    Powerbar plant protein

    I received this powerbar plant protein from xystuff. I been looking for plant protein as I don’t like the taste of regular protein powder/ bar. But this powerbar didn’t have the strong taste of others protein bar. Also it filled with a lot of almond that make the protein bar a little bit crunchy.

    A nutty chocolate treat with the benefits of a protein bar!

    I was lucky enough to be selected by chick advisor to try this and a few other power bar plant based protein bars so I was really impressed that each flavour was actually different. If you like almonds, which I do, you will love this! The almond, sea salt, and dark chocolate combination is delicious. This honestly tastes more like a granola bar than it does a protein bar which, I love. It gives you 10 grams of protein through real ingredients, not artificial sweeteners.

    The only thing I would say, is this is a other sweeter than what I expect from dark chocolate and sea salt, not this is a bad thing, just a disclaimer to anyone wanting a saltier sweet treat.

    Overall, great stand out flavour and definitely a product I would recommend.

    Tasty and great in a pinch

    I was sent POWERBAR PLANT PROTEIN ALMOND, SEA SALT AND DARK CHOCOLATE free in exchange for an honest review.

    Yum! If you are a fan of salted almonds and a darker variety of chocolate, you will appreciate this bar. Sort of a combination of a chocolate bar and a granola bar, in terms of flavour and texture.

    chewy, filling, delicious

    everything a protein bar should be, lots of fiber and fats too so it's filling. I like the cashew version better as a personal preference, but this one is still tasty and chewier.

    Mix of salt and sweet didn't go well!

    Almond flavour was better but still not my favourite. I really think this company should stick to either end of the spectrum - either make the bar sweet or salty but not a combination for both.

    Awesome protein bar

    I really liked this bar. I love the mix of salty and sweet and this one was fantastic. It had the chunks of almond which were also really tasty and even if it was healthy it felt like a treat mid-afternoon.

    Tasty Plant-Based Protein

    I was fortunate enough to receive 2 of each flavour of PowerBar Plant Protein Bars for free from PowerBar and Chick Advisor. I will not receive financial compensation for my review.

    Also of note, the packaging for the bars I received had a slightly different flavour description, "Almond, Sea Salt and Dark Chocolate Flavoured".

    Each bar has: 230 cal., 13g Fat, 22g Carbohydrates, 10g Protein, 8g Fibre, 190mg Sodium, 6% Daily Value of Calcium and 15% Daily Value of Iron.

    This bar has a great nutty caramel flavour that is sweet and a little bit salty with a hint of earthiness. Unlike many protein bars, this one does not have that chalky, protein powder taste. The consistency is medium soft, like a cross between a seed/nut bar and a granola bar. I really like the crunchy texture, it's very satisfying. The pea and rice protein crisps are fairly bland though occasionally they have a slight bitter taste. I don't taste chocolate in this bar at all. If you're looking to get your chocolate fix along with your protein, these are not the bars you're looking for.

    These bars would be great for someone who needs a convenient, portable, plant-based and/or soy-free protein source. Since the second ingredient is inulin, they might also be useful for someone who needs to avoid spikes in their blood glucose level.

    Based on flavour alone, I would pick one of the Plant Protein bar flavours over any other protein bar because they are delicious and don't taste like protein powder. For me personally though, these bars are not a good value at $1-$2 CAD for 10g of protein. I am neither vegan nor vegetarian so for the same price I could buy one of the other varieties of PowerBar protein bars that have 20 g of protein.

    Overall, I'd recommend this bar to someone who needs convenient, plant-based protein or to someone who can't stand the taste of traditional protein bars, for everyone else I think there are better options out there.

    Wow

    These bars are fabulous! To be honest, I wasn't expecting much. Plant protein? I thought these would taste more green, like a plant, lol! Not at all. Great taste and texture.

    delicious and healthy?

    The PowerBar Plant Protein Almond, Sea Salt and Dark Chocolate I received from chickadvisor to test tasted great. It filled me up for quite a while - longer than the usual granola bars I steal from my kids.
