These bars are a meal replacement that actually make you feel as though you have had a meal. I was so tired of meal replacements that had me starving 2 hours later. I can substitute my lunch with one of these bars and feel satisfied all afternoon. The taste is very decadent and sweet. It might border on being too sweet if you generally eat little sugar. For me it was a welcome treat, like a healthy dessert for lunch!

I received this as part of the review club, and am pretty skeptical about protein bars.. my experience with them has been that they are very chalky texture/taste and always 'claim' to be better than they are.
These ones actually do taste like a treat, and do not have any unpleasant taste/texture - the crunchies are a nice addition :)
I have a shelf in my pantry full of random protein bars i've purchased and cannot bring myself to even try them - these are my favourite!

I've tried other meal replacement bars and personally I wasn't a fan of this one. I couldn't get past the taste, which wasn't very good, and how heavy the bar felt to eat. Though the bar did do it's job and I felt full for a long time after eating it.
If I wasn't so put off by the taste I would use them again because they are very effective!.

I did find the bars filling, however almost too much. I also found them too chocolatey. I gave one to my SO and he quite enjoyed them. I would buy them again for him but would love to try another flavour if they had for me.

I really was disappointed with this energy bar. The chocolate taste was terrible and very gritty. It was very heavy and unpleasant. I would not reccomenned these bars at all

Received these the other day and of course my 23 year old son and 21 year old daughter had to try them also , my son loved the taste and my daughter who is very picky with her protein bars said they were just ok! I loved the flavor and because I'm on a diet right now they tasted great like to me. They kept me full in the afternoon and I eat in in little bites throughout the afternoon instead of all at once and it did the trick! Would definitely buy these again and would live to try other flavors!

I wanted to like these Nutriforme Bars so badly but unfortunately I can't get over the gritty texture and the traditional "meal replacement" taste. Anyone who has tried bars like this before knows that they have a very distinctive taste but sometimes the other flavours they use (in this case chocolate fudge) can overpower them. Although it was pretty chocolatey, it just wasn't enough to mask the taste. I do love the ingredients as they have 24 essential vitamins and minerals, 15 grams of protein and only 270 calories per bar They can be used for people who skip meals, are on the go or also to help with weight loss. By eating one of these bars in place of a meal, you can reduce the amount of ingested calories.

I may try a different flavour one day but as of now, I will not be purchasing them in the future. *I was able to try these Adrien Gagnon Meal Replacement Bars for free through ChickAdvisor.

I've tried quit a few different nutrition bars, I have to say they are usually pretty good as a snack, but they all have this really fake taste. I find this especially true for "high-protein" bars, where sometimes the taste is overwhelming. I actually really enjoyed the taste of these bars, you can feel the added protein, but the chocolate coating makes it taste great! probably one of my favorite bars taste-wise, I would like to try different flavors, which might nice to people that don't like chocolate much.
The bar itself was very big, you kinda get tired after eating it, which is good, as it keeps you pretty stuffed. Based on the calorie count, I had two for lunch, just to see how long I can go without getting hungry. It was ~ 4-5 hours before I started feeling like having something, which I think is pretty good. It was a good amount of calories for one meal, and the bar are big in size. One bar is definitely not enough as a whole meal, so you either have to eat more than one, or just enjoy it as a snack.

I don't normally like protein bars but I liked this one!
I had half a bar in the morning and wasn't hungry until lunch time which is rare, lol

I thought the taste was so-so, better than others I have tasted.
Great to keep in purse for a quick snack.

I was sent a few of these bars to review by ChickAdvisor.

I've never had meal replacements bars specifically, I do sometimes have energy bars or granola bars as a meal on the odd occasion.

The flavour was alright for something that is geared for lower calories. It was chocolaty from the coating, The main issue I had with the flavour is it has an artificial after taste which isn't very nice The texture was not great, I'm not a huge fan of the grittiness that high protein bars have. This one had a bit of the gritty texture due to the protein powder, it isn't as bad as others I have tried but I'm not a huge fan of it so I tend to stay away from protein bars.

In regards to curbing cravings and hunger. Hunger wise I guess it works if you eat it when you are hungry. I usually ate this as a replacement for breakfast and I still got hungry around the same time for lunch so it wasn't different than eating a normal breakfast. I will note I tend not to eat a large breakfast. Fullness wise, I did find it fairly filling. It's quite dense so I did find it made me feel a bit sluggish actually if I ate it too quickly. For cravings, I'm not on a strict diet, I would say calorie conscious in terms of what I am eating throughout the day and not go over 1700cal. Since I don't deprive myself I don't generally have many cravings. Would this be satisfying as a chocolate bar replacement? I guess but honestly most chocolate bars are around 260cal so unless you are doing a low carb diet I would go for regular chocolate.

Energy wise, about the same as normal. I didn't notice it giving me more energy. If I ate the bar too fast I found I felt a bit sluggish since it's quite heavy.

Overall would I recommend it? Not really, the taste wasn't great and it didn't stave off any hunger pains any more than regular food. There is no way that you could replace 2 meals with 1 bar unless you rationed it over the course of the day (but you would still be hungry).
