Brownie-ish protein bar; Nutrition facts; Freshness date
"Tactical" supplies have become big business, and this product's name ("field bar") and story position it well for that. But like most consumer tactical supplies, they're for ordinary use, not only for when the commies come to get us.<br /><br />These are more crumbly and drier than a brownie typically is. Not the kind of thing that would be considered a success for a brownie, but for a protein bar it's not bad.<br /><br />The taste is sweet with mild but distinct flavors. The Chocolate PB Blondie has bits of coconut in it for a nice addition to the taste and texture. The Chocolate Cereal Crunch does have some added crunch from ground-up Rice Krispies-style cereal, though the effect is more subtle than I expected.<br /><br />There's very little of the usual bitter protein concentrate taste, don't notice it unless I focus on it.<br /><br />15-16g protein, from soy, is comparable to other protein bars.<br /><br />The sugar content is also typical for a protein bar, 16-17g per 60g bar (26-28% by weight), about half what's in a candy bar.<br /><br />Total carbs are 21-23g (35-38%), with 3g fiber (5%).<br /><br />The blondie has 260 calories and 16g fat (26%). The crunch has 240 calories and 10g fat (17%).<br /><br />The freshness date on mine is January 21, 2021.<br /><br />Full ingredients and nutritional info are given in the photos at the upper left of the main product page.
