IQBAR Brain and Body Plant Protein Bars - Chocolate Sea Salt - 12-Count Low Carb - Gluten Free, High Fiber, Vegan Snacks - Low Sugar Meal Replacement

These are so yummy! They have a cookie dough type of texture with a wonderful fruity taste. They are easy to carry to work or the gym, light on calories and carbs and do not sit like a lump of clay in the stomach after consuming.I love They have lions mane and MCT oil in them. Few days after I started having a bar each day, I had so much extra stamina, not really energy, but steady energy. I prefer that anytime instead of energy rush and then crash.The only downside, if you can call it that, they don't do well left in sun or hot car. They get "melty".

This protein bar is one of our favorites. A top five go-bar for us. It is not a candy bar. It is more of a true energy bar or meal replacement. Very low sugar - which is very important to us as we try very hard to manage sugar intake. But despite being super-low sugar,the bars have good taste and texture. Low-sugar, good taste and texture and very high protein. That is what we look for and that is what IQBAR delivers. We pack a couple in a backpack to use as an energy snack at work, on a hike, on the golf course. Five stars.

Good ingredients, specially because it does not have sugar alcohol like most of the protein bars out there.However, the taste of peanut butter chip is pretty blend.

Living (MTHFR Genetic ) a medical condition that restricts my intake of sugar and folic acid has made finding suitable snacks a daunting task. Enter IQBARs—a game-changer in my daily routine.These bars are not only delicious but also align perfectly with my dietary requirements. With only 1–2 grams of sugar per bar and no added sugars, they are ideal for those managing blood sugar levels. Additionally, their clean-label ingredients and absence of folic acid make them a safe choice for my conditionEach bar provides 12 grams of plant-based protein and 6–9 grams of fiber, keeping me satisfied and energized throughout the day. The inclusion of brain-boosting nutrients like Lion’s Mane, Vitamin E, and MCTs is an added bonus, supporting both my physical and cognitive health .While they might be priced slightly higher than other snacks, the quality and peace of mind they offer are worth every penny. For anyone with similar dietary restrictions, IQBARs are a delicious and reliable option.

Hands down, my favorite meal bars ever.I am a bar enthusiast and have tried every one under the sun, and IQ Bars are the absolute best.Great protein and fiber content. Amazing taste with zero sugar or sugar alcohol. Really natural ingredients without sacrificing taste or low sugar. Smaller and low calorie but still leaves you feeling full and satisfied.It really lives up to their branding of being the smart bar because if you are someone really in the known of food and health, you know these really are heavy hitters. Especially if you have dietary restrictions, these are really amazing and tasty.I recommend the chocolate mint flavor because it tastes incredibly close to the chocolate mint Clif bar that I love but can't have due to the sugar and calorie content.I personally will probably never buy a different bar again. Amazing work, IQ Bar.

**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.

These bars, especially the peanut butter chip ones, are my favorite bars. Great macros, great taste, clean label, perfect size. They're my go-to meal to get my protein in. I always carry a few with me. There are so many bars on the market, yet so few ones that have both great macros, no dairy, and no garbage. I'm so appreciative of entrepreneurs who take a rist to bring something to market that didn't exist before, that fills a gap, at great effort and risk to themselves, so the rest of us can buy such an awesome product that so much work clearly went into at such a great price. It's why free enterprise is such an awesome. Highly recommended. Thanks for coming to my TED talk!
