Pure Protein Chocolate Peanut Caramel Protein Bars – 20g Protein, 3g Sugar, 190 Calories (12 count) Low Sugar* High Protein Snack - Gluten Free - Perfect for a Healthy Snack

We think these are really great. They taste good, always have a good reliable consistency, quality and texture and the individual packaging make it convenient and easy to grab and go. The variety of flavors make these appealing to all the adults in the house and the kids like them too! Not too sweet and sugary, but still a good flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. They're packed with protein and a really good value for the money.

These Birthday Cake Pure Protein Bars actually taste really good—way better than I expected for a protein bar. The flavor is spot on without being overly sweet, and the texture is easy to eat. The macros are solid too, with high protein and low sugar, so they’re great as a quick snack or after a workout. I’d definitely buy them again.

I ordered these in Lemon Cake, Chocolate Deluxe and Chocolate Mint Cookie to try them out. Love that I can get 19 - 21 grams of protein in a "meal bar". I found the chocolate deluxe bar to be a bit gritty which I account for by the amount of protein they put in the bar (21 grams) with 17 carbs and 180 calories, but had a nice brownie-type chew to it. The chocolate mint cookie was good, but not as minty as I was expecting (with 19 grams of protein, 20 carbs & 180 calories). The lemon cake bar I was really surprised. It was very tasty, not gritty, had a nice lemon flavor (with 20 grams of protein), but was also the highest in calories with 200 and the lowest in carbs with 16. Any of them eaten with a hot beverage definitely takes the hunger pangs away. I have to say the lemon was definitely my favorite and worth the 200 calories as a meal replacement with a cup of coffee or hot tea. I'd give the lemon a 5 star and the two chocolates 4 stars just because they weren't quite what I was expecting.

So I just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at the age of 44 years old this April of 2025. Tldr it's been a long nightmare of a road trying to find good food and over snacks that are low-carb, low sugar and that actually tastes good. This is obviously falling under the category of something sweet to eat while also packing a good amount of protein. It not having any sugar in it and yet still actually tasting very much. So like a chocolate brownie was very surprising to me. Obviously it still doesn't taste like a real brownie with real sugar, but it's pretty darn close. Protein bar that makes for an easy quick snack that you can grab and take with you or keeping a package then. This is absolutely The thing you're looking for. I actually went with the galactic brownie bars, 12 count box. And I've ordered these a few times now since first getting them. Nice size, good quantity for the number spent, and the ingredients are all healthy which is great for my new diet. The texture is a bit hard, but is a firm brownie protein bar so that's to be expected. Holds up very well in warmer temperatures as well. Again would highly recommend, enjoy!

'I highly recommend Pure Protein Bars! They are packed with high-quality protein, low in sugar, and gluten free—making them a perfect nutritious snack for boosting energy throughout the day. The taste is great, and they keep me full for hours without any guilt. Ideal for anyone looking for a healthy, convenient snack option.'

I have tried countless protein bars over the years, and I can honestly say that Pure Protein Bars are by far the best tasting I have ever had. I was genuinely surprised at how close they come to tasting like a real chocolate bar. Soft, rich, and satisfying, they don’t have that artificial or overly dry texture that many protein bars suffer from. Every bite feels indulgent, yet I know I’m getting a solid dose of protein, which makes it feel like a win-win snack. The chocolate flavor is remarkably realistic—balanced, smooth, and not overpowering. Unlike some protein bars that leave a weird aftertaste or a chalky feeling in your mouth, these feel like a treat you actually look forward to eating. I’ve even caught myself craving them at times, which is something I would never say about a typical protein bar. I take one on every hike I go on in the mountains. They are the perfect companion for long trails because they are filling, energizing, and easy to carry. Whether I’m tackling a steep incline or taking a short break to enjoy the view, having a Pure Protein Bar in my pack feels like a little reward. They give me the energy I need without weighing me down, and I genuinely enjoy every bite along the way. Beyond hiking, these bars are also perfect for post-workout recovery or even just a convenient, satisfying snack when I’m on the go. It’s rare to find a protein bar that manages to hit both taste and nutrition so well, and these absolutely deliver. In short, Pure Protein Bars have set a new standard for me. They are the closest I’ve found to a real chocolate bar while still being packed with protein, and they’ve earned a permanent spot in my backpack, my gym bag, and my pantry. I will definitely be buying them again and again.

