UCAN Energy Bars with SuperStarch - 12 Count (Coffee)

Keto Review - On a Keto diet so I take in very few carbs (naturally). Superstarch is the exception since the carbs are released so slowly, there isn't the same insulin response as other carbs. I only take superstarch when I'm doing intense endurance exercise and I need/want the extra fuel (4-5 hour mountain bike rides). I can take the Superstarch powder pre-ride (with some exogenious keytones to really up the keto energy!) but these bars are great for a mid-ride snack when you're putting in big miles. Also a nice recovery food after a big ride/effort if you don't have the Generation Ucan Superstarch with protein (powder) available since the bars have a bit of protein too. I've taken Superstarch, ridden, and then tested keytones a few hours later and I'm still in keytosis which is awesome. So far, I feel this is a great fuel source for endurance athletes on the keto diet. Taste - Tastes pretty good, not great. The Superstarch items I've tried aren't as tasty as other powders & bars but that probably just means less sweeteners which I'm completely fine with.

This Works!!! It isn't like any other bar on the market so don't expect it to taste like a regular protein bar. I am a dance teacher and carry a bar with me everywhere I go. I am recovering from mold exposure, which can mess with your blood sugar big-time, so I am dealing with hypoglycemia. The kind that comes on slow & subtle and then I find myself feeling spacey and having a hard time thinking, losing track of time, depressed and feeling like someone else has hijacked my mind. Crankiness, paranoia, irritability, being hyper-emotional and even an over assertive personality shift occurs. It is so bizarre and I had no idea that low blood sugar could do that because I've never dealt with this before. As soon as I eat this bar I start feeling like myself again within minutes. This bar has changed my life because eating a snack or having a meal to raise my blood sugar was not working fast enough and I would still lose energy, get moody and go through the downward really negative spiral. From what I understand this was designed for a seriously ill child with blood sugar issues so it is absorbed and converted rapidly. It is basically a bar made of non-gmo cornstarch with added plant protein and they've done a good job adding the coffee flavor. It works so well and has been such a game-changer for me that flavor and texture are not that big of a deal. Just so glad it works!

So I got this halfway opened, and 2 of the(energy bar) was opened, nice quality :) Any excuses?

I gave the bar four stars because aside from the taste, I did like to have it pre/post workout and I felt like it gave me sustained energy and stabilized my blood sugar. The downside is the taste and texture. I taste no coffee whatsoever and the texture is chalky. It's not worth repurchasing.

The Coffee flavor of the UCAN bars tastes fine but the texture is like a mixture of sawdust and nougat—dry. The Chocolate or Chocolate Peanut Butter flavors are much better in my opinion.

The taste and texture are awful! Maybe because they expired in July and I did not order them until August. The Chocolate Peanut Butter and almond butter flavors are great though. These, not so much. This is the second order from Amazon that they have sent me expired products! Not cool.

The Coffee UCAN bars are delicious! I am a marathon runner and mother of two kids. I initially (a couple years ago) learned about fueling with UCAN from Angie and Trevor on the Marathon Training Academy podcast (MTA). After reading some reviews, complaining of the taste, I was hesitant, but decided to give it a try anyway. I must say, they're delicious! and compact enough to easily carry on a run or race. I am also pleased that these are plant based and do not contain whey. Hooray. Thank you, UCAN. These are better than I anticipated.

great product,tastes great and most important works!! I eat a bar before i go for a run or hit the gym and it gives me enough energy to last the entire workout
