Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe, 50 Gram, 12 Count

I've tried many different varieties of protein bars - everything from Clif bars to Power Bars to various Nature Valley and other offerings, and I prefer this bar above all the rest. My quest has been to find a bar that has a large amount of protein, little sugar, relatively few calories, which is very affordable, and which is relatively shelf-stable and sturdy so that it will still be intact when I need it. Another constraint that might seem strange is that I wanted something that was very edible and good-tasting, but not delicious, so that I wouldn't be tempted to eat them except when I'm actually hungry. This bar is perfect for all of those criteria. I usually buy them at a grocery store, for basically the same price as they are sold on Amazon, but occasionally I get them here if my local store is out. At ~$1 per bar, I consider these a much better value than other offerings, and moreover far more nutritional per calorie compared to other offerings. (Clif Bars' Builder Bars, for example, also have ~20 grams of protein, but have as many as 2x the calories of this bar, cost 2-3x as much, and are no more filling in my opinion).Substituting these in for less nutritional, less filling, and less affordable other snacks has helped me maintain a healthy weight without breaking the bank. I take them backpacking, eat them for meals/snacks if time is tight, and keep a couple in my daily bag for a rainy day.

I eat one of these a day before I work out and it is a fantastic supplement. Only 2g of sugar and 20g of protein is key! I have not tried these bars as a meal replacement, but they are filling. I usually split them up into half before and half after workout.These bars taste pretty good. I can really complain. They do not taste like a super expensive or delightful bar of chocolate, but that is because they are not and they are way more healthy! I am happy with the taste and dense texture.

I love Pure Protein bars so much! I switch between these and Quest bars. These are much easier on the wallet. I eat them when I am in a rush and need something fast. They have a lot of ingredients in them so I don't eat them much, but they taste great! I love warming them up in the microwave for 20 seconds. It makes for such a great, rich dessert, with practically no sugar content, and it is extremely satisfying. The value pack is why I purchased them on Amazon. Though they are a fairly good price in the store, they are even better in the value pack on Amazon. I really do love them. They don't have a funky aftertaste either. My favorite flavor is the chocolate. The other flavors I would pass on. My husband was skeptical of them at first, and he would refuse to eat them, but now he even loves them! He needs high protein levels because he donates plasma. These do the trick to keep his protein levels high.When I buy protein bars, these are the only ones that I will buy (besides Quest) because of the calories, taste and sugar content.

These bars meet all my requirements for a perfect protein bar. They are cheap, tasty, low in carbs, and they use whey protein.Unfortunately, after going through probably 25 boxes of these, I have run into my first issue. The "best by" date is a joke, and Amazon will ship you bars that are stale. The boxes will normally have a "best by" date of about 8-12 months after purchase. As long as you maintain this 8-12 month window, they taste fantastic. They are very soft and taste like low-sugar brownies. Today I received a box that is dated for 3 months from now, and the bars are awful. They are so hard that I can barely even chew them, and they taste mediocre. I don't know if this issue lies on Amazon or Pure Protein's end, but why are they not shipping out the oldest boxes first?

I'm honestly not a fan of protein bars. They all taste like cardboard or mud to me, but my mother absolutely loves these. She munches on them constantly and insists they taste amazing. She loves that they're so dense and filling.I'm just pleased with the speed of arrival and the quality. I live on an island, and the humidity destroys pretty much everything. Any food I purchase has to be triple bagged and locked in sealed containers, and even then, it's usually all stale or ruined within a week. Most of the time, in fact, food purchased from stores ARRIVES stale and ruined. It's a serious problem, and there have been too many occasions when I've purchased these same protein bars and found them stale when I opened the box the same day of purchase.These bars, though, arrived within two days, even to my little island, where shipping always takes three or four days longer than it does to anywhere else. They were fresh, not melted, and wrapped so well in plastic that I didn't have to bag them as much. Several days later, they're still good. The price was also a little better than what I could find in stores, and since I ordered enough to qualify for free shipping, I'm doubly pleased. I'll be ordering these again.

I am a senior citizen who started going to the gym 8 months ago. My bench press weight seemed to have topped out. A friend told me to take protein to help build muscle. I started taking these Pure Protein bars, one an hour before hitting the gym and a second one as I left the gym. Within the next two months I increased my bench press weight from 145 to 170 pounds, and the next month upped it to 180 pounds. I have not really tried to go higher (old bones might not like it), but have now gotten into the habit of eating the Pure Protein bars before and after my workout. The taste is not bad, but it is not a Snickers bar, a lot better then powdered protein.
