Each bar was chewy &#8211; as most low carb\/high sugar alcohol bars are &#8211; but not excessively so.  The Chocolate Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Brownie bars had a chocolate coating; while the Cookies and Cream bar had a white (vanilla?) coating topped with cookie pieces.  All three bars had a flavored nougat center and were sweet, without being too cloying.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, they were pretty tasty &#8211; not the greatest I&#8217;ve had, but above average.  The bars are quite low in sugar, provide a solid amount of prebiotic fiber and contain only 2 &#8211; 3 grams net carbs.  The protein blend also looks pretty decent.  At 60g, the bars aren&#8217;t huge (approx. the size of a standard candy bar), but one made a reasonably filling snack.<\/p>\n<p>[usrlist &#8220;Taste:3.5&#8221; &#8220;Quality:3.5&#8221; &#8220;Efficacy:4.0&#8221; &#8220;Value:3.5&#8243; avg=&#8221;true&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EAS is the nutrition\/sports supplement company\u00a0associated with\u00a0Muscle Media 2000 publisher\/Body For Life author Bill Phillips, although the company is now a subsidiary of Abbott Laboratories.\u00a0 The change in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,8,9,11,1],"tags":[18,38,73,185,221,254],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":450,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302\/revisions\/450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
