Pure Protein Bars, High Protein, Nutritious Snacks to Support Energy, Low Sug...

I picked up these Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe bars as an easy protein option for busy workdays and post-gym snacks. I’ve been eating them consistently for about two weeks, usually mid-morning at my desk or right after a workout when I don’t feel like mixing a shake. In real use, they do exactly what they’re supposed to do. The bar is filling enough to hold me over for a few hours, and the 20g of protein makes it feel functional rather than snacky. The chocolate flavor is straightforward and not overly sweet, which I appreciate since many protein bars taste like dessert. Texture is dense but manageable, especially if paired with coffee or water. Pros • High protein with only 3g sugar • Keeps me full and energized between meals • Chocolate flavor is mild and not artificial • Easy to throw in a bag or car Cons • Texture is a bit firm, especially in colder rooms • Chocolate taste is more subtle than indulgent Compared to softer, higher-sugar bars like Quest or ONE, these feel more practical and less like candy. Overall, this is a solid choice for people who want a dependable, low-sugar protein bar for work, travel, or gym days without unnecessary extras.

Highly recommend. Texture is stiff think cosmic brownie density. Not light and fluffy cake. But it’s a protein bar so you have to know what to expect. They are thick so drink beverage with. The flavor is on point. Carb and protein sugars all macros in check. I use on the P90x plan. They are sturdy don’t melt or freeze. Don’t upset my belly. Celiac GF. Also like: deluxe chocolate, cosmic brownies, cookies and cream, Avoid: zig zag cake. It has horrible after taste I can’t even place. Somewhere between chemical, rotten potato, fishy, metallic. Unpleasant.

I ordered these in Lemon Cake, Chocolate Deluxe and Chocolate Mint Cookie to try them out. Love that I can get 19 - 21 grams of protein in a "meal bar". I found the chocolate deluxe bar to be a bit gritty which I account for by the amount of protein they put in the bar (21 grams) with 17 carbs and 180 calories, but had a nice brownie-type chew to it. The chocolate mint cookie was good, but not as minty as I was expecting (with 19 grams of protein, 20 carbs & 180 calories). The lemon cake bar I was really surprised. It was very tasty, not gritty, had a nice lemon flavor (with 20 grams of protein), but was also the highest in calories with 200 and the lowest in carbs with 16. Any of them eaten with a hot beverage definitely takes the hunger pangs away. I have to say the lemon was definitely my favorite and worth the 200 calories as a meal replacement with a cup of coffee or hot tea. I'd give the lemon a 5 star and the two chocolates 4 stars just because they weren't quite what I was expecting.

I have been having a difficult time eating enough protein. These Pure Protein bars have helped a lot and they taste great. Normally I would buy a few at Walmart, however I find these from Amazon on cost effective and work great for me. I have ordered these several times and they have been fresh.

Decadent caramel. This is the best protein bars I have ever tasted. The salted caramel is fantastic. it is low sugar, gluten free and has 190 calories. The texture is very nice. I love the 19 gr of protein as a quick lunch. These are my new go to protein bars.

Among the best protein bars I've ever tried. They remind me in flavor of the Andes Creme de Menthe candies -- a subtle, creamy mint and chocolate flavor. The texture is also very good. Some of the Pure Protein bars can be very hard (Galactic Brownie, particularly) or gummy (Chocolate Delux), but the Mint Cookie bars are a perfect balance of chewy and firm. So far this is my second favorite flavor. I recently tried the Cookies and Cream bar and it is even better.

I was looking for an alternative to my usual QUEST brand Cookies & Cream protein bars, mainly to have an occasional second option. I mostly use these kind of protein bars in "a pinch" when I need to go out, but my blood sugar is too low, or I'm hungry & don't have the time to cook something before doing so. I'm not very big on 'eating out' on the road. I try to keep a pretty strict diet of sorts & wouldn't touch fast food with a ten foot pole if I was starving. So, in those cases these protein bars generally serve the 2 hours (slightly more or less) that I might need until I can get some actual nutritional food in me. As I stated, QUEST Cookies & Cream has been my 'go to' protein bar for some time. I tried a few of their other options/flavors, but for various reasons the ones I sampled didn't make the grade. When I finally found these PURE PROTEIN (lemon flavored) bars, I was pretty enthusiastic. They exceeded the calorie intake of the QUEST bars slightly (by 10 calories) & were only 1 gram less in protein. The carbs were less (by 6 grams, but these contain NO fiber, whereas the Quest has 13 grams) & the sugar of the PURE PROTIEN was only 1 gram more (with only 3 grams more of sugar alcohols). I thought "1 gram, more sugar and 3 grams more alcohols, how bad could that be!?" Well, it was actually pretty bad. Normally half a Quest bar is what I'll eat on the fly, keeping the other half in the wrapper with me if I need any ore. This (1/2 bar) is good for 1.5 - 2 hrs, for me. With the PURE PROTEIN bars I could only manage to eat 1/3 of the bar due to the excessive sweetness, in comparison to my normal bars and their sweetness in general. Now despite this the bars did suffice to keeping me free of any of the downsides that come with hunger for about 1 hour, or more, but I didn't carry the remaining 2/3 because the thought of having to eat any more really put me off. NOT that they taste "bad" because they don't. They are just too sweet for me. Due to this I can't speak with much confidence on the duration of time they would subside my hunger (@ 5'7 165-170lbs), but again 1/3 of a bar did maintain me for at least an 1 hour, give or take. Its a shame they are so sweet because I do enjoy them until that excessive sugar taste that burns the throat hits me. I should end with mentioning that, though the potassium, iron & calcium content in both bars is essentially ALMOST identical, the sodium content of the QUEST bars (cookies & cream) are 160 grams greater. Which could be a plus, or minus, depending on what the user is in need of. I had these on my subscribe & save, but have since removed them & the ones that remain in my refrigerator will probably stay there a while, but they will definitely be used by me in the future. Lastly, if you're storing your protein bars for any length of time REMEMBER some of these bars do contain oils & because of that they SHOULD BE REFRIGERATED. However, they do harden upon refrigeration so be prepared to remove them prior to consumption for 1-2 hrs (at least, if not 24 hrs) so they won't be so hard to chew. I can't say I would buy these again, but if you do have a sweet tooth they might "perfect" for you.

Riquísimas

Bought it for the unusual lemon flavor, rarely found in a protein bars. Is best when kept cold in the fridge. Tastes just like a lemon dessert, so it's great for cravings. Could be softer to be a 5 out of 5.

I eat one of these bars after a cardio session and prior to a few hours of yardwork. I initially purchased the combination pack from Costco but didn’t eat the peanut bars and didn’t really like the plain chocolate ones. Settled on the chocolate chip and haven’t looked back. Sometimes they seem to be in short supply so I tend to order accordingly.

Estas barras las he comprado muchisimas veces, se convirtieron en mis favoritaa porque tienen como 20 gr de proteina por barra y son deliciosas

Great taste!
