IQBARBrain and Body Plant Protein Bars - 7 Bar Sampler Pack - Gluten Free, High Fiber, Vegan Snacks - Low Sugar Meal Replacement

I picked up the IQBAR 7-Bar Sampler Pack to try a variety of flavors before committing to a full box—and I’m so glad I did. These bars are not only delicious but packed with clean, plant-based ingredients that actually make me feel good after eating them. As someone who follows a mostly low-carb, gluten-free diet, it’s tough to find snacks that tick all the boxes: low sugar, high fiber, good protein, and no junk. These bars do it all. I love that they include brain-friendly ingredients like Lion’s Mane and MCTs it makes me feel like I’m fueling both my body and mind. So far, the Chocolate Sea Salt and Lemon Blueberry are my top two, but every flavor in the sampler had something unique to offer. The texture is dense but not chalky, and I find them really satisfying between meals or after a workout. They’ve even helped me cut down on sugary snacks because I know I’ve got something tasty and healthier to reach for. If you’re looking for a clean, on-the-go snack that actually supports your brain and energy levels, these are absolutely worth trying. I’ll definitely be ordering the full-size packs next!

This is a solid vegan protein bar! The main ingredient is almonds and pea protein, so you do get a little bit of a gritty texture and some pea protein aftertaste. If you're not used to it, it'll throw you off a bit.For no added sugar and extra fiber and benefits, I would eat these again. The Banana Nut is by far the best flavor and tastes like actual banana nut bread.

I found these bars to be quite valuable for the price I paid. They did have a slightly dry texture, but I appreciated the satisfying crunch they offered. The ingredient list seemed healthy and clean, which is a plus. Overall, I would rate the texture around 6/10, which is decent for a keto bar. They are low in carbs and have a good shelf life. While I would recommend them, it's important to note that they may not contribute significantly to weight loss.

These bars are great. Ingredients are simple and clean. Macros are great with enough protein to justify it as a supplement for strength training or just a filling snack that isn't going to trash your diet. Just 1g of sugar is amazing too - I hate protein bars that are really candy bars in disguise. Taste is delicious (I love peanut butter), and texture is soft without any stickiness or toughness (some protein bars have made me lose crowns off my teeth, so this is important!). They survived the hot Texas heat just fine and arrived at my house in perfect shape. Best of all, they are very affordable compared to other bars on the market. Oh and my two year old son loves them too and I don't feel bad about letting him have some. 10/10 would buy again!

**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.

I love these protein bars! The flavors are amazing, and the texture is perfectly solid without being crumbly. They’re low in sugar and carbs, packed with plant-based protein, which keeps me full for hours. This is perfect as a snack or even a light meal replacement. I feel good knowing they’re made with quality ingredients, and I’ll definitely be buying them again!

These plant protein bars exceeded my expectations. Not only do they taste delicious, but they are also full of ingredients that really benefit the body and the brain. I love that they are low in carbohydrates, high in fiber and with very little sugar, ideal for keeping me in ketosis.Also, they are completely vegan, gluten-free and easy to take anywhere, whether as a snack between meals or after workout. I feel more energy and mental clarity since I consume them!The texture is smooth but satisfying, and each bar feels like a nutritious boost without regrets. I'll definitely buy them again!