I was looking for an alternative to my usual QUEST brand Cookies & Cream protein bars, mainly to have an occasional second option. I mostly use these kind of protein bars in "a pinch" when I need to go out, but my blood sugar is too low, or I'm hungry & don't have the time to cook something before doing so. I'm not very big on 'eating out' on the road. I try to keep a pretty strict diet of sorts & wouldn't touch fast food with a ten foot pole if I was starving. So, in those cases these protein bars generally serve the 2 hours (slightly more or less) that I might need until I can get some actual nutritional food in me. As I stated, QUEST Cookies & Cream has been my 'go to' protein bar for some time. I tried a few of their other options/flavors, but for various reasons the ones I sampled didn't make the grade. When I finally found these PURE PROTEIN (lemon flavored) bars, I was pretty enthusiastic. They exceeded the calorie intake of the QUEST bars slightly (by 10 calories) & were only 1 gram less in protein. The carbs were less (by 6 grams, but these contain NO fiber, whereas the Quest has 13 grams) & the sugar of the PURE PROTIEN was only 1 gram more (with only 3 grams more of sugar alcohols). I thought "1 gram, more sugar and 3 grams more alcohols, how bad could that be!?" Well, it was actually pretty bad. Normally half a Quest bar is what I'll eat on the fly, keeping the other half in the wrapper with me if I need any ore. This (1/2 bar) is good for 1.5 - 2 hrs, for me. With the PURE PROTEIN bars I could only manage to eat 1/3 of the bar due to the excessive sweetness, in comparison to my normal bars and their sweetness in general. Now despite this the bars did suffice to keeping me free of any of the downsides that come with hunger for about 1 hour, or more, but I didn't carry the remaining 2/3 because the thought of having to eat any more really put me off. NOT that they taste "bad" because they don't. They are just too sweet for me. Due to this I can't speak with much confidence on the duration of time they would subside my hunger (@ 5'7 165-170lbs), but again 1/3 of a bar did maintain me for at least an 1 hour, give or take. Its a shame they are so sweet because I do enjoy them until that excessive sugar taste that burns the throat hits me. I should end with mentioning that, though the potassium, iron & calcium content in both bars is essentially ALMOST identical, the sodium content of the QUEST bars (cookies & cream) are 160 grams greater. Which could be a plus, or minus, depending on what the user is in need of. I had these on my subscribe & save, but have since removed them & the ones that remain in my refrigerator will probably stay there a while, but they will definitely be used by me in the future. Lastly, if you're storing your protein bars for any length of time REMEMBER some of these bars do contain oils & because of that they SHOULD BE REFRIGERATED. However, they do harden upon refrigeration so be prepared to remove them prior to consumption for 1-2 hrs (at least, if not 24 hrs) so they won't be so hard to chew. I can't say I would buy these again, but if you do have a sweet tooth they might "perfect" for you.

I once tasted a delicious protein bar made (or sponsored) by Mark Wahlberg branded “Performance Inspired.” It literally tasted like a brownie treat. I have never been able to find another like that, since most protein bars taste like medicine or peanut brittle or wax or just nasty. I decided to try these just for the heck of it, and was pleasantly surprised. They are on the smaller side, but taste similar to what I experienced with the Marky Mark bar. It is a bit creamy and tastes like a cross between a brownie and a milky way in texture. It says gluten free (who knows if that is true), but at 21grams of protein, it has been a great protein boost and snack for after a workout or im between meals.
