Final Thoughts
MuscleTech's new protein bar seems to deliver an excellent combination of whey protein, creatine, amino acids, and vitamins in one little protein bar.
This is impressive and at the same time, a perfect alternative to people using the powder during the daytime, however protein bars still and will always take longer to digest which still makes a protein bar a bad alternative to a post workout shake.
A Nitro Tech Hardcore Bar does, however replace the need for a shake when you are not working out as you do not need the protein in such a short amount of time. They are perfect if you still want to maintain a positive nitrogen balance and need a supplement for those days you are not working out.
They are quite possibly one of these best protein bars a bodybuilder or someone seriously looking to gain muscle could take.
There seems to be complaints on the flavor which is one turn off of Nitro Tech Bars. Many people say it has an average taste for a protein bar and tastes good enough to keep it down, but not enough to savor the flavor.
Also if you are on a strict budget I would rule these out as it roughly costs around $2.50 a bar which is the premium price for protein bars, but you do get what you pay for which is the one of the highest quality protein bars a body builder could want.
So if you are looking to enjoy a protein bar on those off days you aren't working out rather than a protein shake and you can afford the premium cost then a Nitro Tech Bar could be an excellent purchase .
If not, your better sticking with a powder protein shake.
