Bonk Breaker Energy Bar, Almond Butter & Honey, 2.2 Oz (12 Count), Gluten Free & Dairy Free

Hands down the best energy bar for someone like me with gluten and dairy intolerances. Not too sweet and easy to digest during hikes and bike rides. And tasty!

Not the best tasting!

Were I to list all the fun "healthy" products that I've gotten as a Vine reviewer, well the review might end up being just a list of the products. I've had the honor to try a lot of great products, some of which I still buy to this day. (And in my opinion, when you try a free product that's good enough that you buy it, well, that's damning praise in my book.)What I look for in an energy bar (will make me buy again): moderate amount of calories (to be a meal replacement, I expect around 200 calories or so), lower carbs, a fair amount of protein. Must have a good texture (not too grainy). Doesn't matter if it's crunchy or chewy, though I typically prefer chewy. Flavor-wise, I am open, fruity or sweet or salty or chocolaty or whatnot. I just want a good taste that makes me enjoy eating it.Today's specialty is the Bonk Breaker Energy Bar in the Almond Butter & Honey flavor. It's a rather tiny brick of almond butter & honey, taking up about half of the packaging. Not sure if that is a packaging/shipping problem or just "how it is". It smells very prominently of almond butter (which I personally love). The texture is on the chewy side with a nice bit of crunch as you hit the almonds. The taste actually is less potent of almond butter and honey than I would have expected (maybe more honey than almond butter?). I wasn't necessarily excited about almond butter & honey, as I find the nut-butter family to be rather rich and "heavy", but I'm pleased at the results - I don't feel "sick" by the end of the bar.Nutritional-wise to what I like in a bar of this type, it's a bit of a mixed bag. The calories are fair (210), a bit high in fat (9g, but this is almond butter after all) and carbs (27g, I prefer personally 20g or less) and low in protein (6g, which seems low for a bar of this type, though I realize this is not marketed as "high protein".). I'm on the fence about 10g of sugar - I think it's a bit high, but honestly, if you take out too much fat and sugar, you're gonna be left with a brick of tasteless protein, and honestly, I want to actually like what I eat.The thing I find pretty amazing is how filling and long lasting one bar is. This tiny brick can last a good 2 - 3 hours, which is about what I expect for a bar of its type. I like to eat little nibbles of the bar at a time, with lots of water or coffee, and it makes the bar go a long way.(May I just say, I find Amazon's current description & price of this confusing? Supposedly, this is a package of 12, but the price is $2.50 + $7.95 shipping - I have NEVER seen a bar of this type sell for $2.50 for a package of 12! For one, yes, but 12?!)Now the big, most important question: would I buy this in the future? Well...that's a hard one! It's not my favorite flavor, but it's not a half bad bar. It makes a great "on the go" type of snack/meal. So my answer is "maybe" - depending on price, what else is available, etc. Which while not damning praise, is still pretty good.

Tastes good.

Great energy for a compact small bar. Make sure you have a bottle of water while eating it. Its very dense. But does what it says it should do. Breaks your bonk..

Not as advertised. Says count of 12 and it was one bar

great tasting, very little sugar. Easily digestible without upsetting your stomach. And did I Mention these things are incredible tasting. They give you enough protein and carbohydrate after a long run or bike ride!!!
