Customer Reviews of CytoSport Muscle Milk Light Bar, Vanilla Toffee Crunch, Pack of 12Customer Review: High Protein - Lactose Free - Tasty - A Little Skeptical Of (Some) Ingredients - Carry A Toothbrush Summary: 3 Stars
This review is for: Muscle Milk Light Bar (Chocolate Peanut Caramel):
I tried the Muscle Milk drinks. They are high protein and filling and I like that I can find them in Lactose Free varieties - chocolate and vanilla. So I thought I'd give the protein bars a go for a change from all that fluid intake(and output). I went with the Muscle Milk Light Chocolate Peanut Caramel. The bars were also zero lactose which is a plus in my case(I have a really really bad relationship with dairy products).
Nutrition info wise - they appealed to me as well. High protein 15 grms;low sugar 9 gr(compared to other protein bars), 170 calories - which are filling and satisfying ,0 cholesterol,6 gr fat(4 saturated, 0 trans)sodium - 105mg,100mg potassium and 4 gm of dietary fiber - not too bad - remember these are the "light" bars. If you are looking for a good source of vitamins and minerals, you won't find that here, so I don't think I would use them as a meal replacement.Also - there are 18 gr of carbs.
The taste was good - very chocolaty and a good taste of the caramel filling as well. The bar is small but hefty weighing in at 1.59 oz. And I found that it was a great way to control hunger between meals. I found though, they stuck to and between my teeth, so this is not something I would eat on the run or right before an important meeting. You really need to brush or rinse afterwards.
The ingredients, which include a bunch of stuff that just doesn't sound too healthy(a couple I couldn't pronounce) and the sticking to my teeth factor, keep me from going 4 or 5 stars.
Here are the ingredients(for the chocolate caramel peanut bar):
Hydrolyzed Gelatin,polydextrose,evaporated cane juice solids,whey protein isolate,fractionated palm kernel oil,milk protein isolate,water,honey roasted peanuts(peanuts,sugar,peanut and/or canola oil,honey,salt,modified potato starch and xanathan gum)corn syrup,nonfat dry milk,glycerin,high maltose corn syrup,peanut flour,cocoa powder, soy lecithin,crystalline fructose,natural and artificial flavors, partially hydrogenated palm oil,salt,butter,sucralose
What the heck is fractionated palm kernel oil or crystalline fructose anyway? Partailly hydrogenated palm oil - isn't that the stuff that all the experts say to stay away from?
Also included milk,peanuts,soy and manufactured in a facility that processes tree nuts.I'm guessing the dairy products like milk are something like "Lactaid" that doesn't have the lactose. I had no lactose intolerant problems with these.
The shelf life looks to be about a year from the manufacture date.
So 3 stars I guess for being high protein, good tasting and lactose free -a VERY occasional snack.
Also check here to compare deals:Muscle Milk Light Bar Chocolate Peanut Caramel 12 bars -where you will also find at this time an option for the Vanilla Toffee Crunch variety.
Remember to breathe, eat healthy and enjoy!..... Laurie
