 Ladies and gentlemen, Salah Mike, Abby Lu. And we're here with the official world's final say. There's no argument, protein bar, tier list. You can go watch another video with all your internet supplement-sponsored shills. But we're the official. We have no relation to any of these folks and we're gonna give it to you raw. Ooh, baby, I like it raw. Yeah, so we're gonna go by taste and a very little bit of nutrition on the side. Something's ridiculously out of the range of nutrition. We'll mention it. But otherwise, we're mostly going by taste. Let's get started. Hit them, Abby, where are we starting? This one. What is this? No cow, dipped. As Abby mentioned, it is on sale. And that is a little bit of a red flag, but I'm gonna go into this blind and open-hearted and open-minded. Oh, what are macros? It's actually not stiff. I thought it was gonna be really hard to break. What are our macros? Orange decals, seven fat, 26 carbs, and 20 protein. Again, pretty standard protein bar by nowadays. Smells like a routine bar. What's our flavor? Oh, it's so dry. We're dry, our powdery chocolate peanut butter. I'd say sugar alcohol, and that's it. I got mine on the count of three, ready? Oh, five. Ready? One, two, three, am I eating chalk? But, oh. Good but. You gave it a good but? Yeah, I was there too, am I eating chalk, but then it's like, it's not that bad. So I've lived through the years of protein bar hell, and I came out alive. And so now I just hold a higher standard of what my protein bar is. So I think if you give me that 10 years ago even, I would say it's above average, 10 years ago. I'm gonna change it to am I eating chalk? Okay, we're going chalk. All right, dumper in the chalk. Dumper in the chalk, what's our next one? All right, let's go to the fit snack. Another one that's on sale. Is it? Oh, that is a bad sign. Yeah, it's a bad sign. I know the texture, I could feel it through the bar. So it does have that crunch action going on. Yeah, we should do a close up, huh? Oh God, oh God, oh God. So some of them have tried to do this texture. I know we have a couple more like that where it's like the waffle crisps surrounded by some kind of white stuffs and the chocolate. What's our macros? The macros are right in the pocket. Okay, 190 calories. A little bit less. So eight fat, 17 carbs, 16 proteins. All right, so about the same. Like I said, we're kind of in this range of everything. Oh God, I think it's a fail. A lot of you just got no taste, man. Okay, I don't know if we can judge it properly because I feel like it just went bad. I don't think it went bad. So I think the issue with this list is we don't have anything that's just like not good. Like shouldn't even be a protein bar in my head? Are we considering that anything? Because in my head that means macros. Right. That's just the F tier. So I'm probably putting this there. Yeah, no, the crisp part too. It's not even like crispy. It's chewy. That's what I mean. It's like so stale. It's not like rice, crispy, chewy either though. Cause like rice, crispy, chewy, yummy. How they not made a rice, crispy protein bar? That would hit. Yeah. You can do it too. I don't even know. You can do it. I can do it. This one. One bar. One bar. One bars are really good. One bars are pretty popular. I feel like something on their branding, I feel like they made like the holistic look. Like it looks healthy. Yeah. Where old school protein bars, you know, look like muscle, like lice. Oh, okay. Short and flat. This is a chocolate peanut butter one. Macros are about the same as everything else I think. Well, 230. So it's on the higher side for calories. 20 grams of protein, nine fat, 24 carb. Yeah. But we got chocolate protein. There's peanut pizzas in here. What'd you say? Are you paid by them? No. Oh, wait, wait. There's chocolate peanut butter? Texture, I would say, is better than the rest so far. But still very old school protein bar. Like it tastes like, like my ideal protein bar is that it just tastes good. I don't want to bite it with a blindfold and be like, oh yeah, that's a protein bar. Right? Because no one wants a protein bar. It's hard to do that. It's very hard to do that. But we want something yummy, right? That tastes like that has protein in it. That's what a protein bar is to me. It's a yummy bar that has protein macros. All