Balance Bar- Cookie Dough

I'm amazed at myself, two reviews in one day. Unfortunately, I have nothing positive to say about this Balance Bar. Yesterday, I made a trip to the grocery store to pick up some more Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Luna Protein Bars. I was looking down the aisle when I noticed that the Balance Bar Company had a protein bar also in the flavor Cookie Dough, so I decided to give it a try. I mean what could go wrong? The Luna Bars were great, as I said in my review. Apparently everything could go wrong, starting with the artificial smell that bombarded my nose when I opened the package. The smell was very off putting. I decided to just ignore the smell and take a bite, after all you shouldn't just a book by it's cover right? Wrong, the flavor was almost as worse as the smell. I didn't even taste the slightest hint of cookie dough. Although if you cut the bar open the inside resembles a roll of cookie dough. It has a strong protein taste, that I found overwhelming. The Balance Bar also contains more calories than the Luna Bar does. The Luna Bar contains 170 calories, 50 calories from fat, 6 grams of fat, and 12 grams of protein. The Balance Bar contains 210 calories, 60 calories from fat, 7 grams of fat, and 15 grams of protein. All in all the taste isn't the only thing unappealing about the Balance Bar. If I had to recommend either the Luna Bar or the Balance Bar I would suggest the Luna Bar, they also retail for the same price $1.49 at my grocery store. But everyone's opinion is different, and this is just me stating mine! Talk to you guys later!
