What makes Promax LS bars unique?
Unlike some other lower sugar protein bars that use maltitol (a sugar alcohol that can upset your stomach), artificial sweeteners (like sucralose), and incomplete proteins from animal bi-products (like gelatin), Promax LS provides an all natural lower sugar protein bar.
PromaxLS has 18 grams of complete, high quality protein, only 9 grams of sugar, is an excellent source of fiber, and contains stevia, an all natural non-nutritive sweetener. Promax LS is also gluten free, vegetarian, and contains no artificial sweeteners or animal bi-products.

Stevia is a plant (specifically, a member of the chrysanthemum family) native to portions of northeastern Paraguay. Its leaves contain glycosides which account for its incredible sweetness, and have been used to sweeten foods and beverages for more than 200 years.Stevia is used in PromaxLS as an all natural non-nutritive sweetener to make the bar taste great while containing only 9 grams of sugar. It is a natural alternative to artificial sweeteners like sucralose, saccharin, and aspartame.
What is soluble corn fiber?
The soluble corn fiber used in Promax LS is a natural fiber that is well tolerated, has a low glycemic response, and is used to replace sweeteners such as corn syrup or sugar, with only half of the calories.Soluble corn fiber is also an excellent source of dietary fiber and offers the health benefit of being prebiotic. A prebiotic feeds and stimulates the growth and metabolism of good bacteria aiding digestion and supporting the body’s immune system.
Why do the ingredients matter?
PromaxLS (lower sugar bar) ingredients were selected to work in conjunction with one another. While together they elicit a low glycemic response, there are sufficient carbohydrates to help transport the proteins into the body’s cells.The fiber complements the reduced sugar and a significant amount of protein to help produce lasting satiety. Soluble corn fiber has been shown to be well tolerated, helping to prevent gastric distress.

I have not eaten many protein bars in the past so I cannot share my thoughts on whether these bars taste better than others, but I will say that these bars were good tasting. Not too sweet and they did provide a kick of energy. Because I have not eaten a ton of these in the past, the flavor and texture was something that I was not used to at first. Thus my first bite was a bit chalky, but then as I ate more, my mouth did get more used to the taste and I did end up liking the flavor all-together.
I was surprised at looking out on the web to the number of different flavors that are available for people here. I can see these bars being a great pick-me-up during the day, snack after work or working out.
So, all-in-all, these were good, and will definitely give you a pick-me-up. Talking to people that eat these more often, I was told that you do have to try different varieties as every person has differing tastes and some do taste better than others!
