Legendary rapper Nas just invested in a company that makes protein bars out of crickets

We got an Exo sampler pack, which costs $13.

It has 4 flavors of bars...

...Peanut Butter and Jelly, Blueberry Vanilla, Cocoa Nut, and Apple Cinnamon.

Here are the ingredients for Peanut Butter and Jelly.

That's the first one I decided to try.

It felt sticky on first touch.

And I was not a fan of the overall look.

It reminded me a bit too much of an insect.

I took my first bite, which was not enjoyable.

This flavor tasted a bit too much like soy sauce, and smelled like it too. Maybe they were trying to counterbalance the peanut butter taste, but it ended up in a weird spot between sweet and savory.

I was not going to eat the rest of the bar.

But I decided to give Blueberry Vanilla a shot. And it already looked a lot better.

I loved this flavor. It had a pleasant fruity taste, and the vanilla wasn't too overpowering. It's actually one of the best protein bars I've ever had.

At around $3 per bar, they are a bit expensive, but so are most protein bars. The difference between the two bars makes me think the crickets weren't what tasted bad, that the formula was just off — at least for my taste buds. I would definitely have the blueberry vanilla one again.

Try out Exo for yourself.
