Try it – Hide and seek with Luna’s new protein bars

Try It

A few weeks ago, I was hearing buzz about Luna’s new protein bars. NEVER wanting to be out of the loop, I made it my mission to find these things. Luckily, the grocery stores caught wind of this “buzz,” as well (normally they are a bit delayed) — and had plenty to choose from (and on sale – DOUBLE SCORE!).

Anyway, I snagged a few of them and figured I’d give them a try — or I’d take a bite, determine I didn’t like it and pilfer it off on the Mister (I’ll just omit the part where they’re targeted at women!).

Here’s how it actually went down:

Twp days after buying the loot, the Mister says to me: “Hey Babe, those candy bar/protein bars are really awesome, make sure you buy more of them this week!”

Excuse me? More? As in “more than we already have” or “more because they are all gone?”

You’re all bright people, I don’t think I have to tell you that they were g-o-n-e. Well, at least I knew they were yummy (according to the Mister, anyway). So I bought more and hid a few to ensure I actually got to try them this time.

I felt guilty eating this. It was THAT good. It actually tasted just like a Reese’s cup, if that’s your kinda thing (I don’t have to tell you that it’s mine!). The thing I liked so much about this bar was that it didn’t have the metallic, artificial aftertaste that so many protein bars have. This will make a great post-workout or on-the-go snack – now if only I could make sure they don’t all disappear — I think I need a new hiding spot — the Mister is a quick one ;)

p.s. the Mister says that the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor is even better — I wouldn’t know since I never got a bite! Maybe I should tell him these are made for women?! Nah, it wouldn’t stop him — afterall, what’s good is GOOD.

    I’ve been reading about these bars, too! But i’m cheap and hate spending $2+ on a bar. Maybe if I can get some coupons or find them on sale I’ll try them out!

    I love Luna. They never seem to miss. I don’t know if this was a seasonal flavor, but I suggest the chocolate peppermint stick if you can find them. They taste just like Thin Mints.

    I’m totally stuck on Zone bars right now. Used to love Luna’s but they don’t have enough protein… till now! I’m definitely going to be on the lookout for these. Especially the cookie dough ones!

    Honestly, I LOVE these kinds of bars. Larabars and the like are king in the blog world, but I’ll take a chocolate covered slab of dense, slightly sticky, protein-y chewiness over those any day! I love balance bars, and these look pretty similar, so I’ll have to try them!

    First off ladies… chances are your significant other know these are directed toward women (it is printed on many of the labels). I am a guy and I know they are directed toward women. That being said. I love the luna product line and will definitely have to keep an eye out for these new bars.
