Living in a house with
everyone who exercises and eats healthy on a daily basis, I was excited to receive
these products, yesterday.
From the company, Muscle Up, I
received two of their protein bars. The back story of how this company started
is from two master athletes themselves. They created their first, Muscle Up Bar
was created by a pair of professional athletes who did not locate an available
protein bar on the market that contained the two most basic elements of their
diet: grass-fed, pasture-rich protein and sweet potatoes. Their goal was that, they
would only use the finest products available to produce the greatest quality
protein bars. Every bar is made with 2-3 times more protein than sugar and
rarely with some sugar alcohol or stevia, so no aftertaste!
Protein bars may be a great
way to incorporate carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals to your diet.
They can also minimize appetite, fuel a workout, or support muscle repair after
exercise.
We also realize that we need
to have at least 20 g of protein before and during a workout. And bringing in a
protein bar 30 minutes before the workout and/or immediately after the workout
is a brilliant idea, particularly if you don't have a shaker and a protein
powder in your hand. When those hunger pangs strike between meals, or after
you've just completed a challenging workout, protein bars will satisfy while
still supplying consistent, healthy energy that will help you motivated to
remain on track and meet your weight loss goals.
That is where Muscle Up
Protein Bars come into play. No matter how you work out, whether its
weightlifting, or doing a strenuous workout of another form, these protein bars
will help you.
The first bar for me to try
was the cacao and vanilla. This protein bar was Muscle UP's bar, that started
it all. Tasting the bar you get the crunch of the organic cacao nibbles and the
cacao chips. There's also the taste of the almond butter, with the hint of
vanilla. The protein bar over all is sweet. However, that sweetness comes from
no chemical sweetener, but from sweet potato and coconut nectar. Eating this
protein bar gives you a perfectly balanced intake of nutrition. Also what's
great about this company is, 25% of sales will finance needs-based grants for
students pursuing health or performing sciences. A little added note, when
eating the protein bar from Muscle UP, it has a great texture that won't stick
to your teeth like some protein bars may do. Over all it's a delicious protein
bar. This protein bar I ate around 9am
after using the treadmill for a good lengthy work out. My appetite held until
lunch, with no food cravings.
The other bar that Muscle Up sent,
was the peanut butter with cacao nibs. This protein bar is gluten free, soy
free and has no sugar or stevia. The protein bar is soft in texture, but still
chewy. You get a full amount of peanut butter, in which the company only use's
organic. Then there are the cacao nibblers along with protein nibblers in every
bite. The combo of the flavors are very well balanced. This bar I ate in-between
lunch and dinner, and again my appetite was fulfilled, and I was satisfied well
into the night.
