This Should Be Illegal! I Review Protein Bars VS The Real Thing

[@Skyrim279]

Please more of these! I love watching these types of high protein food tasting videos since there are barely any in my country 😢

[@JoeySuggs]

Yessss will do👌

[@SoulShiner1115]

Agreed. I struggle getting my protein in. Not a big meat eater and allergic to eggs (can have things with eggs as ingredients though, which is weird), so I loves ideas on to get a little more protein. Plus, getting the taste test is great so I know not to waste my money on.

[@Redraider04]

Am I the only one who thought that was a toilet seat on the table behind him?! LOL

[@timothyburrows9622]

I’ve never felt as betrayed when I tried the Snickers protein bar.

[@JoeySuggs]

Absolute facts… sad

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

I almost threw up eating it

[@pandora4111]

I haven’t tried the normal snickers protein bar but I tried the low sugar protein versions and was so disappointed 😢 my friend then recommended the snickers peanut butter high protein bar which at least is really nice however it had 9 grams of sugar per bar and at that point is it even worth it lol.

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

I dont understand why they did Vanilla instead of banana for the power pie

[@ditz3nfitness]

Loved this! Maybe you could do smth similar, where you try out different energy drinks/protein powders? Or just some other protein foods? Maybe we could get another "What to buy at xx" video? I love watching you go around American Supermarkets because they differ SO MUCH from the supermarkets in Europe/Denmark! Another great video, Joey! 🔥

[@JoeySuggs]

Yesss definitely will do👌

[@jimboalogo]

Did the dealers on the street say "Psst! Hey kid! Wanna buy a protein bar?" as he opened the right panel of his trenchcoat?

[@JoeySuggs]

Lmao you must have been there bc that’s exactly what happened

[@fluffybunny2984]

I personally tend to stay away from all this stuff and just processed foods overall! I find that when I eat their protein counterparts I still have the same reaction. I tend to still want to eat more of it and my digestion is sometimes even worse due to the artificial sweeteners and added fiber. I would rather make sure to eat my days of quality protein and at the end of the day just have the real thing because you know at least it will be good. Awesome video, very enjoyable!

[@JoeySuggs]

That is definitely the ideal way to eat no doubt🫡

[@chole18]

Best KZbinr ever!!!!! Protein bars are my addiction hahaha I love trying new ones. Yay road to ripped was epic!!!!!

[@JoeySuggs]

Yesss gonna do some more reviews soon👌

[@Ashleyspatz14]

You’re supposed to microwave the protein pop tarts for like 10 seconds and let me tell you it’s a game changer for sure

[@JoeySuggs]

Yeah it’s pretty solid microwaved too!!

[@Ashleyidselfg]

The best treat I’ve had that is high in protein is the power crunch French vanilla wafers, actually tastes like a treat and has protein, little high in calories though.

[@nayel4744]

I think if power crunch had a little bit lower calories I’d have it almost every single day lol

[@JoeySuggs]

Yesss power crunch is always a staple!!

[@msharrel]

Moon Pie is always best when warm, takes away the dryness!! Great video Joey on the comparisons!!

[@JoeySuggs]

Yeah but wouldn’t the chocolate melt?!

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

I like mine dry af

[@dougbrown7150]

- ​@JoeySuggs it gets a little messier, a fork is a good idea but it doesn't just melt straight off

[@dougbrown7150]

Where did you find the cinnamon toast crunch, I MUST HAVE IT

I was in a store that sell protein stuff (B12, and so on) and I found some of things you were talking in this video. And I was like....... what?!

[@JoeySuggs]

Let’s gooo glad you found em!

[@SoulShiner1115]

Out on the street looking for the protein plug, as one does.

[@JoeySuggs]

Only way to get the good ones…

[@DJFlemmyFlem]

the moon pie she tells you not to worry about lmao legend

[@ardie4]

Great comparison review! I’ve heard bad things about the candy bar protein bar collab ones; personally the moon pies were pretty well done I think. The icing on the protein versions is replaced by some sort of shelf-stable yogurt, though the taste was pretty spot-on for what it is.

[@jessicam.3672]

Hey, I just came across your channel and I love the content so far. Keep up the great personality and enthusiasm!

[@JoeySuggs]

Let’s gooo I love to hear that glad ya found me🙌

17:45, TLDR: "Some are worth it, but instead of getting something you TRULY don't crave, get THE REAL THING instead, and curb those cravings!"

[@JoeySuggs]

Yup pretty much

[@adambellesheim5706]

I absolutely fell in love with Legendary pop tarts when they first came out. I’m not sure what happened but now they make me sick. I want to throw up when I even see one. Great video! Love seeing this kind of stuff!

[@JoeySuggs]

I feel that happens with protein bars a lot when you have them for a while

[@IAFitness]

Do more of those bro!

