There’s a little secret among bodybuilders, serious lifters and anyone who lives and eats for a healthy life. It’s called the food bar conundrum. When you train hard, are counting your macros and timing your food intake for optimal performance, sooner or later you will be short on time with errands to run, things to do but also hungry with no time to prepare a meal. So you search for a food bar that would serve the purpose, but also might taste like dog poop, have the consistency of wet cement and is filled with ingredients that you can’t even pronounce and wouldn’t want to put inside your body. Well, our prayers have been answered with the new MRE BAR. These meal replacement bars from Redcon1 are “protein on the go” made with real whole foods and the taste is unbelievable.

Made From Real Food

Real food is always best; any nutritionist worth his salt will tell you that. So your meal replacement should be made from real food, not weird-sounding, artificial ingredients whose names take you back to your high school chemistry class. While a lot of bars are loaded with artificial ingredients, the researchers at Redcon1 have taken the MRE BAR to an entirely new level by ditching the junk ingredients and giving you healthier choices like oats, salmon, chicken, eggs, brown rice and sweet potato. These ingredients give the MRE BAR an amazing taste, unmatched flavor and the nutrition that gives you sustained energy throughout the day. And the whole-food sources won’t upset your stomach, cause cramping or give you unwanted gas. 

The Macros

A lot of bars on the market have excess amounts of sugar, ranging from 15 grams and in some cases, more than 20 grams per bar. A snack or meal replacement that’s healthy limits your sugar intake and doesn’t bring it to excess. Many bars on the market have a ton of carbs and are low in protein, or just a huge imbalance in the macro count with a messed-up nutrition panel. The MRE BAR only has 6 grams of sugar, with a healthy ratio of 29 grams of carbohydrates and 20 grams of protein that’s balanced with 9 grams of fats. These macro counts are perfect to fuel your workout without a drastic insulin spike that will enable you to perform at your best. Packing only 260 total calories per bar, it’s the perfect snack-size meal while on the go, or pre-workout, that’s loaded with proper nutrition made from real food and won’t make you feel overfull.

About the Taste

Our staff was blown away by the taste of MRE Bars. Meal replacement bar doesn’t quite do justice to the delicious taste of these bars. They are a culinary triumph for the bodybuilding world; the peak of flavor and satisfaction; the high-water mark of muscle-building macros. Redcon1 has dished out a smorgasbord of protein-packed flavors for their MRE BAR and they each taste like the genuine article: Blueberry Cobbler, Banana Nut Bread, Cookie Dough, Crunchy Peanut Butter Cup, German Chocolate Cake, Iced Carrot Cake, Chocolate Mint, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Sprinkled Doughnut, S’Mores and Snickerdoodle. Each MRE BAR is so mouth-watering and bursting with flavor that it’s like eating the real thing but without the guilt and stomach bloat.

The MRE BAR is like having dessert for a snack, but with real whole food and the macros you need to fit your day, fuel your workouts and reach your goals. The bars break apart easily with an amazing food-like texture that’s pleasant to chew. The MRE BAR looks like real food, tastes like real food and chews like real food. The MRE BAR will change your outlook on bars forever.
