PureFit Vegan Protein Bars, 20g Plant Based Protein Bar, Sampler Variety Pack (6 Pack) - Gluten Free Protein Bars, Protien Bars

I have a dairy allergy, which eliminates most protein shakes and WHEY stuff that I can drink or eat. As well as chocolates and yummy dessert flavored stuff. THIS IS THE JACKPOT! Great taste, great nutrients, high protein, quality bar, and excellent bang for your buck! I started writing this review as soon as I bit in to a couple of these delicious, protein packed, bars of goodness 🤟

I was looking for a gluten-free, dairy-free protein bar that has a reasonable balance between the amount of sugar and the amount of protein. Too many of the bars I find have twice the sugar content as they do protein and I needed something with less. I located this brand at the local grocery store and I really enjoy this flavor. They are chewy, not quite as dry as some brands, and plenty sweet without unnecessary extra sugar content. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't eat one as a dessert or for fun, but when I find I won't be able to get a meal on time, I much prefer to have one of these in my purse and get a drink of water to go with it than to go searching for a gluten/dairy free high protein snack at a gas station or elsewhere. The price I paid per bar on Amazon is lower than the cost to buy them individually at a local store. When I have one of these, I typically am not hungry for at least 2 hours, sometimes longer depending on my activity level.

I really like these. Good protein to calorie ratio for a protein bar (~11.5 calories per gram of protein). I personally quite like the taste and texture, but it's more akin to a cereal bar than a candy bar like other protein bars. In fact the peanut butter crunch ones remind me very much of Peanut Butter Crunch cereal, go figure. It would be nice to have some pea protein thrown in the mix, but that's a minor nitpick. The only real downside to me is the price, being noticeably more expensive than Zone Perfect or Clif Builders or PROBAR brands, which is not a minor downside; that said, it's still more affordable than Orgain or think! or Misfits bars.

When first purchasing this variety pack, I was excited to see how such high protein content could be packed into these bars while using agave as the sweetener. Sadly, once these arrived, I was very disappointed. They taste strongly of protein powder and have a plastic texture. It was as if I was eating paraffin dipped styrofoam. The peanut butter crunch flavor was very dry and impossible to get through. The chocolate brownie flavor smelled awful and almost musty in nature, which made tasting it very difficult. After attempting to try the third flavor in this sample pack, my family and I all agree that these are not for us, and we will not purchase this brand ever again. For those who like a very forward taste of protein powder and the crunchiness gone slightly stale of the rice puffs, you may find these to your liking. However, I cannot imagine these ever being more than an acquired taste with high motivation to eat something of this nature.

Taste is a 10. In fact, I would choose to eat this over a MilkyWay, 3 Musketeers, Snickers, etc. Herein lies the problem, this is nothing more than a glorified candy bar. Tons of sugar and it's addicting because you think "oh this is a protein bar and healthy" - NOPE! I was eating up to 3 of these a day thinking I was cutting back on meals and calories and I would be losing weight. All that sugar compared to protein and fat ratio is completely not worth it and you will find yourself baffled at the lack of results. I actually gained more weight (fat, not lean muscle) when I used these for dieting than any other bar supplement I have tried. I would strongly recommend these candy bars ONLY for people who are routinely doing endurance training such as a marathon, cycling, triathlon, etc... If you buy these, enjoy them like a healthy treat instead of grabbing a regular candy bar, this one at least has added protein, but treat these no different than a Butterfinger. And I'm guessing if you are into being in shape they are not part of your typical diet.

These bars are non-GMOand the price got me interested. I bought them though I was a bit skeptical as they were quite cheap. Surprisingly they tasted okay. They have 20 grams of plant-based protein and work very good for a snack or meal replacement. Their only downfall is that they are drier than I would like. So overall, I do recommend them, and I myself have bought them several times now. They don't cost much, they are non-GMO and taste okay, just be prepared for them to not be as moist as some bars around.

Taste.. 10-10 Texture.. 6-10 gave that warm Hershey's Crunch Bar feel. Moisteness.. 1-10 As dry as rice cakes made in the sahara dessert for 5,000 years so sun bleached that when touched they crumble to dust in the mouth. Like remember when you where young and did the Cinnamon's Challenge!?!?

My favorite protein bar! I love the texture of these bars and I hsve not had a flavor I didn't like. My favorite is the peanut butter chocolate chip because it tastes like cookies and feels like I'm eating cookie dough. I think the oatmeal one would be my 2nd favorite. It has the texture to almost eating peanut butter or any nut butter really. So if you don't like that thick texture this might not be for you. I like that it also makes you need to drink water with it because that will also keep you hydrated during the day and feel fuller. I also appreciate that it doesn't have sugar alcohols and added fiber. Those bars make my stomach turn. The fiber is pretty low but I eat a lot of vegetables so I appreciate that. Great snack for on the go or traveling when protein options are limited.
