I received the PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed bar free to test. The taste was a bit tarte/sour. I liked this flavor, but I am unsure if I would buy this kind again. It was sweet (but not overly,) and the consistency to the bar was creamy and soft. I did find the bar to taste a bit powdery and chalky in texture. As a vegetarian I liked that the bar has 20 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber. It was a quick and easy way to get my protein in, especially on-the-go, or before the gym. After consuming, I felt satisfied and full.
As someone who's weakness is lemon poppy seed loaf, these bars are the perfect, healthy substitute! The amount of protein is seriously impressive, and I love that they have reduced sugar, which I look for in all protein products I use. These bars pack a ton of flavour, are decadent, and leave you feeling full. I would definitely recommend these to people both as a weight management/fitness product, but also as a great snack to have at your desk for that afternoon sweet craving. They are affordably priced and I love the colourful packaging! Note: I received this product free for testing purposes.
Regarding taste and texture alone, I would absolutely recommend this product! Nutritionally, it has some good and some bad. It is high in saturated fat, but also very high in protein (20 g), with a decent amount of fibre, calcium, and iron, and low in sodium. It is low in sugar, but it should be noted that the sweetness is not compromised in any way because the sugar is substituted with sucralose. Some people are sensitive to sucralose and therefore may perceive an aftertaste, but I have never found sucralose to be distasteful, and as mentioned, I found these bars to be quite palatable!
I received this PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed bar, and to be completely honest, the taste was awful. It was very chalky and it didn't take like lemon poppy seed at all. It had a very bland taste. I was a little disappointed by that. I did, however, like the energy it gave me. It also helped to curb my hunger. I really enjoyed the Chocolate & Peanut Butter PowerBar I received.
My review on the lemon poppy seed bar. Good smell texture and color and taste. Not an overwhelming taste of protein but a little bit of an alcohol aftertaste. The seeds stick in your mouth and they have a bit of a bad taste but not enough to stop me from buying these!
I was surprised with the delicious tastes of these Lemon Poppy Seed bars! Usually protein bars taste bland, but PowerBar got it right this time! I love that these bars are full of nutrients that really keep me going all day :)
This flavor is by far, not one of my favourite choices, I much rather preferred the Peanut butter + Chocolate- but the nutritional value on these bars are top notch. Reduced sugar, low calories and super filling. The flavor of this one just wasn't for me- but it wasn't so terrible I couldn't eat it. Just not my flavour :)
This is a delicious, though uniquely flavoured power bar.
I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting to like the Lemon Poppy Seed flavour, but it is delicious. The white chocolate coating is mild, and shouldn't be a deterrent for those who don't like white chocolate. The lemon flavouring is smooth, and not sour. The bar is soft and chewy and not dry or chalky like other brands of protein bars. The whole thing came together like a delicious dessert. It's great to know that I'm getting 20 g of protein and only 3 g of sugar.
Some may find this one a little too sweet for first thing in the morning. Others, like me, will gobble it up any time of the day. :)
I received this product free to try from the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
I am just trying this product for the first time this morning. Firstly, I love the flavour! Lemon poppyseed is one of my favorite combinations and it's nice to see it in a protein bar. I love that it does contain 20g of protein as well. I am not a fan of the overall texture of the bar. I wish it were a bit firmer, it's just a little soft for my personal preference. I would buy this again though because I really enjoy the flavour.
Thank you chickadvisor.com for the opportunity to taste this!
Wow it's going to be your first reaction when you bite into this Protein Plus bar. The taste of lemon is quite strong and although I did like it I do not think that I could eat the entire bar, I took one bite and I wrapped it up for later.
Surprisingly the lemon has more sugar than the peanut butter and chocolate at 3 grams of sugar and 5 grams of fiber it's still a great Buy. If the grocery store was out of the chocolate and peanut butter I may still attempt to buy this lemon and poppy seed.
