IQBAR Plant Protein Bars - Chocolate Lovers Variety - Keto, Vegan, Low Carb, High Fiber, Gluten/Dairy Free, Low Sugar Snack with Nutrients for Focus, Energy, Meal Replacement 12-Count

As someone who prioritizes health and wellness, I was excited to try these bars, and they exceeded my expectations. The 7-bar sampler pack allowed me to explore different flavors, and I loved them all! The texture is perfect – not too chewy or too crunchy. I appreciate that they're:- High in fiber and protein- Low in sugar- Gluten-free and vegan-friendly- Made with wholesome, plant-based ingredientsThese bars have become a staple in my daily routine, serving as a satisfying meal replacement or post-workout snack. The taste is amazing, and I feel great knowing I'm fueling my body with good stuff. Kudos to IQBAR for creating such a wonderful product! I'll be purchasing more. Highly recommended!

There are delicious!! My favorite flavor is the lemon blueberry, but honestly they all taste soo yummy. I like that they don’t have a lot of sugar, only 2 grams, and they still give me 12 grams of protein which makes them perfect after working out or when I just want a healthy snack. They are also keto friendly, vegan, and gluten free. The texture is nice too because it’s crunchy on the outside but soft in the middle, so it feels like a treat without being junk food. I think they’re totally worth trying and I’d get them again for sure.

I recently found IQ Bar at my local Costco a few months back, all they had was a box of Peanut Butter Chip, Chocolate Seasalt, and the Almond Butter variety pack so that’s where I started. I instantly loved them, even the chocolate sea salt which is a flavor I normally don’t go for. You got many bars for the price(atleast at Costco lol), so it was a good deal and they were yummy and offered 12g of protein which is a good “snack”. They also don’t have that nasty “musty” smell that most low carb snacks have. The quality of the bar tastes great and the texture is sort of like a soft and chewy fudge brownie. They are not sticky.Well, Costco ran out so I turned to Amazon which is when I discovered there were more than just those 3 flavors. I immediately ordered the sampler pack.Here’s my ranking from BEST to WORST:Almond Butter ChipBanana NutPeanut Butter ChipChocolate SeasaltChocolate MintToasted Coconut Chip (which shocked me because I love coconut!)annnnd last and DEFINITELY LEAST… Lemon Blueberry. This bar alone took away a star from the rating because it literally made me want to hurl. I know taste is an opinion and preference, but for the love of all that is holy.. don’t eat this flavor. Tastes like the devil’s butt mixed with lemon pledge and children’s tears.

These bars are a​n ​e​xcellent find for ​t​hose that seeking a healthy snack. The flavors in the sampler are delicious and they satisfy hunger without a sugar crash. With their high protein and fiber content, they offer incredible value for a clean​ product.​The bars are the perfect smart snack for both brain and body energy. They are incredibly convenient, making it easy to stick to healthy eating habits no matter how busy my day gets

**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.

I tried the IQBAR sampler pack, and overall I’m pleased. The flavors are enjoyable, not overly sweet, and they have a nice balance of texture. It feels like a clean snack — plant-based, gluten-free, vegan — which is exactly what I look for. The protein punch (about 12g) is decent for a bar, especially given there’s only 1-2g sugar per serving, which helps keep the energy steady without sugar crashes.AmazonA few things to note: some of the bars are a bit dry if eaten without water, so having a drink alongside helps. Also, the texture varies a little among flavors — nutty ones are richer, fruity ones are lighter, which might matter depending on your preference. But in general, it’s great for busy mornings, post-workout, or just a healthy snack to carry.If you want something that’s satisfying, clean, and won’t give you a sugar spike, this hits the mark nicely.
