Amy Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Has anyone seen these? I just came across them on Pinterest. Looks like the beef and turkey might be compliant. Bison has sugar. I think I'm going to order the trial pack for emergency snacks! https://epicbar.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 They look interesting but I would want to see an ingredients list before ordering. I didnt see it on the site but I am on my phone so that could be why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtandi Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 buffalo has bacon with brown sugar, the other two have lactic acid starter...no idea what that is, might be totally fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 According to Dr Google, lactic acid starter is either from milk, beets or corn. No clue if its okay, but it isnt on the prohibited list. Have you looked at Primal Pacs? They are W30 approved. They arent bars but they make a good emergency snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtandi Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I bought primal pacs they're good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillian Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I was told lactic acid starter is a-okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerrox Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I trekked downtown to the Gourmet Garage to find them. I got two of each flavor -- I finished my W30 yesterday so Bison is OK -- and have so far I tried the beef one. It's...interesting. The primal pacs are OK but I don't love them and was mad when one package went moldy after a few days So this seemed like a good alternative for pre- or post-workout nutrition - not as a meal replacement! I've only had the Beef flavor so far. They are kind of the texture of larabars without being sweet or sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoJo09 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 These were actually mentioned in another post a few weeks ago, and I was intrigued so emailed the company. They replied within a few hours and were really nice. Unfortunately they can't ship internationally yet, so I can't try them. I'm imagining they're a bit jerky-ish in flavour?

gingerrox Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Not as salty as jerky. I actually think I'd like them better if they were, but maybe the one with bacon will solve that "problem." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juice06870 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I think these are excellent. I came across them a few weeks ago and have since ordered about 5 boxes from them. You are correct that the Bison bar is non-compliant for the purposes of the whole30 due to the small amount of sugar that is used, however I think you would be ok to consume it outside of the whole30 program since it's really only a trace amount. You have tried the beef, so I won't comment on it (I quite like it). But I was really pleasantly surprised by the turkey bar. Dried turkey just doesn't sound very appetizing to me, but I was quite happy with it. All of the bars have been moist and have just just the right amount of flavor. They have been a life saver at 5am when I need a pre workout snack that has some protein but isn't a leftover or something less appetizing. Also as a late afternoon snack at work or on the weekends when i am out of the house somewhere, since they are individually wrapped, they are easy to carry around. If you are still undecided, order the 3 bar variety trial pack and see what you think. I have ordered twice from them, and both times my boxes arrived within a couple of days, very fast shipping. Plus I think the wrappers and boxes are pretty cool looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerrox Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 A friend tried a bite of my turkey bar and she LOVED it and wants to buy a whole box - after one bite! I think they are probably the best food option you can hope to get in bar form, but I'm not over the moon for them. Maybe the Bison will turn me around.

KathyV Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I found them at my Whole Foods store. They are similar to jerky and I like them better. But not all of them are compliant, you have to read the labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
