For the past five years a colleague of mine has said that the Detour Caramel Peanut Bar tastes just like a Snickers Bar. I have been sceptical, but I finally tried one. She was right! I have never been a fan of protein bars. Protein bars tend to not taste very good. The texture is often gritty and there is usually an after taste that is not pleasant.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Detour Bar, so much so that I went back to Wegman’s and purchased more. I tried the Lower Sugar Caramel Peanut Bar. This bar contains 170 calories, 5 gm Fat, 17 gm Carbohydrates, 3 gm Sugar, 12 gm Sugar alcohol, and 15 gm Protein. The protein source is a whey protein blend. Ideally for weight loss surgery patients we want a whey protein isolate source for supplements. Protein bars as an additional protein source do not necessarily need to meet that criteria. The only drawback for some is the high sugar alcohol content. Some individuals may have gastrointestinal sensitivity to sugar alcohol.