these bars, there's a kind of lack of flavor. They're all kind of bland. And it's still the highest amount of calories so far. 230? I'm probably giving it a good but. All right, I'm taking Abbey Down Memory Lane, the metrics bar. There's an apple crisp one that bangs. That sounds good. But this one isn't my favorite, the super cookie. There used to be one that was like a fudge cream deal so it has this cream layer and it was more fudgy. But this one's solid. This does lean more towards like a meal replacement bar. This is huge. So we got 410 calories, 13 fat, 40 carb and like 30 protein. Look at the size comparison there. But it's almost more by size, probably than like macro density, right? Because they're literally, it's literally double, twice as long and thicker than the other ones. All out of 10 calories, it's a whole meal or something. Yeah, this is a huge two inch bar. We got this frosting, it's obviously dense because it's probably got protein in it. But at least we have a mini chocolate layer going and then kind of a hard crisp like inside. Pretty good, right? It's definitely, it's like an old school formula. So you can kind of taste like, I have an extremely talented palette, so try to keep up. I taste cinnamon. So there's a little bit of cinnamon, but you can almost taste the cold because of the sugar alcohol. I can taste a little cold on my tongue. Cold? Cold. What does that mean? Sugar alcohol. You know, alcohol like evaporates and it's like kind of cold or like gum sometimes cold. What is he talking about? I'm right, huh? I don't know what you're talking about, but any taste of cinnamon, chocolate's good. The crunch, the crisp in there is good. And the frosting's good. It's like a good chewy to add to the crunch. What are you giving it? Really? What are you doing? About average. I'm down with it. I'm down with above average. But I'd probably give it, yeah, I'd probably give it, it does the job for now. It doesn't scream protein bar to me, you know? That's true? Which is a good thing. Yeah, it's not, yeah. The textures are a little, you know, on their own. I'm down with it. I'm down with above average. I'm down. A quest bar. Okay. The new and improved quest bar. I heard they've been changing formulas around. They have both. All right, we got both. So we have the quest hero, which I've just heard, I've never actually tried this one. I've heard word on the street the quest hero's it. 15 grams of protein. A little low. Kind of looks like a turd. Oops. 190 calus. A fat 29 car 15 protein. So yeah, a little low on the protein, but again, kind of in the pocket. This one, a lot of people seem to be going with that crispy wafer shit. I wonder why that is. We're back. Maybe back in the day it used to be more of the dense, fudgy stuff. Any texture and then calorically is not as bad. I actually taste like chocolate. We got some flavor going on. What's the flavor? Chocolate caramel pecan. That's a little more normal, I guess. I would agree. So like you get the initial, right? And then you get like the chewiness and then you get an aftertaste. The aftertaste is actually good, which is typically the worst part of a protein bar, right? Aftertaste normally lingers. Yeah, it is a little bit closer to Rice Krispies for sure. The Krispies actually tastes crispy. It's pretty sweet. I think it's the sweetest one so far. A lot of the other ones were really flavorless, huh? And I haven't eaten all morning. Do you eat? No. So clean pallets. That one's pretty good. I might go, we can't throw a God tier. I would definitely put a above average. A above average for sure. God tier, we'll see, I guess. I don't know if it's fair to change things as we move because like if the rest of them are trash, that's a God's tier. But as of right now, it's definitely above average. None of these am I choosing to snack on. Another course. We're going on the quest kick. The quest, frosted cookie. 