Did not like it!

I was hoping this would be a tasty bar but alas the PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed disappointed me. I found the bar chalky and unappetizing. It was like trying to swallow a mouth full of just protein powder. Sorry not for me.

Bar is as advertised

I received two flavors of PowerBar ProteinPlus bars to try from Chickadvisor to try for free.

I was excited to try this new bar as job is very physical and I do require nutrition in a quick format at times. This bar does appear to pack a good punch as far as nutrients and such go. The taste however was not as I expected. I found the lemon poppyseed refreshing for the first bite then almost sour after that. Although the bar did the trick I found the texture to be a huge downfall for me. I would love to see something added to the middle of the bar to make it not so powdery tasting.

All in all the bar did what it claimed to do.

A nice change of pace in the flavour department.

When I received the lemon poppy seed protein power bar, it was a nice change to see a citrus based flavour. I love lemon and this bar didn't disappoint! It was a great tasting bar, not too sweet and not too lemon that it was over powering. Too often we tend to go for the chocolate based bars to get a bit of our sweet tooth fix but this flavour was great for getting rid of my afternoon cravings! And it gave me the energy and feeling of fullness that i need to get through the afternoon! I will admit, my son preferred the peanut butter flavoured reduced sugar protein bar but I thought the lemon poppy seed one was a nice change, especially for a citrus lover!

Yum!

Great for on the go or for a meal replacement. And they were so lemon-ey!!! Sooo yummy. I can't wait to taste the peanut butter ones!! They did still have a bit of a grotty texture to them but that's nothing new in the protein bar world.

Great Product for Active Lifestyles

I had the opportunity to try this product for free through ChickAdvisor's Product Review Club. I am a fairly active person who strives to incorporate an aspect of physical activity into every day. I also try to eat well on a regular basis. My diet consists mainly of fresh fruits and vegetables and lean protein with little to no carbs. I also try to reduce my sugar intake wherever possible. With a busy, active and on-the-go life-style, I plan my meals and snacks ahead of time to ensure that I am maintaining a healthy diet.

I currently use protein bars in my diet as a meal or snack alternative when on the run. I like the high protein content of this product along with the reduced sugar. The product has a nice airy texture. Although the taste was good, it wasn't my favourite as I found it was too much like dessert. I enjoyed this product in lieu of breakfast before an intense workout and found that it kept me satisfied. I think that the only thing I could complain about would be the travel-ability of this product in the summer since it has a creamy coating. It probably isn't something that I want to leave in the car! I would definitely consider purchasing it in future, but probably a different flavour.

Good flavor, but made me want to puke.

Okay, so I'm not sure if it was just me or this bar. I was headed out to the gym early this morning, and my stomach was growling as I left the house, so I grabbed this bar to satisfy my hunger. I'm not sure if it was me or my empty stomach or these bars, but almost immediately after I felt sick. I almost didn't go to the gym (but glad I did!)

The flavor was okay. Not as good as the chocolate and peanut butter one, but one I wouldn't mind for a quick snack. Just make sure you check your teeth after: I had quite a few poppy seeds in my teeth after!

I guess I need to try it again sometime just to see if it was just a bad day for me. I will edit this post once I have tried another one. I just hope I don't feel sick again!

But on the plus side: less sugar means I can eat something else sugary during the day and not feel as guilty ;)

Disclosure: I received this product for free from Chick Advisor in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Protein Loaded!

I received the PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed bar for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club opportunity. I am always on the look out for a protein bar that is tasty and not full of sugar. Most of the bars on the market are high in protein, but also high in sugar. The majority of bars also taste like you are eating chalk! I found the flavour of this bar to be pretty sweet, despite it having only 3 grams of sugar. Given that it has 20grams of protein this would be something I would have on hand when I don't have time for a meal and need something to fill me up. Price is fair as far as protein bars go and I would by it.

Not my favourite

I received this product as part of the review club. My job can get hectic and I like having a protein bar in my bag for those days where lunch is just not going to happen. I was impressed by the nutrients and low sugar content but the consistency of the bar was too dense for me. I did like the poppy seeds being throughout. I probably would not this again.

I thought it would taste better.

I went out to buy this product to sample since I wasn't chosen for the campaign. I found the coating on the power bar enjoyable. It was very moist and sort of reminded me of the texture of a Mars bar, however definitely not as tasty (not one of my favourite chocolate bars). It was almost as good as eating a lemon poppy seed muffin in terms of lemon flavour. It had a very adequate amount of poppy seeds. I ate it for breakfast at nine in the morning and it kept me full until one in the afternoon. A definite selling feature is that it contains twenty grams of protein. I found that it left an unpleasant aftertaste because of the artificial sugar substitute. I thought it was going to taste better so I don't think I will purchase it again.

Lemon fresh

I found that PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed tasted great and i liked the lemon taste. It's filling and satisfying. I would carry it around with me for a great snack.
