Amazing Recovery Food
Pros: High Quality, good taste, noticably works, muscle gain, fat burn, prevents post-ride exhaustion
Cons: Expensive, limited flavour choices
"I had never been a fan of artificial energy/recovery foods until I was given these after some long rides with my Uncle. Now I wouldn't live without them. I used to get headaches (from sugar loss I assume) and a general feeling of weakness after really long rides. Just one of these bars after an epic ride (4 hours) and you feel completely fine, the feeling of exhaustion doesn't set in. Even better, you don't feel tired the next day so you can go out every day (I used to do every other day only, or maybe two out of three). I don't get those headaches anymore either. It's hard to conclusively attribute this to the bars, but I also noticed a significant fat loss (I guess it keeps your metabolism going after you've already burnt off all your carbs) and a small increase in muscle.
Now to the important stuff... flavours. The names of the "crisp" ones sound the most appealing, but they basically have a sandwich of rice crispies in them which I think are a bit mank and maybe not getting my money's worth! The chocolate fudge and vanilla coconut ones are great though. They don't taste quite like the description, but they're not that far off. I would definitely say they taste nice though.
P.S. These have a massive amount of protein in (30%). Unlike how they are described by other reviewers, these are for RECOVERY after your ride, not during or before exercise. You will be much better off with another type of bar than these if you want more energy whilst you're riding."

Yummy!
Pros: great taste
"This recovery bar does a great job. A high level of protein enables good supply of this essential element in order to rebuild muscle after heavy workout sessions. It helps recovery and enables you to go again the next day at a high level of training.
They taste great. I have tried a few flavours (chocolate, vanilla and, I think, some sort of chocolate/peanut butter mix) and they all taste good. More importantly, they are easily digestible, unlike one particular rival brand I have tried, so they don't make you feel too full."

Yummy
Pros: Durable, Comfortable, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"I've had some protein bars before and they have been just so shockingly gross to eat. I was expecting much the same thing with these - however was pleasantly surprised. While they may not be what you're looking for after a meal as dessert.. after a ride they were definitely enjoyable. Peanut-caramal flavour was excellent.
As for their job.. I wouldn't have a clue if they are working or not. But i assume they are considering the 30% protein?"

Scrummy!
Pros: High Quality
"I moved to a more protein based diet and needed a snack for the afternoon. On looking at the reviews I decided on these and I'm really pleased I did. They are really good, fill you up, don't melt and taste like a very naughty treat. I've now run out but couldn't see them on Wiggle so have gone for an alternative but if I'd had the chance I would have bought more"

Protein plus
Pros: High Quality, taste
"I find myself imagining eating the bar from about 4 hours into a long ride. Motivates me to keep going, get home, stretch and eat the protein bar. This is because I understand the protein is good for me, cost compared to other bars is good and the taste is great."

Chewy
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, easy to carry
Cons: very chewy
"These give a great after session protien hit. I've used them after conventional sports and surf/climbing sessions too. Taste fine but can be a bit heavy going on the chewing department (does that make be a lightwight). Easier to transport than mixed liquids but less easy to ingest. Worth keeping a few in the car glove box for emergencies."

Essential for me
Pros: irreplacable
"I've been consuming those for years now, about one after each work out or between work outs with high muscular activity. Recovery bars are essential for me (so are protein supplements), as I can't take decent meals with me all the time and anywhere ;-) They fill the gap between work outs and meals, they provide me with what I need right after each work out and they taste great."

something to look forward to
"These taste like Milky Ways... I almost look forward to one of these at the end of a hard workout. They seem to much of a treat to be doing you good as well.
IMHO, the chocolate bars taste almost as wonderful as the Ride Bars, but alll the other flavours are yuck."

"Was unsure about these at first, but very tasty. Normally i would have a shake after a long ride, but these are just as good and easier to use. These are also better at reducing the hunger for you fridge bandits."

good taste
Pros: Great Value
"For anyone who loves choc fudge flavour you should note that wiggle is selling plain choc not choc fudge.
Wiggle have done all the right things and offered a return but I opted to keep the plain choc version that was sent, they still taste pretty good.
Still for anyone who has had the choc fudge before, they are the best tasting protein bar I've ever had."
