PROBAR - MEAL Bar, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Healthy, Plant-Based, Whole-Food Ingredients, Natural Energy (12 Count)

These are pretty good! Densely packed, nutrient rich MEALS. Not flimsy little snack or protein bars. But actual meals. Further down in review I include the ingredients for EACH PRO MEAL BAR Purchased 07/2022 (and another box nearly right away that I am waiting on because I loved it with first bite), with expiry date of 01/2023. I ordered from the warehouse, and so it was expected that these may have a shorter time frame over others ordered direct. Curious what the ones I am waiting on to arrive will say. I will update this if it is totally different. I chuckle at the one review where it cautions that these are "double size and calories of other bars". Well, YAY! that sounds good to me! I am spending good money for CALORIES. And they are calories from good ingredients. "This PROBAR provides fruits, nuts and seeds to make it delicious, satisfying and nutritious. It's rich in raw ingredients and the right nutrient-dense calories for lasting energy and nourishment." Natural tasting, not too sweet, can taste various ingredients, not like a candy bar, not just a protein bar, has fats, protein, fiber, carbohydrates, and a good hearty, dense, chew. Easy to chew, though that will depend on your teeth. I like the flavor- it isnt scrumptious, but it tastes like something I would construct at home, but better. LOOK at all these wonderful ingredients. If you need a candy bar taste, then skip these. I use them on the go, a bite here and there. Tastes doesnt linger, not sticky or annoying. Not dry. Just perfect level moist. I can bend off a piece and pop into my mouth. Wraps back up nicely. The nutritional information is on each packet. They provide info for eating whole or half a bar. I work a physical job where it is hard to sit down and eat, but I get hungry, and so I rely on snack bars and such to power me through. What I like about this is that it has a variety of nutrients. It isnt just a basic snack bar, or an overpriced, over caloried protein bar. I feel like I am actually eating something good for me. Pairs nice with some cut up fruit, yogurt (chop part of the bar up to sprinkle on top). Sometimes I add in a soft beef jerky/stick. Looks like this brand has a bunch of interesting products such as crisps, chews, energy bars, protein bars, and these meal bars. Has piqued my interest! Also good as an emergency food (keep in car, or even for in house), camping, traveling, hiking, etc I originally found these while looking for a food item to put in with my "bug out bag" and car emergency bag. I have a couple of rodent proof containers that I store some easy to eat food items in. I rotate out and replace as needed. Not limited to emergency but also for times when I just cant get somewhere for food. I pack packets of peanut butter, packets of jam, and then add in snack bars and/or dried fruit. Going for a GORP-esque arrangment (good old raisins and peanut butter). I look for something with good mouth feel, taste, and offers nutrition. I stumbled upon these and thought they looked like what I was going for. Now that I have tried them (love that they offer a variety pack), I will buy more of the ones I love, and will be using them for my everyday life, not just for prepping my car, hiking bag, bug out bag. This variety pack has ONE EACH of their variety pack. Try them all, buy more of what you like best or buy another variety pack if you like them all. Really great way to be introduced to the MEAL offerings. Would love to see a sample or variety pack of all their stuff. Anyway, I just dont see anything wrong with these. Comes down to preference, and then individual experience as it pertains to freshness, shipping etc. I dont know why they dont include the nutrition info on the product page. They do for individual listings, but not for the variety. They do the same thing on their website. But it is very easy to navigate and find the info you may want. I include the ingredient list. If you want more detailed nutritional profile, look for the individual product (or go to their website). Basically they have 380 or so calories per bar. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, now onto INGREDIENT LIST FOR EACH BAR!!!!!

A solid choice for busy days.

Great taste and surprisingly filling. A winner for me.

The PROBAR Meal Bar 12 Flavor Variety Pack delivers on its promise of a convenient, nutritionally dense meal replacement, perfectly fitting the criteria for an on-the-go, plant-based, and gluten-free snack. While the bars are effective in their primary function—providing substantial energy and satisfying hunger—the overall flavor experience, as you noted, is not spectacular, placing them squarely in the "get the job done" category. 👍 The Good: Functional & Nutritional Powerhouse ⚡ Excellent Fuel: These bars excel as a source of natural energy. They are truly meal bars, designed to be filling and provide sustained fuel, making them a reliable choice for pre- or post-workout, or when a full meal isn't an option. 🌱 High-Quality Ingredients: The commitment to Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, and Plant-Based ingredients is a major plus for those with dietary restrictions or preferences. The inclusion of whole, recognizable foods like nuts, seeds, and dried fruits is clear. 💪 Great Convenience: The variety pack offers an easy way to try multiple flavors and is incredibly convenient for a busy lifestyle, ensuring you have a healthy meal alternative readily available. 🤔 The Trade-Off: Flavor and Texture ➡️ Functional Flavor Profile: The flavor, while acceptable, is not the main draw. If you're looking for a dessert-like indulgence, you may be disappointed. The bars taste wholesome and natural, which often translates to a more muted or less intense sweetness compared to traditional snack bars. ➡️ Texture: The texture is generally dense, thanks to the high content of whole nuts and seeds. This is necessary for satiety but may not appeal to those who prefer a lighter, chewier, or crispier bar. The Verdict The PROBAR Meal Bar Variety Pack is what it should be—a reliable, nutritious, and functional meal replacement bar built on high-quality, plant-based ingredients. They are best suited for the user who prioritizes: Satiety and Sustained Energy Clean, Plant-Based, and Gluten-Free nutrition Convenience If your primary focus is on a rich, 'blown away' flavor experience, you may find these bars merely satisfactory. However, for a powerful and trustworthy fuel source, they are an excellent option.

A+++++ loved them

The bars are much bigger than expected. Me and my kids love the flavors. Me and my daughter usually can't eat a whole one. I do keep them on hand cause they are good

These are big bars with substantial calories, but it is so hard to find a bar with some vegetables in it. I cut the bar in half and carry In lunch, etc. They just taste like real food. Tested well with Consumer Labs. Not sure why company makes some of their bars smaller than these. Better value, just to cut them in half :) Box I ordered in Oct expires 4/26.

This product routinely arrives damaged due to poor shipping packaging. This is a food product. It was shipped in a shipping envelope. The manufacturer packages the protein bars in a light weight box that more often than not arrives crushed. Sometimes the bars are not damaged Sometimes they are crushed and I have to request a replacement or refund. Otherwise this is a good product. Most of the times it tastes fresh/great. On occasion the bars are somewhat dry.

These are the best meal-replacement bars that I could find on the market. All whole and organic ingredients and the perfect mix of carbs, healthy fats and protein to keep you feeling full and energized in a busy day. I keep a few of these in my car and baby bag at all times and they have save many a "hangry" moments and make me a happier person in general. I love the flavor and texture and love that nothing in them "melts" in my car. I've recommended these to many people. Thank-you Probar! PS. Does anyone know how to get the mixed berry in bite size cases off Amazon.ca for a reasonable price? I see them listed but it looks like only a small box for $100+

I am by no means a health nut. I workout and try to eat healthy. I eat these either after my morning work out for breakfast or when I need something on the run. I always have a couple in my bag in case of emergency. They leave me feeling full and satisfied for a few hours after eating. will be buying again

Excellent product, keeps you full for a number of hours. good if you want to go on diet.

Kids will actually eat these

A good product at a good price.
