IQBAR Brain and Body Plant Protein Bars - Peanut Butter Chip - 24-Count Low Carb - Gluten Free, High Fiber, Vegan Snacks - Low Sugar Meal Replacement

I got the chocolate lover's pack and the banana nut pack. The banana nut, to me, tasted very non-banana-ish. It was more of a spiced chewy thing. IMO, the peanut butter chip and almond butter chip bars tasted pretty much the same. All of them were flavorful, fresh, and doable (I mean, we've all had really bad protein bar experiences, right? These are pretty good on the protein bar scale). I think the chocolate sea salt bars are the most palatable. They're more brownie-like than protein-bar-like. I'm not saying you'll mistake them for a luscious homemade brownie, but I do think they disguise themselves and rise above other bars.I like that these pack a protein punch and that they're not loaded with sugar or mystery sweeteners that end with "itol", and they don't taste like pulverized figs. They break apart nicely and don't act like protein taffy. I recommend them and plan to keep buying them for myself.

**Updated Review -9/29/2021-**I'm finally submitting an updated review. I was sent a sample variety box from the Co-Founder. I was hesitant about these bars at 1st but gradually tried each. Indeed they did make changes. I gotta say, great improvements. The flavors are much better than before and have more of a moist, yet not oily, oatmeal/soft-like texture. Normally I like my bars cold but these are very good at room temperature. I went ahead and tried a bit of the remaining ones. I'll go through each favor.1) Matcha Chai: I didn't even know they had this flavor. It's a new one to me. The matcha flavor is there and on point. It's a flavor I'm not used to but it might grow on me. I definitely like the ingredients this one has.2) Blueberry Lemon: Far better, strong blueberry and lemon flavor with blueberry bits.3) Blueberry: This had a deeper blueberry flavor, a better improvement. Good bits of blueberry.4) Banana Nut: Definitely better, the banana nut hits the taste buds quickly.5) Almond Butter Chip: I'm an almond and peanut butter lover and this one is quite good. May end up one of my favs. I did taste the almond butter quite well and the chocolate chips taste good.6) Peanut Butter Chip: A solid improvement. The peanut butter flavor hit me a bit later than the almond butter. Not really a bad note, the peanut butter flavor is there. Peanut butter chocolate tends to be my favorite flavor so this may end up on the top for me.7) Chocolate Seasalt: Although I'm normally not a fan of flavored bars with sea salt. this is far better than before. Good chocolate flavor and sea salt is there.On another note, I like their branding. The box shows what the bar actually looks like versus other brands showing some indulging treat of what it suppose to taste like. They even show videos of breaking apart the bars.And there you have it. Nice improvements IQ Bars. I can see these now as a good alternative choice for me.**Original**I've tried many different types of protein bars, starting from whey and switching to plant protein. I've seen recent reviews mentioning these bars taste better due to a new/better formula but these are very bland in flavor. I'm at the close point of giving this a 2 star.I give protein bars a good try and see how my tastebuds adjust to them. My tastebuds normally adjust well to new brands I try. The problem is these bars fail in the 1st impression in flavor. Even at a health standpoint, it shouldn't compromise flavor. I bought both variety packs, the chocolate and fruit lovers. Both so far are very bland and I just plan to choke these down so I don't waste the money but also to give these a full complete try. Maybe I got a bad batch but then that's also a problem. If IQBAR has really improved their bars, needs to be consistency across the board. Everyone is different, you may or may not like these. I wanted to try all the flavors but so far none are my favorite. I get health and nutrition, but not cutting corners.So here is my overall:Price: 3 - Avg/Fair - Price is around average imo compared to most plant protein bars but I've had better.Taste: 1.5 - Very bland - 1.5 - These bars may be the blandest bars I've had yet or at least in 2nd place which is a shame because also included in the box is a little sheet saying "we improved our bars".Texture: 3 - Semi Dry/soft - I'm fine with the texture. It has somewhat of a semi-moist granola texture.Ingredients: 4 - The main reason I decided to try, the ingredients look good overall. They look like a good alternative choice.Packaging: 5 - Packaging was great. Clean box design, no reckless handling, and bars in good shape.If you plan to try, I recommend one of the variety packs and hope you enjoy them. Unfortunately, these are leaning to a no-go for me. Maybe in the future that will change.

Bars arrived in excellent condition, the chocolate brownie and the peanut butter were both very tasty, the almond butter chip not so much as it was sweeter than the others and had an odd aftertaste that did not appeal to me, perhaps too much stevia? The other bars are not too sweet and the two flavors I like I will def buy again and I will check out some other flavors as well. These are a healthy snack that is satisfying.

I recently tried the Chocolate Lovers Keto Protein Bars from IQ Bar, and I have to say, they offer a lot for those looking to maintain a healthy diet without giving up on taste. Here's a breakdown of what to expect:Taste: AwesomeThe first thing you'll notice is the taste. These bars manage to deliver a rich chocolate flavor that's quite satisfying, especially for something that only contains 1g of sugar. It's a great option for those who have a sweet tooth but are trying to keep their sugar intake low.Nutritional Value: ImpressiveWhat stands out about these bars is their nutritional profile. They're low in carbs, which is perfect for anyone following a keto diet or looking to reduce their carb intake. Additionally, the fact that they can act as a meal filler is quite impressive. They're substantial enough to keep you full between meals, making them a convenient snack for busy days.Ingredients and Quality: Top-NotchIQ Bar has done a great job with the quality and choice of ingredients. The bars are non-GMO, gluten-free, and dairy-free, catering to various dietary needs and preferences. It's clear there's a focus on health and wellness, which is commendable.Overall ImpressionThe Chocolate Lovers Keto Protein Bars from IQ Bar are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a healthy snack that doesn't skimp on taste. The nutritional benefits and quality ingredients make these bars a worthwhile addition to your snack rotation, especially if you're following a keto diet or simply seeking healthier snack options.

I love IQ bars, they are a great snack if you are doing keto or have certain dietary restrictions. My favorite is the almond butter one. However I did not love this flavor combination. I will admit it is taking me FOREVER to finish this box because it is not my favorite and there are so many of them. Personally, I suggest buying their sample pack first to try all their flavors THEN purchase the boxes of the ones you like.So a recap: product is good, this particular flavor (in my opinion) is meh.

These bars taste great, however, each time I would have one bar in one sitting I would end up being constipated. For that reason, I will not repurchase.

I was looking for a low carb, low sugar, high protein bar that has more natural ingredients and still tastes good. These bars are super tasty and I like that there isnt a bunch of unpronounceable junk in them. All the flavours I have tried so far are good.

Amazing and delicious keto/vegan protein bar. Truly excellent product. Sadly no longer available on Amazon.

These were actually really tasty. Right amount of sugar and chocholate for me. And more importantly did not break me out of ketosis. And they're vegan!!! Will defo buy again.

Highly recommended! really filling and healthy for an on the go snack or meal
