Jay Robb Protein Bar Review

I recently did a review on Jay Robb protein powder.  Such a great company, with amazing products!! For sure one of my favorite protein powders for baking, maybe even my most favorite! I have been a fan of Jay Robb for quite some time and I am shocked that I never knew they made protein bars too.  How was I missing out on such a great snack?! I was so excited that they sent me some to review :)

It's a good day when a package with that logo arrives at your doorstep.

The high protein bars come in three flavors.  Cashew coconut, fudge brownie, and peanut butter. 

I love how they are referred to as The "No Junk" Protein Bar. That is because they are made from the finest natural ingredients available! They have no soy protein, gluten, glycerin, marital, acesulfame-K, aspartame, fructose, corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, evaporated cane juice, artificial sweeteners, casein, MSG or tans-fats.  Just like they say, no junk!!

I couldn't decide which one to try first so I cut them up into bite sized pieces so I could taste them all immediately! 

Lovely little sampler platter.

 Fudge brownie was nice and chocolatey.  Super chewy and just the right amount of sweetness.  

This bar has 220 calories 9F 25C 15P.

It was good just as is, but then I decided to have a little more fun with it.  

I topped it off with a little hazelnut spread, and had myself a super tasty treat!

This is a perfect dessert for me!

 I was very excited for the peanut butter one.  I LOVE peanut butter so I knew it was going to be good.  220 calories 11F 23C 14P. 

I love soft and chewy protein bars.  It really is the best texture in my opinion.  

These are made with all organic nut butters too :)

 I had a super wonderful idea to try with this flavor.  First, I warmed it up in the microwave for about 10 seconds.  Then I flattened it out to make it into a cookie.  Lastly, I smothered it with peanut butter!

Oh my goodness!!! This was so good! It was like a warm and gooey peanut butter cookie.  One that is packed with protein and actually healthy! 

Last, but certainly not least was cashew coconut. I like how the bars all have very similar macros.  This one has 230 calories 10F 25C 14P. 

I am usually not the biggest fan of coconut flavored stuff, but this was great!! I loved the taste of cashew in there.  What a wonderful combination.  

There are actually pieces of cashews and coconut in there! I ate some of this bar just out of the wrapper and then I warmed up some of it in the microwave.  It was beyond delicious! Seriously, if you don't warm up your bars, you need to start trying it! 

I highly recommend giving these a try! They are healthy, tasty, and quite affordable! Truly an amazing company with amazing products :)  Go order some here right now!

 I think I just might be Jay Robb's #1 Fan!!

Jay Robb Protein Review

I am a long time fan of Jay Robb's protein powder!  I have been buying the vanilla for quite some time now.  I knew they had more flavors and requested some samples to try and write a review for.  Such a great company! They sent me a wonderful sampler pack!

It's hard to see, but they even sent a tote bag!! Whoo! You can never have too many bags.

It's like a rainbow of protein powders.

There is whey protein isolate and egg white protein.  They come in chocolate, vanilla, tropical dreamsicle, pina colada, and strawberry!!

The whey isolate has 110 calories with 0 fat, 1 carb, and 25 grams of protein!! Those are some amazing macros if you ask me!! 

The egg white protein is very similar with 120 calories, 0 fat, 4 carbs, and 25 grams of protein.  They are all fat free and very low carb! Perfect! 

I have already reviewed a few protein powder companies and this was the first one to send me a shaker too! Bonus points for Jay Robb :) Oh, I also found out he is a swimmer so double bonus points from a fellow fish!

I was in serious need of a new one.  It is the perfect size too.  I feel like most shakers are way too big! I don't like to add a ton of liquid when I do make shakes so this one is just right for me. 

I tried the vanilla egg white protein mixed with some unsweetened almond milk for a simple shake. The vanilla flavor is awesome.  This might be the best dissolving protein powder I have ever tried! 

The powders are all made with no MSG, no acesulfame-K, no sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no artificial colors, no aspartame, no lactose, no sucralose, and no cholesterol.  Just all natural ingredients!

I couldn't wait to try the tropical dreamsicle.  Orange creamsicles were always one of my favorite ice cream bars as a kid so this made me very excited.  I decided to make a protein cake out of this flavor. 

For those of you who never made one, what is wrong with you?? they are very simple and tasty! You simple mix together 3 T egg substitute, 1 scoop protein powder, and a dash of baking powder.  Add some liquid til it's pretty runny and microwave!

You will have yourself a moist, soft, and delicious little protein cake :)

The orange flavor was great!! Not too over powering and not artificial tasting at all.  I loved that it wasn't bright orange either because I know there are no artificial colorings added.  

I topped this off with a little sugar free syrup.  Seems like a bit of a weird combo but I was out of whipped cream :(

It was amazing!!! Seriously, if you haven't made this cake yet, go make some right now!!

I have mentioned before that I don't usually drink my protein powder.  I like to make things to eat with it instead! I decided to make a very simple apple dip with the strawberry flavor. 

I knew this was going to be a good combo.  I love dipping apple slices stuff. 

All I did was mix a little water with the strawberry protein powder and there ya have it!! 

Once again, I love how they didn't make the powder bright pink! As much as I love pink...that would only mean they added a bunch of food dye.  It had a very slight pink tint to it.  So tasty with the apple slices! Nice little snack.   

Next was the pina colada.  Unless it is an alcoholic frozen pina colada, I am usually not a huge fan of coconut stuff.  I had a great idea for this though.  

I mixed the powder with some non fat greek yogurt and topped it off with some frozen banana slices.  

Oh wow! This was so refreshing.  I was worried the coconut flavor would be too strong but it was perfect. 

Great after a workout.  Especially on a warm day, which we are finally starting to get here in Pittsburgh :)

I love baking with different chocolate and vanilla protein powders.  

I especially love these because they are fat free and mix up so well! No clumps in my baked goods!! 

I decided to try the chocolate in a batch of my chocolate pumpkin pancakes.  

These turned out so good that I bought a big bag of the chocolate protein powder.  I found it at GNC for only $19.99!! Very reasonably priced!

The vanilla is already a staple in my kitchen.  It is the only powder I will use in my Savory Cauliflower Pie!  This recipe may sound a little crazy, but trust me, it is so good!!

The vanilla protein powder is perfect because it doesn't have that fakey vanilla flavor.  It adds the perfect bit of natural sweetness.  

It is also a great powder for my amazing Spinach Pancakes!!!

These have got to be the healthiest pancakes in the world! Go try them! Make sure you use Jay Robb protein powder though!

I was also very excited about my new gym bag :) 

I can just throw everything in there, and off I go.  

So, in conclusion...Jay Robb protein powder is amazing!! It is by far my favorite baking protein powder.  It tastes great, mixes very well, is super healthy, and very affordable.  What more could you ask for?!  So go buy some and try it in some of my recipes.  

You and your belly will be very happy :)  Jay Robb has not let me down yet!

Oh, and I also just realized they carry protein bars too!! I will be trying those ASAP!
