Why did you pick this product vs others?:After my fantastic cardio rehab RN suggested it, I started using the Yuka app to scan every food product I buy. The results have been eye opening. Go to the Yuka site to understand how they rate foods. Get the great free app at the usual places.My local Costco carries 10 nutrition bars. Of the 10 so called healthy snacks, 2 were not rated, 6 rated poor (below 50), or bad (below 25). The only two that rated above 50 (good) were Simply Protein (51), and Cliff Bar (51). I used to buy Cliff for years, but after Megan Rapinoe became their spokesperson I decided to look elsewhere. I was buying unhealthy products like Kind (29), and didn't know it.SP tastes ok, and after 27 bars I have grown to like them. They're low in sugar (2g), so don't expect a candy bar. I like the crunchy texture, and they seem to sustain me for longer than Cliff bars- two hours at least. (13g protein vs 9g) They don't melt, or get stuck in your teeth like some bars. They are a little high on calories (170) and saturated fat (2g), but calories & fat is what I'm looking for.The only negative for me is the little dark chocolate bits in the choc flavor tend to fall off sometimes while I'm eating them. It's only a problem if I'm eating one while driving as they get on my clothes or on the car seat. I've learned to be careful.

These protein bars are super tasty, with a light crispy texture. They're not too sweet, and they don't feel like you're chomping into a dense eraser like other bars. These have the perfect balance of chewy and crunchy and are perfect as a mid-afternoon or post work-out snack, or just as a treat! The lemon is my favorite, but they are all delicious!

Overall, these are delightful. I struggle with getting enough plant-based protein, but the majority of protein bar options are either candy bars in disguise, taste like sawdust, or are simply too big and too filling for when I need a little snack. I like the texture, the lightness, and the hint of sweetness that comes from real sugar - no weird artificial ingredient after taste. That being said - I purchased the variety pack and the box of dark chocolate almond flavor was hard as a rock. Like break your teeth hard. Thank goodness they weren't the first one I tried or I might have fought for a refund. I've purchased these again, but only the lemon coconut flavor.

Best protein bar flavor I have ever had. No aftertaste whatsoever. Crunchy with coconut. Other flavors of this brand are not edible.

These bars actually taste pretty good. My issue with this might not be an issue for other people but this gives me gas. Like bad gas. I don't mean I'm clearing out a room, I mean I have to fart ALL the time if I eat these. I've given these bars to another person and she said it wasn't an issue at all for her, so YMMV.Personally, if it didn't cause me gas issues, I would probably buy these again. But with the level of gas it gives me... no thanks. I have the same issue with Fiber One chewy bars, so it's not this product in particular. Would definitely rate it higher otherwise and like I said, for you it might be a 5, but I'd get a smaller box first to check.

I do not like chewy and soft protein bars. This crispy protein bars become my favorite.

These bars are very tasty and they stick with me the whole rest of the day. While kind of pricey, I use them as a meal so compared to an actual meal with several selections, they are filling so I guess the price isn't too bad.

I am a vegan and this products boosts my protein intake.
