No Cow Vegan Protein Bars, Upgraded Original Variety Pack | 20g Plant Based Protein, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Keto Friendly, Low Sugar, High Fiber Snack Bars | Pack of 12

No cow protein bars are great for people with dairy allergies or gluten allergies. More than that, they're tasty and provide a good ratio of protein to carbohydrates. Perfect for an afternoon snack or a post-workout boost.

I LOVE these protein bars. They contain a lot of complete protein with all essential amino acids, they're lower in calories than most bars this size with this much protein and they contain a great amount of fiber. Note: The fiber is soluble fiber and I DO wish these contained insoluble fiber. No Cow has a wide variety of flavors and I've never had one that I didn't like but I'll just write about the three that are in this pack. One of the bars is covered in a thin layer of chocolate and this bar is more firm than the other two. The inside is similar to a peanut butter candy bar. It's not as soft as peanut butter but it taste like a candy bar which a hint of liquor-like flavor after taste due to the sugar alcohol included in the ingredients but that didn't bother me much because it was similar to how marzipan tastes but with peanut flavor instead of almonds as marzipan has. The next bar is similar to a peanut butter cookie dough with chocolate chips. This is my favorite of all three. It's very moist and extremely soft. The consistency is truly like chocolate chip peanut butter cookie dough in the shape of the bar with a ton of protein. I try to eat this one slowly in order to savor it but it's difficult because it tastes like a naughty dessert. I usually want another one after I finish this one but I make myself wait the 20 minutes it takes for the message that I'm full to reach my brain so that I don't eat more of them. Your body can only use 20 grams of protein at once sitting so eating more than one would be a waste, in my opinion. Lastly, is similar to the cookie dough texture in the bar above but it's a chunky peanut butter bar. It has chopped pieces of real peanuts throughout the peanut butter bar. Keep in mind that this bar and the cookie dough bar are NOT covered in chocolate as many assume when buying protein bars. Though very good, I'd say this was my least favorite of the three only because I would have liked some form of chocolate inside or outside of it rather than being peanut throughout. Please note that I still really like and would buy this bar again but if I have to rate all three bars, this one would be last.

Bought for the hi protein count. Taste is okay but some options have an odd aftertaste. Worth a try

When one reads such encouraging reviews about an item, it gives one a lot of hope that the product will be good. It’s a good feeling. Of course, the polar opposite of that feeling is the one of deflation that one experiences when they observe the reality that so many people are so deluded by other interests and influences that they completely ignore the cold hard fact that the thing they have praised is a lump of garbage. That’s what I experienced with this product. Of course I wasn’t expecting a candy bar or some delicious snack that I would crave fortnightly. I did, however, expect something that was at least palatable, but these things are nearly inedible. The only thing “Chocolate Mint Cookie,” “Sprinkled Chocolate Donut,” or “Chocolate Salted Caramel” about these things are the pictures depicted on their wrappers. In reality, these things are barely distinguishable from one other in appearance and in flavor, and they all have one striking thing in common: They’re disgusting. The “dipped” aspect is what anyone would expect. A semi-sweet, dark chocolate coating that is not unlike any other protein bar that has chocolate as an ingredient. The insides (I won’t use the word “filling,” because that’s not what this is) seem to be a flavorless substance with a chalk/corn starch consistency that has been packed together without even a drop of moisture. It is virtually impossible to chew and swallow without first filling one’s mouth with a liquid to moisten the bite of Sahara that has just been placed into the oral entryway. The bar could easily be crumbled back into a powdery substance, leading one to believe that the product is simply plant-based protein powder packed tightly into a tiny brick before being quickly coated in the thinnest layer of no-dairy dark chocolate. Perhaps the most uneatable aspect of the whole product is the $3/bar price tag, which renders this barely tolerable item essentially indigestible. I would feel horrible feeding these to inmates living in our prison system, and I am a very strong advocate for capital punishment, which should illustrate my final feelings on the product.

I recently had the opportunity to try out a 12 pack of protein bars, and I have to say, I was impressed! As someone who is always on the go, I appreciate having a healthy snack option that I can grab and take with me wherever I need to go, and these protein bars fit the bill perfectly. First of all, let's talk about the taste. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious these protein bars were. I've tried a lot of different protein bars over the years, and many of them tend to be overly sweet or have a strange aftertaste. But these bars had a really nice balance of flavors - they were sweet enough to satisfy my cravings, but not so sweet that they felt like a guilty indulgence. I particularly enjoyed the sea salt and peanut butter flavors, but all of them were really tasty. But of course, taste isn't the only thing that matters when it comes to protein bars. The whole point of these bars is to provide a convenient, portable source of protein that can help keep you feeling full and energized throughout the day. And on that front, these bars definitely delivered. Each bar contains around 20 grams of protein, which is a substantial amount - especially for something that's so easy to eat on the go. I found that when I had one of these bars as a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack, it really helped me power through the rest of my day without feeling sluggish or hungry. Another thing I appreciated about these bars is that they're made with high-quality ingredients. There are no artificial sweeteners or flavors, and the bars are gluten-free and non-GMO. As someone who tries to eat as healthily as possible, I really appreciate when companies go the extra mile to make sure their products are made with wholesome, nutritious ingredients. Overall, I would definitely recommend this 12 pack of protein bars to anyone who is looking for a healthy, convenient snack option. They're tasty, filling, and made with high-quality ingredients - what more could you ask for in a protein bar?

These are protein bars, not candy bars. So judge them accordingly. I have purchased individual No Cow bars while I was out and about prior to purchasing the variety pack here on Amazon. These bars hit all the right nutritional things that I want in a protein bar. The most important things I look for are that the bars are vegan, gluten free and contain no soy. For me, that's not negotiable. Then any bars I buy should have low sugar, a good amount of protein and they should also taste good. The No Cow variety package gave me the opportunity to try several of their flavors. My hands down favorite is the Chocolate Fudge flavor. You can't go wrong with that one! In my opinion, the others in the variety package were only okay tasting. There are times at night when I don't want chocolate because the caffeine interferes with my sleep so it is good that the Birthday Cake doesn't have any chocolate. However, I probably wouldn't be tempted to buy a whole 12 pack of them. I like that the bars are soft, they don't fall apart when you unwrap them, they don't need to be refrigerated and they don't melt into the wrapper like some other bars do. I will continue to buy No Cow bars. I will probably buy either the Chocolate Fudge or the Variety Pack when I buy another 12-pack from Amazon.

As someone who consistently has bought these for years... I admit these are awful tasting. All flavors are pretty terrible but some are less so than others. (Dipped peanut butter and the Dipped chocolate Donut flavors are the only flavors I would "recommend") I only eat these because they are friendly for my allergies, are low carb, no sugar, 20g of protein, 18g+ of fiber AND filling. And that's a really tough ask for all of that so I can't blame the taste for being so bad. They are very dry and have that chalky texture, and a "fake" sugar alcohol taste. And an awful aftertaste that I cannot explain. I have eaten SOOO many brands of protein bars throughout the years but this is the only one that checks so many boxes for me, that I put up with the taste.

Great high-protein snack - perfect when playing sports.
