A good vegan option but full of sugar

I got to try both flavors of the new vegan plant-based PowerBar thanks to chick advisor. I found the products to be quite sweet too much like a chocolate bar. Although a good option if you are out on the run and have nothing else to eat, I think that there are better options. Especially if there's only 10 grams of protein. These are by no means a health product although I do appreciate the fact that they are vegan and plant-based. Good job to power bar for creating vegan options, but this product contains too much sugar for the amount of protein that is in it. I would much prefer my regular protein bars made by builders.

Decent nutrition/protein bar

I had a chance to try two flavours of the Powerbars. This flavour (dark chocolate sea salt) was my favourite of the two. I love dark chocolate with sea salt! This bar has a crunchy, chewy texture but, not enough to make my jaw muscles sore ( if you eat enough protein bars you'll know what I mean). The flavour was decent, granted this is a plant protein bar. I would of liked to see more protein in the bar. I enjoy the flaour choice of this bar as well as it being a plant based alternative.

Too Sweet

I found this bar to be very sweet, almost sickly sweet which is better explained by the very high sugar content. The salt from the salted dark chocolate was very evident in the taste. I loved that it was vegan certified and was high in both fiber and plant basked proteins but the taste was overwhelmingly sweet. The bar itself was also very difficult to chew, it made my mouth quite sore. As a treat, I could see this being a good option for those who really like sweets, but I find it misleading to label it as a healthy snack with the high sugar and fat content. #gotitfree

Nourrissant mais trop sucré!

J'ai eu la chance d'essayer les barres PowerBar Plant Protein Amandes, sel de mer et Chocolat Noir, gratuitement grâce à Chickadvisor. J'étais très emballée à l'idée d'essayer une nouvelle barre de céréales car je suis une grande fan de snacks, et surtout je suis à la recherche de snacks santé, car j'essaye de limiter ma consommation de sucre. J'ai été vraiment surprise de voir que la barre seule (d'environ 30g) contient 10g de sucres! Un peu déçue car je m'attendais à quelque chose de santé. Ensuite, le gout est très sucré aussi et ne m'a pas plu. Le seul point positif est que la barre est très nourrissante et que j'ai pu tenir jusqu'au souper facilement en ayant seulement cette barre dans l'après-midi.

Not worth the sugar

I think I enjoyed the Powerbar Plant Protein Cashew, Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate better taste wise than the Almond, Sea salt and dark chocolate. So not my favorite out of the two. The bar is very high in sugar (10g). I know a lot of protein bars have high sugar but I search for the ones with less than 3 grams.

The bar itself kept me full for a bit but not as much as other bars. I do not recommend this product even though I #gotitfree

More of a dessert

This protein bar taste more of a granola bar. I do enjoy the sweet and salty taste. A bit too hard for my liking. Great for a hiking snack. After reading the nutrition label was not as healthy as i thought it would be.

Also not crazy about this

Review from free sample:
The portion size and nutrition values are what you'd expect of a protein bar. Gives you energy and keeps you full for a good amount of time. Texture is dense, again as expected from a protein bar. Flavour was disappointing. I didn't taste any flavour in particular. Compared to the cashew & salted caramel flavour, this flavour was less sweet, which I appreciate. However, again, there was a bitter after taste. I could understand if that aftertaste tasted like pea or other sources of plant protein, but it didn't. It was just lingering and unpleasant. Packaging is nice, and bar looks appealing, and I understand this isn't meant to be a tasty dessert, but I think there is space for improvement in the taste of this product.

Pas pour moi

Grâce à ChickAdvisor, j'ai pu tester les barres tendres PowerBar protéine aux amandes, sel de mer et chocolat noir. Au premier regard, je n'étais pas certaine. Il y a des morceaux verts partout sur la barre et ça ne me semblait pas très appétissant. En y goûtant, j'ai découvert un gout que je connaissais déjà, mais sans être capable de vraiment déterminer ce que c'était. Je n'ai pas vraiment apprécié le produit malgré ses valeurs nutritives. Le produit laisse un arrière gout désagréable en bouche. Ces barres sont très chères et personnellement, je n'en rachèterais pas, même si elles étaient un prix plus raisonnable.

Yum Yum says Marilyn, but my figure!

Amazing taste. Crunchy texture, very fresh and who doesn't love the taste of dark chocolate and sea salt. Yum Yum!

Aside from the taste, I was disappointed with the ingredients (order thereof). This is not my first choice when it comes to what I consider a healthy granola bar or something that I would eat after a workout. It's got too much fat!

It was filling however, as it does have some fibre (7g). It is somewhat healthy due to its protein content (10g). The salty taste was very satisfying after a workout.

I might consider buying this type of bar occasionally (if it's on sale) as a back-up snack at the office, in the car (if I get stuck in traffic) or when I go hiking and don't feel like eating fruit. It's not my first granola bar choice.

High sugar and calories

The taste of this bar isn't too bad for a protien bar, but it have rather high calories and very high sugar for not much protien. Much prefer bars with 1g or 2g of sugar and 16g of protien. This bar has 230 calories, 10g of sugar and only 10g of protien.
