PureFit Nutrition Bars are High Protein, Gluten Free, and Vegan

Bike Magazine named PureFit Nutrition Bars “Nutrition Bar of the Year”, and that seems to fit.  The bars are slightly dry to taste, but I can see that this would be an advantage for bikers, hikers, and others who don’t want their bars to melt en route.

Tasting Notes for PureFit Nutrition Bars

My family tried a few flavors of PureFit Nutrition Bars, so I’ve included our tasting notes with the respective flavors below. But be sure to leave your own rating and review below if you try them!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip

Ingredients: brown rice syrup, soy protein isolate, beet syrup, semi-sweet chocolate chips (sugar, chocolate, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, vanilla extract), soy crisps (soy protein isolate, tapioca starch, salt), peanuts, sunflower oil, peanut flour, natural flavors, sea salt, soy lecithin. contains soy and peanut. manufactured in a facility that also processes tree nuts, milk and eggs.

Nutrition (per 2-ounce bar): 230 calories, 7g fat, 25g carbs, 1g fiber, 17g sugars, 18g protein.*

Peanut Butter Crunch

This bar has a good peanut butter flavor, and the “crunches” add some needed texture.  The flavor and consistency remind me of the no-bake peanut butter candy I used to make every weekend in elementary school until my family begged me to stop.  But unlike that candy, these bars have no dairy!

Ingredients: brown rice syrup, soy protein isolate, beet syrup, peanuts, soy nuts, soy protein crisps (soy protein isolate, tapioca starch, salt), peanut flour, sunflower oil, chicory fiber, natural flavors, sea salt. contains soy and peanut. manufactured in a facility that also processes tree nuts, milk and eggs.

Nutrition (per 2-ounce bar): 230 calories, 8g fat, 24g carbs, 3g fiber, 16g sugars, 18g protein.*

Peanut Butter Toffee Crunch

Ingredients: brown rice syrup, soy protein isolate, beet syrup, peanuts, soy nuts, soy protein crisps (soy protein isolate, tapioca starch, salt), peanut flour, sunflower oil, chicory fiber, natural flavors, sea salt. contains soy and peanut. manufactured in a facility that also processes tree nuts, milk and eggs.

Nutrition (per 2-ounce bar): 230 calories, 8g fat, 24g carbs, 3g fiber, 16g sugars, 18g protein.*

Oatmeal Cinnamon

Ingredients: brown rice syrup, soy protein isolate, soy nuts, almonds, soy crisps (soy protein isolate, tapioca starch, salt), fructose, organic agave syrup, gluten free oats, sunflower oil, glycerin, chicory fiber, natural flavors, cinnamon, salt, organic caramel color, soy lecithin. contains soy and almonds. manufactured in a facility that also processes tree nuts, milk and eggs.

Nutrition (per 2-ounce bar): 220 calories, 6g fat, 26g carbs, 3g fiber, 16g sugars, 18g protein.*

Almond Crunch

This flavor seemed too sweet and too bland for our tastes.  My mother suggested combining the Chocolate Brownie and Almond Crunch flavors, which I think is a great idea.  The Almond Crunch needs the added depth of flavor the chocolate would add.

Ingredients: soy protein isolate, almonds, tapioca syrup, beet syrup, brown rice syrup, soy protein crisps (soy protein isolate, tapioca starch, salt), soy nuts, agave syrup, chicory fiber, natural flavors. contains soy and almonds. manufactured in a facility that also processes tree nuts, milk and eggs.

Nutrition (per 2-ounce bar): 230 calories, 7g fat, 24g carbs, 3g fiber, 13g sugars, 18g protein.*

Berry Almond Crunch

Ingredients: soy protein isolate, beet syrup, almonds, tapioca syrup, soy protein crisps (soy protein isolate, tapioca starch, salt), brown rice syrup, soy nuts, chicory fiber, dried cranberries (cranberries, pineapple syrup), dried raspberries, sunflower oil, natural flavors. contains soy and almonds. manufactured in a facility that also processes tree nuts, milk and eggs.

Nutrition (per 2-ounce bar): 220 calories, 7g fat, 24g carbs, 3g fiber, 16g sugars, 18g protein.*

Chocolate Brownie

I liked it, because it’s chocolate. But we felt that the Chocolate Brownie bar would benefit from the texture of the “crunches” that are in the “crunch” bars.

Ingredients: soy protein isolate, beet syrup, brown rice syrup, soy protein crisps (soy protein isolate, tapioca starch salt), almonds, sunflower oil, alkalized cocoa, soy nuts, dates, chicory fiber, glycerin, natural flavors, soy lecithin. contains soy and peanuts. manufactured in a facility that also processes tree nuts, milk and eggs.

Nutrition (per 2-ounce bar): 220 calories, 7g fat, 24g carbs, 4g fiber, 15g sugars, 18g protein.*

While I was hoping PureFit bars would be a hit with my family, alas, they were not. However, my fitness-minded mother and my not-so-fitness-minded self, enjoyed them. We liked the Peanut Butter Crunch best for both flavor and texture. The Almond Crunch and Chocolate Brownie would be better if merged into one flavor.
