It really does not taste like a protein bar at all (so many of them have an artificial flavour). I like that it also provides 28% of your daily fibre intake as well.
Overall, this is a well-rounded bar nutrition-wise and I will definitely be buying this again.

I have tried a few dry shampoos, but find that they generally leave my hair feeling sticky and gross. This was one of the better ones that I have tried.
It smells great, is pretty easy to use and didn't leave my hair feeling super sticky like other brands. Overall, it was a good dry shampoo, I am just not a dry shampoo fan in general.
I would say this works as well as Batiste and smells even better.

Wow, I was really impressed with how tasty this bar was! I received it in a sample kit and put it aside as I didn't think that I would like it very much.
I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it! The raspberry flavour is subtle but authentic. You can see the seeds in the bar and it is definitely not an artificial raspberry taste.
I loved the hazelnuts as well. I find that most nut bars are almond based, and some contain peanuts. So it was a nice change with hazelnuts and they pair really well with the raspberries and chocolate.
I am not a dark chocolate fan in general, but I liked that the bar was not very sweet, and I attributed a lot of this to the use of dark chocolate versus a milk chocolate.
Overall, this bar is a great choice and with 15 g of fat per bar it is really filling!

I was excited to try this bar, as I love anything with cinnamon, and it has a good amount of protein. Unfortunately I didn't taste any cinnamon flavour at all, and I could feel the maltitol having an affect on my body after a few bites.
The bar is beautiful, it is iced and it has nice swirl pattern. The texture of the bar is also nice, it is slightly chewy, but in a good way (it reminded me of a Wonderbar). Unfortunately there was no discernible flavour and it was overly sweet.
I would skip this bar and try another one.

I was disappointed when I tried this bar this morning, it has a very fishy taste and was not good at all. I have been eating a variety of protein bars lately and this one is at the bottom of my list.
I have been taking Omega 3 fish oil capsules for over 10 years, so I am used to the occasional fish burp and it doesn't bother me anymore, but this bar is like eating fish burps over and over. Unfortunately I cannot recommend it.

These are one of the best protein cookies that I have tried so far! They do not have a strange aftertaste, they are not overly sweet and they had a nice, light texture. They reminded me of a macaron or meringue as they were nice and crunchy, but then melted in my mouth.
These cookies are not as high in protein as other offerings, but the ingredients are very clean and they offer a satisfying crunchy and lightly sweet snack.
They are definitely worth trying, and as a bonus are gluten free!

I have been really impressed with the Simply Protein line of products. I am a fan of the bars and decided to try the crunch options as well.
The raspberry and coconut crunch flavour is REALLY good! It reminded me of the taste of Cap'n Crunch Berries. It is not as sickly sweet, in fact, it is sweet enough to curb your sweet tooth without making you feel like you have overindulged.
The clusters are light and crunchy and the true raspberry flavour really comes through. These are a great snack option to have on hand to help with sugar cravings as they will satisfy the craving and give you protein and fiber to fill you up. Highly recommend.

I tried this protein bar for breakfast and overall, it was pretty good. I don't think I would buy it again, unless it was on sale as it was $3.99.
This is a vegan protein bar, so it has the typical pea protein base. The texture was pretty smooth and the bar smelled great when I first unwrapped it. I didn't taste cinnamon though, to me it was just a nice, spicy bar.
The pieces of pecans added a really nice texture and it was not overly sweet, which I really appreciated.
It was a little bland, but it was a very clean bar that offers an amazing amount of protein and fiber per serving. I also found it very filling.

This is one of the many protein bars that I have been trying lately. I was having a sugar craving in the early afternoon and decided to try this bar.
I was really impressed with the texture, the filling is smooth (not gritty) and the chocolate covering is pretty good. The only downsides to this bar (for me) are that it is high in sugar alcohols and smells really strongly of them. Also it is low in fiber, providing only 4 g per bar.
I would try this again if it was on sale, but I have other bars that I prefer to snack on regularly.

I am trying to get more protein in my diet and since I'm not a a huge meat eater, I have been trying a lot of protein snacks.
I saw the Cookie+ Protein cookies at the Circle K when I went to get gas at Esso and decided to try the oatmeal Raisin.
The first thing that I will point out is that it is still a cookie. It is high in calories and therefore carbs, but the ingredients are a little cleaner than a typical store bought cookie and there is some added protein.
Overall, the taste was good! It is a soft cookie, but the oatmeal gives it a nice chewy texture. It is not overly sweet (which I have found with a lot of protein snacks), but I did notice that it does not smell great. It's hard to describe, but it almost has a malty/alcohol smell (though it tastes fine). It is also important to keep in mind that it is a large Starbucks-sized cookie and the nutritional facts on the package are only for half of the cookie.
Though the taste is good, I think I would be more likely to eat a real oatmeal cookie and really enjoy it, then just have a small protein shake with it (or maybe a boiled egg) for added protein.
