and not the tastiest things around. My old standby bars keep going up in price & I was looking around. Seeing the MetRx name, I was curious. This is a 30g protein bar that also has substantial carbohydrate. What the low-carb folks do not understand is that muscles REALLY need to reload glycogen (a storage polymer of glucose) after working out. That means take in some carbs! This bar tastes more like desert than nutrition. Yes, there is a good bit of sugar, but again POST WORKOUT that is not bad! It provides a READILY AVAILABLE supply of glucose to your muscles. These bars are expensive, but as a meal-replacement especially after working out, it seems worth it. Also realize that people are different (I am speaking as a physician), and their response to various diets, medications, etc will vary. I am one who does not function well with restricted carbs in my diet, I tend towards hypoglycemia. Years back (while competing as an endurance athlete) I went through a phase of low carb intake. I could not train hard enough, and it clearly was not compatible with intense races. So THIS bar FOR THIS ATHLETE is an excellent choice. YMMV

Great flavor.

Great meal replacement. High in protein, but beware of the high sugar content.

My teen son is trying to gain muscle so has to keep up his calories, and also needs food and energy after school but before practice. He takes one in his backpack everyday. They are large bars, and imo the best tasting protein bar on the market.

These MET-Rx protein bars are SO GOOD. The crispy apple pie flavor is my favorite, although the other flavors I have tried are very good as well (especially the caramel churro). I really can't recommend these enough. They make a great replacement meal (for me, breakfast) every day, but you could definitely eat one as a snack between meals - it will fill you up, but seems to digest quickly (at least for me, everyone's different), but that's a good thing as I can have my protein shake just a couple hours later. These bars are high in calories which are great if you're bulking or maintaining. I probably wouldn't recommend them during a cutting phase, although if you know what you're doing with your nutrition I suppose you could make it work. These are my go-to for protein bars and I will settle for nothing else!

The absolute best protein bar I have ever had. I can only eat half of one because they are so much bigger. Not dry or grainy like the others.
