HORRID!! Mouthful of lemon gritty sand!!
All I can say is they really need to go back to the drawing board on these. BLECH!! I was really excited to see a low sugar low carb protein bar. With my family on the go often we grab these type of bars on the run to make sure everyone is getting what they need. Often with the chocolate on them it also curbs the sweet tooth as well as being a healthier choice. So you can imagine my unhappiness when I bit into this. It was like biting into raw cookie dough which then melted into a lemon gritty sandy texture in your mouth which just did not go away. It took several swallows of water to wash away the texture and flavor which really fell short as well. Great in theory HORRIBLE in execution. My daughter tried as well which by her second bite she just spit it out saying it was awful and she felt she had a sandbox in her mouth. Definitely a NO BUY item for this household. Plus found the sodium levels rather high. Yes I know ideally for after work outs but even then still found a little on the high side.
Great flavour idea for a protein bar
I received this product as part of the ChickAdvisor product review club. I love the idea that this bar has low sugar, tons of protein, and only 5 weight watchers points. I also love the idea of the flavour - lemon poppy seed is a super unique flavour. The only problem is that the flavour taste's very artificial and gritty, not at all like I expected. I still enjoyed this bar, but it could use improvement.
I would buy this again!
My favorite part about this bar is that it has 20 grams of protein and only 200 calories! Most protein bars are very high in calories and I love that I can eat this, get the protein I need without the excess calories. It also tastes great, the lemon flavor is very different from other protein bar flavors and tastes just like a lemon poppy seed bar. Very good and I will be buying again!
I probably won't purchase this
These protein bars were not very good at all. The flavour wasn't terrible, but the texture was just too much for me. It was really dry and pasty and I couldn't really get past it.
The nutritional value also isn't very good; they claim to be lower in sugar, but if you read the ingredients they replaced sugar with sugar alcohol, so I really don't think there's much of a difference.
I'm glad that I got this for free because I would not have been happy if I paid for it.
Really didn't like the taste!
I got this for free as part of the product review club from ChickAdvisor.
I really didn't like the taste of this bar. I didn't find it very lemony, just very artificial sweet. The texture wasn't great either, it was powdery. The nutritional breakdown is quite good but you can get the same with the much better tasting PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter version. Definitely do not recommend this flavour.
Great tasting Protein Bar
I was excited to be given the opportunity to try PowerBar ProteinPlus through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. #gotitfree.
I love that this bar is Lemon Poppyseed-a flavour I hadn't tried before in a protein bar. The taste is great, the lemon flavour is the strongest note throughout. There is a slight medicinal flavour I find a lot of protein bars contain. But, with 20 grams of protein this is a great choice for a post workout snack or a quick snack on the run. This variation only contains 3 grams of sugar and comes in a 200 cals.
One of the better tasting protein bars
PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed is one of the most nicely textured and best tasting protein bars I've ever tried.
I was very fortunate to receive this free sample from ChickAdvisor and PowerBar; however, I'll admit that I was a little skeptical about the flavour. I ended up being pleasantly surprised! The poppy seed flavour is perfectly mild and the texture helps bring out the subtleties in the flavour. I enjoyed biting down on the little poppy seeds and the bar itself was dry and sort of flaky, and thankfully not as dense as most other similar bars! I don't feel like I'm eating a brick!
I'd definitely recommend trying this flavour because the taste and texture combination is great!
Not my cup of tea but not bad
So I enjoyed this flavor a bit less that the chocolate peanut butter. I am not a fan of lemon flavored things but I didn't hate this. The 20 grams of protein and low sugar is a great benefit when working out so that is great about this product. I think I will give my second one to someone and trade them for the chocolate flavor.
Excellent Protein bar. Recommended for everyone!
I like the soft texture of this protein bar. It flavour was also tasty and not overly sweet. This was the perfect size after a long workout. I would recommend anyone who does long workouts to try this. #gotitfree
Pretty unique flavours for lemon poppy seed
PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed has a pretty good unique flavour that is not too sweet, which is definitely a great bonus. This bar is very fullfilling and texture is very creamy. Definitely done it's job for a good meal replacement or snack with protein for people on the go! Thank you chick advisor for letting me try it for free!
