SimplyProtein Whey Bar, Chocolate Mint, Pack of 12, Gluten Free

this bar succeeds in providing a good protein/fiber/fat to calorie ratio. in short, high-protein and low calorie. this is hard to find in a soy-free bar and almost impossible in a walnut/almond/cashew free bar. it is primarily crispy/crunchy but has some 'chew'. the fat adds a nice 'mouthfeel' and some staying power. you will not inhale it and go on munching. it is not overly sweet and so a mild coconut flavor prevails. they say it will keep you satisfied for three hours. after a modest oatmeal breakfast, i ate one bar in stages (along with 2 gel chews) over a four hour cycle (40 miles, moderately hilly terrain) and did not bonk - has worked several times.

This is definitely one of the best protein bars I have ever tried. I don't want to get expectations too high, but I think the coconut flavored bars are akin to a coconut flavored rice crispy treat, but more filling. I love the fact that the protein is coming from whey and not soy. I find the bars to be a great, light, post-workout snack. I tend to only eat one if I work out, and I often find myself thinking about the bar while I'm working out. Of course, we all have different tastes, but this protein bar suits me perfectly.

High protein, mild flavor, fairly low in sugar, nice texture. These bars are a nice change of pace from chocolate, and good for a sodium restricted diet, and as an occasional snack for a diabetic.

Someone mixed up the packaging and put these in human snacks category (LOL).Imagine 1/8" pellets of styrofoam covered in a gooey mess. The pellets don't dissolve, even if they are held in the mouth. If chewed, they do break down, but the residue then sticks to the teeth, rather like floury glue with tagboard.Flavor is not bad, but the rest is sooo bad, flavor can't overcome the challenges. This is not the worst product I have ever consumed. The stuff they make you drink before a GI exam still holds that record, but this is the worst I have eaten by choice. My 4 dogs had a hard time considering this a treat and like Mikey, they eat anything!I gave one star because you have to choose a star to rate.

Very interesting concept! This company has made little bits of whey into something resembling puffed rice. These bars are effectively rice krispy treats, with a slightly tougher texture and less sweetness. Very good, but not the most satisfying bars I've ever had (i.e. they don't keep me full for a very long time.) That said, the protein to calorie ratio is excellent, so no complaints.I've tried both the Chocolate Mint and Coconut flavors. The prior I find to be good but the mint flavor is slightly too strong and becomes cloying after a while. I am a big fan of the coconut flavor and will definitely repeat.Update: Have now tried the Apple Cinnamon flavor, and it is fantastic. Go for it.

For those of us who are allergic to soy, it can be hard to find a soy free protein bar, let alone one that is crisp as opposed to rubbery. The SimplyProtein Whey bar in Chocolate Mint is light and crunchy with a clean taste. They curb my hunger without inducing any sort of sugar crash. Amazon used to auto-deliver them every month, but for some reason that stopped and they have since become increasingly expensive and hard to find.

Giving this 2 stars as the taste is WAY better than the peanut butter ones. Hard to eat - texture is like eating a thousand hard little balls the size of ice in a slushy.

Looking for whey protein bars without sugar alcohols is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Well, I found the needle! I like these first for the integrity of the ingredients (it's all real food), and second for the low fat (2.5g) and balanced carb and protein (18g & 15g respectively) macros, and all for 150 calories. I can't do lemon, chocolate or mint due to gastritis, and it's difficult to find non-chocolate flavors, but I like the apple cinnamon flavor. Sometimes I mix 2 tbsp. of PB2 with 2 tbps. water to make a peanut glaze and spread it on top of the bar. The whey crisps fall apart rather easily and drop crumbs, so it's a bit fragile, but not too inconvenient to eat on the go. Have kept them in the car without negative consequences, but haven't tried it in hot weather yet. These are expensive because they come from Canada. Hopefully the new trade deal just passed will bring the price lower. I also hope the company makes more flavors of the whey version for those of us who can't eat soy or acidic foods (suggestions: peanut, caramel, berry).

Too sweet

Those coconut bars are pretty good, I really did enjoy them. I've always been a big fan of Whey protein, whether it's powder form or in food products.I was so happy to see a protein bar with high protein and without a large amount of carbohydrates. Actually, this is the closest I've seen carbs to protein on a nutrition bar before.The coconut taste is very strong and evident. You will find little pieces of coconut in your mouth lingering around after eating this! The bar is made up of tiny little glazed circles stuck together...Sort of reminds me of a cereal bar. It's crunchy but also has a bit of chewiness in it due to the glaze on it.Very delicious! Also, seller is pretty good, I really enjoy buying products from them.These bars maybe on the pricey side but I appreciate the quality of the product enough to buy them anyway.

These are my absolute favourite protein bars now! While they are not as high in protein as I would like, the ingredients are quite clean, the flavours are amazing, and they are extremely satisfying. Myself and my children were thoroughly enjoying the Apple Cinnamon flavour and then we got the Chocolate Mint and “wowza!”, we cant get enough of them! Also, it’s because they are lower in protein than other bars that I feel comfortable giving them to my kids on occasion.

Rìce Crispy Square With protein

Had these bars before. They taste like stale rice cakes. That's okay because you don't want them to taste too good or you would eat them all. Lots of protein.
