Pure Protein Bars, High Protein, Nutritious Snacks to Support Energy, Low Sugar, Gluten Free, Chocolate Peanut Butter, 1.76oz, 12 Count (Packaging May Vary)

Good, not great
These are good but not great. No real detectable peanut butter taste. It’s hard with protein bars, but I feel they’re at least a little healthier than candy bars. I gave these 5 stars for being good in the context of balancing taste/flavor with protein.

Be wary of Sorbitol.
I ate two of these everyday for about three weeks on a bulk to gain muscle. They taste pretty good for what they are and the amount of protein for the cost is much better than average for a bar. The downside for me was that after a while the sorbitol starting giving me gut issues and some depression. Both symptoms went away nearly instantly after stopping this. I might still have one or two of these per week, but they are not suited for regular use.I would recommend monitoring your digestive health with any of the alcohol sugars (the ones that end in “ol”) Not all people will have that issue, but its good to keep an eye on.

BEST. BAR. EVER.
If you are looking for a protein bar that is not overloaded with carbs and sugars, like most protein bars are these days, you have come to the right place. I have Type 2 diabetes, so the first thing that I look at on a nutrition label is the sugar content. Most protein and energy bars have so much sugar in them that you might as well be eating a Snickers bar. This bar has the lowest amount of sugars (2g with 6g of sugar alcohol) and carbohydrates (16g) that I have found anywhere. The vast, vast majority of “protein” bars have WAY more carbs than they do protein. This bar is a very rare exception in that regard as well.At a fairly light 200 calories, Pure Protein may not be a complete “meal replacement”, but it definitely makes for a great snack for those wishing to stay on a high protein diet and not send their blood sugar levels flying through the roof. It is a good source of sustainable energy and the taste isn’t too bad. I would definitely never confuse it with a peanut butter cup. The overall taste is a bit bland and the chocolate is darker than the milk chocolate you will find in most candy bars. Still, if you have a craving for chocolate or something sweet, these bars are satisfying enough.I will upload a photo of the nutrition label for this product, since it doesn’t seem to be included in the description for whatever odd reason. There are no substantial numbers of vitamins or minerals in this product, so it definitely does not replace a multi-vitamin supplement or most protein shakes. It does include a disclaimer about sugar alcohols possibly causing intestinal discomfort. If you are only eating a single bar at a time, I have not known this to be a problem though. If you eat a few of them you will most likely see some slight discomfort though.Another odd disclaimer on the label mentions, “Partially Produced with Genetic Engineering”. As far as I know, manufacturers are not forced to disclose this fact in the United States, but they may be in Canada, where these bars are produced. Pretty much any processed foods are apt to contain GMOs. Typically, you are just never told about it though. At least Pure Protein is being up front about it. These bars also contain Sucralose. Some people do not react well to this ingredient. As a diabetic, I use Sucralose often though and do not have any side-effects unless I consume way too much of it at once. There is also some soy, but other than that it is absent a lot of scary sounding chemical ingredients.If you are looking to snack while controlling your blood sugar levels, I can’t recommend this product highly enough. If you are only concerned with taste, buy a Snickers bar. With 20g of protein and a minimum of sugars and carbs, this is one of the healthiest snacks you will find that tastes good and satisfies your sweet tooth. They are expensive from the perspective of cost/grams, but you are not going to find a better deal when it comes to quality protein in a compact, portable, highly tasty form.

Tastes Good…Finally!
Finally found a protein bar that tastes really good. Bought choc./peanut butter. Almost reminds you of the texture of a candy bar. Worth trying if you are in the fence!
