This Should Be Illegal! I Review Protein Bars VS The Real Thing

- I review protein bars vs the real thing! we have seen huge companies like Oreo, nutter butter, fruity pebbles, and Cinnabon do protein flavor collaborations with supplement companies and now it is happening with protein bars. Today I try out some some protein bars made by companies like snickers, cinnamon toast crunch, moon pie and more to see if they are actually worth buying over the real thing!

Please more of these! I love watching these types of high protein food tasting videos since there are barely any in my country 😢
Yessss will do👌
Agreed. I struggle getting my protein in. Not a big meat eater and allergic to eggs (can have things with eggs as ingredients though, which is weird), so I loves ideas on to get a little more protein. Plus, getting the taste test is great so I know not to waste my money on.
“I don’t know what their deal is with cream pies” 😆
Fr though they need to chillll
Am I the only one who thought that was a toilet seat on the table behind him?! LOL
Lmaoo apparently not I never thought of it Ike that😂
🤣@@JoeySuggs
😂🤣😂🤣😂‼️
I’ve never felt as betrayed when I tried the Snickers protein bar.
Absolute facts… sad
I almost threw up eating it
Moon Pie is always best when warm, takes away the dryness!! Great video Joey on the comparisons!!
Yeah but wouldn’t the chocolate melt?!
I like mine dry af
-
@JoeySuggs it gets a little messier, a fork is a good idea but it doesn't just melt straight off
Where did you find the cinnamon toast crunch, I MUST HAVE IT
Loved this! Maybe you could do smth similar, where you try out different energy drinks/protein powders? Or just some other protein foods? Maybe we could get another "What to buy at xx" video? I love watching you go around American Supermarkets because they differ SO MUCH from the supermarkets in Europe/Denmark! Another great video, Joey! 🔥
Yesss definitely will do👌
Great video! Would also have liked to talk about sugar content. Please do a high protein vs. regular ice cream comparison next! 🍦
Yessss👌
Hey, I just came across your channel and I love the content so far. Keep up the great personality and enthusiasm!
Let’s gooo I love to hear that glad ya found me🙌
I personally tend to stay away from all this stuff and just processed foods overall! I find that when I eat their protein counterparts I still have the same reaction. I tend to still want to eat more of it and my digestion is sometimes even worse due to the artificial sweeteners and added fiber. I would rather make sure to eat my days of quality protein and at the end of the day just have the real thing because you know at least it will be good. Awesome video, very enjoyable!
That is definitely the ideal way to eat no doubt🫡
Best CZcamsr ever!!!!! Protein bars are my addiction hahaha I love trying new ones. Yay road to ripped was epic!!!!!
Yesss gonna do some more reviews soon👌
Great comparison review! I’ve heard bad things about the candy bar protein bar collab ones; personally the moon pies were pretty well done I think. The icing on the protein versions is replaced by some sort of shelf-stable yogurt, though the taste was pretty spot-on for what it is.
Do more of those bro!
On it👌
Me eating pure protein birthday cake and keeling over and dying
Great video. I live 20min from Hershey here in PA so nothing will ever compare to Reeses and as you stated the 10cal difference isn't worth it per se. I absolutely love the tasty pastry as well. They are my favorite out of any protein bar or snack. Even better than barabells bars even thought they slam as well.
100% agree it’s hard to beat a freshhhh Reese’s!
you should try the quest HERO bars!! cookies and cream, chocolate peanut butter, and chocolate salted caramel are my favorites. they really do taste like candy bars with 15-18g protein and 150-180 cals
Yessss all the quest hero bars are pretty good👌
Great video. I think it's a great point to understand the value of eating a 'protein' bar and having a snack. the comparison of Reeses to Quest is great. at the end of the day calories in vs. calories out are nearly identical. for me the treat of an actual candy bar, in my opinion, far put weighs a negligible 5 grams of protein.
