    For a protein bar, and all the food value packed in a small package is great. I got PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter free to try #gotitfree, and it was much better than the lemon poppyseed one that accompanied it. It's just the right amount of sweet, and a good combination of flavours.

    The chocolate coating on the outside was nice. Unfortunately, this bar was a little dry for my personal preference. The flavour was alright, and it has decent ingredients and an good amount of protein, although I wish it was more whey protein, but soy protein is listed before whey. Still a great bar to have with my coffee at work.

    I received the Powerbar ProteinPlus bar for free. I was pretty excited to try the creamy chocolate peanut butter flavor because I love peanut butter. Unfortunately the peanut butter flavor is very weak. If you love a strong peanut butter flavor this bar isn't for you. My major problem with the bar wasn't so much the weak taste, it was the texture. Most protein bars tend to have a powerful protein flavor that is unpleasant and this bar is no exception. Unfortunately this bar also has an odd texture and a protein taste to it. On the positive, this bars nutritional values are great. It is only 200 calories and it is a thick bar. It is quite large. It has 20 grams of protein and 5 grams of fibre. If you care more about nutritional numbers than taste, this bar is amazing. Unfortunately the taste is just too powdery tasting for me.

    PowerBar Protein Plus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter is a pretty good protein bar of it's kind but it's just not for me.

    I liked the flavor of this protein bar. I have tried the Lemon Poppy seed first and didn't like it very much. The Chocolate Peanut Butter is very smooth and creamy. It is soft to chew unlike other protein bars.
    The Reduced Sugar feature of this bar is good but didn't work for me at all because of the Sugar alcohol used. Maltitol gave me stomach issues. The bar contains 5g of fibre and 2g of sugar. 20 g of protein which is great and can keep you full for a bit.

    I am following a ketogenic diet and this bar kicked me out of ketosis and I had stomach problems for a couple days. I was never this sensitive to sugar alcohol until I tried these bars. So if you are sensitive to Maltitol, stay away from this protein bar. Otherwise, I don't really have any problem with the taste and texture. I think the taste and texture are pretty good. It is not chalky like the Lemon Poppy seed. It is not very sweet either. I think though that it can use some crunch or something. Maybe they should add some bits of chocolate or peanut. The first bite reminded me of the Snicker's Bar.

    In the future, I don't think I will buy this product as it turned out it's not for me. I am happy that I was able to try this product for free to review as part of the Product Review Club.

    PowerBar Protein Plus Reduced Sugar Chocolate Peanut Butter is a decent option.

    I tried this bar because thanks to the wizards at ChickAdvisor I #gotitfree. I like the idea of reduced sugar and high protein, and this bar sits in the middle of the protein bar pack in terms of taste and texture. Full disclosure: I prefer plant-based protein bars because I find they give me more energy. However, if you are looking for a whey-protein bar with less sugar, this is a contender.

    I got this from chickadvisor to test out. I eat protein bars fairly regularly, but don't usually like them. This one didn't taste particularly good to me. Didn't really taste like pb or chocolate. That being said, it tasted good. I really liked the texture and really loves that it has reduced sugar:)

    This protein power bar is filling for a quick snack on the go. The taste is okay but the texture is pureed. It tastes/feels like your eating baby food. its not that appetizing.

    I recieved this creamy chocolate peanut butter reduced sugar Power Bar free from Chick Advisor for my honest opinion and review. I must say that the actual flavor of this bar was fine. It tastes much like peanut butter cookie dough and the chocolate coating on the outside was nice. This was my favorite out of the two flavors of bars that I recieved. That being said, the texture was terrible. It was a lot like you had swallowed some sand. It was far too grainy and it didn't sit well in my throat and made me want to drink a lot of water afterward. I do not think that this bar is for me but I appreciate the opportunity to try it for free. #PowerBarReducedSugar #gotitfree

    I received this product from ChickAdvisor and PowerBar in exchange for my honest opinion. I was really excited to try this product because I can never get my daily amount of protein in. I really wanted to like this product, but I found it quite difficult to eat. The product itself was quite dry and had an odd texture. It did have a good peanut butter taste, although I just couldn't get over the texture and dryness. I had to drink water with it in order for me to finish it. In all honesty, I have no found a protein bar that I would actually eat on a regular basis so maybe protein bars just aren't my thing. Another member of my household had the other bar that I received and he did not mind the texture and flavour. He eats protein bars a lot more frequently than I do, and said this one was a lot better than some of the other ones he had tried in the past. Overall, I do not think I would buy this product again in the future, although other members of my household might.

    The texture was smooth and you wouldn't know it was reduced sugar. I didn't find the flavours overly strong. It did fill me up asi didn't snack later in the evening after eating two of them. Sorry it reminded me of a bar I've had before but I can't remember where.
