I'm not sure I can put into words my love for these bars. The flavors are insane, the macros are glorious, and it's healthy. Uhm... yes, please. It's a love/hate relationship with how fast I went through these. Yup Brands actually makes 2 diferent types of bar- B-Up and B-Jammin'. Currently 6 flavors of one and 3 of the other, here are my thoughts!
B-Up Bars
Peanut Butter: Just your standard peanut butter flavor, packed with protein! Since these bars are so smooth, it's like having peanut butter fudge (which is always a good thing). Broiled I'd compare them to a peanut butter cookie! There also isn't a flavor coating overtop like the other flavor options they have.
(Macros are 220 calories 11f/23c/20p and 18g of fiber)
PB&J: Very true to taste. The top layer of the bar is pink, which makes me think the "j" of pb&j is strawberry. The bar is soft, basically the texture of a melted quest bar which is GREAT because I've gotten to where I don't like how chewy a quest bar is plain. This way I can take the bar on-the-go and actually enjoy it. It's a bit sticky, but totally worth it. Pb&j FTW!
(Macros are 210 calories 10f/24c/20p and 18g of fiber)
Vanilla Peanut Butter: Basically the same as the peanut butter bar, just with an added layer of vanilla overtop. These two bars are very similar, but both delicious! (Macros are 210 calories 9f/24c/20p and 18g of fiber)
Cinnamon Roll: Not that I'm trying to bad talk quest, but I don't like the quest cinnamon roll flavor. This bar however is fantastic. I love cinnamon and I love cinnamon rolls, so bake this and make a little drizzle for the top and you'll see what I mean. No words can be used to describe happiness it will bring. (Macros are 170 calories 4f/28c/20p and 20g of fiber)
Chocolate Mint:
This is like a Girl Scout thin mint cookie on steroids. Seriously insane flavor!! Most mint chocolate thins are either too minty or too chocolatey. This is 50/50. The chocolate chunks inside just take it over the top. Broil this and you've got a perfectly crisp cookie with melty chocolate chips and a mint coating on top. Can't say enough good things about this one!!
(Macros are 180 calories 6f/27c/20p and 20g of fiber)
Sugar Cookie: This and the mint probably tie for favorites. The bar has a little bit of a vanilla taste, which makes it easy to enjoy with any other flavor combinations. For cooking into other recipes or using as a topping this bar just about goes with it all!

B-Jammin' Bars
PB&J:
I'm really loving these "stuffed" type bars! The 'J' is definetly strawberry here, very strong fruit flavor. The bit around the jelly is what's packed with the peanut butter. These bars are a little stickier because of the middle, but totally worth it.
(Macros are 180 calories 6/26c/12p and 11g of fiber)
Vanilla Cherry Pie:
If you out 'pie' in the title of anything I'm sold! Seriously though, the cherry flavor is on point. It's not that medicine cherry flavor, it's a sweet cherry filling. The outside of the bar is what has the vanilla flavor. The flavor a go together great! I recommend warming it in the microwave for a few seconds and you're good to go!(Macros are 160 calories 3.5f/28c/12p and 12g of fiber)
Apple Pie Ala Mode:
Apple pie flavored? How about Apple pie batter! This thing is suuper ooey gooey creamy and stuffed with an apple/cinnamon filling. It also has real Apple chunks in there, so forget fruit.. Just grab one of these babies!!
(Macros are 150 calories 2f/29c/12p and 13g of fiber)
I'm sure after seeing these macros, you'll want to compare these to quest. I don't think quest has anything compared to these guys. Quest bars are tough/chewy and really only best when warmed or broiled. These bars are suuuper soft and ooey on their own. The ingredients list is shorter AND these are sweetened with stevia. Their low sodium, gluten free, and have minimal rams of net carbs- it's seriously insane! All shipping in the U.S. is free, so you can visit www.bupbar.com or www.yupbrands.com to order some. Shipping is very fast and their customer service is great if you have any questions! I'd also recommend checking out their instagram @bupbar1 for some really fun recipes using their bars. Guys, I HIGHLY recommend these. I'm headed off to college in a few months and I can guarantee these with be a staple in my room! It makes me excited to go knowing that my parents with be supporting a personal Haley Yup Bar fund. That's a great thing, really.

Pescience=new favorite brand of protein. Their flavors are insanely delicious and true to flavor pluuuussss they're a mix of casein & whey. This means when you make protein fluff the volume in UNREAL. Sadly, snickerdoodle is the only flavor I have at the moment. It is probably the most flavorful protein powder I've ever tried. Bakes great into every recipe I've tried so I thought I'd share a few with you! If you'd like some more options of recipes you could make, you can check out their instagram @pescience or for all the flavors they have to offer check their website www.pescience.com. |
