Mezcla Plant Based Protein Bars - Pistachio Chocolate - Healthy Snacks for Adults & Dubai Chocolate Bar Lovers - School, Airplane, Office Snacks - Gluten Free, Vegan, Non GMO, & 10g Protein - 12 Count

This has become my new favorite to keep in the bag. Its nice and crunchy, and gives you a chocolate boost for that midmorning craving. I got the Hazelnut and cacao one. This one doesnt overdo the protein and gives you a nice natural taste. Its got pea protein instead of whey, which is a good change from whey always added in bars these days. The biggest plus is that I know all the ingredients - natural.

Finding a protein bar has become a nightmare for me because I have to avoid gluten, dairy, almonds, sunflower seeds, soy, flex, chia, and too much sugar/carbs. It's very hard to find one that checks all those boxes. While I wish it didn't have any nut butter, seed butter, or chocolate, this one works for me. The taste is good, and it has a nice crunch. It's not a big bar, but it still gives a good amount of protein and calories (which I need). I would recommend it for people like me who are extra sensitive.

Our new favorite protein bars. While we lean towards the variety pack in our subscription, if you want to just get one single flavor the best are probably the vanilla matcha, blueberry maple, and pistachio chocolate. What separates all of the "meh" protein bars from the really good ones (for us anyway) is the Absence of that stiff, gooey consistency that so many are stuck with. Mezcla, Kind, and NuGo are the only ones that maximize protein while minimizing the fat/sugars (especially Mezcla) yet still keep the crunchy tactile appeal via the "crispies" in their bars. I'll concede that the super-high protein bars likely have to be play-doh-like in order to achieve 20g protein in under 200 kcal but it ain't worth it if you're struggling to chew, swallow a bunch of whey sawdust compressed into molasses.

I'm torn on these. I really love the flavor and when they are good; the texture is excellent (more on this below). I hate pasty chewy protein bars. Mezcla offered a promising alternative in the textural department by using pea protein puffs which are great. They are easy to digest (I don't have a problem with legume based FODMAPs) and work as a good mid-morning snack. The bars survive shipping well and are good take to work. Why not 5 stars? I've ordered 3 different flavors four times over and have a reasonable amount of data for comparison. The problem is when these bars are good - they are absolutely exceptional. But there is significant variation between batches. The good batches are light and crunchy with delicious flavor. But not all batches are the same. Some of them have the texture of a pasty powerbar (yuck!) with a crunchy topping. Sometimes the hazelnut flavor is not pronounced and sometimes the pistachio bar is lacking in pistachio flavor. Sometimes you only taste chocolate. I suspect some of these are growing pains for a small company but they need to focus on quality assurance and ensure their suppliers are providing ingredients of consistent quality. I can't give them five stars until they get this right but otherwise the product would deserve five stars. I really want their product to succeed.

I originally ordered the pistachio bars and they didn't taste right. I wrote a review and the company promptly refunded me for the bars! I do really enjoy the peanut butter chocolate bars and will continue to order them, they make for a great snack at work! Thank you for providing excellent customer service!

I’m really impressed with Mezical Bars — they strike that rare balance between healthy and crave-worthy. The texture is soft and chewy without being sticky, and the flavor feels more like a real snack than a “protein bar.” I love that they’re made with clean ingredients and don’t have that chalky or artificial taste that so many bars do. They’re perfect for busy mornings or a quick pick-me-up between clients. I keep a few in my salon bag and they always hit the spot. You can tell the brand paid attention to quality — even the packaging feels elevated. ✅ Truly a bar you’ll want to reach for every day — nourishing, not boring. 🚫 They are on the pricey side so even though you get a case the case is expensive and cost prohibited

I really like these, I like that the nutrition contents are good and there’s protein in here. Also the taste and consistency is actually delicious and doesn’t taste like chemicals! Such a nice variety

This is a great protein/energy bar: yummy flavors, great crunch, and clean ingredients. This particular flavor is too sweet for me so I gave it 4 stars.
