Not a great tasting protein bar

I love lemon poppy seed and I was really excited to taste the PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed, however I was really disappointed. While the protein content is decent and there isn't a lot of sugar in the product the flavour is unpleasant. The lemon is almost an afterthought and the texture of the bar is very chalky. The bars have the texture of baked goods where the the baking soda hasn't been fully mixed into the batter. The poor texture combined with the flavour would prevent me from purchasing or recommending this product. I received this product free to test for ChickAdvisor. #gotitfree

Different taste experience

I was curious to try a bar other than chocolate to see how I'd like it. I do enjoy the occasional lemon poppy seed muffin or cake, so wanted to see how they could convert this pleasant flavour into an energy bar. The lemon is nice, not too strong, and there are enough poppy seeds. It had an icing sugar taste for me from the top coating. If you like lemon, this is a bar for you.

I received this for free to review from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club.

Didn't like the taste of this Power Bar

I recently had a chance to try this Power Bar for free from Chick Advisor. It filled me up for the afternoon so I didn't snack all day like I usually do. I really didn't like the taste of it unfortunately. It tasted really chalky so I found it hard to eat the whole bar.

Didn't like the taste of this Power Bar

I recently tried the Lemon Poppy seed reduced sugar Power Bar. It kept me full for the whole afternoon and I liked the nutritional benefits of the bar. However, I really didn't like the taste of the bar. It tasted like chalk and it was hard to eat the full bar.

Not worth it at all.

I understand they want the product to be healthy but that shouldn't mean I have to compromise on taste. It's really bland and doughy texture as if I was eating flour. The only good part was the outer coating.

I've had better!

I tried this flavor as well as the peanut butter one. This one you could taste the protein more than the peanut butter one. I'm not an avid protein bar eater but I have tired several and this isn't one of my favourite. I noticed it leaves a film in your mouth, definitely have water near by.

Too sweet for me

I received the Powerbar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar in Lemon Poppyseed from the Chickadvisor product review club for free for my honest option.

I keep protein bars in my bedside table for those weekday mornings I don’t have time to make breakfast before leaving for work and those weekend mornings I wake up hungry but don’t want to get out of bed yet.

I did not enjoy this bar, in fact I was only able to eat half of one. I am a fan of lemon poppy seed and while I enjoyed the lemon flavour over all the bar was too sweet. I also not did not like the texture. Holding the bar it felt lighter than I was expecting and looking at the photo on the wrapper I was expecting something similar to a lemon loaf. It was a little like a lemon loaf, but a stale one.

This is not a product I will be buying.

Great idea, not so great execution

I was really excited to try this flavour as I love lemon poppy seed loaf, but the chalky texture was really off putting. Though I enjoyed how it did not stick in my mouth, I was left disappointed by the flavour which while accurate was very subtle

Filling but not the taste I prefer

This one was ok. I think it's just my taste preferance that made it less enjoyable. I still ate the whole bar and it kept me full for about 3 hours. If you like lemon then I think you'd enjoy this one.

Nice lemony flavour

I got the #PowerBarProteinPlusReducedSugarLemonPoppySeed bar to #tryforfree from ChickAdvisor, The lemony flavour was nice and refreshing and the bar was cake like so it was like eating cake with lemon icing, not bad for something that is supposed to be healthy. It did have that weird aftertaste that all protein bars seem to have but there was enough lemon to somewhat hide it. It made a convenient snack to grab on my way out of the house but I wouldn't ever crave one. It would be convenient to throw in your gym bag to have for an after workout snack.