I think when we look at protein bars and or drinks my personal rule of thumb is the protein-to-calorie ration should be close to even for it to be worth it (for example 200 calories with 20 grams of protein) I believe Greg Douchette had put me onto that rule. Quest, legendary, barbells even Pure Protein do this really well
I was just traveling and at a gas station said to myself I can eat 2 Quest protein bars @ 400 calories and 40 grams of protein OR get a Pro series Muscle milk and a Snickers bar which work out to almost the exact same macros and I get the pleasure of enjoying a candy bar :)
Side note I do LOVE the legendary 'pop tarts' and they do offer great macro split :)
Yesss very true points👌
I absolutely fell in love with Legendary pop tarts when they first came out. I’m not sure what happened but now they make me sick. I want to throw up when I even see one.
Great video! Love seeing this kind of stuff!
I feel that happens with protein bars a lot when you have them for a while
Did the dealers on the street say "Psst! Hey kid! Wanna buy a protein bar?" as he opened the right panel of his trenchcoat?
Lmao you must have been there bc that’s exactly what happened
Great idea to compare different bars!
Yesss more coming soon!!
The best treat I’ve had that is high in protein is the power crunch French vanilla wafers, actually tastes like a treat and has protein, little high in calories though.
I think if power crunch had a little bit lower calories I’d have it almost every single day lol
Yesss power crunch is always a staple!!
Very cool video, agree, as an avid protein lover, I would probably go with the Reese's if you are craving.
Factssss just too good🙌
I dont understand why they did Vanilla instead of banana for the power pie
legendary pop tarts and sweet rolls are legit.....The new barbell caramel choco bars are pretty damn good
Yessss had those too and they’re very good!
I never had the three layer moon pie mine was always 2 layered
I was in a store that sell protein stuff (B12, and so on) and I found some of things you were talking in this video. And I was like....... what?!
Let’s gooo glad you found em!
The legendary foods poptarts is best warm because otherwise not would you not taste the filling
Nice, might have to give the protein poptart a try. Sucks the cinnamon toast crunch one isnt good.
Yeah a let down for sureee
The Cinnamon Toast Crunch bar is spectacular.
Trueee
I could never get over how hard those quest peanut butter cups were.
Yeah the choc to pb ratio is a bit off!
Seen the new Cosmic Brownies Pure Protein Protein Bars Collab? :O
Gotta try em out soon!!
That’s how I get my snickers protein bars. Dealers straight off the street
Just snickers? Gotta step up your game
Thank you for explaining that the Snickers protein bar doesn't taste like Snickers. Was wondering about that.
Lmao yup NOTHING like a snickers!
What do you mean by “childhood” favorites
You’re supposed to microwave the protein pop tarts for like 10 seconds and let me tell you it’s a game changer for sure
Yeah it’s pretty solid microwaved too!!
Is the 5 grams of protein in a Quest cup going to make a difference? That's the wrong question? The question that should be asked is, will dropping the 22 grams of added sugar make a real difference in your health? The answer is a resounding "yes". I put my type 2 diabetes into remission by switching to high protein, low sugar replacements for my favorite sweet treats.
Curious about how much sugar vs the real thing
Out on the street looking for the protein plug, as one does.
Only way to get the good ones…
where did you find the Snickers protein bar exactly?
Random gas station, I think a speedway
bruh it thought they were International-exclusive. could only get them online otherwise. I was just over in the UK too@@JoeySuggs
Legendary birthday cake flavor
Damnnn I gotta try it!!
Bought 2 Legendary Strawberry Pop Tarts, ate one cold, ehh not too good. I brought the second one to work and read the back & says to microwave, so I did 10-20secs & 100000x BETTER!
Yeahhh they definitely do taste better heated up but I think the strawberry flav might be the best too!
Joey eats a moon pie.... You're Southern now.
Always have been🫡
The high protein options are also much more expensive
Yesssss very true!!
great video
Appreciate ya🙌
That Snickers Bar attempt at a protein bar is just disrespectful. They should be ashamed 😂
It really should be illegal to sell that!
