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 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.

PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar in Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed is the perfect post-workout bar or for a afternoon pick-me-up. I did enjoy the chocolate flavour over the lemon. It kept me full the same way my post workout protein shake does. I would purchase this in the future and I definitely recommend others trying it.

I really liked the taste of this protein bar. So many bars are chocolate based so it was nice to have this lemon poppyseed flavour. It tasted exactly like a lemon poppyseed muffin to me. It's great that it is reduced sugar and there is so much protein in it. I was full after half a bar and saved the rest for later. Really great if you need a quick snack before a workout without feeling heavy from eating a full meal. Unlike a lot of protein bars, I didn't find that it was gritty with protein. It could have been that the poppyseeds masked it. It's a difficult thing to get around when you have 20g of protein so I was really impressed with the texture. Between this flavour and the chocolate peanut butter, this one was the clear winner to me.

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.

I was excited to try this bar, but I didn't love the taste or texture. It kept me full and gave me energy though!

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!
