Pure Protein Pure Protein Bars, High Protein, Nutritious Snacks To Support Energy, Lemon Cake, 12 Count, 12 Count

I have a hard time getting my daily protein in because I've been a vegetarian my whole life. I've tried several bars and gave up then came upon these and decided to give bars a go one more time. These are very tasty, no after taste, pairs well with tea (or coffee), not artificial flavored per se. They do have a much larger ingredient index than I prefer when eating any food, but are a nice change on occasion and I've thoroughly enjoyed them. I've ordered two times now and always seem fresh and the quality and texture has been good. Shame processed food (99% of bars) has to have so much junky ingredients, but it's unavoidable especially for those that need to keep weight on.

The Pure Protein Lemon Cake protein bars work perfectly for me: they have only 16 carbs, don't affect my blood glucose levels much, they taste like actual confections, and they have plenty of protein. I've spent many hundreds on different protein bars and this is the only one that qualifies. (IMHO none of their other flavors has these same qualities, because the taste usually strikes me as dry and stale.) Highly recommended.

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.

Omg, so tasty unbelievably good. I ate 2 as soon as I opened the package. They were so sweet. I was shocked to see only 2gm sugar. This is the be all...end all protein bar 20gms of protein... Dang! Now watch them double the Damn price

This is the best protein bar I have bought. I love lemon and these bars have a smooth lemon taste. They have a lot of protein and the carbs are not bad. If you get these you won’t be disappointed.

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.

The Pure Protein Lemon Protein Bars are always fresh/soft from amazon; I am very happy with my subscription. When I need an extra protein boost, I enjoy these in the morning with a cup of coffee since they are sweet and dense. The protein:calorie ratio is great with the Pure Protein Lemon Bars

Looooove Pure Protein bars! The nutrient content seems very reasonable for the price you’re paying and these always arrive fresh with plenty of time before the Use By date. I love this brand because they have so many flavors and they actually taste good and aren’t empty calories. I will say this lemon cake variety is probably the most artificial tasting flavor of the ones I’d tried and that’s why I’m giving it a 4 star review. However, it’s still a very, very tasty protein bar. They’re so convenient and I always carry one with me for a post workout snack when I know I’m going to be on the go.

Perfect lemon taste and seller is professional to deliver on time. Thank you

I love its lemon taste, and that the texture is ‘t completely like a pencil eraser. I will purchase again.

Bought it for the unusual lemon flavor, rarely found in a protein bars. Is best when kept cold in the fridge. Tastes just like a lemon dessert, so it's great for cravings. Could be softer to be a 5 out of 5.

I loved it , soft with nice flavour

These bars were dry and tasted off, no surprise given they expired July 2021….
