No Cow

NoCow is a company that has revolutionized plant-based nutrition. With a wide range of products, from protein bars to powder, NoCow offers products that are very suitable to those with intolerant issues. NoCow products are dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free and vegan. Great for on-the-go, after a workout or even in-between meals. Each plant based protein bar packs around 20g-22g of protein per bar. Even though they have many products and flavors, I tend to gravitate towards the chocolate chip cookie dough flavor myself. Try it yourself or add it to your workout routine.

I tried a fair number of this brand's products. Some are really good, but others I would say aren't worth it. Their dipped bars for instance are typically better in taste and texture than their regular bars. The bars overall can be too "chalky" for some people. I think my favorite out of the bars I tried were the birthday cake ones with key lime pie being in second. The peanut butter cups are my favorite of their products because unlike the bars, these are actually creamy. The only problem I had with the peanut butter cups is that I had them shipped to me during the summer, and no safeguard was put in place to prevent them from completely melting on the way. I would not order anything that can melt from them during hot months.

Pros: - great calorie to protein ratios - dairy-free Cons: - overly chalky, texture and taste is reminiscent of play dough - dipped flavors aren’t tastier compared to the original flavors, just adds more calories. I’d rather have add-ins inside the bar for more textural delight.
