Review: Isatori, Eat-Smart Bar, Frosted Cinnamon Caramel Crunch meal replacement bar from iHerb (also available on Vitacost):
Isatori is a completely new company to me. I like to try new protein bars, and when I noticed that iHerb carries a new brand, I had to buy and test these cinnamon caramel crunch meal replacement bars.
Frosted Cinnamon Caramel Crunch has whopping 27 grams of protein per bar. Bars are large, great crunchy texture and the taste is simply superb. Hands down the best meal replacement bars I have tasted. There are zero trans fat, and taste is natural. But the protein bar could use less sugar (now there’s 17g per bar). Maybe not the best choice for evening meal/snack, but great way to start your day, or as pre-workout meal. Great price and quality ratio.
Score: 5/5

As a bodybuilder and weekend warrior, I rely heavily on protein. Dismayed by an increasing trend of protein bars loaded with sugar alcohols, unhealthy fats, and worthless gelatin protein, I designed Eat-Smart with the highest standards for protein bars. With 27 grams of protein, powered by whey protein hydrolysates (the purest and most bioavailable source of protein for your active body), high in fiber, gluten free, and enriched with vitamins and minerals, yet very low in sugar alcohols, Eat-Smart packs a solid punch for those who want to build and maintain healthy muscle.
