I received my monthly order of P90X Protein Bars a couple weeks ago and was excited to get them. Beachbody was re-doing them in an effort to make them better. I thought the old P90X Protein Bars were pretty good to begin with so I was curious to see how much better these ones could be.
**Beachbody has discontinued the P90X Protein Bars. They have been replaced by the BEACHBAR.**
Are The New P90X Protein Bars Better?
Upon opening up the variety pack of P90X Protein Bars I went straight for my favorite flavor, the Wildberry Yogurt. After taking a couple bites I could taste the difference and that difference was…the taste. It had a lot more flavor in them then the previous P90X Protein Bars. It didn’t taste so much like a protein bar as it did taste like a really good candy bar. So far so good.
Do The New P90X Protein Bars Have Better Ingredients?
Beachbody has said that the new P90X Protein Bars have more natural ingredients then the old ones. After taking a look at the ingredients from the old ones to these the only real differences I could find are that the calories dropped from 260 to 250 and sugar dropped from 26g to 17g.
The rest of the ingredients like vitamins, Copper, and my favorite ingredient name Riboflavin are about the same. The sugar content was the only thing I did not care for in the previous P90X Protein Bars. The protein content is still at 20g per bar.
What About The Other P90X Protein Bars Flavors?
The Cafe Mocha flavor is now my second favorite flavor with Chocolate Peanut Butter and Chocolate Fudge following. The difference I noticed in these other flavors is they added crisps in them to give it more flavor. The also have a softer shell making it easier to bite into and not so proteiny. You can read more about the P90X Protein Bars and buy them at the Beachbody Store.
All in all I think Beachbody has done a great job in improving their P90X Protein Bars. They took one of their best products and made it even better. I don’t know what they can do to improve them but I’m sure they will think of something. What I like best about the P90X Protein Bars is that they are quick snack that keep me full when I’m out snowboarding or on the go.
