MET-Rx Big 100 Colossal Protein Bars, Crispy Apple Pie Meal Replacement Bars, 9 Count

Protein bars have gone through changes over the years, as some people are looking for low carb, or perhaps 'plant' protein (which makes little sense to me, they simply are incomplete in AA composition). Years ago I used to use some of the original MetRx bars. They were nutrition dense, hard to chew, and not the tastiest things around. My old standby bars keep going up in price & I was looking around.Seeing the MetRx name, I was curious. This is a 30g protein bar that also has substantial carbohydrate. What the low-carb folks do not understand is that muscles REALLY need to reload glycogen (a storage polymer of glucose) after working out. That means take in some carbs! This bar tastes more like desert than nutrition. Yes, there is a good bit of sugar, but again POST WORKOUT that is not bad! It provides a READILY AVAILABLE supply of glucose to your muscles.These bars are expensive, but as a meal-replacement especially after working out, it seems worth it. Also realize that people are different (I am speaking as a physician), and their response to various diets, medications, etc will vary. I am one who does not function well with restricted carbs in my diet, I tend towards hypoglycemia. Years back (while competing as an endurance athlete) I went through a phase of low carb intake. I could not train hard enough, and it clearly was not compatible with intense races. So THIS bar FOR THIS ATHLETE is an excellent choice. YMMV

This is one of the better flavors they offer. The taste is great without being overly sweet or artificial, which I really appreciate. It’s satisfying, and most importantly, it actually keeps me full between meals.The macros are solid too—high in protein with a manageable amount of carbs and sugar. It fits perfectly into my routine whether I'm post-workout or just need a convenient snack on the go. Definitely a repeat buy for me!

The MET-Rx Big 100 Protein Bars are great for a quick meal replacement, packing a lot of protein to keep me full and energized. They’re a bit dry, but that’s expected with protein bars. I mainly use these when I forget to bring lunch to work, need a fast breakfast, hiking/camping, or before donating plasma for an easy low fat protein boost.Favorite Flavors:🔥 Super Cookie Crunch – My go-to! (Super dry)🥣 Granola – Solid choice for hiking. (As dry as any other granola)🍏 Apple Pie – A nice change of pace. (Still dry)Pros:✅ High Protein—Great for keeping full.✅ Convenient & Filling—Perfect for busy and long days.✅ Decent Taste for a Protein Bar—Especially my top three flavors!Cons:❌ A Bit Dry—Not the worst, but keep a drink or shake nearby.Final Thoughts:If you need a quick, high-protein meal replacement, these bars get the job done. Super Cookie Crunch is my favorite, but Granola and Apple Pie are solid too. Just be ready to chase it with some water or coffee! 💪🚀

My husband and I order these in bulk. They are a great replacement meal when we are on the go with 30 grams of protein and only 338 calories (if you ignore net carbs and calculate with accuracy, they are more than the 310 calories advertised).They are large for a protein bar, will satisfy hunger, are low in sugar, and we have never had a bad or malty batch come to us, even in the heat of summer. They are a little expensive, but worth it for us as we both aim for higher protein. The main “con” I would give it is that it does taste a little - off? Chemically? I think there is a sugar alternative in it, which is what I think I’m tasting. Typically I try to stay away from those, but it’s hard to find a bar that can leave me satisfied/not hungry, has the protein I want, and taste perfect. Overall, it’s a pretty good bar.PS Their cookies and cream bar is my favorite. It just has nearly 100 more calories for the same amount of protein.

I'm a freelancer 1099. I do a lot of "cold calls"! Eating lunch out in about gets expensive. This is the perfect meal replacement! Very filling, tasty and filled with excellent vitamins and minerals!

I tried the MET-Rx Big 100 Granola Protein Bar in Chocolate Chip flavor. It packs 28g of protein and 5g of fiber, making it a solid meal replacement. The texture is great—chewy with rolled oats, flaxseeds, and sunflower seeds, not chalky like some protein bars. It’s filling, keeping me satisfied for hours, and the 18 vitamins and minerals are a nice bonus for my active lifestyle. The taste is enjoyable, with a classic granola flavor, though the chocolate chips make it a bit sweet for my preference. My only issue: the 25g of sugar is high, which might not suit everyone’s diet. Perfect for a quick breakfast or post-workout snack!

I never leave the house without two of these - a complete meal with zero fuss and preparation.It matters when you live in an area with earthquakes every four minutes on average.Sure, we don’t actually notice 99% of them but, having two of these meal replacement bars in my ruck will be tasty when we do.If I can’t get back home for a day or four, not a big deal with plenty of water, MetRx bars and a good pair of shoes always in my ruck.I forget how many “bars” I’ve tried in the past decade of camping and hiking etc but, these are the only ones I have never gotten tired of…the churro flavor is king.

This item took a little longer than expected. All the content are in the package. The box is not very sturdy, so it was partially opened. The taste is great! I love the protein and calorie content. That is why I chose this flavor. The consistency is great and it does not melt.
