Protein Bars 
Energy Bar Reviews and Comparison
product review by popularfitness.com


The trend these days is to produce a great tasting and nutritious high energy bar. 
They're ideal before a workout, for people with busy lifestyles or as a candy bar substitute.

This review will focus on 3 chocolate energy bars.

Detour Energy Bars do not taste nor look like your regular protein bars. 
It contains Designer Whey and is loaded with real roasted peanuts, 
filled with caramel and smothered in rich chocolate.
A candy-bar taste without the fat of the normal chocolate bar. 
Not only is it great tasting, but it is healthy and nutritious for you.

So far I've tried Detour, U-Turn and most recently OneWay. 
Judging by taste, protein and nutritious content, my favorite by far has to be the Detour bar, 
followed by OneWay and U-Turn.
 
So instead of grabbing for a chocolate bar to satisfy your chocolate craving, 
why not try the Detour bar?
