ISS Oh Yeah! protein wafer in peanut butter cup





I purchased these bars at a local GNC (after only finding them at all of the other local GNCs in Chocolate Chocolate and chocolate peanut butter (which is very different from the peanut butter cup flavor, don't ask my why but it is)) that happens to be a franchised GNC owned by a couple who are both post op weight loss surgery patients! Go Figure they would be the first GNC in Anchorage that would have a huge selection of wls friendly products, not just body building and diet supplements! If you live in Anchorage, contact me and I will give you their location, their son works in the store and promised me that could special order which is something the other GNC's werent willing to do, I asked. I paid $18.99 for each case (9 packages per case) and I received my GNC gold member discount because I went during their first week of the month member discount time. (So take approx 10% off of the $18.99) I also spent entirely too much on vitamins which I will review shortly. Okay to the bars themselves... As I previously stated, I had tried the Chocolate peanut butter flavor and thought it was, okay. Not great but alright. But I kept seeing other bloggers rave about these bars so I thought I would try the peanut butter cup flavor besides the guy at the GNC, his parents have a great salesperson in him, told me that they really were differen't tasting and you know what, they are. I L_O_V_E them. I gave Lilith an end piece of one and now I can't eat them around her anymore because she loves them too. They aren't as satisfying a a meal replacement bar but they are a great evening or afternoon snack. I try to have 5 small meals a day so I don't go foraging at night because I haven't eating all day, I am very bad at this even post wls but at least I am only eating 300-400 calories verses I don't even want to know what I was eating before wls when I would do this! These bars are great for that besides you can only eat one (which is what I usually do in the afternoon and the other at night and still stay under 250 calories for snacks! I think that is great! I purchased almost every flavor they had so I will be doing more reviews soon!

The PB Cup is SO different. I agree.

Anna,
I must say that while I love Oh Yeah BARS, I can not stand the Oh Yeah wafers... To me, they have a very dry, pasty and proteiny taste to them. The "cream" filling is just nasty! But, the bars are awesome. To each his own, right? I can stand Power Crunch with the greasy mouth-feel, but that protein paste filling in the Oh Yeah wafers makes me gag. I have never heard anyone else comment anything similar, so perhaps it is just me. I prefer a bar with a nougat sort of center and some nuts and caramel! LOL

If you ever need help ordering from somewhere (someone to receive a box and ship it off to you in AK), just drop me a note! I ship LOTS and can help with no problem!
Hugs,
Lea
