I'm always on the lookout for new energy bars to fuel my workouts, and when I spotted Peak Bar at Walgreens, I was especially intrigued. The store was selling two flavors — Peaches & Blueberries and Chocolate Brownie — in the Women's Health line, which is described as "bakery style." Hoping it might taste something like a muffin, I bought the Peaches & Blueberries.

The bars aren't like muffins exactly, but they are tasty, and I appreciated that the texture was different than your typical energy bar. To find out what I thought and to see a nutritional breakdown, read more

The Peak Bar is slightly shorter and wider than a Luna Bar and has about the same amount of calories but significantly less fat. Luna Bars usually have four to five grams of fat, while Peak Bars are nearly fat free. Here's the nutritional info for the Peaches & Blueberries bar:

The peach and blueberry flavors tasted very natural, and most of the ingredients are good rather than synthetic stuff. But my favorite part about Peak Bars was the texture: It's very bread-like, evoking a dense scone or cookie. If you have a weakness for bakery goods like I do, why not indulge that love in a high-protein bar? If anyone else has tried these, let me know what you think.
