Orgain Organic Vegan 10g Protein Bars, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, 12 Pk

I’ve tried so many different protein bars over the years, and this is by far my favorite! I love the texture and that it has chocolate chips in it. It really does tastes like cookie dough (unlike other ones I’ve tried that tasted nasty). I ate 2 in a row and had to stop. I bought the peanut butter chocolate chunk after trying these, and they are good (the brownie ones are gross). I’m hooked now! I wish they were a bigger size though. They are pretty small, but they can’t be too big since it would be more calories…

I love the cookie dough flavor! Some reviewers mention the texture is a bit like playdough, and while I can see that, it doesn’t bother me. To me, it feels like eating a soft bar of cookie dough, without any protein powder residue or aftertaste. There’s a slight essence of protein powder on the first bite, but it disappears quickly. The bar is a decent size (if you know, you know—the protein bar sizing struggle) and doesn’t upset my stomach. I also find these keep me satisfied for a few hours, making them perfect between meals. I just ordered the brownie flavor - will report back. Update: The chocolate brownie reminded me of the lil Debbie cosmic brownies minus the candy topping with a hint of protein flavor. They are a dense with a smooth chocolate frosting on top and little crunchies throughout for texture. I definitely prefer the chocolate chip to the brownie - the brownie was too rich for me to eat the whole thing but I’m a vanilla over chocolate person for reference.

I like any of the Orgain protein bars of this style. Has a good texture, and is not too sweet. This one definitely reminds me of cookie dough, so they did a good job with it. The initial bite has that protein taste though. Seems to simmer down with more bites. Something unique about these bars that I like. Mixed reviews, but I decided to give them a try anyway because I like Orgain products, AND it was on sale, bringing it closer to $1 per bar. I bought the S'mores, and I find them incredible. Then I bought this Chocolate Chip Cookie dough, and it tastes like cookie dough, and the texture too. Like the cookie dough you can get in rolls in the refridgerated sections. But slightly more firm for handling. Very interesting. As with the Smores option, here too I expected a strong protein taste, and at first I did taste a little of that. But I think the initial opening of the packet released some off gassing, and so my first bite seemed to taste protein-y. However, the rest of it was divine. I didnt gobble it all down at once. Remainder of my review is the same as my review for the smores option, so I will just copy it over here. I tend to chomp on these through my work day, so I take a bite then set aside for awhile, then return to it as needed. I work a physical job and so it isn't easy to just eat a meal. I also need something that can stick to my ribs. I was really pleasantly surprised that I could eat just this and get through my day. I think I had an apple (cut up for same ease of munching) along side it. It wasn't a fluke, because i did it again the next work day, and had same results. So the protein used is a long burner. Coffee, orgain bar, sliced up apple. All good. All day. Taste? good. Not too sweet Texture? awesome. Has a good chew. If warm (like sitting in car) it gets a little goey, but it stays solid- no mess. I like the bits of chocolate. Adds good mouth feel. I'm a big fan of loading up my purse with snack bars-- again, I work a physical job with no real breaks. I like knowing I have something to nibble on as need be. I would also grab for this when I want something candy bar like, and not worry about taking the sugar hit. I just find it all around pleasant, and will likely buy it again (though preferably on sale), and likely try other flavors.

I've reordered these many times because I really like these bars, but they're not perfect. I like them because they satisfy my sweet tooth for relatively few calories and provide some protein. All three of those things are important considerations for me since I had weight loss surgery. On the down side, they're pretty gritty. That's partly due to the "crisps" and partly due to the protein powder I'm sure, so it's to be expected. The other issue is that the taste and texture vary considerably from batch to batch. I suspect this is a good thing because it reflects the fact that these aren't rolling off an industrial production line, stuffed full of additives and preservatives, but it means that sometimes it's different (and worse than usual). This particular order is darker in color and leaves an aftertaste that I really don't like. However, the chocolate chips and the slight chewiness are yummy. I'll definitely be ordering again, but I'm hoping that the taste change isn't due to a reformulation. If it is, I'll have to find a new treat.

I've purchased Orgain protein powder dozens of times, so I thought I'd try these bars. Upon unwrapping them, I noticed how skinny they were compared to my usual protein bars (I've had many different ones over the years). While unwrapping them, they stuck to the wrapping instead of coming off easily. They were stored in a controlled and cool setting in my home. The taste was just OK. But I will definitely not get these again, even on sale.

These were ok. They were very fresh and moist they weren’t dry at all. the chocolate chips and cookie dough balls are very tasty. I was filled after eating one the fiber is very filling. They are a good quality protein bar that has ingredients from the earth which I loved. They were a bit expensive for the sizes of the bars but taking into consideration the more healthy the food is the more it seems to cost which I’ll never understand. The texture is smooth on the outside but it’s very chewy. Aside from the chocolate and the cookie dough the taste is not for me. This is one that if I had to eat for the nutrients it would be ok. I think people who love natural plant based foods would love this it just wasn’t for me. It’s an acquired taste.

These are by far the best plant based protein bars I have tried. I have been eating these for a few years now. All these flavors are great and having a variety helps.

They take a couple bites to get used to because the texture is a little weird. It's more of a really think paste than a bar. That said, they are delicious and addictive. They taste as close to a candy bar as you're going to get with so few calories and so much protein. I don't find them substantial enough as a meal replacement (I prefer something like the Vega protein snack bars for a quick breakfast) but these are a great option when you have a sweet craving. Taking off one star because out of a box of 12 there was one that had a weird, terrible taste and I had to throw it out. But that's not going to stop me from ordering more.
