Simple Caramel Peanut

I discovered this protein bar while at an airport on the east coast. Since I didn't have time to eat a regular meal before connecting with my second flight, I grabbed this bar from the shelf and ate it on the plane. When I got back home on the west coast, I couldn't find this particular brand locally and, since I had enjoyed the taste and high protein count, I looked it up on Amazon and was able to purchase it there. I find it a great and quick meal replacement with a glass of soy milk for those times when I am on the run. to me, it tastes better than most protein bars I have tried in the past.

I have purchased these bars several times. The are pretty good, difficulty is getting them shipped in the summer time. I've ordered them twice in the summer and the bars melt and the caramel substances leaks inside the individual packages. This doesn't make them uneatable its just messy and you have to eat them out of the wrapper so you don't get caramel all over you hands. Just my observation. Again, good bar just had bad experience with getting them shipped in summer time.

I mostly got these as a snack for after light cardio workouts. I typically do a protein shake for anything heavier. I liked that they are pretty low calorie and sugar content while still having a decent amount of fiber. The taste isn't anything special. It tastes like a generic protein bar but every few bites you do get a peanut which gives it a nice crunch. I would assume the 2.1 ounce bars would taste better because it would be a better ratio of chocolate to caramel/peanut. I want to mention that sometimes a few of the bars are a bit squished and the caramel is all over the inside of the package. Still tastes fine but might leave your fingers sticky. I also had one bar in my 3 boxes that was flattened with practically no filling. Quality control might not be perfect or I'm just unlucky. Ultimately its hard to find a protein bar with this balance of calories, sugar, and fiber so I'm fine paying a little over $1 per bar. Although that seems a bit higher than similar sized bards. I reordered so I definitely recommend them.

These are the best out there as far as taste is concerned, in my opinion. No chalky taste at all. I'm sure that a few nutritionists/health nerds will stomp me for this review, trying to push whatever other product he/she is selling or promoting at their place of business or practice. But, from an unbiased person, I love these. High protein to calorie ratio and best tasting on the market. I've tried and enjoyed: Quest protein bars, Zone, thinkThin, Special K, Pure Protein, and several others. But Detour's bars are great and better tasting. The oatmeal bars are great as well if you want something for a breakfast replacement on the go occasionally. Linked below: Detour Smart Nutrition Bars, Apple Cinnamon, 1.3 oz., 9 Count These bars are definitely 5 stars. As are the Chocolate Chip Caramel 10g bars.

Thank you thank you thank you for making a small sized bar with protein and low sugar this is actually edible! I usually eat "kids" bars to get the calorie range that I want (100-150 calories) but those are high in sugar to make them taste better. Are these the best tasting bars? No, I get a strong stevia flavor so that could be improved. But they are exactly what I need and I put them on auto ship to make sure I don't run out.

While these bars are my FAVORITE, the batch tasted old and the caramel came right off the bar. Typically these have a far superior taste to other bars out there.

Holy moly these are good! Such a great flavor, just like the rest of their bars, no real aftertaste. I love the Carmel and peanuts and it has a nice mouth feel...like I’m eating a candy bar. These will be special occasion treats for sure. Love them! Wish they were bigger is the only issue I would have but hey, for 120 calories, I can’t complain!

I have mixed feelings about these protein bars. They taste amazing - like a candy bar! But they have inulin in them and that stuff is equal to eating a bowl full of broccoli and beans... if you know what I mean! It’s terrible! I can’t eat them anymore because of it.. bummer!
