There are 3 bar names here…the old Grow! bars, the most recent Grow! bars, and Metabolic Drive bars. The latter two are the same formula. I was unknowingly bemoaning the old lemon-flavored bars, my favorites of all time.
Bdog, I am sorry for your inconvenience.[/quote]
lol, no inconvenience whatsoever. I actually got a good laugh out of it. thanks!
Proteinpowda, I don’t think you were bitching. I understood your comment and it wasn’t a negative sleight to Biotest.
Looks like you have some people here that like to make sure you stay in line. Then there is some of us that just like to point shit out. They could always pass over your post just like I could have. But we didn’t. They are picking at you. Don’t buy into it.
About bitch’n…we all do it. If you do it too much knock it off. I bet they are just as bitchy as anyone else given the right circumstances.
Stay here. Only you can get rid of you here. There is way more useful stuff here than a couple a pricks pointing shit out eh? Sorry for calling anyone a prick.
Metabolic Drive Chocolate -
Please Biotest, please never change this formula. This is by far and away the best protein bar EVER! I repeat, EVER! I simply cannot see any company or even Biotest themselves topping this bar.
Tastes like:
Chocolate M&M’s
Holiday Fudge
Milky Way Bar
Extremely Delicious Chocolate!

Maybe a Low-Carb version of the bars is possible??? Just enough real sugar and the rest replaced with Splenda (or whatever). Might be good for alot of us “carbophobics”. ;^)[/quote]
I totally agree with you. If I wanted sugar in my diet, I would grab a snickers and a glass of and be done with it!
I don’t understand. If Biotest wanted to change the image/formula they could have improved the choc brownie bars by
A) making them softer or B) adding in almonds
As for the PB Grow! bars, I liked them…they were soft enough, but I would have liked real (whole) peanuts in them, not peanut flour.

This line right here indicates that you have not tried the new chocolate bars.
They are softer than the peanut butter.

Just enough real sugar. . . I’m sure that’s what they did. I don’t picture Biotest going all willy nilly on the sugar.
I’m sure there’s certain elements of making a great tasting, quality protein bar that just have to be.
If you’re like me and you’ve tried making your own, you know it ain’t easy.

It’s only 9 grams of sugar. A Snickers has 28. Wee bit of a difference, don’t ya think? 
The folks at Biotest aren’t exactly bumbling amateurs. I’m sure they did a cost/benefit analysis for Splenda, and decided that the extra cost wouldn’t be justified. Especially if they were only going to cut out 9 g of carbs.

DAMN! Everyone is talking about these new bars. I already have 2/3 box of the PB Grow! bars. Now I need to order some Metabolic Drive bars I guess.[/quote]
Holy crap dude…yeah, you’ve gotta get some of these bars. You started me on this Biotest stuff and here I am with a box of Peanut butter and a box of chocolate chunk before you??? Live in the now. These bars rock.

The Chocolate Chunk bars taste great. Only about 1 in 3 really earns the “Chunk” in the name, though. I have eaten one box so far, and 2/3 of the bars in the box had either no chocolate chunks or almost none. Still my favorite bars ever and an improvement on the Chocolate Brownie Grow! bars.

I haven’t had that problem at all. Maybe your just inhaling them too fast to notice. lol
I’d love to see a mixed nut based bar ala some of JB’s recipies. That way you can have your non-workout day bar, and your workout day bar. Maybe even slip in some congealed Greens+?

Probably wouldn’t be easy to pull off, but I wouldn’t mind seeing something like this too. A bar heavy on the fats with little or no carbs, (I guess they would have to be all saturated fats though, if not hydrogenated:( Unless like zdrax said you used all nuts instead of oils). The greens + is a good idea too. I’d support it.
11 dollars for shipping?

having never tried them, and not being familiar with Biotest products, i decided to tread lightly.
When did this change take place? I didn’t see any announcement. The price increase doesn’t bother me, I just seemed to miss the announcment.
I have a bit of a dissenting opinion. I don’t think that they taste all that great. At least not as great as is being made out by most everyone.
It does have a good flavor. It actually taste like (to me at least) a Hershey’s bar. I also like the fact that I don’t “need” 2 quarts of water to get the bar down (unlike certain Expensive Ass Shit bars). And it should be a no brainer to put one or two of these in your jacket pocket if you’re going to be out for a bit.
