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

I tried the IQBAR sampler and the Toasted Coconut Chips flavor is amazing! It has a perfect balance of sweetness and a satisfying coconut crunch. The texture is great, and it doesn’t taste artificial at all. It’s filling, low sugar, vegan, keto-friendly, and high in fiber—making it a perfect snack or quick meal replacement. I’m definitely impressed and would buy this flavor again.

**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.

These protein bars truly taste delicious and are good for you as well! They have 12 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber with no added sugar. They are great for a snack or a small meal replacement and I even use them as dessert at times because they are just that good!

For a keto gluten free food bar, I won’t say great, but they’re good. At least the chocolate flavor, I also like the coconut chocolate chip flavor. Unfortunately the other flavors are rather lackluster. My only issue other than lack of variety that I like, is that I’d really prefer that they didn’t put in whatever little crunchy chunks they do. They are not really a pleasant texture and kind of take away from the experience they’re more like peppercorn texture than rice crispy texture. I have noticed that some batches have more or less of these, which is a bit suspect in terms of consistency of nutritional value. All that said, I still like them, just wish they were better.

These plant protein bars are surprisingly good. The chocolate flavors taste natural, not overly sweet, and the texture is satisfying compared to many other protein bars. They’re filling and work well as a quick snack or light meal replacement. I also like the ingredient profile—feels cleaner and easier on the stomach than many protein bars I’ve tried before. The variety pack is a nice way to try different flavors without getting bored. Overall, very happy with the taste, quality, and nutrition. Would definitely buy again.

Great taste, satisfies my hunger, gentle on the glucose rise. At about two hours, glucose peaked at 20 points higher, and at four hours glucose was back to baseline. Great source of protein, good source of fiber, all with great taste. Costs less per g of protein than some other products. You don't need to wash it down. Sealed in freshness. Doesn't melt and get messy

I tried the IQ BAR 7 Flavor Sampler Pack and I’m genuinely impressed. From the packaging to the taste, these bars deliver exactly what they promise. Each bar has 12g of plant protein, very low sugar, and clean ingredients that make you feel good after eating them. The variety of flavors is fantastic, and each one has its own unique taste. My personal favorites so far are Chocolate Mint Chip and Almond Butter Chip, but honestly every flavor is delicious, natural, and never overly sweet. I also love that the texture is soft and enjoyable—not dry or hard like many other protein bars. These bars are perfect for work, the gym, or a quick snack when you need something healthy and satisfying. After trying the sampler pack, I can confidently say I’ll be buying them again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a tasty, clean, and smart snack option!

I have eaten low carb bars for breakfast for years, but I decided to try a bar that is healthier. IQ bar has less mystery products I can't pronounce, no seed oils. But the word natural ingredients concerns me. High in fiber and protein and low in sugar was a must. Plus this bar tastes good. The mint chocolate chip is my favorite. This bar keeps me full in the morning. The downside is the price and it is not Bobby approved. Over $2.00 per bar.

Tres bon

Good product. Somewhat overpriced.

Delicious and tasty bars with a great nutritional value.

These are really good. Perfect size for a mid afternoon snack. Pre or post workout. Will be buying more.

Ideal to supplement your daily protein intake while indulging yourself whit a delicious treat. The merging of the ingredients has no retro taste while you're able to distinguish and enjoy them. So far, I've tried the Blueberries and the Almond butter flavor. Awesome In summarizing, a perfect balance of nutrients. A must for your backpack whether on the go or at home.
