Lenny & Larry seem to be going through a bit of an identity crisis with these protein bars. They're not super high in protein, they're not keto, they're not low calorie, and they.... don't taste good.
NuSkool Krunch bars won't blow you away, but as a plant-based bar with minimal ingredients, they're a great option in the "clean" bar space.
Promax protein bars are pretty average as far as taste is concerned, but their soft texture is pleasant compared to most overly chewy options out there.
Ignite protein bars are compared to Rice Krispies Treats, but they fall very flat in terms of flavor.
I really wanted to love these plant-based protein bars, but they were way too dry & chalky for me to recommend.
Do Pure Protein Candy Bar Bites actually taste like candy? Not exactly. They're essentially just tiny protein bars, but they are slightly tastier than regular pure protein bars.
Barebells has taken their beloved protein bars and somehow made them... better? These are truly the most candy bar-like protein bar out there.
Power Crunch Bars are great for a cheap high-protein snack that's different from most protein bars out there, but the flavors won't blow you away.
ALOHA protein bars are some of the better plant-based protein bars I've tried, and they are the perfect introduction to plant-based eating if you are new to that world. The flavors are great for ANY protein bar, not just plant-based bars.
Fit Crunch Bars have been one of the leaders in the industry for quite some time, and based on the texture of these bars, I can see the appeal. However, the flavor is simply too artificial for me to truly enjoy these bars.
Zing bars are a great plant-based and gluten-free option, and I can definitely recommend them on flavor alone. Unfortunately, the protein content is much lower than other options out there, preventing this from becoming a top-tier vegan protein bar.
PB2 is a quality product, but their protein bars tell a different story. These bars are dense, dry, and have a really subpar flavor.
I typically do not enjoy Lenny & Larry's products, but these bars surprised me. While they're not insanely high in protein, the flavor and texture is awesome, especially for a plant-based bar.
Quest Hero bars are a great change of pace from regular Quest Bars. The flavors won't blow you away, but their unique texture makes these really enjoyable protein bars.
There's no denying that MET-Rx bars are fun, and if you need a high-calorie option, these might be a good choice for you. But when compared to the other options available today, these are only average in almost every single category.
SInless Snacks delivers a keto-friendly snack that is definitely reminiscent of Rice Krispies Treats, but the difference in texture and slight artificial aftertaste will leave you wishing for a bit more.
I absolutely love Nick's light ice cream, but their protein bars tend to tell a different story. While the texture of these bars is awesome, the flavor doesn't quite hit the mark.
Think! bars are pretty underwhelming, but considering their low price tag, they may be worth trying in a pinch. You can do worse, but you can also do much better.
If you like peanut M&M's, there's no reason you wouldn't love these candies. You can definitely taste a slight artificial flavor, but I'd put this at about 90% of the real thing.
Protein Rice Krispies sound great in theory, but this version just ends up tasting like a chewy cereal bar. It's decent, but not close to the marshmallow treats we all know and love.
Pure Protein bars were one of the original protein bars on the market, and they have stood the test of time. They were my introduction to protein bars many years ago, and I think they are perfect for that.
These Special K protein bars are surprisingly delicious and eat like a regular cereal snack bar. The protein content isn't overly impressive, but the taste and texture are both very pleasant.
Flavor Tried: Vanilla Price: $28.99 for 10 ($2.89 each) Nutrition: 200 Calories,...
These Grab The Gold snack bars are much more of a "health food" bar then they are a protein bar, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. They have well-rounded macros, clean ingredients, and a great amount of sweetness... I was pleasantly surprised by these.