11 protein, not a lot going on. 13 fat, 18 carb. This is obviously trying to be a cookie. And so it's kind of taking the spot of a hostess, I guess. Right? This is like a host, you know, hostess? Yeah. This is like a hostess deal, right? Yeah, it was like a piece of cardboard on the bottom. Yeah, very hostessy. Okay. It smells like a cookie. I ripped it, oh, it smells like a cookie. It smells like those gas station donuts you get. This is good. It has that waxy chocolate that like those gas station donuts have. It tastes very similar. That's pretty good. That kind of tastes like a donut from a gassy. And I know that sounds like a low standard, but those things are okay. Man, I almost wish there was a deal in between God tier and above average. Cause there should be, right? There should be like a good. Like that's good. Again, I'm not throwing a God tier. So what we do too, Abby, is we can throw within. So if we agree this is above average and not God tier, then the order of God's or above average matters. So I would put this first in the above average. Okay. Does that make sense? Like it's better than the other two, but I don't know if it's God tier. God tier, you know what I mean? You gotta earn your rights around here. Right. You can't just be called God for no reason. Everyone's calling everyone the goat. Everyone's saying everything's God tier and goaded. Have some standards on the internet. Have some fucking standards. Double chocolate chunk, 20 grams protein. You said you've never really had a regular quest. I really know. 170 cows. Yup. 7 fat 24 carbs. And a bunch of fiber. Yeah, very standard. I feel like they made the standard of that macro breakdown and everyone tried to match it. Cause before that it was more like that metrics bar. They're so high. This is what I'm more familiar with. Oh, they got real chocolate chunks. Yeah. So quest bar also, because they blew up, man. Like we worked with them back in the day, like 2012. They blew up and they made a good bar. But then I feel like they went through different recipes. So every once in a while, the word on the shoe would be like, man, quest recipes not good right now. Or man, they just revamped it. It's really good right now. So I wonder where we're sitting. More recently, I've heard that quest is back back in the game. 170 is pretty good for a big bar. This is one of those OG protein bars. Like that, have you had the Costco protein bar? No, but I don't know what you mean, like the texture. The texture is that like, what do you call this? A Play-Doh-E? Play-Doh. Yeah. And it's like a whisper or a chocolate. It kind of tastes like a chocolate LaCroix. It's a little chalky. A little bit. Does the job? I want to say it does a job, but I think it's like not that high. Damn, down there by the one. I can put it by the one. The one and them are in my head. Previous to today. We're very similar. It's good, but. Yeah. Good, but. Good, but. Or dark horse. Oh, let's do it. So we found a Cinnamon Toast Crunch protein bar. Now I've seen cereal bars that are just like 30 carb and nothing else. This one has nine fat, 22 carb, 20 protein. Oh, textured yeast. All right. So basically we got a cinnamon looking frosting. This is kind of actually like the metrics bar. It's kind of pretty. No, it's like the metrics bar. So we have a light cream with a caramel drizzle up top. With crumbs on the top of it. Yeah. Yeah. This is fancy. This is Gore May. General Mills, the GM knows how to do it, bro. And then we got a dipped in caramel underneath. Oh, very, very cinnamon-y. That screams flavor. I'm on a roller coaster ride of flavor right now. Oh, and then it gets too sweet. There's a, it's cold. Don't you feel the cold? I bet you there's sugar alcohol, dude. Oh, definitely. I taste the sugar alcohol. That's the cold. It's like, oh, my tongue. Little ice fairies are dancing on my tongue. For me, it's like an aftertaste thing. Yeah. That's really sweet. That's really sweet. The frosting is too sweet. How did you do that to your protein? How many calories is in this? 200 or something? 220? I don't know if it's heading to God tier because it's still got some weird taste going on. I might throw that up in there. Is it above average? It's either like lowest tier God tier or top tier above average for me. Above the quest cookie? I think so. That was almost a little too bland. And if I take in for the bonus points, the macros. Okay. I would say if you have to eat a protein bar, you want something like to indulge in, that's a good one. Right, yeah. Macros are pretty good. Yeah, if you're actually dieting and you're just eating dry ass chicken all day, you need sweet, that'll hit you. I agree that it's probably too sweet and the flavors still aren't