He Says: Promax Double Fudge Brownie
The packaging for Promax bars features the text “Great Tasting Energy Bar” and that about sums it up. When it comes to bars in the collective “protein” or “energy” categories I’ve come full circle and tasted pretty much all of them.
Power, Clif, Detour, Luna, Lara, Kardea, Honest and MetRx and Glo – I’ve eaten (and enjoyed) them all. Some bars are great and some are passable. The Double Fudge Brownie flavor of Promax are great and satisfy all of my energy bar needs, which you may be familiar with by now.
It’s hard to quantify what makes a bar great rather than just good, but in the case of Promax Double Fudge Brownie I can offer a few simple statements that say what I mean.
- It tastes like chocolate fudge brownie. Not chocolate with a side of iron or metal, just chocolate fudge brownie.
- It has a pleasing consistency reminiscent of fudge brownies, not of soft brick or gooey chocolate sauce.
It leaves me satisfied with the feeling that I’ve eaten something not only worthy of my time and effort, but also nutritional expectations. While they won’t leave you giant, green and ready to HULK SMASH! things, you won’t be looking to eat another one immediately and that – for a hungry man of intense lifestyle such as myself – is the most important thing.
A box of Promax Double Fudge Brownies was furnished courtesy of Promax for this review, however I also purchased a Promax Cookies and Creme Bar after I ate the whole box over the course of 2 weeks. Another Promax Fudge Brownie Bar was purchased after that when I began to miss the double fudge brownie flavor prior to writing this review.

Mmmm…the promax double fudge brownie is definitely my favourite bar. I wish they sold them in the sample sized that I got in a swag bag…they were the perfect size to either eat pre-run or during a run. The normal sized bar is a little big for both of those things. If you have more contact with the company, I’d love to hear if the smaller versions are available for purchase or if they are just their free samples to get you hooked! (it is a pricey bar too)

@Kristen: Sometimes I eat half, fold the wrapper over and then eat the other half – 15 minutes later. Def. staves off hungry.

Hello, great website you have here. I genuinely liked skimming through your post. I stumbled across it this morning and soon found that it was enjoyable, so it inspired me to post a few words. I have a feeling other people will pretty much share your opinion concerning this matter. So, I’ll plan to come back when I make extra time to look at more. This is funny, but I was just calling my wife about this subject, so this read was timely. I will link to this site and find the feed as well. Thanks very much.
