These Pure Protein bars are great! Cheap and yummy. They're more dense than other bars such as Quest bars. So even though they're smaller in size they're actually quite hearty because of being so dense and I'm definitely satisfied after eating one no matter what flavour.
The chocolate peanut caramel one is a tad softer & less dense than the others because of the softer peanut flavoured center. The chocolate peanut caramel flavour is one of my husband's favorite and reminds us of a snickers or mars bar. Its similar to the Atkins endulge caramel nut bars which are also on Amazon. It reminds me almost of Purdys pb chocolate bars but less sweet.
We absolutely love the strawberry greek yogurt flavour of these bars as well and it's a nice change from chocolate flavoured bars. It's a nice balance of sweet and strawberry flavoured with a few little strawberry flavoured crunchy bits throughout. And it's not too sweet. It's very good! After trying one we immediately purchased another box lol.
I saw someone say the chocolate coconut flavour reminded them of a bounty bar. It doesn't remind me of a bounty bar but rather it's very akin to a dense dark chocolate brownie flavour but with coconut on top and coconut flavour added. It has a touch of a bitter note to it but it's good as well. It would be great if you love dark chocolate and/or brownies and like coconut flavour. If you're looking for something like a bounty bar, I highly recommend trying the Atkins endulge chocolate coconut bars. Those are definitely just like a bounty bar filled with coconut center like bountys. My husband and I also love those and most of the other Atkins bars as well.
The chocolate salted caramel flavour of these Pure Protein bars are good too but a tad strong in the caramel flavour. Which I didn't think would be possible as I love caramel. But I like this flavour of these bars as well. They'd be especially delicious in the fall & winter. If you love caramel flavour you'll like these. They'd be a lovely Halloween treat due to the caramel or during the holidays. They remind me a bit of how an old fashioned icecream shop smells when you walk in and smell the caramel and hazelnut notes.
The red velvet flavour is one of my least cared for flavours which is shocking because we love red velvet flavour. It's very mediocre and tastes like a too mild basic chocolate center with a meh outer white coating. Neither the center nor the outer coating are very flavourful whatsoever. They're very bland and could definitely do with a revamping of the recipe. It's as if they didn't try at all with the red velvet flavour and just threw something together quickly. It's kind of like a cheap bland brownie with some unsweetened white chocolate or something as the outer coating. Very bland. The only plus I can see to this flavour would be if you're sick with a stomach bug or morning sickness or something where you need something more bland flavoured. This is the most bland flavoured out of all the flavours I've tried. Ironically, the red velvet flavour has the highest grams of sugar alcohols out of all the flavours I've tried.
They all have a small touch of a bitter note due to the protein and sugar alcohols but are definitely still delicious and aren't sickly sweet. My husband and I really limit sugar in our diets and these are fun for us as they're much like a candy bar. All of these bars do feel like an indulgence and a treat rather than like a protein bar. They're fantastic. I really enjoy their density as it's a nice change from softer more aerated type bars and it's satiating and satisfying. Similar to how the Cliff builders bars are dense but these have way less sugar and are smaller more like the size of a regular snickers or mars bar etc. I thought the smaller size would be a bad thing but their density makes up for that.
I highly recommend trying these bars as they're affordable and packed with protein and are different than other protein bars on the market due to their density and seeming more like candy bars. It's hard to limit myself to just one a day as I feel like sneaking a second before bed as a treat lol. Whereas with other bars such as Quest bars I definitely know I'm eating a protein bar and don't find myself wanting another. These really are more like sugar free candy bars.
The next flavours we'll try are the regular chocolate peanut butter, the chocolate chip and the chocolate deluxe though there was some negative reviews on the chocolate deluxe flavour on here.
I'll update this review once I've tried the other 3 flavours!