very distinct. It's like a fake cinnamon taste. It's not a real cinnamon taste. But it has real flavor. Well, a lot of these ain't flavored up. It's more filling. I think the cookie is probably not gonna be as light and you get two pieces. In the macros, we're just kind of whole bars. All right, I'm done with whatever you want. Above average. Top above average? Yeah. Probably the top of above average for our cereal friend. I've heard good things, dude. Legendary foods, cinnamon roll. I've never seen something like this before. I've heard good things of legendary. I think they're on the come up. I tried their strawberry pop tart. I put on my Instagram story and everyone says the cinnamon rolls bang. That's why I got a chocolate one. Same company. Everyone says it's good and I'm trying to go in unbiased and obviously we're tasting these all back to back. That looks real. You're the cinnamon bun queen. Yeah, I made some. Okay, I made everyone. Let's see. 200 calories, 10 fat, 22 carb, 20 protein. I got no cinnamon. I'm skipping that one. Again, very basic. That one's got no cinnamon. No one needs to eat that. Density is pretty good. The frosting feels plasticky, but... Not what I expected, but don't hate it. I like it. I like it too. Yeah. Maybe it's unfair because they just said like protein bar and flip the game and went a whole different route. But for me, the macros are so similar to these other bars. Why wouldn't you experiment with a whole new texture? That texture is like a... It is similar to cinnamon roll. Like the chewiness. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Where protein bars, the texture is always gonna be gross. Yeah, this is good. That's pretty good. That surprised me. I'm gonna eat the one without cinnamon. I could have that for breakfast. Warm it up. Again, it ain't a cinnamon roll from what's the store in the malls. Cinnamon. Yeah, it ain't cinnamon, but it's pretty good. It's good. Is it worthy of God's here? I might say yeah. I think so. I might say yeah. I think it might be the first one to have earned it. So legendary foods won Abby's heart over. I got it. Oh, they didn't have the cinnamon roll? They only had Pop-Tart. All right, so we added the cinnamon roll to the list and now we're going straight Pop-Tart. Look at that. Look at the macros. Oh! What? Real hard. 180, so it's lower than most. 180 calories, eight fat, 24 carb and 20 protein. That's pretty good. Yeah, it's very doughy, very pillowy. Almost two pillowy. Two pillowy. Yeah, I think it's two pillowy for a Pop-Tart. It's more pillowy. I forget it's a Pop-Tart. Yeah, it's more pillowy than the cinnamon roll. Yeah, but it's a better texture for a protein bar. Very typical chocolate flavor. It's more like you're eating something that was actually baked. Yeah. Versus like, what is it called? Synthetic. Yeah, they taste like clay, right? Like every protein bar's texture feels like. Gummi? Yeah, wet gummy clay in your mouth. And then, or chalky and dry. Yeah. It's not my favorite. I might still have my throat above average. Really? It might be above average. I don't know if it's allowed to be said because I wanted to be as neutral as I can, but like this is like the average protein bar to me. Okay. I don't know if you've had that, but I've had this for years. We'll try that next. Yeah, and this is like the average protein bar. Not great, not bad, reliable, decent macros, tastes solid, a low key confession. I really like mint chip ice cream and sometimes I feel judged for that. I feel like it's a popular thing. I, it's like we hate it because I don't hate it, but mint tastes like it reminds me of toothpicks. Right. So I get that. Smell that. It smells, I could smell it from here. Smells like those Andes mints you get at a wannabe classy restaurant. Yeah, so it's just what covered in chocolate and then you have two layers inside. Yeah, we got like a proteiny fudgy and a crispy. They tried to do both on this side. The crispy, yeah. Yeah. I can't even. You know what? This low key tastes like the shit version. Girl scout, thin mints. Oh no, she hates it. You've had it. It's good. It's good. It's good. The chocolate is better than that Pop-Tart thing. True. The flavors are really good on that, actually the mint one. I'll let you judge that one because this one's like my go-to protein bar. We