[@JoeySuggs]

On it👌

[@thefxrsaken9236]

Quest reese's cups are fireeeeee

[@aidanpmahoney]

you should try the quest HERO bars!! cookies and cream, chocolate peanut butter, and chocolate salted caramel are my favorites. they really do taste like candy bars with 15-18g protein and 150-180 cals

[@JoeySuggs]

Yessss all the quest hero bars are pretty good👌

[@mikemiville3009]

I gotta defend the Quest PB cups. It's not about how healthy it is or how many calories it has. It's about blood sugar and making something that cuts down on sugar in your diet. And the QPB cups have ZERO sugar. QPB cups helped me lose 35 lbs in 3 months. So, please do better when explaining these things and not misleading people. Sugar is the real evil in some of these things when it's not always all about calories.

[@LangstonHD]

You lost weight because you were in a caloric deficit, not because you ate less sugar. Lowering sugar was simply a tool that allowed you to make smarter food choices and reduce cravings. The sugar in those processed foods is infinitely worse for you too. People like you who can bite into something as sweet as the Quest PB cups and not raise an eyebrow as to where that flavor really comes from are about to get walked all over by the food industry in the next 15+ years

Great video! Would also have liked to talk about sugar content. Please do a high protein vs. regular ice cream comparison next! 🍦

Yessss👌

[@Ja-tz5rs]

The strawberry legendary bar looks pretty good. I tried the brown sugar one and it was horrible

[@oplkfdhgk]

my issue is they are still all probably filled with seed oils and all the other junk ingredients. i would rather just eat some meat.

[@Kspazzout]

Ayo :0

[@chris-g-tx]

Bought 2 Legendary Strawberry Pop Tarts, ate one cold, ehh not too good. I brought the second one to work and read the back & says to microwave, so I did 10-20secs & 100000x BETTER!

[@JoeySuggs]

Yeahhh they definitely do taste better heated up but I think the strawberry flav might be the best too!

[@ditz3nfitness]

Seen the new Cosmic Brownies Pure Protein Protein Bars Collab? :O

[@JoeySuggs]

Gotta try em out soon!!

[@metalhead4ever69]

Great video. I live 20min from Hershey here in PA so nothing will ever compare to Reeses and as you stated the 10cal difference isn't worth it per se. I absolutely love the tasty pastry as well. They are my favorite out of any protein bar or snack. Even better than barabells bars even thought they slam as well.

[@JoeySuggs]

100% agree it’s hard to beat a freshhhh Reese’s!

[@kimiefabulous]

Thank you for explaining that the Snickers protein bar doesn't taste like Snickers. Was wondering about that.

[@JoeySuggs]

Lmao yup NOTHING like a snickers!

[@SemajV1]

I could never get over how hard those quest peanut butter cups were.

[@JoeySuggs]

Yeah the choc to pb ratio is a bit off!

Nice, might have to give the protein poptart a try. Sucks the cinnamon toast crunch one isnt good.

Yeah a let down for sureee

[@leesalawitch1386]

Just caught this video...the Legendary chocolate protein rolls are money

[@Gano-mm9xu]

legendary pop tarts and sweet rolls are legit.....The new barbell caramel choco bars are pretty damn good

Yessss had those too and they’re very good!

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

The legendary foods poptarts is best warm because otherwise not would you not taste the filling

[@scootertron8332]

The Cinnamon Toast Crunch bar is spectacular.

[@JoeySuggs]

Trueee

[@cmfernandez9283]

Is the 5 grams of protein in a Quest cup going to make a difference? That's the wrong question? The question that should be asked is, will dropping the 22 grams of added sugar make a real difference in your health? The answer is a resounding "yes". I put my type 2 diabetes into remission by switching to high protein, low sugar replacements for my favorite sweet treats.

[@Bijan88]

Very cool video, agree, as an avid protein lover, I would probably go with the Reese's if you are craving.

[@JoeySuggs]

Factssss just too good🙌

[@Jmartucci81]

Great video. I think it's a great point to understand the value of eating a 'protein' bar and having a snack. the comparison of Reeses to Quest is great. at the end of the day calories in vs. calories out are nearly identical. for me the treat of an actual candy bar, in my opinion, far put weighs a negligible 5 grams of protein. I think when we look at protein bars and or drinks my personal rule of thumb is the protein-to-calorie ration should be close to even for it to be worth it (for example 200 calories with 20 grams of protein) I believe Greg Douchette had put me onto that rule. Quest, legendary, barbells even Pure Protein do this really well I was just traveling and at a gas station said to myself I can eat 2 Quest protein bars @ 400 calories and 40 grams of protein OR get a Pro series Muscle milk and a Snickers bar which work out to almost the exact same macros and I get the pleasure of enjoying a candy bar :) Side note I do LOVE the legendary 'pop tarts' and they do offer great macro split :)

[@JoeySuggs]

Yesss very true points👌

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

I never had the three layer moon pie mine was always 2 layered

[@drewblack7142]

So whats the reason you feel the need to open these so close to the camera?

