    YUMMY YUMMY POWER BAR WITH REDUCED SUGAR AND EXTRA PROTEIN

    I received my Power Bar protein plus reduced sugar creamy chocolate peanut butter and it was amazing. Covered in Chocolate with a thick center of peanut butter goodness. These bars are amazing. My kids were asking me to buy them before we had even finished the first trial bar.....totally amazing. They were amazingly filling I would definitely tell my friends that they are worth every cent. We will definitely be buying these bars.

    Reduced sugar without comprising the taste!

    PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter may only have 2 grams of sugar but they did not compromise the chocolate flavour.

    Now as someone who has enjoyed protein bars before I am comparing powerbar to other brands and not to a chocolate bar as I don't believe that would otherwise be a fair review. In terms of competitor bars, I believe powerbars aren't as dry as other brands which is a definite bonus. The flavour is still quite consistent with what I expect from a protein bar as the chocolate/peanut butter flavour comes from the sweetener they add not sugar. I would also say the peanut butter flavour is the aftertaste.

    Overall, good flavour for a protein bar. However, they heavily rely on the sugar alcohol maltitol which means this is high in carbs. So although I would buy these again and even recommend the brand to friends, I would suggest they only be used when burning a lot of energy in a work out.

    I'm not sure I would by this product

    I have tried the creamy chocolate peanut butter and the lemon poppy seed and I just wish there were something of texture in them. Peanuts maybe. The texture left something to be desired. However I can say that you wouldn't be able to tell these are reduced sugar! They're sweet as full sugar energy bars, so if it's the lack of sugar you can't wrap your head around I'd grab a pack for sure!

    Tastes good, texture is different

    I received this product through #chickadvisor and #gotitfree, all opinions stated below are true.

    The texture is similar to PowerBars that I have tried in the past, and I agree with other users that it does feel a bit gritty after the second bite. The taste is great and I loved the chocolate peanut butter flavour, but I found halfway through I was bored of the texture and didn't enjoy eating it.

    However I do like the ingredient list and the nutrients. 20g of protein and 5g of fibre is great and helps me hit what I need in a day. It also fills me up and works great as a pre/post workout snack when I want a full meal. I may repurchase for the protein and fibre, but I would have to get used to the texture of the bar first.

    Not bad for a quick snack!

    I received this flavour and the lemon one for free to try, and I definitely enjoyed the chocolate peanut butter over the lemon. The texture still wasn't great in my opinion, but the flavour made up for it.
    I won't be buying these all of the time, but if i'm ever in a rush this would be a good choice.

    I would but this again!

    My favorite part about this bar is that it has 20 grams of protein and only 200 calories! Most protein bars are very high in calories and I love that I can eat this, get the protein I need without the excess calories. It also tastes great, doesn't have the chalky take of most bars. Very good and I will be buying again!

    Great nutritional value but taste not for me

    I was excited to be given the opportunity to try PowerBar ProteinPlus through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. #gotitfree.
    I couldn't wait to try this flavour- I love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, but the flavour didn't do anything for me. The taste just can't compete with other varieties I have tried. So this particular flavour would be a pass for me.
    There are some great positives with this bar, it contains 20 grams of protein and only contains 2 grams of sugar and comes in at 200 cals. This bar would be a good on the run snack or for a post work out refuelling.

    A healthy snack

    Yum is all I have to say. I don't often purchase protein bars so I was happy to try the PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter. To me it's a nice little treat of chocolate taste with benefits. I work out a lot so I need a lot of protein in my diet but sometimes I am just too busy to get the proper meal in me. This helps a lot when you are on the run and want a quick something before or after a work out. Best part about these bars is that they are 20 grams of protein, low in sugar and gluten free so everyone, even someone with food sensitivities can enjoy them. I like having my bar in my purse in case I get busy and enjoy it after a work out. I will definitely look into getting some of these.

    Quite good, but..

    It was nice to see a bar lower in sugar and carbs as I follow a lower carb/sugar lifestyle. This is a good on the go snack, with a great, soft texture. The taste was pretty good, but I found it a little more artificial tasting, most likely due to the sweeteners they use to keep it low in sugar. That being said, I did enjoy it overall and I found it could satisfy different diets, as it's not that high in fat and has quite a bit of protein(20 grams). I would definitely reccomend this product, especially for those looking to take away some of the sugar in their diet.
