If you follow me on instagram you might know that I am a PowerCrunch lover. A light, crisp, wafer-y thing of a protein bar is delightful. However, the protein content isn’t as high as I’d prefer and the fast content is a little higher than I prefer.

So I embarked on quest of trying a few other protein bars. Here are my thoughts on their macros and deliciousness.

For taste scoring purposes, I am going to use Power Crunch as a 10 out of 10.

Oh Yeah One – Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Macros

• Calories: 210
• Protein: 21 grams
• Fat: 8 grams
• Carb: 24 grams

These macros are pretty dang good. I like my protein bars to have at least 18 grams of protein and less than 10 grams of fat. I give this an 7.5 out of 10. Better texture than a Quest bar and would definitely buy again, but didn’t completely blow my socks off.

Quest Hero – Vanilla Caramel

Macros

• Calories: 180
• Protein: 16 grams
• Fat: 9 grams
• Carb: 29 grams

A little lower protein than the Oh Yeah One bar, but I like that it is under 200 calories. It was caramel-y and crunchy and overall a hit. Definitely would buy again and throw it in the microwave for a few seconds 🙂 9 out of 10.

Oh Yeah One – Birthday Cake

Macros 

• Calories: 220
• Protein: 21 grams
• Fat: 7 grams
• Carbs: 24 grams

My favorite of these four bars! The outside coating was delicious and I loved the little sprinkles on top. Also a bonus that this is pretty low in carbs for a protein bar and still tasted more like a candy bar. 9 out of 10.

Optimum Nutrition – Cake Bites

Macros (3 cake bites)

• Calories: 240
• Protein: 20 grams
• Fat: 7 grams
• Carbs: 25 grams

I hate to report, but I did not love these at all. They couldn’t even be redeemed by the sprinkles for me and I wouldn’t buy them again. I even split them with my fiance and then let him finish them off, because it just didn’t do it for me. However, he did like them quite a bit so it could be worth a try because those macros are for all 3 bites! I have to give them a 4 out of 10. Maybe a 3 if I’m being honest.

Taste Winner: Oh Yeah One – Birthday Cake

Texture Winner: Quest Hero – Vanilla Caramel

Macro Winner: Tie – They are all so close across the board, so it would really just depend if you needed a lower calorie bar (go with Quest) or if you need more help with protein (Oh Yeah One)
