I have been eating the Lean Body Gold Bar from Labrada for awhile now, and must admit that the taste is sensational. The bars are triple layered and add to the unique flavor. The Caramel Cookie Twist and Caramel Peanut are like eating a candy bar without all of the sugar, fat, and carbohydrates. These are great protein bars with 30 grams of Lean Pro protein in each bar!
Most high protein bars I have tasted in the past are like eating an eraser filled with chalk. Most of the time, the bars are hard to choke down. Not Lean Body Gold Bar. Labrada has even improved on the taste, which is hard to believe. There is now more nuts and more crisps buried in each bar.
I have eaten my bars at all hours of the day and fine the convenience of protein bars an added bonus. As you know, when at work, things have to be convenient. I enjoy keeping my bars in my desk drawer or the office refrigerator, and consuming around the mid-morning snack time or mid-afternoon snack time. I have been known to eat one in the car for breakfast, but I don’t recommend this if you are working out intensely. Breakfast should contain more calories. If you want a protein bar for breakfast, do so, but then add another snack like fruit or even a protein shake for added protein levels.
The Lean Body Gold Bar contains approximately 330 calories per serving, 7 grams of fat, 36 grams of carbohydrates, and 2 grams of dietary fiber. These protein bars really are a meal in themselves. Since the bars have a high protein level, they are a great resource for pre and post workouts. Since protein is needed in building your muscle mass and ultimately to lose weight, I enjoy the bars more for what they do for me than just the taste. My main goal is to shed off a few extra pounds and not lose any muscle. In order to do this, I must replenish my body with protein immediately following an intense workout. The more muscle mass I have the more calories I will burn – and that is my ultimate goal.
Vitamins are also essential in your overall health and fitness which is also why I prefer Labrada over other leading brands of high protein bars. The team at Labrada prides themselves in producing high quality bars with essential vitamins, like potassium. Each Lean Body Gold Bar is packed with 90 mg of potassium. Personally, I like getting my vitamins from something a little more restricted and confined than a random meal. I like to know what I am putting into my body and I want to maintain that control.
The price is very competitive, especially for the taste. You won’t find another triple layer bar out there that tastes this good. You can even buy the bars by the box and there are 12 bars per case. I find that when buying by the case it is more cost effective. I highly recommend these bars to anyone looking for a great source of protein without extra fat and poor quality. Labrada Lean Body Gold Bar is a perfect snack or meal replacement.
