Grams of Sugar = Grams of Protein???

I received the Powerbar Plant Protein Cashew, Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate bar for free from ChickAdvisor as part of their product review club opportunity. I was very excited to try a plant based protein bar. I am not vegetarian or vegan, but do try to incorporate as many plant based meals/snacks as possible into my day. I also love cashews and dark chocolate so how could I not love this bar? Well, at 230 calories per bar this is more of a meal replacement than a snack/post workout option. My biggest concern was the fact that the bar has only 10grams of protein (on the low side for a protein bar) and an equal number of grams of sugar 10grams!!! That is crazy! Add to that 12grams of fat and this is not something I will ever buy or eat again. For a bar that is labeled as cashew, salted caramel and dark chocolate it was really sweet. Too sweet for my taste buds. I would be better off eating a chocolate bar and not pretending I am eating something healthy.

Not a fan

am very active and health conscious. I rely on protein bars & powders to increase my protein intake almost daily. I was excited and curious to taste to bars. This flavor was my favorite one but it still missed the mark for me. It's ok, but not that good. Also, it just isn't high enough on protein compared to other brands and taking into consideration the other macronutrients (fats, carbs vs protein). I would give it another try but I probably won't buy those.

Higher Expectations

For a plant based product I found this bar more like a dessert as it was way too sweet. They could lessen the sugars as there is around 10 grams in each bar. It has a nice texture to it but not a great weight so I did not feel satisfied after eating.

Good but high in calories

Overall this bar tastes good but personally, I think this is too high in calories/carbs/sugar for me. I like my protein bars to have 20g+ of protein and this only has 10g. It is tasty and is a good option for someone who is vegan or prefers plant-based bars. Overall, tasty bar but not for me.

Couldn't taste the Caramel

While this did taste good, I couldn't taste the caramel. The Cashew and chocolate overpowered it. I would eat this as a treat but do not be fooled. this is not a nutritious snack as it it advertised. the sugar and salt content is just as much as any other chocolate bar.
That said, the nuts and extra protein makes it taste better than a normal chocolate bar. This is a great treat for long hikes as it did keep my energy up!

Weird bitter aftertaste

I received this product from Chick Advisor for free in exchange for a personal review.

Recently my husband and I went on a trip to Cuba. We brought this bar with us on our Catamaran tour of Cayo Blanco.

At first bite I was so happy that this bar was not super hard and it had a lovely sweet caramelly crunch to it. Then a few seconds later I was hit with this awful bitter aftertaste. It was as if I chewed on an aspirin....so bitter and really yucky.

I ended up finishing it, hoping it was just a one time thing but it kept happening after every bite.

Du sucre en barre!

Je croyais que ça allait être quelque chose de relativement santé, mais quand j'ai pris une première bouchée, c'était plus sucré qu'une barre tendre au chocolat! WOW. Je n'ai pas pu terminer cette barre ni aucune des 4 barres que j'ai reçues gratuitement, car je les trouvaient trop sucrées.

Pretty good for a protein bar

I received this free as part of Chick Advisor's Product Review Club.

This is pretty good for a protein bar. It doesn't have that chalky taste most have, and the flavours are good together. They have a lot of sugar in them though, and you can taste it.

Definitely don't refrigerate them. I had one in my lunch tote at work, and almost broke my teeth when I ate it out of the fridge.

Very hard to chew

When I bit into this, my jaw immediately hurt as it was SO HARD to chew! It is a serious jaw workout, and all the various sugars in the ingredients contribute to this.
Unimpressed with the protein; made of pea powder and largely rice things.
I would not buy this - I would make my own version instead or just stick to the kiddie ones.