I really like these protein bars. I've never had a bad flavour yet. My favourites are probably the lemon (which reminds me a bit of a lemon cheesecake square) and chocolate peanut butter which tastes just like a Wunderbar. My least favourite is probably strawberry. It's not bad, reminding me of a strawberry yogourt Quaker granola bar, it's just not as rich a strawberry flavour as I was hoping for (think like a strawberry Quality Street chocolate- that's what I was hoping for).
I struggle to get enough protein, so I like having these on hand to give myself a boost. They are low sugar and fairly reasonable calorie-wise, making it easy for me to get the nutrition I need and to fit within my calorie and sugar goals for the day. They have a minimal aftertaste and remind me more of eating chocolate bars or dessert squares than of protein bars. They are a bit on the dense side, so for anyone with a sensitive stomach, eating them slowly and perhaps in two portions might work better. They also taste particularly good chilled, so I put them in the fridge about 30 minutes before I wish to eat them, and I find this enhances the taste.
While I wouldn't call them cheap, these are fairly good value, being among the most affordable protein bars on the market. Keep an eye out for sales that enhance this value even more.
All in all, I fully recommend this for anyone looking to increase their protein intake or to have a healthier snack.

Love Pure Protein bars and they're a decent price. The caramel PB is the best, Churro is chalky.

Pure Protein bars that I've had have mostly been good. Affordable, filling, with a reasonable number of calories, a good amount of protein, and a good taste.
Steer clear of the Galactic Brownie flavour though. They have a nasty aftertaste.

I was expecting this flavour to maybe have a potentially grainy-ish texture on the white part, so I was very afraid I wouldn’t enjoy them even though they looked SO good. tastes it, it’s SO much better than I expected. It shocked me with the accuracy of flavour, especially for a protein bar, if you’re active in any way on the regular this flavour would definitely hit a spot while also giving reasonable nutrition. overall, very nice :3

Decided to try an alternative to my go to treat, low sugar bar which has been Atkin's. This brand has more flavour varieties, lots more bar for the money (Atkins are now too expensive but the peanut butter variety still much tastier). These are not as sweet as Atkins, the calories are fewer, the bar is more chewy as well as more filling. This latter is definitely a good thing as I only need one instead of scarfing down more.
EDIT: taste leaves something to be desired. Experiment ended.

I recently tried this protein bar, and I was really impressed! The texture was spot on—soft yet firm, with just the right amount of chewiness. The flavour was delicious, not too sweet, and had a nice balance that made it enjoyable without being overpowering. On top of that, the macros were great, providing a solid amount of protein without too much sugar. It's definitely a solid choice for a quick, tasty, and nutritious snack!

Very happy with these. They have a great amount of protein, weren't on the list of protein bars containing heavy metals, and they taste good. At the rate the world is going, what's not to love? I am finding that these help with sugar cravings after dinner, when even fruit isn't getting rid of it. Helping me lose weight. Not expensive compared to other brands. And great for mornings when I'm in a rush or don't feel hungry but know I need to eat something.

These are soft and delicious. They smell amazing too. I hope enough people buy these to keep them on the market because they are worth it. Especially for a protein bar, but this is better than most candy bars.
On a sode note, the churro one from these guys is chewy, powdery and tastes fine but it is a rough experience. These lemon bars are a delight.

The caramel churro tastes pretty awesome. The cookies and cream don't taste as good. They can definitely be better. They didn't cause any digestive issues to me. Good price for what you get. I eat one everyday with breakfast.

10/10 would recommend. A little sweet but not unbearable. It taste exactly like a Starbucks lemon loaf so when I'm craving a lemon loaf I just eat one of these because it has less calories, less sugar, and more protein!

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve ordered the Pure Protein Cookies & Cream bar—probably around 15 times by now! That’s how much I love it. It actually tastes like a cookies & cream treat, not like some chalky protein bar. The texture is just right—not too hard, not too soft—and it doesn’t have that weird artificial aftertaste.
With 20g of protein, it keeps me full and is perfect for a quick snack or post-workout boost. Plus, it’s low in sugar, which is a huge plus. If you’re looking for a protein bar that actually tastes good, this is it!

I love the Pure Protein chocolate-flavoured bars but not this one. The ones I got might have been stale because my jaw hurt from chewing them. More importantly, they tasted artificial. They weren't like proper food but rather like some sort of chemical bar. I gave it three stars because it was edible and filling, so, in a pinch, it did what it was supposed to do – it provided protein in an on-the-go snack form.
