I was a bit skeptical when I first saw this bar. Other protein bars on the market that boasts "fruit" flavored bars always turns out to be a disappointment as it just has too much of a "chemical" or "plastic" taste. But boy was I surprised after one bite. Perfect lemon flavour and just the right amount of softness/chewiness. Unlike the Peanut Butter flavor, I actually found this bar the perfect amount of sweetness.
The only thing that I am a bit hesitant about is that it uses whey protein. Would have been better if soy protein was used instead, but otherwise, I loved this bar!

I didn't expect such a strong lemon flavour from a protein bar. I enjoyed it because it was not too sweet. I like that it has 20g of protein and only 2.5g of saturated fat. It could be a bit more moist , but I think for a protein bar, they did a good job.
I like the texture and taste of these protein bars. They're not overly chewy and not as sweet as other competitors. It's great that they use real Whey Protein Isolate, instead of soy protein.
The only main issue that I find not so great about them is that they use alcohol sugars. As alcohol sugars aren't exactly sugar, it is easy to think the bars are low in sugar and therefore healthy; however, alcohol sugars are still processed into the body an blood like real sugar and effect glucose levels (ie. if you are diabetic please watch out) I think this product is generally healthy and wouldn't do harm to most people but it is a good thing to keep in mind.
I received this product as part of the Product Review Club and it could not have come at a better time as I was heading out for a 1 week camping vacation. This bar gave me enough substance to help in-between meals and I really appreciated that it was a reduced sugar option. We packed a few other brands of protein bars / granola bars to bring with us on the trip and I found this one wasn't as chalky as a normal 'protein bar' and not too sweet! #gotitfree

As a ChickAdvisor I was lucky enough to be selected to try out PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed. I really like the peanut butter version of these, so was looking forward to trying out this flavour. I was totally blown away. Most 'cake flavoured' protein bars I've tried in the past are pasty and chalky. This one is really the best one I've ever had in terms of the actual texture. I also loved the flavour. It's an unusual one for protein bars (probably because it's so hard to 'get it right'--but they did!
This is delicious! The lemon flavour is refreshing and totally reminds me of one of my favorite Luna bars, but even better!
My whole family loved these. Great size, satisfying and filling. Great for a snack on the go or also for me after a run. I really liked the flavour and the texture is soft and chewy. It didn't have that dry or cardboard type texture. I was pleased with the nutritional content on the label - good sound of protein and fibre and low in sugar.
I #gotitfree to try as part of the Chickadvisor product review club. Loved this so much that I will be buying them from now on!
I received PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed from ChickAdvisor for free to test and give my honest opinion.
First, I must state that I work out 4-5 times a week and I have tried many protein/energy bars for pre-workout. This one actually taste pretty decent for a protein bar. Of course with any protein bar, there will be a bit of a whey, gritty or coarse texture. It's not going to taste like an actual cake or a regular chocolate bar. I'm basing my opinion with that in mind and already knowing what to expect in a protein bar.
That said, this one is not as bad as others I've tasted considering how much protein is in this bar plus the reduced sugar. In my opinion for a protein bar they taste pretty good. It kept me full during my entire sweat session. I generally work out for about 2 hours so it did it's job keeping me full and energized.
These bars are great for pre or post workouts. I prefer pre-workouts. It does take about an hour for them to give you a kick of energy so I say eat them half an hour before workout and by the time you warm up and everything, it' will be perfect timing for your workout.
I would eat these with a glass of water as it tends to be dry (as of most protein bars)
Overall, I would have to go out and buy myself more of these to test out how the protein is working. I could only review the taste as of now because a few bars is not going to let me know if the protein is helping me gain more muscles or not.
Yes, I like the taste, doing it's job keeping me full, giving me a kick of energy. I will purchased more and work with these for a few months. They are good for on the go and no time for a meal as well. Just note, don't expect it to taste like an actual cake or a regular chocolate bar. It's pretty close tasting to a poppy seed muffin, in my opinion.
PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed kept me going during my trip in Europe and gave me the pick-me-up I needed to feel energized for my full day of walking and exploring. I'm not a fan of the taste, and isn't as nutritious as they advertise, but has great chewy texture, and is super convenient to have on hand as a snack.
I #gotitfree for testing purposes from chickadvisor! While this protein bar is packed with protein and has very little sugar in it you can be sure that you are picking a healthy snack, the taste was less than desirable. The lemon flavour just didn't work with the texture of the bar, and had a terrible after taste. This one unfortunately was a miss for me.
