Review: Scott's Protein Balls
Trail snacks are a dime a dozen these days, taking up more space at our local market than IPAs. But they're not all created equal. For our outdoor excursions, what we want is fewer carbs, less sugar, and more protein—all of which is hard to come by, even with so many options on the market. Enter Scott's Protein Balls, a delicious alternative to the usual suspects available on store shelves. Here's what the O/B crew had to say about them.
When I haul protein snacks for a hike, I'm expecting a mouthful of chalk. But not with Scott's Protein Balls— they have the typical crumbling consistency, but they taste like a gourmet dessert. It's a rewarding treat that noticeably fuels me for the next leg of the trail. —Georgia
It’s not often these days that we eat something with ingredients we can actually pronounce. Scott’s Protein Balls not only taste great and give a real energy boost, but they’re packed with wholesome, pronounceable ingredients a person can feel good about. —Adam
As someone who's unwillingly dairy-free, Scott's mint chocolate chip protein balls instantly took me back to childhood summers and mint ice cream cones. When nostalgic flavor meets 7 grams of protein packed into a dairy-, gluten-, and sugar-free bite, adulting becomes a little more fun. —Daniella
A tasty little snack that’s calorie-rich and packed with protein—exactly what I’ve been looking for, but have been unable to find. The peanut-butter cacao flavor tastes great, and is ideal for a quick breakfast or a mid-outing treat. —Mike
I’ve been keeping a few of Scott's protein balls on hand lately—they taste great, come in solid flavors, and the clean packaging makes them easy to eat on the go. No sticky wrapper or weird texture, just a quick, good-ingredient boost when I need it. —Tim