The high protein options are also much more expensive

[@JoeySuggs]

[@sofiaO-b3e]

Barbells salted peanut is a wayyyyy better snickers dupe trust

That Snickers Bar attempt at a protein bar is just disrespectful. They should be ashamed 😂

It really should be illegal to sell that!

[@elcolson78]

Am I the only one that thinks the decoration in the background looks like a toilet seat?

[@JoeySuggs]

Apparently not from these comments😂

[@futileelegy]

I prefer dark chocolate protein reecee's cups... I think the brand name was Justin's or Justin or something but I dont really remember. anyway dark chocolate + peanut butter is WAY tastier than milk chocolate + peanut butter IN MY OPINION xD edit: I just wanna say I like milk chocolate in moderation but it's generally too sweet. However, I could eat dark chocolate almost every day/every other day and have a hard time of getting tired of it. I also love fudge. it's delicious.

[@o0SayNoMore0o]

For the Cinnamon Toast Crunch you might as well eat the cereal bar then drink a protein shake.

Lmaooo factsss it’s crazyyy!

The Snickers was disappointing. I had it a few months back 😢

[@JoeySuggs]

Agreed!!

Why doesn’t anyone mention the sugar %?? That’s more hurtful than the calories.

[@jessicakallis1614]

JS, why the toilet seat in the background?

[@JoeySuggs]

Lmaooo literally never thought of it like that😂

[@angelos5348]

Where did this idea that lower calorie = healthier come from? Sure, a fair bit of healthy foods such as fruit, veggies and lean protein are in fact low in calories but there are plenty of low calorie foods that have almost no nutritional value and vice versa plenty of high calorie things loaded in nutrients & minerals.

[@JoeySuggs]

Very true idk but it’s sooo misleading😂

when i had the protein snickers bar it was absolutely amazing. they must've changed the formula or our taste buds are drastically different 😂

[@JoeySuggs]

Yeah we definitely must be trying different protein bars!!

[@lilsavage9516]

idk i tried it a while ago i think april or march and it didnt taste the best but i also don’t really like snickers in general but there was a huge artificial protein taste

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

The power pie not only nailed the consistency but it tastes so gross at the same time I think i didnt like the cookie

[@cameronmccoy2269]

Do you want half the calories for double the price or double the calories for half the price 😂

Lmaooo that would have been a good title too!

[@kingmachiavelli6262]

Joey why are guys displaying toilet seats? Haha

[@JoeySuggs]

Lmaooo idk what this new trend is?!

Power Pie: High Protein Milk Chocolate Flavored Confectionery (Milk Protein Concentrate, Palm Kernel Oil (Responsibly Sourced), Sugar, Cocoa Powder, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavors), Allulose, Canola Oil, Wheat Flour Milk Protein Isolate, Water, Sugar, High Fat Cocoa Powder, Invert Sugar, Chocolate Natural Flavor With Other Natural Flavors, Salt, Baking Powder, Gelatin 😂 ☠️

[@flyinyeti]

Oh pro tip try those moonpie thingies in the microwave 10-30 seconds

[@flyinyeti]

Some foods are designed to taste better warm then cold it's meant to be like a comfort food or something

[@JoeySuggs]

Huh I’ll try it out for sureee

[@ditz3nfitness]

The thing is, often these copycat protein bars by the real companies doesn't taste any better than the real thing, yet has around the same calories, just with more protein. They still have A TON of added sugar and artificial crappy ingredients. This makes them not worth it, and tbh, you should just have THE REAL THING if you crave it, and then have a protein shake on the side. It's just like the Lenny & Larry's Cookies. Those are 420 calories, and only 16g of protein. I'm sure having THE REAL DEAL from a bakery at like 300-400 calories, and then a protein shake that's 100 calories by the side, would be SO MUCH BETTER, and would satisfy your cravings A LOT BETTER! 👆

[@HaimGreen]

Redcon1 protein bars on the spot????

[@JoeySuggs]

Nawwww never liked any flavors I tried!

[@symmenter2]

Nope, not buying it. You're missing your coworker, the older gentleman. He cracks me up. Reminds me of my granddad. He seems like a super nice guy. I haven't tried any of those bars. I agree with your summary. Leave the protein bars to the protein companies. Btw, had an Alani Cherry Slush Energy drink today. Very solid.

[@Hankster651]

A fine video but you left out the elephant in the room...the COST! If taste and macros were the only considerations, of course I'd opt for the healthier choice. But I just now looked up the price of a few of these items and, holy smokes, they are not cheap! I'll stick with Costco protein bars, not cheap, but at least reasonable. Again, though, a fine video well done.

[@JoeySuggs]

Yes if comparing cost then none are worth it!

[@sherriw7673]

idk...all these bars are just pure crappy stuff...protein and all...however, I'm 'addicted' to the NuGo bars (a.k.a. chocolate bars w/protein) and yes...Quest bars too...those companies know how to hijack your taste buds! btw...Loving your cute pink polished nails lol!
