MET-Rx Big 100 Colossal Protein Bars, Blueberry Cobbler, Meal Replacement Bars, 4 Count

Big high calorie, high protein, filling bar. They are not a replacement for a nutritious meal (packed full of who knows what) but if you have no access to real quality food and need calories and protein these are definitely worth a look. Great for after the gym, to keep in the car for emergencies (waiting in traffic for 4 hours on the motorway, you'll be glad to have some of these), prepper / survival bag worthy (low weight, high value)!

I ordered my product in November and still await delevery of my product over 40 days later !!!! I spent over £140.00 on my product to which i still await confirmation as to when I will recieve them. Heres hoping the new year brings my product i paid for in November !!!

13,000£ for 9 bars? Are they made of gold?

The MET-Rx Big 100 is less of a protein bar and more of a protein event. At 30 grams of protein, it doesn’t just snack—it announces its presence. The Salted Caramel Brownie Crunch flavor is dangerously good. It’s like dessert snuck into the gym and decided to get swole. Sweet, salty, crunchy, and chewy all at once—it tastes like it shouldn’t be this high in protein. Honestly, I’d eat it even if it didn’t have the macros of a mini meal. These bars are filling enough to replace lunch when I’m in a rush, but not so heavy that I feel like I swallowed a brick. Perfect for tossing in my bag for work, workouts, or “oops, I forgot to cook dinner” nights. In short: tasty, satisfying, and packed with protein power. The MET-Rx Big 100 makes me feel like I just leveled up in both strength and snacking. If brownies went to the gym, this is what they’d become.

TL;DR: They're all dry so make sure to drink something with them, personally recommend the "Crunch" flavors (Super Cookie Crunch, Mint Super Cookie Crunch, Salted Caramel Brownie Crunch), seems like a decent meal replacement, good protein and carbs for your workout. Right, so I took notes over the week I was eating these to keep track of my thoughts and experience with these bars. Overall they're dry so definitely drink something with them. My sugar tolerance is pretty low so they were almost unpleasantly sweet for my tastes, leaving me with that subtle sugary burn in the back of my mouth, and the other flavors seemed subtle as a result. Of course ymmv on the flavors, so take my opinions on that with a grain of salt. As far as meal replacements go, I believe they did the job. They kept me full between meals during my ususal workout routines, but on more intense days these bars felt more like snacks and left my stomach feeling like an all-consuming black hole. I'll chalk it up to user error in case I just wasn't eating enough on those days. Now for the individual bars themselves: -Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough had a chewy texture that I liked, though my notes say "jaw workout". It has that generic protein bar flavor and I didn't notice much, if any, chocolate flavor. Definitely had some vanilla and maybe a hint of something like cinnamon. Not as dry as the other bars. -Peanut Butter Pretzel was "honey forward" according to my notes. There are actual pieces of pretzel on it, and there was some caramel flavor. Despite there being some peanut butter coating on it, I apparently didn't notice the flavor. This one, along with Crispy Apple Pie and Vanilla Caramel Churro have the same core texture: a sort of dense crispiness that, in my opinion, sounds better in text than it feels in the mouth. Personally I didn't like the way they scraped my gums. -Crispy Apple Pie tastes like an apple pie, so the flavor is good but it loses points for scratching the inside of my mouth. -Vanilla Caramel Churro: My notes on this one seem confused, so I guess I couldn't make sense of the flavor at first. Mostly tastes like sugar, apparently, with a subtle cinnamon flavor buried beneath it. Makes sense, now that I'm thinking about it, and now I have the ungodly temptation to gently heat one of these up to see if that'll change anything. -Granola Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip isn't as sweet as the last three, and has that generic protein bar flavor with maybe a hint of vanilla. "Has a flavor", according to my notes, but there's nothing on whether it tastes like peanut butter or chocolate. I'm assuming I couldn't taste either flavor or it was super subtle. -Granola Chocolate Chip is apparently a generic chocolate chip protein bar and somehow more sugary than the other granola bar in the trial pack. -Salted Caramel Brownie Crunch looks like it might be a softer bar, or at least that's what I thought when looking at the packaging. It's more like a very thick wafer in terms of texture instead of the cake-like thing I expected. The caramel did come through all the sugar in this one, but the overall flavor was like a sugary chocolate bar. Definitely in my top three. -Mint Super Cookie Crunch: my personal favorite because it tastes like a less intense peppermint patty. If you like mint chip ice cream, you'll probably like this one. Didn't taste as sugary either. Has that same wafer-like texture as Salted Caramel Brownie Crunch and Super Cookie Crunch. -Super Cookie Crunch: just had this one on the day of writing this review. There's not much to say about it that hasn't been said about the last two. It's chocolatey, has that wafer-like texture, dry like every bar in the pack (except Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough), and tastes like chocolate flavored sugar. Still in my top three because I love chocolate. In conclusion, I'm glad I started with the trial pack because now I know what to expect and what flavors I prefer. Feels a tad expensive for my liking, but I'm also cost conscious so that's influencing my opinion on the price. I'm not sure I'll use these around my workouts, but will probably instead keep them around as meal replacements when I can't find the motivation to get out of bed and cook something.

metRX are some of *the best tasting* protein bars out there. note: the caramel is gooey so if you keep these in your glovebox it will partially melt.

I needed meal replacement bars for work on those days when overtime is unavoidable and tried the Super Cookie Crunch flavor. I found that these were a great way to satiate my appetite while tasting pleasantly good at the same time. The flavor reminds me of Oreo cookies without the sweet cream filling, which is not bad for a protein-oriented bar. They recommend drinking 8oz of water or other liquid with this meal replacement bar...what I found to be quite tasty together was this bar and vanilla soy milk, which gave it a more sweeter resemblence to the good ol' Oreos dunked in milk. Plus you get even more protein from the soy. Anyway, I just thought I'd share the Nutrition Facts. Keep in mind this is not labeled as an energy bar, and that the bar itself weighs a whopping 100g, that of which 32g is protein. I don't feel hungry for quite some time after consuming one. On the label, it says No Artificial Flavors and No Artificial Colors. My box of bars have an expiration date of 30JUN2013, almost a complete year of shelf life.

My opinion would be that its like a thick, Oreo/Graham cracker crust from a pie. The thin layer of chocolate on the bottom is quite tasty, and, the vanilla layer on top has a bit of taffy consistency, but also tasty nonetheless. All in all, everything comes together quite nicely. I would recommend this bar. I just wish the saturated fat content was lower.

I bought these because they popped up on a deals site for ~$20 or so. When they were delivered, I was initially put off by them: they are HUGE like bigger than king-size candy bars and 400 CALORIES, and I was trying to LOSE weight. Well, I have to say, I found the perfect spot for them in my day. While I do still eat them after lifting, what I've really enjoyed using them for is as a breakfast meal replacement. The apple tastes pretty similar to apple/spice oatmeal, and I have to say, it is pretty filling. I have no trouble making it from 9 to 1 without snacking after eating one of these. It has that VAGUE metallic taste that all protein bars have (at least in my opinion - I've never had a protein bar that didn't at least at some point remind you that it's a protein bar), but I found them to be wayyy more delicious than others and a welcome departure from the typical chocolate +/- peanut butter cocktails. They are good post-work-out, too, but personally I prefer shakes to bars after a work-out. Great price, for decidedly edible 30g of protein. I think I'm going to subscribe to monthlies with this one.
