Ohhhhh yeeeeaaaahh, it’s time for the Oh Yeah protein bar review! We’ve all seen the commercials: Hungry? Grab a Snickers! Well I propose an alternative: Why grab a sugary candy bar that’s going to make you look soft, when you can get all the same taste in the Oh Yeah Protein Bar! Seriously, this bar is delicious. The taste is extremely similar to that of an actual Snickers bar or Payday, only its actually pretty darn good for you as well. This bar has been on the market for a while, and has withstood the test of time. And with such a delicious taste that is backed up by a solid nutrient profile, it’s no wonder why.
Taste – 5 out of 5
The layers of this bar are as follows: gooey protein center, followed by a sweet caramel like layer, lots of peanuts, and a thin sugary outer coating all around. The taste is just as good as it sounds from the description: amazing! It is very thick, very chewy, and very rewarding. This is the type of protein bar that you will actually look forward to eating, not the kind you dread and look for excuse not to eat. It tastes just like a Snickers or Payday candy bar. If you really don’t like peanuts or god forbid, you are allergic to them, then this bar isn’t for you. It’s LOADED with peanuts.
Ingredients and Nutritional Value – 4 out of 5
Because of all the peanuts in this bar, it is a little high in fat with 14 grams – however, peanuts are an extremely high quality source of fat, and burned readily as energy. The only problem is there is somehow, of these 14 grams of fat, there are also 9 grams of saturated fat. All the fat in the world, as long as it’s from peanuts, wouldn’t be that bad, but there is fat coming from something else in here. If you watch how much fat you consume the rest of the day, then this won’t be a big problem, but still, I would have like to have discovered less saturated fat.
Not only is this bar packed with peanuts, but protein and fiber as well – 28 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber! This is very good and the bar scores a lot of points here. You won’t find many protein bars on the market that that much of either. There’s 11 grams of sugar which is okay, could have been just a tad lower, but oh well, it’s not bad, and this is probably how they make it taste so darn good.
The Bottom Line – 4 out of 5
The payday bar is priced roughly around the mid tier as far as protein bars prices, which is fair considering what you get. The bar is pretty hefty at 370 calories, so it will definitely hold you over. No need to combine this bar with a banana or anything, unless you’re in serious need of extra calories because you’re trying to bulk up or something. With a great nutrition profile, amazing taste, and fair price, you can’t go wrong with the Oh Yeah! Protein bar.
