Customer Reviews of HOOAH! Soldier Fuel Energy Bars, Apple Cinnamon, 2.29-Ounce Bars (Pack of 15)
Customer Review: Candy's dandy...
Summary: 1 Stars
Reading some of these comments, and after sampling a Hooah bar, I can understand why these bars give you long lasting energy. They're oily and sugary. Lots of sugar for quick energy and the oil stays on the stomach longer so you don't feel hungry quickly- that's why much of fast food is so popular, it tastes good and its satisfying, but it ain't necessarily good for you! The recipe makes it sweeter, and certainly oilier, than eating an ordinary candy bar. I think a Snickers tastes better.
For those who are using these as meal replacement bars, I'd be real careful. The bar might be 'balanced' but it isn't a meal. Whatever energy bar you consume, they're good before a workout or post-workout for recovery but don't confuse them with a proper meal and all the components found there.
As for me, I prefer an Odwalla bar or Cliff bar. Less grease, true natural ingredients, less hype.
Customer Review: Way to go Hooah Bars
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried several "energy bars" and have found Hooah to be the best at doing what it says it will do, give me steady energy. Most other energy bars that I have tried, pick me up and then knock me down a few hours later. I feel confident feeding them to my family too. My 8 year old son races motocross and eats one before each moto. My daughter eats one before cheering at football games and before her 4 hours of dance lessons. My husband, a contractor/builder, eats one before a hectic work day. I have to keep up with all of them and sometimes don't have time for breakfast or lunch, I just grab a Hooah bar and I am set. They are like bread and milk in our house, if we are out, everyone is mad at Mom. Since we have several friends and family members in the armed forces, we also like the fact that a portion of each sale goes to the military. Thanks Hooah!Customer Review: Hooah, Clif , and Odwalla...
Summary: 4 Stars
For bars they are good...but compared to the peanut butter ones, the taste is lacking (and I really like the Clif Brand Apple flavor).
Overall these seem far more sugary than either Clif or Odwalla...and it is worth mentioning that Clif seem to be the heaviest in the stomach (followed by Hooah (but they disolve faster due to the sugar I think) and the easiest on the stomach has easily got to be Odwalla. Odwalla (at least Peanut flavor) seems the most like Real food with real peanuts in it. But I would also say that Odwalla tends to leave you hungry sooner than the other two.
All three of these brands are light years ahead of brands like slimfast and South Beach...which are much m,ore candy-bar like.
Customer Review: Corn Syrup, Rice Crisps, and Partially Hydrogenated Oils
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm in the Army and have these things all the time in Iraq. I wish we had a different option because these have corn syrup (first ingredient), crisp rice (cheap and empty filler and the second ingredient), and also partially hydrogenated oils (bad for you and also cheap). Some people assume that if it is a military approved item that it must be good. Not so. The military is all about cheap but effective solutions. Is this an effective energy bar? Yes. Is it good for you in the long term (especially when compared to other bars)? No.Customer Review: Troop Approved
Summary: 5 Stars
I love these because they're delicious and just the thing for getting me through a long workout. They're also perfect for traveling, easy to pack, and sustain you during an all day hike or touristy walkabout. A friend of mine in Iraq says he eats them twice a day, for the taste, and also because--and I agree--he trusts an energy product designed by the military for soldiers much more than an energy product designed by a private company for profit.
