Customer Reviews

Tastes ok lots of energy
I love these as a snack. When exercising hard, you can feel the extra energy and it lasts an hour or two. I've been ready to quit on the bike trail, eat one of these without stopping and am good to go for another hour or two. IMO, only fudge truffle and peanut butter taste ok.

best bar for dieters
This is great for dieters because the fat AND sugar are BOTH so low compared to most protein bars. The protein may even give some people energy.

I eat one bar a day instead of a meal, and it does fill me up, but with one bar, you aren't overeating, and stretching your stomach. If I just want a snacck, I have less than one bar, but one FULL bar (and water)= a FULL meal for me. I was surprised about that!

It tastes fine/good but the word truffle is a little ambitious, implying creamy inside. It is about as dry as most protein bars, but that turned out to be good because it helps you drink a full glass of water, further filling you up.

It does deserve 5+ stars because after just 3 DAYS with one bar a day, I seem to already taking off those 5 pounds I want to lose, and they say when you only want to lose a small amount its even harder. I also have my eye on that protein bar made for diabetics, since it has low sugar and low fat, though I'm not diabetic.

Great solution for people on the go or with short break times at lunch. Please skip those gimmicky slim fast bars and most other energy bars-if you check they have much higher fat!

BTW-if you are sig overweight and used to eating large meals, you will prob be okay with 1 1/2 bars as a full meal-not 2.

The protein bar of my choice
I have tried several protein/energy bars and came across this one recently. While searching for protein bars on a website, this bar showed up as the only choice that met my criteria of high protein and low fat. I ordered immediately on amazon and so far I have been quite happy with it.

+ High protein content, 20g in each bar.
+ Low fat content. This is a big plus for me. Only 8% of saturated fat (which is much less compared to other protein bars) and 2% cholesterol.
+ No added sugar.
+ Tastes great.
+ Cheap. The amazon deal of automatic monthly order saves even more.

So far I have tried only the 'fudge truffle' flavor. I'm going to try the other flavors too.
