FITCRUNCH Full Size Protein Bars, 6-Layer Baked Bar, 7g of Sugar, Gluten Free & Soft Cake Core (12 Bars, Mint Chocolate Chip)

Most protein bars are either disgusting or blandly disgusting. This one tastes good. There is a nice blend of flavors- caramel, nut, vanilla cookie, and chocolate. There is a variety of textures - crunchy, gooey and smooth. I have taken them on Army field exercises when it's 105°, had heavy equipment fall on them, taken them on various trips, and they still taste good despite all the abuse. The wrapper is very strong. I would not serve them to guests for dinner - they are absolutely not gourmet items. Real food tastes better. But when I need to take nonperishable food with a very high protein content with me, these are the best of the many I have tried.

As a nurse, during a busy 12 hour shift these bars are just what I need to help me push through and avoid the “crash” of eating something too sweet. They’re convenient, taste delicious, and keep me satisfied until I’ve got time for an actual meal.

This bar is like cheating. It tastes very good, not chalky, not thick that it sticks in your throat, but most of all this protein bar in a healthy indulgence. I recommend it. Be mindful to let Amazon know to deliver it in some kind of shade because the delivery person for mine left my package out in the sun causing the bars to melt in the heat. But the flavor remained!

A friend and I were talking about protein bars and did a swap of our favorites. This brand was hers, specifically the chocolate peanut butter bars. They tasted like a peanut butter snickers so I went on Amazon and ordered this variety pack.I would first like to say that most protein bars are ok. As in, most are edible, fill a void, and vaguely resemble whatever “treat” they are supposed to. These legitimately taste like a candy bar. The whole variety pack was good. The only complaint I have: and it is a me thing- not the fault of the company; is that I ordered the wrong size bars. I didn’t know these bars came in a snack and a bigger meal size bar. I was taken by surprise by how large these were. It isn’t a big deal, I split them and eat a half before a work out. But if you’re a gym bro looking for a lot of protein and a great taste these are your bars.You might be wondering what bars I switched my friend for; and how they compare? I will tell you. They are the Alani protein bars. The caramel crunch is my favorite and taste a lot like a 100 grand bar. These bars are better. I still like the Alani but it is nice to have a variety of options.I have included a couple of photos One is of the bars in this pack and the other is a pic of this bar and a snack size one.

I loyally purchased Quest bars for years. I liked the lack of soy and the short list of ingredients. Then they changed their formula last year, and I found the new bars barely edible. So I started exploring my other options. I stick to whey protein instead of soy because it is easier to digest. There are lots of 3-400 calorie bars, but as a 5’4” lady I prefer a 200 calorie bar as a pre-workout snack. GNC sells a lot of these as single bars, and this is a good (but slightly expensive) way to buy some bars to decide what you like. Here my personal summary of whey based approximately 200 calorie high protein bars:1. Fit Crunch bars. Easily my favorite. Produced by celebrity Chef Robert Irvine. Tastes like a candy bar. My favorite is by far the peanut butter version, but the cookie dough and cookies and cream are still good. Personally I find the cookies and cream one slightly on the sweet side and is my least favorite. I don’t like eating these on the go because sometimes I end up trying to track down little chocolate pieces from my clothing, car, etc. The main trouble with these bars is finding a place to buy them. GNC has the large version of theses bars (380 calories). Sometimes CVS has them for sale individually. Walmart carries boxes, but they are often out of stock. My local Walmart stopped carrying the small size, and I don’t have the self-control to eat half of a large one. I have tried ordering from Amazon but they always arrive melted. All of my friends are now obsessed with these which is probably why I cannot find them in my local stores anymore. 190 calories, 16g protein and 3g sugar2. Combat Crunch bars. My second favorite after Fit Crunch bars. I have less trouble with these melting when I order them online, but they sometimes taste a little stale from Amazon. Again the chocolate peanut butter flavor is my favorite. I have liked most of the flavors with the exception of the birthday cake flavor that tasted like fruit loops in stale icing (uniquely awful). These can also be messy to eat on the go, but better than Fit Crunch and Power Crunch in this respect. 210 calories, 20g protein and 5g sugar**Update: I am concerned about the quality control on these bars. I have had several bars purchased from Amazon, Kroger and now GNC that have been firm/stale instead of the normal soft filling. I have not decided if I will continue to buy these, and I decreased my rating accordingly**3. Power Crunch bars. My husband and I both found these to be too dry and generally without much flavor. I do like the peanut butter flavor because it reminds me of halavah (middle eastern candy made from sesame seeds). These can also be messy to eat. I have found these at GNC, Kroger and Walmart (and of course Amazon). 200 calories, 13g protein and 5g sugar.**Update: These are growing on me. They taste dramatically better chilled. The flavor is subtle but pleasant. I like the peanut butter and chocolate mint versions. The texture reminds me of a Kit Kat. This is my new second favorite bar.**4. Quest bars. The least messy of the group. They have more of a chewy texture than the other bars which keeps them from falling apart. As I mentioned, this used to be my favorite bar but the new formula has a weird chemical flavor to it that I cannot get past. 190 calories, 21g protein and 4g carbs**Update: Quest must have done some more formula tweaking because they taste like they used to before the 2015 recipe change disaster. I only buy them from places that I know have new stock.**5. Oh Yeah Victory Bars. These are way too sweet with a weird processed taste. They also have a chewy texture. I imagine that they would have been easy to eat on the go if I had not given them away after eating half of one bar. 200 calories 21g protein 8g sugar. I have not tried the new Oh Yeah! One bars.6. Fit Elite Baked Protein Bar. Also produced by celebrity Chef Robert Irvine. Tastes like a Quest bar mixed with chalk. The texture is slightly more dense than a Quest bar. Barely edible. 180 calories 20g protein7. Mission 1 Clean Protein Bar. Similar taste and texture to Quest bars. These are slightly more dense. The taste is inferior to Fit Crunch, Combat Crunch bars and Quest bars. 210 calories 21g protein 1g sugar

great product, the smaller size is better for single servings

Great texture, soft but chewy on the inside & crunchy on the outside. Super yummy flavor. I am a mint lover.....very refreshing. Kinda like a meal & dessert all in one. Very satisfying.

I've always loved these bars. I'm diabetic, so low sugar is important. I exercise, wgts, biking, so protein is important. I recently have a health issue where I need lots of calories. These provide so much nutrition in a delicious bar to take anywhere.

The bars are tasty, but I ordered a box of 12 full size bars and only received a box of snack size bars (which is equivalent to 9 full size bars). Very disappointing!

These protein bars have a great taste and crunchy texture. They are high in carbs in addition to being high in protein.

Indulgent, tasty protein bars which are probably not great for you but definitely replace a meal and in my opinion, they worked hard at getting the flavours and textures right. Way overpriced though.

I’m not even going to talk about the nutritions. This bar is just ridiculously tasty . Like , if I could have any candy bar I want , protein or otherwise, I would choose this one ... it’s that good..

Pesanti da mangiare, gusto molto persistente, lascia un sentore di chimico in bocca.
