With all of the food bars on the market for athletes, it’s important for a company to have a great blend of nutrients and flavors. For those who follow a paleo diet, the options may be more limited. I recently tried AMRAP Nutrition’s Bars, which might just fit the bill if you follow a paleo diet.

About AMRAP

AMRAP Nutrition is a company dedicated to providing quality bars with a focus on the CrossFit community. CrossFitters frequently follow the paleo diet and also undertake a workout that demands quality nutrition.

The bars are each based on nuts, fruits, and simple sweeteners and flavors like honey and cinnamon. Each bar also gets a protein boost from egg white protein to supplement the protein from the nuts.

Each of the three flavors has a fair amount of fats, since nuts are a major ingredient. As such, the bars also have a fair number of calories, making them great for workout recovery and for people trying to build muscle. They might not be ideal if you’re trying to lose weight.

The Flavors

Almond & Honey

These bars have a warm, nutty flavor that is sweet but not too sweet. The flavor you will notice the most is the cinnamon, which you may find to be too strong if you’re not a big cinnamon fan. Overall, the flavor is what you might expect, given the name. This bar has only a moderate amount of sugar at fifteen grams and an equal amount of protein. It also boasts the highest fiber content of the three flavors, with five grams.

Cashew & Vanilla

Like the Almond & Honey, the Cashew & Vanilla flavor has a warm flavor, but this bar is only lightly sweet. Personally, I find that more appealing. It is a nutty vanilla flavor, and it goes down easy. A major flaw in most bars of this type is an over-reliance on honey or vanilla (or both) for flavor and sweetness, but I found the balance of flavor in this bar to be surprisingly good. Consistency-wise, the bar is not too sticky, loose, or chewy. I found this to be the case with all the bars I tried, in fact. This flavor also has the least amount of sugar at fourteen grams, but also the least fiber and protein (at three grams and fourteen grams, respectively).

Fig & Cacao

These were the sweetest tasting of the bars due to their date base. This bar had an odd flavor I couldn’t put my finger on. The date base had a lot of natural fig taste to it, which is much better than the normal sugary date flavor. Although there were cocao nibs in the bar, they didn’t impart much flavor. This bar is stickier and slightly chewier than the other bars. At 22 grams of sugar, it’s no wonder that this one is the sweetest. However, it has the same amount of protein as the first flavor, with fifteen grams.

Downsides

The bars didn’t have many downsides. Since concentrated protein is one of the ingredients in each bar, some people may not consider the bars to actually be paleo. That’s not a particularly crippling downside, but it could be a factor in your buying decision.

The bars are also a little pricey. At $3.75 a bar, they certainly aren’t priced out of their market, but if you’re on a budget, you might want to set aside funds to spare for a product like this. If you’re good to go after all your nutrition is taken care of, this could be a great snack for any athlete.

Out of all the flavors, the Cashew & Vanilla was the standout. Of the many health food bars I’ve tried that are directed at athletes, the Cashew & Vanilla is one of the better flavored and textured bars I’ve had. With a good balance of nutrients, these bars are great for athletes to enjoy as a snack or to refuel between workouts.

AMRAP Nutrition Bars are available for $29.97 for eight bars at AMRAPNutrition.com.

About Doug Dupont

Having grown up at the foot of a forest covered mountain in rural Vermont, Doug was active from a very young age. Hiking, running, and climbing were a part of everyday life in the Green Mountains. This culture of exercise led to dabbling in martial arts as a teen, and also getting work in a local powerlifting focused gym. Doug continued to pursue knowledge and training in exercise, becoming a certified personal trainer while still a teenager. Once in college he began his hand at the business side of fitness, taking a management position at a large local gym. During that time he became a founding member of the UVM Brazilian Jiu Jitsu club, and was the first among their competition team. After only a few months he was assisting in coaching, and ran conditioning program for the club.

Out of college Doug set up his own training center. He grew his list of clientele including several professional MMA athletes, eventually going so far as to corner a world title fight. He has continued ­­­to develop his business into today.
