has anyonw tried the new snickers energy bar? Whenever i think of snickers i think of pure sugar. I was just wondering if it was actually healthy, because if i could find a energy bar that tasted like a snickers and was healthy it would be great!

Not sure on the healthy thing but I've tried the peanut butter one and it tastes pretty good, alot better than other bars! Lots of peanuts in it :big_smile:

On the plus side, it's got a lot of vitamins/minerals. It is 1/3 sugar, though, and the only other redeeming quality is that it's got peanuts.

I just looked at it, and I must say the sugar is too high!
And only 9grams of protein! There are alot better choices out thier. Save your money and buy the regular snicks.

I just got a snickers marathon bar today to try it out. I'm gonna use it tomorrow before i workout. I was wondering though, how long should i wait after i eat it before i workout? Should i wait just a few minutes or longer?
