These are <em>sports<\/em> freezer bars, meaning they have electrolytes in them.<\/p>\n<h3>How are they?<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poweradesportsbars2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Powerade Sports Freezer Bars Bars\" title=\"poweradesportsbars2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, I have a hard time describing what they taste like. The Fruit Punch has a nondescript fruity flavor. Mountain Berry Blast has more of a noticeable berry flavor; it\u2019s probably raspberry, but since they didn\u2019t specifically call it raspberry, it could be anything.<\/p>\n<p>But even though I can\u2019t really describe them, I quite enjoy them! Both the flavor and the texture are as good as any freezer bar I\u2019ve had. They have a little bit of sports drink flavor, but I wouldn\u2019t detect it if I didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poweradesportsbars3.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Powerade Sports Freezer Bars Fruit Punch\" title=\"poweradesportsbars3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/poweradesportsbars4.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Powerade Sports Freezer Bars Mountain Berry Blast\" title=\"poweradesportsbars4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I compared the bars, both frozen and refrigerated, with their respective Powerade flavors to see how true they are. I think Jel Sert used the same flavoring, but they\u2019re not exactly the same: the freezer bars are better! They taste less watery and less medicinal. (I\u2019ve never thought of Powerade as tasting medicinal until I tried it next to the bars.)<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>I compared the nutrition facts of these with regular Powerade. Serving for serving, they are roughly the same, except that the bars have half of the sodium (I\u2019m guessing because salt affects the freezing point). The bars are like a concentrated version of Powerade. For your convenience, I have included the nutrition facts for both the freezer bars and regular Powerade below, including the vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>If you are going to be nibbling on freezer bars this summer and want some electrolytes to go with them, Powerade Sports Freezer Bars are a perfect option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.00<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 24 oz. box (16 bars)<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Dollar General<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (Freezer bars &#8211; 4 bars, 170 grams) 80 calories, 0 grams of fat, 75 milligrams of sodium, 20 grams of carbs, 19 grams of sugar including 19 grams of added sugars, 0 grams of protein, 18 milligrams of potassium, 2 milligrams of calcium, 4 milligrams of magnesium, 15% DV of niacin, 35% DV of vitamin B6, and 70% DV of vitamin B12.<\/p>\n<p>(Powerade &#8211; 12 fl. oz.) 80 calories, 0 grams of fat, 150 milligrams of sodium, 21 grams of carbs, 21 grams of sugar including 21 grams of added sugars, 0 grams of protein, 35 milligrams of potassium, 15% DV of niacin, 15% DV of vitamin B6, 35% DV of vitamin B12, and less than 2% DV of magnesium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are Powerade Sports Freezer Bars?
