Taste test: Epic's grass-fed meat protein bars

Nothing says protein bar like a bar made out of meat.

Yes. Meat bar.

Intrigued? We were.

Epic, created by Taylor Collins and Katie Forrest, is a gluten-free, soy-free and dairy-free snack made with organic turkey and grass-fed organic beef and bison. Each bar has 150 to 200 calories, 11 to 14 grams of protein and pronounceable ingredients.

"In order to continue eating animal protein on the go, we were forced to choose between conventionally raised animal jerky and canned meats filled with preservatives," the creators wrote on their website. "We refused to eat either and set out to create what would evolve into the modern day EPIC bar."