could put it a bottom of above average Yeah, I agree. I would say it does the job just cause it's a lonely category. Next we got a built bar which I've actually heard good things about and I've never tried. Built I think started as like an amino acid or something. No way. 130 calories. Wow. Too fat. That's good. 17 protein, 18 carb. So by stats, this is by far the best. I've never, I didn't know it was that low in protein. Okay, we'll see if it's worth it. Oh no. That shit, chewy dog. Oh, I can't rip it. You can't? No, I can't. Look, it's growing. Twist it. I twisted it. That's great. So this whole innards, oh no. People, I swear someone told me this was good. It smells. It looks like ear wax. Like the worst kind of fake chocolate we're talking about. Maybe we shouldn't smell it. Oh, what is that smell? It's not good. Just till like chocolate. No, there is a smell and I can't describe it that good, but it's not good. Definitely fake. Am I supposed to eat this? Yeah, I don't really want it. The texture is extremely chewy, but you know, you like rip apart like a cheesy deal. Or you rip apart like a good caramel bar and there's something good happening. This is not it. All right, cheers, dude. Did you even take a bite? What is that texture? I can't chew this. It's very fake sugar. We need a spit bucket. What is that? It tastes like plastic. But that caramel chewy. Oh, that's worse. It got slimy once my saliva touched it. Keep chewing, it gets worse. You know what I mean? The flavor's bad. No, that was not good. I mean, I'd eat it. No. If I'm desperate at an expo, I've eaten some crazy shit, you know? Sometimes you gotta put some crazy shit in your mouth in desperate times. How desperate could you possibly be? I'm real hungry. I've been grinding 10 hours in a booth, you know? It's not good. It shouldn't be called a protein bar. No. But the stats are so good. That's why, because they sacrifice all the flavor. What is this? Built. I'm sorry, built. You should rethink what we're doing. No, you should rethink everything. I swear, somebody told me that's good. Oh my God, I've never- Salted caramel. Because this, which we'll go to next, to cleanse my fucking palate, this salted protein bar, the caramel cashew, Bear Bell, I already know, is the greatest protein bar of all time. Unless one of these come out of nowhere, but just by this label, I'm telling you, this one's not coming. This is the best protein bar. And I've never eaten it in this sense. So extra chewy, which you don't expect. There's like literal caramel on it. Once you rip the top, there's caramel underneath the shell, like a tiny amount, but kind of like three musketeers? Who's got that? Milky Way, like a very, this is, the texture of this is like a very off ratio Milky Way. Is like a Nugget kind of- There's a baby Nugget, a lot of minimal amount of caramel, and then yeah, like the regular shit. It's only hard to break because it was in the fridge. That's true. Bear Bell's good. Not overpowering. Creamy. Creamy, but chewy in a good way. You don't get a lot of creamy. If you want to get through a protein bar, it needs to be a little more neutral. A balance, yeah. Yeah, and that one just doesn't so good. The aftertaste is a hair chalky. It is a protein bar. We didn't read the macros. They are good. 200 calorie, eight fat, 18 carb, with three fiber and 20 protein. So this actually has the best macros, the more protein than carbs. And 200 calories is pretty standard. The caramel's good too. The caramel's legitimate. It might be like real caramel. You know, it's not all crazy waxy. That might be God's here for me, based on this list. Pure protein is like an OG. I feel like they're an OG because they try to take the meat head protein bar and then they label it kind of mom style, you know? Like you can see this in like a soccer mom's thing. Reminds me of Costco, because I think it's the Costco one. 180, a little good macros actually. 