Nothing amateurish about Probar

In my never-ending quest to find the right sports food, this week I stumbled across Probar.

"Probar?!" you ask. "Isn't that something you menace someone with?!"

No, dear reader, that's a crowbar. I'm talking about Probar, the Utah-based whole food nutrition bar.

Founded by high altitude food coach Chef Art Eggertsen, Probar is an all-natural alternative to the isolate- and mineral-infused bars eaten by runners, cyclists, backpackers, swimmers and other exercise masochists. With over 70% raw foods, Probar insists on keeping it real by taking real food -- peanut butter, raisins, sunflower seeds, coconut, cashews and so forth -- and putting them into an energy bar.

The result? Something that's incredibly good for you when you're working hard, but doesn't taste like it came from a test tube.

For me, it made the difference last Saturday between riding my bike the ten miles home and walking it home. So while it's no crowbar, Probar definitely packs a wallop.

Probar is worth comparing to GoodBody. Though, GoodBody does not have the same ingredients as Probar yet, it has proteins from soy, egg, whey and other antioxidants.

This protein bar is clothed with fruity sorbet, thereby giving a completely new look to the protein bars.

However, it is not the difference between the energy bars but the way it appeals the athletes that matters.
