Great nutritional value, but...

The item was received free as part of my being on the ChickAdvisor review panel.

Pros: Soft, chewy texture
Not too sweet
Natural tasting
At 200 calories/bar, it is relatively low in calories
20 grams of protein/bar
Provides 11% of dietary fiber

Cons: Dry, powdery taste to every bite

Overall, this is a protein bar that I would eat (but not go out of my way to buy) again if I need something quick and nutritious when I am on the run. Even though there are many pros to it, I cannot get over the dry, powdery taste that it has.

I much prefer this flavor over the Lemon Poppy Seed which I also reviewed. For some reason, this does not taste as powdery as the other one.

Great tasting but reduced sugar? Maybe not.

My first impression of the protein bar is that it looked very tasty! The packaging is beautiful and eye-catching. I had expected it to taste similar to a peanut butter cup and it is very close! They are pretty sweet so if you don't have a sweet tooth this may not be the protein bar for you. I was able to get through the whole thing despite the sweetness. It is heavy in weight which makes it seem like it is full of protein! It came in handy today as I forgot my lunch for work so I grabbed the protein bar from the cupboard before heading out of the door - I wouldn't say it completely satisfied my hunger but it definitely stopped my stomach from growling and somewhat suppressed my hunger. I would definitely recommend these for moms on the go or even just to keep in your hand bag if you have a busy on the go lifestyle! I would buy again - hopefully they come out with different flavors that aren't so sweet (makes me think what the regular amount of sugar would be since these are reduced sugar?)

No lie - I was pretty disappointed with this one. I received the bar as part of the product review club, and was totally looking forward to try it. My go-to flavors, when it comes to protein shakes/bar is peanut butter. I felt that the texture was too soft ... to the point where i could probably swallow without much chewing. Also, I didn't think there was enough "peanutty flavor". I would likely pass on this one in the future. There are tons of other products on the market that taste better.

Ok so I was very excited to try out this bar but I regretted it right after I took that first bit. The packaging is beautiful and when you open the package the bar looks amazing but... this is what I didn't like. The bar was chunky I was expecting to see as shown in the picture but instead, I go something that tasted horrible couldn't keep in down and I, of course, did not finish the bar. But the packaging is brilliant, the blue color attracts your attention!

Good amount of protein, and is a great alternative to a shake post workout. Taste is ok, its a bit dry, but good chocolate peanut butter flavour. I do prefer other bars to this one though for more natural ingrediants

Nice to have less sugar as an option and the texture was appealing. It tasted good, but was a little heavy so I'm not sure how it would be for energy before activities. No bad aftertaste which is a plus. Chocolate and peanut butter together is always a win!

While I liked the idea of this protein bar, it just wasn't what I was hoping it was. It was more like a cake, than a bar. I wish it had actual chunks of peanut or oats or something to give it some texture. I did like that it wasn't too sweet. It left me feeling energized, but not feeling like I had a full stomach.

PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter.....needs some sugar.
I find protein bars are either a hit or miss. PowerBar definitely missed the mark on this one. While the peanut butter was better than the lemon poppy seed it still wasn't great, not even good in fact. I wanted to like them due to the nutritional benefits and the great source of protein but I could not get pass the taste and the after taste. I would describe it as chewing on chalky paste. If you're looking for just a boost of protein for a workout and flavors don't matter much then I would definitely recommend PowerBar protein Bars. However if you like to enjoy the taste of the food you eat then this is one I would skip.

PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter kept me going during my trip in Europe and gave me the pick-me-up I needed to feel energized for my full day of walking and exploring. I'm not a fan of the taste, and isn't as nutritious as they advertise, but has great chewy texture, and is super convenient to have on hand as a snack.

Thank to chickadvisor for giving me a chance to try this product for free #gotitfree
First off, this product tastes like your typical protein bar. All have that distinct chalky taste that stays in your mouth. For a reduced sugar product it does not taste any less sweet than comparable protein bars which is a plus. I would buy this again but in a different flavour.
