IQBAR Brain and Body Clean Plant Protein Bars - Chocolate Lovers Variety - 12 Bars - Keto, Vegan, High Fiber, Gluten and Dairy Free, Low Sugar Snack with Nutrients for Focus, Energy, Meal Replacement

**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 are great. They do not taste chalk and are easy to digest. Perfect if you are lactose intolerant. Sampler is a great option if you do not want to keep eating the same flavor over and over again. I've purchased multiple times and will continue to do so. Also the best part is that it does not materially raise blood sugar so also a great option if you are diabetic.

These plant protein bars are surprisingly good. The chocolate flavors taste natural, not overly sweet, and the texture is satisfying compared to many other protein bars. They’re filling and work well as a quick snack or light meal replacement. I also like the ingredient profile—feels cleaner and easier on the stomach than many protein bars I’ve tried before. The variety pack is a nice way to try different flavors without getting bored. Overall, very happy with the taste, quality, and nutrition. Would definitely buy again.

12 grams of protein but not a complete protein coming from peas according to the ingredient list, while that is not a huge deal at all its not whey protein, if you are like me though and prioritize your protein intake then we have plenty complete proteins being Ingested, the best reason for this bar is at 2 bucks a bar you get 8 grams of fiber, which you know if you prioritize protein how important fiber is, these are a good source of magnesium also plus they have lions mane mushroom and only 1 gram of sugar, remember these are health conscience bars but for the space that they compete in these bars are pretty tasty, I would have a hard time giving this 4 stars if it was whey protein, I normally eat 2 at a time, if they were whey protein times 2 that would be a great in between meals snack at 24 grams of protein and 16 grams of fiber plus 150mg of magnesium and double lions mane, just my opinion since you asked, thank you

I loved the chewy texture. The flavor of each bar was delicious. The bars have a decent amount of protein that help me go thru the day with out craving to much. The greatest thing is that they are low on sugar thats a plus. They are plant protein that makes it has a better meal replacement.

These IQBAR plant protein bars are a great option when you want a healthy, low‑sugar, low‑carb snack that keeps you full and energized. Each bar provides a good amount of plant‑based protein and fiber, which helps with satiety between meals or after a workout. They’re also vegan, gluten‑free, and keto‑friendly, so they fit a lot of different diets. The flavors are generally enjoyable, although taste preferences vary — some people love them, while others find a few flavors a bit bland or grainy. Overall, they’re convenient, nutritious, and satisfying for daily snacking or meal‑replacement purposes.

I’m pretty picky when it comes to protein bars, especially the taste, so I was pleasantly surprised by IQBars. I bought the sampler pack with 7 different flavors and genuinely enjoyed all of them. My favorite so far is the lemon blueberry, which was unexpectedly delicious. They taste great and don’t have that chalky or artificial aftertaste that a lot of protein bars have. They’re perfect as a quick, satisfying snack, and I really appreciate the clean ingredients. The high fiber content is a huge bonus and helps keep me full longer. Overall, these have become an easy grab-and-go option for busy days, and I’ll definitely be ordering them again.

Tres bon

Good product. Somewhat overpriced.

Delicious and tasty bars with a great nutritional value.

These are really good. Perfect size for a mid afternoon snack. Pre or post workout. Will be buying more.

I was looking for a low carb, low sugar, high protein bar that has more natural ingredients and still tastes good. These bars are super tasty and I like that there isnt a bunch of unpronounceable junk in them. All the flavours I have tried so far are good.
