IQBAR Brain and Body Plant Protein Bars - Fruit Lovers Variety - 12-Count Low Carb - Gluten Free, High Fiber, Vegan Snacks - Low Sugar Meal Replacement

I picked up the IQBAR 7-Bar Sampler Pack to try a variety of flavors before committing to a full box—and I’m so glad I did. These bars are not only delicious but packed with clean, plant-based ingredients that actually make me feel good after eating them. As someone who follows a mostly low-carb, gluten-free diet, it’s tough to find snacks that tick all the boxes: low sugar, high fiber, good protein, and no junk. These bars do it all. I love that they include brain-friendly ingredients like Lion’s Mane and MCTs it makes me feel like I’m fueling both my body and mind. So far, the Chocolate Sea Salt and Lemon Blueberry are my top two, but every flavor in the sampler had something unique to offer. The texture is dense but not chalky, and I find them really satisfying between meals or after a workout. They’ve even helped me cut down on sugary snacks because I know I’ve got something tasty and healthier to reach for. If you’re looking for a clean, on-the-go snack that actually supports your brain and energy levels, these are absolutely worth trying. I’ll definitely be ordering the full-size packs next!

This is a solid vegan protein bar! The main ingredient is almonds and pea protein, so you do get a little bit of a gritty texture and some pea protein aftertaste. If you're not used to it, it'll throw you off a bit.For no added sugar and extra fiber and benefits, I would eat these again. The Banana Nut is by far the best flavor and tastes like actual banana nut bread.

I was looking for a protein bar that was low in sugar. Being someone who cannot consume sugar alcohols, I was very pleased to learn that these bars do not contain any, so they did not cause any stomach issues. Also, the flavor was very good for all varieties in this multi pack. The consistency was slightly soft and mildly chewy and I liked all the flavors. Great healthy snack option for me.

I’m genuinely impressed with these IQBARs. This 7-bar sampler pack was the perfect way to figure out my favorite flavors (so far it’s a tie between Chocolate Sea Salt and Lemon Blueberry!). Each bar has a soft, chewy texture with a little crunch from the pea crisps, and I love that they’re sweet without being overly sugary.I appreciate how clean and functional the ingredients are lots of fiber, low sugar, plant protein, and bonus nutrients like Lion’s Mane and Vitamin E. They keep me full for hours without the bloated or heavy feeling some protein bars give. Plus, no weird aftertaste.Perfect for tossing in my bag for work or grabbing after a workout. As someone who eats mostly gluten-free and plant-based, it’s awesome to have a bar that checks all the boxes. Highly recommend these if you want a tasty, nutritious snack that actually supports your brain and body!

These bars are great. Ingredients are simple and clean. Macros are great with enough protein to justify it as a supplement for strength training or just a filling snack that isn't going to trash your diet. Just 1g of sugar is amazing too - I hate protein bars that are really candy bars in disguise. Taste is delicious (I love peanut butter), and texture is soft without any stickiness or toughness (some protein bars have made me lose crowns off my teeth, so this is important!). They survived the hot Texas heat just fine and arrived at my house in perfect shape. Best of all, they are very affordable compared to other bars on the market. Oh and my two year old son loves them too and I don't feel bad about letting him have some. 10/10 would buy 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.
