Are you preparing for an afternoon of adult beverage indulgence? If the weekend is near, the answer to this question for a large percentage of the population is an emphatic, YES! But what if you would rather not feel the effects of the alcohol too quickly? If you want to delay the inevitable buzz, then it makes sense to eat first and a snack food specially made for the job is SOBAR.
A Snack is all it Takes
As a rule, I always try to eat before I open my first beer of the day and I usually reach for meat, cheese, or some other high protein food. SOBAR is made for the task at hand. It contains 12 grams of protein per bar and this, along with other ingredients, helps to slow down alcohol absorption. No matter if your drink of choice is beer, wine, or cocktails, SOBAR is ready to assist.
SOBAR comes in three different flavors: Caramel Macchiato, Honey Peanut, and White Chocolate Almond. It matters not which flavor you select, the nutrition is consistent. You get the same 12 grams of protein and only 130 calories. There are no artificial sweeteners, no Stevia, and no sugar alcohols. For the best effect, the manufacturer recommends consuming about 5 to 15 minutes before you drink.
And the Taste?
Sampling SOBAR for the first time, the standout quality for me was the texture. I was expecting something crunchier, like a granola bar, but they are not like that. They have a somewhat gooey, chewy texture. And the taste? Well, it is okay, but nothing amazing. The flavor isn’t bad by any means, it just isn’t as tasty as I hoped.
Among the three flavors, I like the Caramel Macchiato the best and the Honey Peanut the least. I like the fact that the bars pack so much protein into such a small amount of food. And I like what they do, which is to help slow down an oncoming buzz so that you can go a little longer, enjoying your alcoholic beverage of choice while keeping your mind clear and your mental capacity intact.
Keep it Sober
Slowing the effects of alcohol is a good idea for those who imbibe and consuming a pair of SOBAR will certainly make a difference. I have tried them, and I can confirm that they do, indeed, help to delay the feeling of intoxication. Even if you don’t consume them for that specific purpose, they are still suitable as a high protein snack and the sugar content is generally low, with only 4 to 6 grams per bar, depending on the flavor.
I would like SOBAR more if it had a tastier flavor and was less chewy. But this snack food does fulfill its mission and it does help keep you feeling sober, longer. I recommend giving them a try, before you drink, for a more temperate social experience.
I love this. Sometimes when you decide to have drinks you’re not in a position to get food. These bars are great because they’re tasty and portable.
That’s interesting. I have heard not to drink on an empty stomach.
While I don’t drink, I love the thought of filling up on a good protein bar. I am going to keep my eyes peeled for Sobar the next time I shop.
Yes, even if you don’t drink, it is still a good choice for the protein boost it provides.
Ooh! This is such a smart product. I’m such a lightweight that I need to test this out. Thanks for the info!
That is probably the best thing about it- small, easy to take with you. And packed with protein!
I don’t drink too much but when I do enjoy more than two glasses of wine, this would definitely be handy! Never seen anything like it before.
Where was this when I was in my 20s?? LOL I would have definitely used it a lot back then.
Hhhhmmm….alright then! I will pass on this review to my bros! They still love their lager much!
Great new product to try! I love that it is small and easy to take with you, slip one or two in your purse for a healthy, delicious and quick snack anytime. Love that it also helps slow down alcohol absorption.
This sounds like a great protein bar! I like that you can just toss them in your purse and take them with you!
I don’t drink beers that much but I like your idea of what to eat before drinking beer.
This is such a cool solution to hangover woes. I need to try this for sure.
wow, thank you for sharing this product that is something good to try.
