Skout Organic Protein Bar Review

Skout Organic Bars are an organic, plant-based protein, grain and gluten-free protein bars that range in calories from 200-220 depending on the variety.  The bars contain seven ingredients or less and have zero added sugars.  The sweetness of the bars comes from come from dates.  The idea for the creating these healthy and sustainable nutrition bars was hatched while on a hike with their yellow lab, Skout, where the founder realized most protein bars were just glorified candy bars.

I loved the minimal and organic ingredient list of things that I could pronounce and recognize.  The texture reminded me of a Fig Newton cookie and with the date base, were somewhat similar to the Lärabar.  They have a fair amount of carbs due to the dates and at 200-220 calories, they are more along the lines of a snack, than a meal replacement.   The protein in the Skout Organic Bars is derived from plant-based proteins and the bars are also gluten and soy free.

My favorite flavor was the Peanut Butter!  I found the Coconut flavor fairly mild, and not overpowering, which, if you’re not nuts for coconut, don’t be discouraged from giving this one a try.  I was least enthusiastic to try the Chocolate Cherry variety, but it was a pleasant surprise.  The flavor reminded me of a black forest cake.  I had expected to like the Salted Chocolate best, and while it did have a brownie-like consistency, and I did like it, there was a slight fruit flavor that came through that I hadn’t expected.  I loved the simple ingredients and love that they also offer a smaller snack size variety that would be especially great for kids!
