    Not my first pick

    The taste was okay, not my favourite that’s for sure. Lots of sugar too. I do however love that this is from plant protein! Wish it had a bit more protein though.

    There is a mixture of reviews about this bar

    Thanks to xy stuff for the free protein bars you send me to try at home. I would say that I like somethings about this bar and there are some other which I don't like. For example the combination almond, dark chocolate and sea salt. I don't like sea salt at all but almonds are my favorite. I tried this protein bar but I didn't finish it because of the weird taste of sea salt.

    Difficult to eat

    I got this product for free to review from ChickAvisor Review Club. I found this bar really difficult to eat and couldn’t finish a whole one. It was very hard to bite, and I would need to break off in pieces in order to fit into my mouth because the bar is so thick. I would’ve liked it more if it had a chewier texture. The taste was alright but I wouldn’t spend my money on it.

    Good Snack Alternative

    I received this product free from XY Stuff to try and review. I thought it to be a good snack alternative. While I prefered some of the other flavor options I was given more, I still found this one enjoyable. It had a good taste, with minimum "protein bar taste" which I enjoyed.

    Powerbar

    I tried the dark chocolate peanut butter PowerBars and they were delicious! However, they were WAY too sweet. I appreciate that they used real sugar in the bars, as I avoid all alternative processed sweeteners. However, they should really cut down on the amount of sugar they use. The label says there are 10 grams of sugar, but they don't specify how much of that is naturally occurring in the other ingredients and how much is added sugar. It tastes as sweet as a candy bar, maybe more so. I personally don't like foods that are too sweet, unless it's an extra ripe peach or other fruit. On the bright side, this bar digested well and I felt full after eating it. The grandkids also liked it. However, this is not a product I would buy in the future. Candy isn't my thing.

    Interesting plant protein bar

    My husband (and I) tried this product as part of the XYStuff review club. We received the sample #gotitfree and were excited to taste test it.
    Initial response: ordinary bar, chocolate dipped, looks really healthy
    Food facts: loved the chocolate, nut and grain mixture. Good combination and bonus protein in the bar.
    Taste test: chewy, chocolatey, nutty, healthy tasting. Downside is that the bar is a little excessive sweet. Neither of us could finish the bar, and we needed water after to lessen the sweetness.
    This product is an acquired taste. But if you are going for the extra protein, I would recommend these bars.
    Another bonus is that the bars are gluten free and soy free!

    Not my favorite

    I received the bars for free to try and review. I did not like them at all. They were disgustingly sweet to me. I would definitely not buy them nor did I finish the samples. Each to their own but if sweet isn't your thing then steer clear.

    Too sweet for my tastebuds!

    I received this product for free from ChickAdvisor to try. I’ve had Power Bars before so was excited to try their new Plant Protein Bar. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to my expectations.

    The flavour was Almond, Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt so I expected a nice cocoa taste but instead it was super sweet. All I tasted was sugar and it reminded me of eating a rice crispie square. When I looked at the ingredients, the second one is cane sugar which doesn’t seem very healthy. I appreciate it gives you 10g of protein but don’t think it’s very healthy overall so if you’re looking for a healthy protein bar, this isn’t it. Won’t be buying this again!

    PowerBar Plant Protein Review:

    Thanks to ChickAdvisor I got to try these 3 awesome flavours of PowerBar’s plant protein bars. Thank you ChickAdvisor & PowerBar!! Now, I got it free but I’ll always be honest!

    This was my second favourite flavour: the Almond, Sea Salt and Dark Chocolate. My two year old seemed to love them all the same. She just wanted more! (They are that delicious!) I still was in disbelief that these were vegan, they certainly have the chocolate taste down!

    For the Almond, Sea Salt and Dark Chocolate I don’t think they aren’t really worth the calories. I know they are better calories than a chocolate bar, but they almost double some chocolate bars. I know they aren’t a candy bar and they have protein - which has calories; but I think they kinda fall between to two needs for me. The first being a sweet craving, and the second being a protein bar. They don’t seem to have enough protein to really be a protein substitute for me (maybe because they are vegan), and they are too high in calories to be a nutritious sweet fix.

    Great taste, not that much healthier

    I loved the taste of the Powerbar Plant Protein Almond, Sea Salt and Dark Chocolate bar! And while the bar itself promotes healthier eating, it really isn't that much healthier than a regular granola bar -- it's the sugar that does it in.

    (I received a free product in exchange for an honest review.)
