Steady Energy Bars, Real Chocolate (Box of 15)

Ok - I've been a swimmer for almost half my life from age 7-21. I Have used power bar and a load of other bars after they came out. With that being said I have tried a lot of those bars and have tested their effectiveness in a practice and competitive scenario. I no longer swim and do Jiu-jitsu now several times per week. I noticed using lots of other bars there really would be a high n crash where at the beginning of class Id be more revved up and about 45 min or so into class id be not just tired but worn out and feeling that rigamortis type lactic acid solidifying my body and going into defense/recovery mode. After trying Hooah over powerbar, various energy bars and even a few protein bars, I can honestly say that it really does not let up and it doesnt make me feel like im on a high, just ready to go... no stopping.I must say that Hooah 30 min before training and Gatorade during training is REALLY a boost (as opposed to hooah and water) but Ive done energy bars and water and Gatorade with other energy bars and all permutations of other items but honestly Hooah has been working. Im not associated with them nor am I with the armed forces. Im am an athlete that is so darn impressed with this stuff that I was actually on Amazon to see if it caught on more and maybe the prices were going down cuz of people buying in bulk... I love this stuff. OH.... the taste... that really is the best of ANY bar out there too including odwalla or any other supposedly good tasting nourishing food bar. :) Good stuff.

So, my idea with these are, if you MIGHT need a energy boost, mid week, and you are a relatively healthy person, using one of these won't harm you a dang bit.But if you're trying to use these day in and day out then you're setting yourself up for health problems!I can honestly say that when I eat an entire bar, in under 10 mins, I've got a good 5-6 hours of energy that the bar gives me...and it's hard to see where it stops working.I nibbled on one in the course of 2 hours today and actually had a good amount of steady energy ALL day long, from 3pm(when I started on it) until well, it's 12 am and I am not as tired as I was yesterday at 10pm!I can't say that everyone would love the taste, or texture, I don't mind them though because I know I'll get that boost I need. I can't STAND other "energy bars"- they're pure JUNK compared to this-This works for ME.I love them :)

I randomly encountered this energy bar when I bought some rare Ghanaian highlife CD, and noticed this under "customers who bought this product also bought...HOOAH!" I almost fell on the floor from laughing so hard.Then i got serious. I'm an energy bar afficionado- since I play soccer first thing in the morning, I need to cram in some quick carbs. But I can't risk eating a proper meal, which might make me throw up after sprinting down the field.This bar tastes fantastic, and I can attest to the energy kick- I got through *two* games and almost scored a goal! And I have absolutely no eye-foot coordination!!!From the label: "The battle cry 'Hooah!" is a cornerstone of military culture. It communicates energy, affirmation, can-do spirit, teamwork, and fearlessness. Soldiers shout it as they jump out of helicopters, storm beaches, and freefall behind enemy lines. It means anything and everything except no."My only hope is that more people eat this so the price comes down.

I was looking for an energy bar with more protein than the regular Clifbar varieties.It came down to the Clif Builders bar and this one.This bar is very similar in texture to a Powerbar, which is to say it has that weird, glossy-oily uniform texture throughout with no layering or chocolate coating like the Clif Builder.The flavor is okay, not great. And certainly NOT anywhere near a "gourmet dessert" as quoted by Dr. Phil on the packaging.I really don't now how anyone could come up with that statement other than having a lucrative endorsement deal.Speaking of quotes, I'd really like to know how this came out "#1 in taste tests". #1 compared to what?On the other hand, that weird texture and lack of chocolate coating would make these ideal in high temperature situations where the Clif Builder would certainly become quite a messy undertaking. You could carry around some Hooah bars in your pants pocket without worry. If that's your application, maybe these would work for you.In terms of value, since my application is occasional meal replacement I'd much rather spend a little more and have a Clif Builder to look forward to than a Hooah bar.In my opinion the Clif Builder is by far the best tasting, best textured bar of it's type and has the most protein.It's more expensive but it really does taste great. Just don't keep them in your pocket!

This is a great product to carry in your jackets' pockets in case you have to miss a meal. One of these and one Quest bar make a handy, quick and nutritious meal substitute. It's great for prepper BO briefcases, BOBs, cars' glove boxes, women's purses with a 3 year shelf life. The chocolate flavor is great, but I wish they'd reintroduce their "Real Peanut Butter" (and introduce other flavors) because you get tired of any flavor if you eat it enough (like in a survival/emergency situation). After all, "variety is the spice of life!"

If you already know what these are... there's no substitute! If you don't, I'd encourage you to try them because they definitely grow on you! Great flavor, pretty reliable energy, and good quality!
