Filling, tasty and a great snack!
Took my sample to the first midnight shift I was starting and it got me though my dinner routine change. It tasted really good and wasn't too sweet which I was perfect! I left it in my lunch pail so when I went to eat it, it was cold which made it a little harder to chew. Absolutely love that it's all natural ingredients too! I will be looking into the price of a box of these from a local grocery store soon.
The sweet that knocked me out
I have had other Powerbars before but was excited to try this one. I liked the claim of all natural ingredients, even though there was sort of a unpleasantly fake tasting "caramel" under tone. Then it hit me....a huge wave of sweet that I found intolerable. Too much for me to bear, and after one small bite I found myself looking for something to counterbalance it.
For a mere 10g of protein, I would be better off just taking a spoonful of peanut butter or a handful of trail mix.

Great source of protein and fibre
In general, this was a good tasting bar (although a bit too sweet)! The amount of protein and fibre contents in the bar was great, but the fat and sugar could be a bit lower. Overall, I would definitely consider purchasing this in the future!
Yummy and healthy
Luckily I #gotitfree ! This is a tasty and healthy protein bar. I think its great for when I'm on the go and after the gym. In my opinion I prefer this Power Bar Pant Protein in almond sea salt and dark chocolate to the caramel cashew one because of the flavour. 10g of protein for a plant derived bar is fantastic. Highly recommended. I know it has a fair bit of sugar but at least it is natural and not that strange artificial stuff.
My Household Weren't Impressed
I #gotitfree through the product review club. I was initially happy to see 4 bars in the package, which meant that my partner and I each could try both flavours. He works out regularly and I am a former personal trainer, so we are both quite conscious of what we eat.
We agreed that the flavour was alright. It wasn't anything to write home about but it wasn't bad either. A little too sweet. If you're used to commercial granola bars, these would probably be a good choice for you. I make my own high protein granola and we prefer the more natural approach.
Within about 10 minutes of eating the cashew bar, I ended up with a bad stomach ache that lasted for a few hours. It was enough to wake me up from sleep. I think it's the added fibre (from an extract) that was the issue. I'm a vegetarian and consume a high fibre diet already, so it may have just been too much for the day.
10g of protien is alright, especially for a plant based bar. However, there did seem to be a lot of processed ingredients, a lot of fat (probably due to the nuts), a lot of sugars (10g) and a fair bit of sodium (190mg).
We won't be buying these. It would have been nice to have something that is easy to throw in a backpack when heading out for the day, but for average nutrition and okay taste, I think we can do better.

Sweet and salty snack
I really enjoyed this bar, it's almost like eating a chocolate bar/granola bar. I like that it has 10 grams of protein so It's filling. My only critique is the amount of sugar, I prefer a lower amount when choosing a protein bar.
Good!
I would have liked to have liked the product to be less sweet than it is, other than that the taste is good and the sweet salty combination is good besides the protein intake is sufficient would probably buy the product.
This one is my fave.
This protein bar is my fave. out of the two that I tried. The almond, sea salt and dark chocolate are a wonderful combination and I would definitely purchase this again for myself. Love the amount of protein in this power bar and kept me going for quite awhile during the day. I also found this one was not as sweet as the other one so I would prefer this one. #gotitfree #chickadvisor #powerplantproteinalmondseasaltanddarkchocolate
Pretty tasty, but the other flavour is slightly better
Out of the two flavours that i've tried, I believe this one is less tasty than the other one. Although it is a tad sweet for my liking, the description of how the bar tastes is spot on. The dark chocolate helps balance out everything. The cashews aren't as evident as I thought they would be however. I do like that it doesn't have the weird whey protein after taste which is always welcome. Would buy these again but hopefully they make it a tad less sweet.
very yummy!
I got to try this as my sample and i preferred this bar over the cashew, salted caramel and dark chjocolate flavoured bar due to the taste. I love the taste and i feel like it's a super bar where it can help as a quick snack 'on the go' type. It has 32% fibre which is impressive. The only thing i disliked is the 13g of fat and the 190 mg of sodium. Seems a bit high? I'm not a nutritionist but it just seems high in both categories.
