Hello friends!
I have not been posting regularly for a while, mainly because COVID has kept me from traveling or (ironically) having free time! Fortunately, I was able to do some backcountry camping late this summer and will be posting some updates on backpacking meals, underrated national parks, and any musings that come to mind.
For now, I wanted to share another review from the Remedy+ world. If you are into CBD, you might have seen my reviews on Remedy+ products before: The DROP, the SHOT, and the CAP. I have a referral code if you’re interested in adding some performance-boostin’, spicy-tastin’, brain-fog-clearin’ CBD into your routine. This is the highest-quality and most affordable CBD that I’ve come across in a while, so enjoy.
In addition to Remedy+’s CBD products, you can also buy The BAR, a hemp protein bar for relaxing, performing, and recovering. Remedy+ was kind enough to gift me a package of these bars, so here are some of my thoughts!
Quick FAQs About Remedy+ The Bar
Ingredients and nutritional information for ya!
How Much Protein Is In The Bar?
The soy protein nuggets and hemp protein give you 7g protein in every bar. I (a 5’8″ lady weighing around 140 pounds) need just under 50g a day, so The Bar is a great way to sneak in some extra protein after a workout, in the morning, or as dessert.
What Kind of Berries Are In the Bar?
Cranberries! I love cranberries in everything, which might explain why I’m such a big fan of these bars. In addition to cranberries, The Bar also contains raisins. I’m not a raisin person, but I didn’t even notice them!
Does It Contain CBD?
No! CBD and hemp protein come from the same plant, but are very different ingredients. CBD comes from the hemp plant, while hemp protein is derived from the seeds of said plant. Hemp protein is less refined than other types of protein, and is a great source of fiber and essential amino acids. CBD, on the other hand, interacts with the body in a way that reduces pain and stress. If you want mental clarity, try CBD products. If you want to up your physical performance, try hemp protein products.

Is It Vegan?
While hemp protein is a favorite among plant-based eaters, The Bar itself is not vegan. It contains butter and honey.
My Review: Remedy+ The Bar
You know those two-bite brownies that are very delicious but also very addictive? These protein bars are a good way to wean yourself off these (or other chocolate) treats. (I ate…a lot…of those brownies over the past few months at home, so I’m happy that I found an alternative.)
If you put these unwrapped these protein bars and put them on a plate at a party, people would just think that they are some rich brownies. They would have no idea that they’ve got 7g hemp protein and only 190 calories.
I wouldn’t say that one protein is more delicious than the other, but I can tell you that the hemp protein within The BAR isn’t super noticeable. The flavors that stick out to me are rich chocolate and cranberries. Maybe you get a hint of “I’m eating a plant-based protein!” but it doesn’t stick around for long. The bars are literally the size of my palm, so they pack and punch but don’t weigh you down.
Overall, I would recommend these bars to anyone who is looking for a healthier alternative to chocolate snacks. I keep them on my kitchen table with other snacks, protein powders, and goodies that I get from my monthly Clean.Fit box.
Where To Buy The Bar
Walmart shoppers can just add The Bar to their next shopping list and skip any brownies or chocolate goodies that don’t have a solid amount of protein. You can buy The Bar on eBay if you prefer a more digital experience. They’re coming to Amazon soon, so keep your eyes peeled for these and other Remedy+ products.

Overall, I give these bars a 10/10. I really have no complaints: they’ve got a good amount of protein, they taste great, and they’re the perfect size for an on-the-go boost. Heck, bring them on your next camping trip! (I’ve got some other packing tips coming up in future blog posts – keep your eyes peeled for them.)
