“My biggest reccomendation. They taste great, keep you full a lot longer than anything else, make you feel like you're eating something we shouldn't because of how good it is, and it's packed with protein!!!”

“This bar was a pleasant surprise! Tasted good, not too sweet, very little "chemical" taste. 10 grams of fiber and almost 20 grams of protein in one bar--great! I hope I'll tolerate it well as a postop.”

“I have completely fallen in love with this product! It is sometimes hard to find at Wal-Mart, but I called the manager and they now call me when they have it in stock!. It reminds me of a thick Reeses cup. It is very handy to grab a bar and go. I can only eat a half a bar at a time and it fills me up!
I have tasted a couple of different bars, but IMHO this is the best tasting bar.”
