Very delicious and gluten free.

The experience with the product is somewhat hindered by its chalky taste, resulting in a mixed review. While there may be positive aspects to the product, the chalky flavor is a notable downside that affects overall enjoyment.Taste is a significant factor in the appeal of any product, and when it falls short in this regard, it can impact the overall experience. While other aspects might have redeeming qualities, the chalky taste takes away from what could have been a more positive review.It's understandable that taste preferences can vary greatly from person to person, and in this case, the chalky taste seems to be a significant drawback. It's worth considering whether the other positive aspects of the product outweigh the taste issue when making a decision about its use.

This is a typical protein bar. 200 calories with the standard dense and chewy protein with a gritty texture on your teeth and a slightly bitter aftertaste. That type of protein bar has been pretty much boilerplate for years now. The only difference is the combination of nuts or gross chocolate it is covered in.While the protein component of this bar is old hat, the fact it is covered in cake frosting flavored coating makes it taste better than most. So I do prefer this over most bars that try rather unconvincingly to be like a candy bar. I think the addition of a sparse splatter of sprinkles is pointless though. I guess they want to really sell the birthday cake angle, but there are not enough sprinkles to matter and sprinkles are made with dyes that are extremely questionable healthwise so it would be better without them. But aside from flavor, the other selling point is it has a very reasonable fat to protein ratio. This fits my nutritional needs better than most. Seems like all protein products these days try to hide the fat content of their products. Since fat is not an issue or even preferred for keto, I find that most protein bars lately have been jacking up the fat content to improve flavor and texture then just slapping a keto-friendly stamp on the packaging and then only advertise the high grams of protein and low grams of sugar and then avoid mentioning fat anywhere on the box except the nutritional facts chart. Most products advertised as keto-friendly have way more fat than my diet can handle. The fat to protein ratio in this product is 5/20 which is pretty good in comparison to similar products available.I also ordered the chocolate mint cookie and lemon cake flavors as a subscription which is have not tried yet but expect to be good based on the way the birthday cake tasted. I would have preferred to subscribe to the birthday cake flavor but some flavors were not available for subscription and save, birthday cake being one of them. Another bummer is there is a big price difference depending on flavor. Birthday cake and some of the chocolate flavors were $4 more than the average price and the cookies and cream were $27 per box so nearly double the cost, and also not available by subscription. I guess it is all coming from different suppliers or whatever so it is what it is. If it were to become available for subscription I'd likely get it. They aren't revolutionary but they are certainly more pleasant to eat than the average. But protein bars have been around for a while and they pretty much have hit a plateau on flavor and texture, so that in mind, these are the best I've had in a while.

Super tasty, 1 gram of sugar 20 protein

I have tried 6 out of the 9 different flavors: Chewy Chocolate Chip, Deluxe Chocolate, Birthday Cake, Lemon Cake, Chocolate Mint Cookie, and Cookies and Cream. And this is how I rate them, in my opinion.The best tasting ones are Chewy Chocolate Chip and Deluxe Chocolate. They actually taste really good.The ones that are okay are Birthday Cake, Lemon Cake, and Chocolate Mint Cookie. They each had a weird grittiness to them and the flavors just didn't taste correct.The worst one though was Cookies and Cream. This one just tasted like garbage. It didn't have the Cookies and Cream flavor at all.I eat one of these at night as a snack. To curb late night hunger.

I was pleasantly surprised when I took my first bite of this birthday cake bar. I did not expect the icing on the top to be as thick as it was in the picture, but it was! This was a really nice sweet treat, with 20 grams of protein! I just started trying the pure protein bars because the price is so much less than other brands. So far I have liked every flavor, this one was so good for my sweet tooth, no guilt! I hate how some protein bars have a picture on the box or wrapper that is not a real depiction of the actual bar! Some don’t even show a picture of the real bar, like cookies and cream, they’ll only have a picture of Oreos on the box or wrapper! Pure protein uses the real product for the pictures, which I love!!!

Not only did I not like the taste. I of these protein bars but they made me I’ll to my stomach & I had to go to the Urgent care. They gave me some medicine & said discontinue eating them. Even if I wanted to it made me a little nauseous every time I looked at the box in my garage. I was going to pass them along to someone who also eats protein bars, but I threw them away instead. It just seems sad, I paid for them, then Urgent Care, my windowto return already closed, so there is NO CONSUMER SATISFACTION! I will NEVER buy your products again. I have purchased ONE protein bars (birthday cake flavor) many timeson Amazon, but for some reason they weren’t available, so I purchased these. Sadly, NEVER AGAIN!!!

These are hands-down the best flavor of Pure Protein bars. Actually, this is the only one I'll buy ever since they discontinued their very best flavor: Salted Caramel. The one with the gooey caramel filling on the inside. Why on Earth would they discontinue that perfection while keeping all their other mediocre flavors? Anyway, these are great, and the price is good, but for some ungodly reason they will not ship these to my APO! :(
