Product Review: YoPRO Protein Bar

Today on Coffee & Questions I did a quick LIVE review of the new-ish YoPro Protein Bar

At 20g per bar, this is a great little protein hit which could be useful if:

• You can't get to a recovery meal within your window of opportunity post-training
• You need a high protein snack (although this is not so convenient if you're out as the product needs to be kept in the fridge)
• Your overall training demand is on the lower carbohydrate side so 20g of protein and 20g of carbohydrate is perfect for you post-workout
• You're looking to add collagen to your diet
• You have high energy needs so this immediately post-workout, followed up by a recovery meal 1-2 hours later fits within your overall requirements

A couple of downsides:

• It does need the fridge so is not as convenient as some of the 20g protein bars that are shelf stable if you're on the run
• At $4 per bar it's not the most cost effective snack going around!
• The best before date comes around really quickly 
• At over 1000kJ per bar, there are much low energy (kJ/kcal) ways of getting 20g of protein in at half the amount of energy. e.g. 200g of plain high protein yoghurt provides 20g of protein for only ~500kJ