180 calories, four fat, 17 carb, 21 protein. This is gonna be bad, dude. I don't feel good. I gotta do a fat workout after this too. This is a- Texture's insanely typical. Looks chalky. Bare bones, fudged, frosting. Oh, you got a chocolate chip. You stole mine. I got a hole in mine. Here's the one who broke it, my chocolate chip. Yeah, this is like a brick. Very chalky, like all the way through with some chocolate chips. But these chocolate chips might be fake, you know? There's no way that's good. It's okay. I'm out. Actually, the chocolate for that world is pretty good. It's good. No, if you got chocolate chunks in it. I definitely just judged the book by the cover. I apologize. It might be the best chocolate flavoring so far. Wait, this is like three chocolate chips in it. I can't. Oh, I got a tummy ache. Oh my God. It's gonna be the best piece. I'm gonna throw up. I'm gonna throw up. Hates me. Texture is wet, chewy, and chalky at the same time. What are you thinking? Didn't know that could happen. It does the job. You think it's that good? The chocolate itself is. That's what I mean. But the texture is wild. I don't think it's the worst texture. I think if you're used to the quest, the old quest bar, the Kirkland protein bar, like that chewiness, it's kind of pretty similar. Aftertaste isn't hot. I'll give it that. I would say for me, it would be the high, yeah, I'm down with it, does the job. Good bet. But I think it's below my builder. Oh, it's true, yeah, yeah, yeah, true. But it could be it does the job below that. The macros are really good. That's like chicken breast macros. Okay, so I think it puts it up there, below the builders. I'd be down with that. I'm down with that. All right, I was trying to get us Power Crunch. Have you had Power Crunch? Yeah. Power Crunch is one of my favorites, actually. It's more of a wafer bar. Again, like, all right, everyone knows their protein bar is how can we make it better or different? And that's why I think that cinnamon roll made it so high on our list. I was at the store and trying to get the Power Crunch, I couldn't find it, but they said this optimum nutrition is a similar wafer. It's a protein wafer. It's big. Yeah, it's really big. It's thick and big. Okay. It's 210 calories, 10 fat, 14 carb, 15 protein. Oh, it's pretty. Oh, it's two pieces. I think it's split into two pieces. Wow. That's pretty good, right? That looks, I mean, yeah. To the eye, that's crazy. It tastes like, it smells like cardboard. Oh, I love cardboard. Give me. It's hard to rip it apart. Airy protein snack wafer. Does it even have a flavor? Wait, that's good. Chocolate creme, no way. You did it. Y'all ever ate those cookies? What? There's a wafer cookie that's just like that. Are wafers cookies? It's not too flavorful. So yeah, if it's a protein bar, macros or whatever. Hit me, what you think it is? No, it's good. I need a drink, dude. Thank you. My stomach hurts. Above average. I'm down with above average. I might even put it above the metrics bar for taste. That cinnamon roll just slaps them though, right? I've heard of these. It's a brownie. Eat me. Guilt-free protein brownie. Are they going sexual with it? Chocolate. It's up to you. No, for sure. Oh, the icon or whatever is like lips and bite. It's like the bite, the lip emote. And it says eat me. Okay, wait, 186 calories. I've never seen that before. That's accurate, because most people round up. You can round up in this game. 10 fat, 10 carb, 14 protein. That's where you guys don't know, but if your macros don't match your calories on your labels because the FDA allows them to round up. That looks like a brownie. It looks like a whole ass brownie. That looks like a whole ass brownie. Is there a layer on top? Eat me. There's like a chocolate layer on top. Eat me. Texture looks pretty good. Eat me. All right, last piece. Oh, texture's a brownie. Yeah. Texture is a brownie. A little foamy maybe? Like spongy? Yeah, spongy, spongy. A little spongy maybe, but that's a brownie dog. All right, I don't know dude. Uh-oh, okay. A little crumbly and a little bit of fake chocolate going on. It tastes like a chocolate cake. It tastes more cakey than brownie because of the texture. It's a little dry in the back of my throat. A little dry. Where are you putting it though? Above average? Yeah. It might be above the metrics for me. I mean, it's up to you though. Yeah. I think if you dress it up, it could probably sneak its way into God tier. Yeah, you could put it on a plate. If you dressed it up. Yeah. We did the best we could, but hopefully we give you guys a good idea and honest review of the tier list. Comment below some of your favorite protein bars. Be sure to follow Avi, avi.lu on Instagram.
