I was really curious to try these EPIC bars, but once I actually got my hands on them…I chickened out! I’m not a big meat eater and even though these bars are made with high quality, mostly organic ingredients I somehow couldn’t get myself to try them…but I was so damn curious! I had some samples so I gave one to my father and another one to one of my favorite trainers at Barry’s Bootcamp and asked them both for feedback. My father was in for a rude awakening because he didn’t pay attention when I told him there was meat in the bar (or he didn’t think I was serious!?), and called me really confused when the bar he took with him to snack on whilst golfing wasn’t the fruity, sweet one he expected. He nevertheless said it wasn’t bad in a nutty, meaty jerky kind of a way. Meanwhile the trainer I gave the bar to said it was too salty for his taste. Again I couldn’t bring myself to taste one of these, but if you’re a fan of beef jerky or looking for a new protein source this seems like a viable route to me. The ingredients used are very high quality, gluten-free, and Paleo friendly (the bacon used in the bison bar, for example, has no nitrates), and all of the bars are 100% grass fed animal based.
Not your average protein source that’s for sure! What are your thoughts on these bars? Would you try them?
