The Lemon Poppy Seed flavour was light and delectable!

The PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar in Lemon Poppy Seed was a refreshing change in flavour and sugar content from the usual bars that I purchase. They tasted dessert like and were a great pick me up after a good workout! I loved that this bar has high protein, low sugar and tastes awesome! #GotItFree :)

PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar bars are pretty yummy! At only 2g of sugar, you don't feel guilty about eating these pre or post-workout. The Lemon poppy seed flavour tastes like the cake and I love how there are actual poppy seeds in it!!

PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar in Lemon Poppy Seed is the perfect protein bar – it tastes like a coffee shop treat but without the sugar and gives me the boost I need in my day.

As mentioned, the taste of this power bar was really surprising to me. It does not taste like your average protein bar, to me, it tastes like a lemon loaf you’d buy at Starbucks except. So they definitely nailed the lemon flavor. It is also quite sweet for only having 3 grams of sugar. I know the maltitol (aka sugar alcohol) helps add sweetness but it seems like the perfect amount for a lemon flavored product. It is also not as dry as some of the other protein bars I have had, so that’s a definite bonus as well.

Aside from flavor, I also like that power bar relies on sugar alcohols instead of pure sugar as this means no energy crash post consuming this product. This is definitely a product I will buy again for my workout … or just a snack that I won’t have to feel guilty about eating.

I surprisingly enjoyed the lemon poppy seed flavour - the taste is quite true to the falvour and does not taste artificial. It's a falvour I wouldn't normally choose but I liked it! The texture is a bit different but I find that's the case with all protein bars.

PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed completely exceeded my taste expectation.
A lot of times, reduced sugar and anything in a protein bar translated into a poor taste experience. Not this PowerBar! The texture is very smooth, a bit chewy and has a really close taste of the real thing: Lemon Poppy Seed cake. Natural flavoring is only used. I #gotitfree to try and honestly it is by far the best Protein Bar I have tasted and I have been using protein bars for several years now. I gave a taster to another family member who is a really picky eater and said they it was good. They are now on the grocery list to keep on hand for the grab and go mornings and post work out re-fuel. Something to note: The bar contains Maltitol which is a sugar alcohol obtained from plant sources used to sweeten the product. But unlike sugar it doesn't cause sudden increases in blood sugar and has fewer calories. There is also Sucralose an artificial sweetener for those who need or want to avoid this ingredient.

I was excited to try these bars as I they are reduced sugar and I normally gravitate towards protein bars before/after a workout. I was also excited to try the Lemon Poppyseed as that is a not a common flavour to see. The flavour of the bar is not artificial and does actually taste like lemon poppyseed. This bar is a great alternative if you are tired of the usual flavours (vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter, etc.). However, the texture of the bar was not as appealing. It had a cakey/chalky texture and felt a bit on the heavy side. This bar did the job; I felt full until lunch time. I had this in the morning. I would recommend this to bar to those who enjoy lemon flavours. Otherwise, this bar may not be for you.

I #gotitfree from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club.

I received protein plus reduced sugar lemon poppy seed protein bar as a chick advisor and am sad to say I did not like this particular flavor!. I did enjoy others though, still a good brand!.

First of all I'd like to mention that I shared my protein bars with my fiance and he is a peanut butter and chocolate lover but actually enjoyed the lemon poppy seed flavour better...so a testament to the taste of this product. Positives about this bar 1) Very filling, 2) Taste was great and texture was creamy, 3) less sodium and saturated fat than the reduced-sugar chocolate peanut butter bar, 4) easy to grab and go. I definitely do not reach for processed foods often, I would rather re-fuel after a workout with whole foods. With that said, I don't ALWAYS have time to eat a scratch-made meal or snack after a workout let alone sit down and devote time to eating it. In those instances, I would definitely reach for some kind of energy/protein dense bar and based on taste and feeling satiated after consuming this product, I would definitely consider it again as an occasional thing.

I #gotitfree from Chickadvisor. I did not enjoy this bar at all. I am not the biggest fan of lemon so maybe not the best person to ask. I ate one bite and that is all I could do. It is very lemony so for lemon lovers that is awesome. I didn't really taste the poppyseed but only ate the one bite. Texture was dry. The aftertaste was that of dish soap. I will not buy these but for people that like lemon this may be great for them.

I received this as part of the Product Review Club.

Not bad at all - tastes good, and 20g of protein. I generally take either a protien bar or shake after my workouts, and I would definitely consider this as part of my rotation. There are only 3g of sugar (17g of sugar alcohol), which can be appealing to some. However, there aren't any BCAAs or L Glutamine included if you usually take those supplements. The lemon poppy seed flavor wasnt bad - didnt seem TOO artificial. The texture was soft, and not like the usual taffy/chewy protein bars.
