I have received this as a free trial for chickadvisor. I enjoyed the texture of the bar but no so much the taste. I found it not sweet so that may be a good thing for others. I did like the packaging as it is easy to pop in my purse or keep in the car for a snack . It did keep me full and I enjoyed the chocolate taste during my 3pm slump; I would purchase this again.
PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter is delicious!! I'm a busy, on-the-go mom to a toddler and infant. These bars are a life saver! They are filling and give me the energy I need to keep up and keep going! I was surprised by the texture. It's almost cake like. Nice for something different.
I tried these PowerBar ProteinPlus bars as part of the Chick Advisor program & was quite satisfied overall. Chocolate is my go-to flavour for just about anything, so I was really happy that I #gotitfree. I do find that a lot of healthier food options that come in chocolate &/or peanut butter variety end up tasting pretty fake, but I didn't find that to be the case with these protein bars, so that exceeded my expectations. There was a subtle hint of a crunch to it, but I would've personally liked to feel the texture of a few peanuts as well.
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to review this and another bar courtesy of Chick Advisor. The flavour of this bar is actually quite good! The bar is a little bit chalky in texture, which can happen with protein bars but it is not too bad at all. It is quite "fluffy" as far as density goes, where a lot protein bars can be very dense and hard to bite, this is quite the opposite which was a nice surprise. All in all I would probably repurchase this flavour specifically as it was quite tasty and pretty good nutritionally.
Thanks Chick Advisor! #gotitfree
I received the PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter bar to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club. #gotitfree
Low carb, low sugar protein bars are something that I consume quite often. They were a staple when I followed the Keto diet. I found in comparison to the others I have tried it, it was a lot softer. I tend to go for the chewier textured bars.
I found this flavour to be nice. It had a nice mixture of peanut butter and chocolate and it was pretty rich. I found it to have a taste similar to that of protein bars with chocolate in it...a noticeable soy flavour that some people tend to not like. I found it very enjoyable though and it had just the right amount of sweetness.
As for filling me up. I found it did an excellent job of that. It left me feeling satisfied and I could make it to my next meal without any issues.
I would buy this one again. The price is is significantly lower than other sugar reduced bars on the market.

I enjoyed the taste of this powerbar, although i wish it could have been more sweet
It contains alot of arificial sweetners (understandably so) -making me unsure whether it would be my first choice for a post-workout snack.
Who can say no to chocolate and peanut butter? This is a classic protein bar flavour but formulated with less sugar. I prefer less sweet products and this was great. Energy bars are still on the expensive side. Buying a large package yields some savings but I don't want to get sick of eating just one flavour so I rather buy them individually to make sure it stays fresh.
Powerbar Protein Plus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter gave my husband a pick up for that afternoon slump!
I'm not personally a fan of peanut butter, so I gave them to my husband for work. He loved them, and with it being reduced sugar, I think it's a great snack to have on a work break, before the gym, or just whenever you need a little boost (or want a yummy snack)
Depending on the price of these bars I would probably buy them again, and I would recommend them mostly to those who are worried about sugar intake.
Having never had the PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. It is definitely something I'll be getting at the store.
I should disclose right off the bat that I am a Registered Dietitian and I do not typically turn to protein bars as a first resort when trying to fuel up. With that said, everyone has had that crazy day where they JUST fit in a workout but do not have 1 extra second to make a snack or meal, let alone have time to sit and eat it...in those moments, I have reached for a protein bar. Before trying this bar, I took a peek at the ingredient list and unfortunately it is quite lengthy, which is not uncommon of a product like this, but I just think of foods with more than a handful of ingredients as "sometimes" foods. There is also quite a bit of artificial sweetener, and the sodium content is a bit high for my liking. It does have a whopping 20g protein, and 5g fibre which is great. Moving on to taste: I am always worried that sugar-free products will have that "artificial" taste and even though I could tell this protein bar contained sweeteners, they do a good job of making the flavour taste true to the name. The bar was very creamy, and had a melt-in-your-mouth quality which I enjoyed. It was also extremely filling- I ate half the bar and felt completely satiated. so I saved the other half for later. Overall, in keeping with my general rule, I wouldn't include this in my daily routine. However, in a pinch, I can definitely see myself grabbing this product to re-fuel after a workout on a super busy day.
