Customer Reviews of Soldier Fuel Energy Bars, Real Chocolate, 2.29-Ounce Bars (Pack of 15)
Customer Review: Made with Palm Oil
Summary: 2 Stars
I see no reason other than profit that the manufacturer would use cheap palm oil in a product being marketed as a health food. One bar has 25% of the maximum saturated fat you should get in one day. Why not substitute a monosaturated fat that will lower cholesterol rather than use one that raises it?
I also don't need it to be loaded with vitamins and minerals as they are easily taken in a daily pill. Additionally, the texture is like day-old uncooked brownie mix. But it tastes OK relative to other health food bars I've tried and has 10 mg of protein which is good.
Might I recommend instead Clif Bars that taste better, cost almost 1/3 less per ounce, have 70% less saturated fat, 60% more fiber, less calories in a bigger bar, and taste better.
Customer Review: No high fructose corn syrup, just corn syrup and fructose?
Summary: 3 Stars
I give the producer credit for listing the ingredients on this bar, but why brag about having no high-fructose corn syrup if the first ingredient is corn syrup and the third ingredient is fructose? The fructose still goes to your liver and is metabolized accordingly. Tastes good because fructose is sweet. By the way, maltodextrin plus fructose is equivalent to sucrose.
Fractionated palm oil, while not trans-fat, has more saturated fat than palm oil, and is not really a healthy oil.
Again, I applaud the producer for honestly listing the ingredients, and if they keep me alive in a survival situation, I won't worry about health consequences. Still, I would not brag about the ingredients.
Customer Review: best bar out there
Summary: 5 Stars
Since I heard about the hooah bar several months ago, I have been relying on it - in both flavors - to supplement my busy schedule. I need quick, efficient, good-for-me meals. I've tried most bars on the market and couldn't stand either (1) the taste, (2) the texture, (3) the price, or (4) the aftermath of those other bars (some bars left me hungry or just disatisfied, other bars gave me an unsettling rush ... ) The hooah bar tastes great, goes along well with morning coffee/tea, is reasonably-priced compared to many bars and actually provides me the meal-replacement sustenance I need. I love them! (I would recommend the apple cinnamon for breakfast and the chocolate crisp for afternoon snacks.)Customer Review: military food that tastes good
Summary: 5 Stars
I first tried this bar when I saw it on the counter at a 7-Eleven and needed a snack to get me through a meeting. it tasted sorta like a chocolate brownie, with the texture of a $100,000 bar-- without the sugar high and crash.
On the next 7-eleven trip, I bought 2 of them. But I accidentally left the one I didn't eat in my black car when it was 82 and sunny. I was stunned that it retained it's texture, shape, taste. So I ordered a case and i've noticed, they're easy on the stomach. (Normally energy bars give me... side effects.) So now I have one before I run for 5 miles and I don't feel as tired afterward.
I didn't realize the military had scientists working on food.
Customer Review: The Best Energy Bar
Summary: 5 Stars
I first tried the Hooah Bar about six years ago.
They were purchased from Ebay and had been stolen from the army.
After going through the ones I had, and unable to find them again, because
of the second Gulf War. They were all shipped overseas!
I use them for surfing, and they are better than any of the other
power/energy bars, for sustained energy. But, what also places them well
ahead of the rest is the fact that you can throw them in a vehicle during
the hot summer, 100 degrees and leave them for a week. Open it and eat it. Try that with a PowerBar, and you have chocolate milk!
