You know Thanksgiving can't be too far off when you spy pumpkin pie flavored Clif Bars at your grocery store. Drawn in by the allure that surrounds special holiday flavored foods, I had to have a taste. Plus, I really love pumpkin pie.

I enjoy energy bars as pre-workout snacks, but the concept behind FullBar is different. Though nutritionally similar to Luna Bars and other healthy treats, these protein-packed portions are marketed to help people lose weight. As explained on the wrapper, FullBar was founded by a surgeon who does gastric bypass procedures.

I know that eating Olympic swimmer Kim Vandenberg's favorite energy bar will not improve my race time. But this dose of reality doesn't prevent me from at least wanting to try the PowerBar Harvest ($1.15) she likes.
The first energy bar I ever tried was the original PowerBar, which I thought tasted like minerals and nothing at all like food.

I love nutritional bars, but sometimes it's hit or miss when trying out new flavors.
That is why it was really cool to learn about You Bars ($40 for 12 bars) — nutritional bars that you can create all the ingredients for. You can choose the base, protein powder, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, berries, sweeteners, chocolate, seasonings, grains, cereals, and vitamin infusions. 
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.
