FAST BRANDS White Chocolate Cookies & Cream, 20 Gram Protein Bars (Pack of 12)

I gained 40lbs since the pandemic began and I’ve been trying to recomp (lose weight & gain muscle) for the past year, so I’ve been trying to find a bar that can satisfy my sweet tooth without going overboard on calories and ruining my macros. I’ve tried just about every protein bar out there in store and online from ONE to Kirkland to Quest to Robert Irvine’s to Alani Nu to MetRX to Barbells to Luna to Lara to Kind to goMacros to NoCOW to Gatorade bars and everything in between. This bar is IT! The most comparable bar in texture and taste to this would be the Barbell’s Bar brand. I really enjoyed these bars even a bit more than the Barbells ! Mine were delivered to my house in Southern CA during the heatwave so they were pretty melted, but I was expecting that (it’s been 100+ degrees here for the past few weeks). I got the variety pack and I love both flavors! I tried the chocolate salted peanut flavor right out of the wrapper and put the remainder straight into the fridge! I’ve since tried both flavors and I like the cookies and cream the best! Surprisingly I like the Salted Chocolate Peanut better melted than from the fridge! However, it tastes good both ways, but melted really allows you to taste the chocolatey flavor better! The cookies and cream tastes amazing cold from the fridge. It tastes like a literal Hershey’s cookies and cream bar I had to double check the sugar content it’s THAT good ! Overall, I love the flavor profiles and I am shocked at how good these bars are! I’m so happy I took a chance on a new brand as these are actually my dream protein bars! Soft and chewy, but not too chewy. Sweet, but not too sweet. And the price is really good compared to many competition brands! 10/10 for both flavors I’ve already re-ordered!

If you like chewy texture, go for Fast. They're pretty good, although not quite as good as Barebells.I had a bad experience with my batch in a way bars cracked and some of the filling leaked out into the packaging, but not a deal breaker.

A European friend of mine recommended these bars, as I guess they are popular in Sweden. It looks like they just began selling in the US, so I figured I'd give them a shot.For perspective, there are 20+ different protein bars I've tried over the years just from searching my ordering history on Amazon. Some high sugar and carbs ones taste pretty good, but I usually try to stick to low sugar options. Thus, I've tried all the big ones (Quest, One, FitCrunch, Pure Protein, etc). They all pale in comparison to these Fast bars.They have a crisp outer texture and a soft interior, much like a candy bar. The taste is phenomenal. Cannot recommend these bars enough for someone looking for a higher protein, lower sugar option that doesn't feel and taste like a concrete brick!

I was willing to try something new as the price seemed reasonable. When I first bit into the chocolate caramel bar the texture was spot-on. However as the flavor then hit my mouth I was extremely disappointed. These Bars tasted nothing like peanuts caramel or chocolate. I don't even know what the taste was. I've ate plenty of protein bars and eat mostly keto and I can't even identify what this taste was so it's not that I'm not familiar with protein bars and sugar alcohols. I will be returning these!

Update- still upset of expiration date, but taste and look is okay. I keep mine in fridge so it's a bit harder than normal. Uploaded some picks of the bar and inside. I will raise it 2 star for taste cause it's not bad for a health bar and looks tasty. Just not sure if old product or these bars only last 3-4 months.Well I will update when I try and maybe add a photo of the bar.Very upset that these bars expire 3 months and I just got them. I hope they tast good, but that's kind of ridiculous. So be careful and be ready to eat the bars fast once recieved them.

As far as macros and prices go, I still prefer the Kirkland protein bars (slightly less calories and fat, slightly more protein, almost half the cost)But the taste and texture these have are objectively better. If someone handed me one of these without the packaging, I'd assume it was just a new kind of chocolate bar. My only hope is that they come out with a few new flavors to try out.

I didn’t like these at all. The Cookies and Cream bars were badly melted despite moderate temperatures. The peanut butter bars fared better, but both were dominated by an artificial taste profile that many artificially sweetened bars fall victim to. Despite positive reviews, I don’t think anyone would be fooled into thinking these were candy bars. They were vaguely reminiscent of the Combat Crunch line, but seemed somewhat inferior. Don’t recommend these. I don’t often throw out bars, but I had to do it in this case.

I think these are really good. The nutrition seems good for a protein bar, and I like the texture and flavor. I think I was most impressed by the fact that even after sitting on my porch in the Texas sun for a few hours, they didn't melt! Any bar that can do that gets a 5/5 in my book, since it means I don't have to deal with a goopy mess.
