For a protein bar, this is a very good price: these bars are BIG &#8211; over 4 oz apiece &#8211; and deliver a solid whack of protein.  I&#8217;ve paid at least as much for bars half the size of these.<\/p>\n<p>Now if they only tasted better&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>They weren&#8217;t bad: flavor-wise, they were ok.  But they were dense, somewhat dry, and not particularly interesting.  Each bar was just a thick, uniform slab of baked, flavored dull.  Edible, sure&#8230;yummy, no.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, they were quite filling &#8211; so while the bars aren&#8217;t exactly low in calories, they were pretty satisfying.  They&#8217;d probably make pretty good snacks for backpacking and hiking, as they&#8217;re a good source of protein, wouldn&#8217;t be easily smashed, and are a good, compact source of calories\/energy.<\/p>\n<p>[usrlist &#8220;Taste:2.5&#8221; &#8220;Quality:4.0&#8221; &#8220;Efficacy:4.0&#8221; &#8220;Value:4.0&#8243; avg=&#8221;true&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tri-O-Plex High Protein Food Bars are also part of the &#8220;Chef Jay&#8221; line, as discussed in the Tri-O-Plex Cookie review.