For the Cinnamon Toast Crunch you might as well eat the cereal bar then drink a protein shake.
Lmaooo factsss it’s crazyyy!
JS, why the toilet seat in the background?
Lmaooo literally never thought of it like that😂
17:45, TLDR: "Some are worth it, but instead of getting something you TRULY don't crave, get THE REAL THING instead, and curb those cravings!"
Yup pretty much
Am I the only one that thinks the decoration in the background looks like a toilet seat?
Apparently not from these comments😂
MetRX peanut butter cup protein bar was the BEST…PERIOD!! 😋
Oh damn I’m gonna look for these!
The Quest Reeses is like twice the price. Always go with the real Reese.
Factssss don’t even go into price!
Do you want half the calories for double the price or double the calories for half the price 😂
Lmaooo that would have been a good title too!
Joey why are guys displaying toilet seats? Haha
Lmaooo idk what this new trend is?!
Legendary Foods is fire 🔥
The besttttt
Why doesn’t anyone mention the sugar %?? That’s more hurtful than the calories.
Where did this idea that lower calorie = healthier come from? Sure, a fair bit of healthy foods such as fruit, veggies and lean protein are in fact low in calories but there are plenty of low calorie foods that have almost no nutritional value and vice versa plenty of high calorie things loaded in nutrients & minerals.
Very true idk but it’s sooo misleading😂
Oh pro tip try those moonpie thingies in the microwave 10-30 seconds
Some foods are designed to taste better warm then cold it's meant to be like a comfort food or something
Huh I’ll try it out for sureee
The power pie not only nailed the consistency but it tastes so gross at the same time I think i didnt like the cookie
idk...all these bars are just pure crappy stuff...protein and all...however, I'm 'addicted' to the NuGo bars (a.k.a. chocolate bars w/protein) and yes...Quest bars too...those companies know how to hijack your taste buds!
btw...Loving your cute pink polished nails lol!
i love those legendary pasteries. protein and calories are on point. I would rather eat cardboard then a regular pop tart. they are so bad.
Feeeel that for sure👌
I love ur videos
Appreciate ya🙌🙌
Nope, not buying it. You're missing your coworker, the older gentleman. He cracks me up. Reminds me of my granddad. He seems like a super nice guy. I haven't tried any of those bars. I agree with your summary. Leave the protein bars to the protein companies. Btw, had an Alani Cherry Slush Energy drink today. Very solid.
Lmaooo we’ll get him back on the channel soon👌
Redcon1 protein bars on the spot????
Nawwww never liked any flavors I tried!
A fine video but you left out the elephant in the room...the COST! If taste and macros were the only considerations, of course I'd opt for the healthier choice. But I just now looked up the price of a few of these items and, holy smokes, they are not cheap! I'll stick with Costco protein bars, not cheap, but at least reasonable. Again, though, a fine video well done.
Yes if comparing cost then none are worth it!
The thing is, often these copycat protein bars by the real companies doesn't taste any better than the real thing, yet has around the same calories, just with more protein. They still have A TON of added sugar and artificial crappy ingredients. This makes them not worth it, and tbh, you should just have THE REAL THING if you crave it, and then have a protein shake on the side. It's just like the Lenny & Larry's Cookies. Those are 420 calories, and only 16g of protein. I'm sure having THE REAL DEAL from a bakery at like 300-400 calories, and then a protein shake that's 100 calories by the side, would be SO MUCH BETTER, and would satisfy your cravings A LOT BETTER! 👆
Not another “Reesee’s” pronouncer 😭
I’m convinced this is the right way to say it!
✝️💪
If it taste good it should taste good no matter what is a useless mindset. Telling me you want to eat hot ice cream or frozen steak?
Algorithm
Appreciate ya🙌
Quest bars are gross and a gastric upsetting experience
Its all bad for you l, stick to real food and ditch the shakes.
Joey “Protein” Suggs with another Protein banger. 🫡
Factsssss
I just gave your mom a power pie, she said it was salty
Bruhhhhhh😵
