⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My Favorite Protein Bar – Keeps My Cravings in Check! I’ve bought these IQBAR Peanut Butter Chip bars so many times, and they never disappoint. The peanut butter flavor is legit, and the little chocolate chips make it feel like a treat without all the sugar. A lot of protein bars taste chalky or weirdly artificial, but these are actually good. The biggest thing for me is that they help keep my cravings in check, especially at night. Instead of reaching for something sugary, I’ll have one of these, and it totally satisfies me. Plus, 12g of plant protein and only 1g of sugar. ✔ Tastes great without being too sweet ✔ Actually filling – doesn’t leave me hungry an hour later ✔ Super clean ingredients with no weird aftertaste ✔ Perfect for on-the-go, workouts, or just when I need a quick bite I’ve tried a lot of protein bars, and these are hands down one of the best. If you’re looking for something low-carb, high-protein, and not loaded with junk, you’ll love these. Highly recommend!

**Updated Review -9/29/2021-** I'm finally submitting an updated review. I was sent a sample variety box from the Co-Founder. I was hesitant about these bars at 1st but gradually tried each. Indeed they did make changes. I gotta say, great improvements. The flavors are much better than before and have more of a moist, yet not oily, oatmeal/soft-like texture. Normally I like my bars cold but these are very good at room temperature. I went ahead and tried a bit of the remaining ones. I'll go through each favor. 1) Matcha Chai: I didn't even know they had this flavor. It's a new one to me. The matcha flavor is there and on point. It's a flavor I'm not used to but it might grow on me. I definitely like the ingredients this one has. 2) Blueberry Lemon: Far better, strong blueberry and lemon flavor with blueberry bits. 3) Blueberry: This had a deeper blueberry flavor, a better improvement. Good bits of blueberry. 4) Banana Nut: Definitely better, the banana nut hits the taste buds quickly. 5) Almond Butter Chip: I'm an almond and peanut butter lover and this one is quite good. May end up one of my favs. I did taste the almond butter quite well and the chocolate chips taste good. 6) Peanut Butter Chip: A solid improvement. The peanut butter flavor hit me a bit later than the almond butter. Not really a bad note, the peanut butter flavor is there. Peanut butter chocolate tends to be my favorite flavor so this may end up on the top for me. 7) Chocolate Seasalt: Although I'm normally not a fan of flavored bars with sea salt. this is far better than before. Good chocolate flavor and sea salt is there. On another note, I like their branding. The box shows what the bar actually looks like versus other brands showing some indulging treat of what it suppose to taste like. They even show videos of breaking apart the bars. And there you have it. Nice improvements IQ Bars. I can see these now as a good alternative choice for me. **Original** I've tried many different types of protein bars, starting from whey and switching to plant protein. I've seen recent reviews mentioning these bars taste better due to a new/better formula but these are very bland in flavor. I'm at the close point of giving this a 2 star. I give protein bars a good try and see how my tastebuds adjust to them. My tastebuds normally adjust well to new brands I try. The problem is these bars fail in the 1st impression in flavor. Even at a health standpoint, it shouldn't compromise flavor. I bought both variety packs, the chocolate and fruit lovers. Both so far are very bland and I just plan to choke these down so I don't waste the money but also to give these a full complete try. Maybe I got a bad batch but then that's also a problem. If IQBAR has really improved their bars, needs to be consistency across the board. Everyone is different, you may or may not like these. I wanted to try all the flavors but so far none are my favorite. I get health and nutrition, but not cutting corners. So here is my overall: Price: 3 - Avg/Fair - Price is around average imo compared to most plant protein bars but I've had better. Taste: 1.5 - Very bland - 1.5 - These bars may be the blandest bars I've had yet or at least in 2nd place which is a shame because also included in the box is a little sheet saying "we improved our bars". Texture: 3 - Semi Dry/soft - I'm fine with the texture. It has somewhat of a semi-moist granola texture. Ingredients: 4 - The main reason I decided to try, the ingredients look good overall. They look like a good alternative choice. Packaging: 5 - Packaging was great. Clean box design, no reckless handling, and bars in good shape. If you plan to try, I recommend one of the variety packs and hope you enjoy them. Unfortunately, these are leaning to a no-go for me. Maybe in the future that will change.

Overall good quality ingredients to curb appetite (no added sugars, decent source of protein (12gs), and prebiotic Fiber (6gs) to help digestion.) No artificial sweeteners which is a big plus (sweetened by Stevia plant extract and other natural flavors dependent on the flavor). I do not think the brain nutrients (Lion's Mane) in these bars is substantial enough to make an overall difference in cognitive function of the brain, but a nice added bonus that I have not seen in any other protein/nutrition bars on the market. Reasonable price - as a whole I will round up to a 4.0/5. All had relatively good texture. The more I liked the flavor of the bar, the more I was able to subsequently enjoy the texture. As, all the bars are soft (not chewy) and easy to digest. Taste Almond Butter Chip - 4.5/5 (had more of an oatmeal chocolate chip flavor to m y buds, but my favorite of the variety pack.) Peanut Butter Chip - 4.0/5 (My second favorite in flavor behind the Almond Butter Chip, these 2 were the 2 definite standouts imo.) Banana Nut - 4.0/5 Toasted Chocolate Chip - 3.5/5 Chocolate Sea Salt - 3.0/5 Wild Blueberry - 3.0/5 Lemon Blueberry - 2.5/5 (least favorite, personal preference but did not care for the added lemon flavor in comparison to the Wild Blueberry, those 2 were definitely the least 2 enjoyable imo.)

I tried one of these from the limited selection in a local store, I was impressed. The 12 grams of protein and 3 net carbs worked well for me. I’m diabetic and struggle getting enough protein since animal products do not agree with me often. These bars are a great snack or meal supplement for me. The texture took me a bit to get used to, and I so wish they would drop using palm oil, but those are personal issues. The flavors are decent, but more importantly to me is 12grams of plant protein. I’ve already ordered more to start stocking up for summer activities. Convenient to stick in a bag. Since it’s winter weather, I can’t vouch for how well they will hold up in the heat, it I don’t forsee any issues. I can jump my blood sugar with just about anything, but for that to work, I need protein to slow absorption and make it less likely to spike and drop. I think these will do the trick. Yes there are a lot of protein bars out there, but most so sugar laden it does me almost no good. The lower net carbs, extra fiber and good easy to digest protein truly were what I’ve been looking for!

The texture of all the bars are good, but there isn’t a lot of chocolate flavor. The almond butter one is very cinnamony, the flavor of the peanut butter one is almost fruity and not very good. The chocolate and sea salt one has the most chocolate flavor of course but over all isn’t very sweet or decadent. Not bad but not my favorite over all.

I love them. There's not a lot of bars under net 4 gr of carbs that taste very good. These ones do.

IQ bars are a good sourse of protien. They taste great.

I appreciate that these are NOT too sweet. Just right! Like having them in the morning instead of early breakfast. I tried macha and lemon - both are very nice. The lemon one is nice and refreshing. I love it.

The flavour is incredible!

These bars taste great, however, each time I would have one bar in one sitting I would end up being constipated. For that reason, I will not repurchase.
