Nothing amateurish about ProbarPosted Jul 7th 2006 7:14PM by Anne MetzFiled under: Snacks, Organic, Grains, Nuts/seeds, Fruit, America, Health & MedicalIn my never-ending quest to find the right sports food, this week I stumbled across Probar. "Probar?!" you ask. "Isn't that something you menace someone with?!" No, dear reader, that's a crowbar. I'm talking about Probar, the Utah-based whole food nutrition bar. Founded by high altitude food coach Chef Art Eggertsen, Probar is an all-natural alternative to the isolate- and mineral-infused bars eaten by runners, cyclists, backpackers, swimmers and other exercise masochists. With over 70% raw foods, Probar insists on keeping it real by taking real food -- peanut butter, raisins, sunflower seeds, coconut, cashews and so forth -- and putting them into an energy bar. The result? Something that's incredibly good for you when you're working hard, but doesn't taste like it came from a test tube. For me, it made the difference last Saturday between riding my bike the ten miles home and walking it home. So while it's no crowbar, Probar definitely packs a wallop.
