Detour Bar is changing the snack game with their new Lean Muscle Protein Bites. I have worked with Detour in the past and was recently contacted to try their new line of Lean Muscle Bites. Today, I’m sharing my full review and perhaps hint, hint a giveaway!
How Detour Lean Muscle Bites Came About:
Detour talked with their fans about how they could further assist them with their daily protein needs and discovered that creating a bite sized snack would help fill a huge void. They then set out to create two outstanding flavors, and Cookie Dough was the first choice.
In searching for the next flavor idea to support the popularity of their Lean Muscle bars Detour wanted to do something different and special. It had to be nutritious, but they wanted to deliver an insanely delicious experience too. They decided to make a phone call — to Mars Inc., the makers of M&M’S®, America’s best-selling candy. Turns out, they loved the idea of putting M&M’S® into a high protein treat. Together, they set out to create a nutritious yet decadent bite. Chocolate Candy Crunch was born.

Here’s how they tasted!
Cookie Dough
Who doesn’t love cookie dough, right? Upon opening the wrapper, the first thing I noticed was the thick layer of gooey chocolatey chip cookie dough on top. Soft and chewy in texture (from the gluten free organic rolled oats), these were slightly reminiscent of the SMART Cookie Dough bar(which happens to be one of my favorites). These are much smaller in size(hence the name bites), and the bottoms are coated in decadent chocolate. Perfect for crushing those afternoon cookie dough cravings!
Chocolate Candy Crunch
For my M&M fans, Chocolate Candy Crunch has it all. From the thin layer of chocolate coating on the bottom, to the gooey cookie dough layer on top, and the crunch from the mini M&M’s on top. Almost like a monster cookie! I couldn’t stop myself at just one, definitely my favorite of the two!
Detour knocked it out of the park with these bites! If you are health conscious or lead an active lifestyle these bites are a perfect addition to your snack drawer.
Lean Muscle Protein Bites are available exclusively through Vitamin Shoppe. You can grab them in-store or right from the store’s website at vitaminshoppe.com.

I wanted to try this! M & M all the way!
The Chocolate Candy Crunch bar DEFINITELY reminds me of the nostalgic M&M Kudos bars (Google it).
Wow, I remember Kudos bars! I used to take them in my lunch when they first came out! Both flavors are really good but the Chocolate Candy Crunch is definitely a standout! xo
