I appreciate it SO MUCH that you remove eating sounds. YouTube can be a nightmare sometimes if you can't deal with them

[IamLegionGreen]

You have no idea how much I appreciate you taking out the chewing sounds! Ive legit thrown my phone across the room when i hear unexpected mouth sounds.

I feel like I'm in a failing relationship with NoCow, like, "go ahead, leave me... I may taste like stevia play-dough but see if you can find a cheaper bar with better macros than me."

The new chocolate-dipped ones are a step in the right direction at least!

I think there are two types of protein bars, there are ones that are pretty low calorie, low carb, high protein that are equivalent to a protein shake, they are a supplement to boost your protein if you're not getting enough, and then there are the sugary ones that have 8-10g of protein per bar that are for when you want a chocolate bar or a cake but you want something that isn't just pure refined carbs and actually has some nutritional benefit. They are for different situations, the sugary ones are supposed to taste like a nice treat, and the low calorie ones are supposed to not taste terrible. The absolute worst ones which I never buy are the "wholefoods" ones that are made with nuts or something that tastes like shit and don't actually have much protein in them.

Thank you for doing such a thorough review and ranking of all of these bars! I really enjoy this format of video. I would love to see you review other vegan products like this in the future 🙂 I always enjoy your videos though, so I'll be here no matter what you post 😂 I hope you and your family are doing well.

I know this is an old video, but I am just discovering it now and I am so excited! I have been looking for vegan high protein/meal replacement bars to take hiking or before long runs - when I need some "fuel" in my system, but nothing too heavy, as I don't want to upset my stomach or make me lethargic. This video is helpful; thank you.

Alternate title for this video…
“Drug Addict Taste Tests Bunker Food” 😂

1:53 This is the first time I've ever seen any sort of consideration towards misophonia sufferers; not just in a YouTube video, but in anything. This is great.

[theshunnedBandersnatch]

I like No Cow's new coated bars better than their regular ones.
But nothing compares to that Nugo chocolate pretzel. I bought a whole case the other day and have already polished it off thanks to PMS cravings 😭

[stormhavenhomesteadandwitchery]

Started laughing about the matcha one 😂 I have this weird relationship with matcha, I'm not a big fan of the taste, so earthy, however I will crave it and if I see a very specific frozen matcha treat I want it. So weird. 😂

"Stevia, oh no!" 😂

Great video, thank you! 💜🔮🌱🐾

[VeggieVllc]

I like stevia. I pretty much like all of the sugar alcohols and plant sweetness 🤷‍♀️
No Cow is my fav. Can’t beat the macros! I reach for those over anything else. I preferred their previous formula without the corn fiber, but the newer formula is ok. I do really, really, love dry food though. Dry and chewy…yum!

[rachelguedry]

I love Lenny and Larry’s cookified bars 😅 you just gotta get the cookies & cream- it hits different.

[ohio_nights]

I’ve always been pretty meh on Luna bars, but the ones with “truffle” on the end (double chocolate truffle, chocolate peanut butter truffle, etc) are SO GOOD!!

[sparklinginfinity]

It’s so refreshing to watch a review from someone whose tastebuds are not corrupted by some kind of unsustainable restrictive diet full of artificial sweeteners, no conventional sugar, low fat, low everything, high boredom. You always hear those stereotypically *flawless* influencers say “this tastes just like a candy bar!!!” but they haven’t even smelled a conventional sweet treat in the last decade.

[manicpixiecassidy]

I love the mini game you implemented pretty quickly where you tried to guess the bars as they came out, was pretty great.

[Ilikebeenz]

I just got the nugo bars and omg ur right, theyre so good 😍

[mjbray]

I actually love biting into something that is dense in protein. Even chalky protein bars I really like, and I hate crispy bits in bars 😅

[olivia]

Nugo bars are life. I also love the almond chocolate one

[ellie]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH PLEASE PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE KINDS OF VIDEOS YOU'RE A QUEEN

I've never really been a protein bar kind of person, but I somehow discovered the Nugo bars years ago and decided to give them a try. I now buy the box packs of them to save money because I always make sure to have them on hand. I keep one in my bag all the time and I find that I can just munch on like half of the bar when I'm kind of hungry and I'll be totally fine for awhile. They are so so delicious, and the chocolate mint is my absolute favorite (I just found the slim one you mentioned the other day when I was grabbing some and decided to get it to try it out, but I haven't opened it yet). The pretzel one is really good too and reminds me of the Kudos bars my brother and I ate all the time when we were kids. Every Nugo bar I've tried tastes just like a candy bar and I truly don't know how they do it, but I'm so glad they do
