In my constant pursuit of better foods, I came across <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exo.co\" target=\"_blank\">Exo bars<\/a> which are made from cricket flour (ground up crickets) and other natural ingredients. I knew I had to try them!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.exo.co\" target=\"_blank\">Exo<\/a> makes the case that crickets are a highly sustainable source of protein that can help solve many of the problems associated with modern sources of protein and population growth &#8211; if only we could get over the idea that <strong>bugs are gross<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Exo bars come in 3 flavors &#8211; Cacao Nut, Peanut Butter and Jelly, and Cashew Ginger.<\/strong> All 3 contain 10g of protein in a 2.1 oz bar. That&#8217;s a decent amount of protein but they also contain a fairly high fat and sugar content. For example, the PB&amp;J version has 14g of fat and 18g of sugar so I wouldn&#8217;t call this a snack or something to eat regularly but you won&#8217;t find artificial sweeteners or high fructose corn syrup so that&#8217;s a plus.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/ExoBars.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"552\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/ate-bugs-purpose\/exobars\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/ExoBars.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1189,839\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Cerceo, Dan&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1396021670&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ExoBars\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/ExoBars-300x211.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/ExoBars-1024x722.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-552\" alt=\"ExoBars\" src=\"http:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/ExoBars-300x211.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/ExoBars-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/ExoBars-1024x722.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/ExoBars.jpg 1189w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_558\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/PBJexo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-558\" data-attachment-id=\"558\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/ate-bugs-purpose\/pbjexo\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/PBJexo.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"723,549\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Cerceo, Dan&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1396080852&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"PBJexo\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;PB&amp;#038;J Exo protein bar&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/PBJexo-300x227.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/PBJexo.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-558 \" alt=\"PB&amp;J Exo protein bar\" src=\"http:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/PBJexo-300x227.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/PBJexo-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bobbetterman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/PBJexo.jpg 723w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-558\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PB&amp;J Exo protein bar<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>So how do they taste?

If you didn&#8217;t know what was in these, there is nothing about the taste that would make you question the ingredients. But knowing what I was eating, I was constantly waiting for my gag reflex to kick in.
