Nutty and a little bit crumbly but not dry. Wild Blueberry is mild and sweet. Banana Nut weirdly taste both unripened and artificial but strong. Lemon Blueberry has some lemon tartness to it. I love them all. They don't taste like a candy bar, but for the protein function I really like them. Real good option in a pinch. No worries about bioavailability here. I feel the effects and feel satisfied Ingredient list is minimal and easy to read. Wish they'd use organic ingredients and had more protein compared to other bars. Still will be a customer

**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.

Only giving 4 stars due to being a bit pricey. But I find these bars are a great for a light meal, snack or even desert. They taste really good (my opinion), not super sweet and macros are great as well.

Bought these for my daddy and he tried to share with the whole city... to get rid of them, not because they were that delicious. lol Everyone declined to eat them. I finally get in town and daddy finally tells me he doesn't like them at all and offers them all to me. Since I paid for them (as a gift for him) and I'm into healthy foods, I agreed and thanked him. This box has three flavors; lemon blueberry, blueberry, and banana nut. I dislike anything banana flavored except the banana itself. Yet, these banana nut bars are edible. I don't feel like I'm punishing myself when I eat them. I power through the lemon blueberry bars, which I did not at all expect to do. I really did think they'd be delicious. Regrettably, I was very wrong. There's an after taste that's horrible, so these are my least favorite by far. I actually like the blueberry bars though and think they taste good. If I were inclined to buy such bars again, I'd buy all blueberry bars. I've been eating them for a few days and I can say they help get rid of hunger. I've not noticed anything else. But, I'll check back a week or two after I've finished them all, to see if I've noticed a decline anywhere (sometimes you don't notice the progress, but you do notice when you go backwards).

I bought these bars because I’m trying to eat healthier and lose weight. I often get hungry between meals and wanted a healthier snack instead of reaching for chips or sweets. These bars have been a good option because they’re convenient to carry and help keep me satisfied until my next meal. I like that they’re high in protein and fiber while being low in sugar. The fruit flavor is pleasant without being overly sweet, and the texture is enjoyable. Overall, they’ve been a great addition to my diet and a convenient snack when I’m on the go.

I am over 50 and these protein bars are and easy way to get my protein in. The are pretty good tasting considering they are protein bars not granola bars. They do have a protein aftertaste but not bad or chalky like most. 3 flavors. My favorite is lemon. My husband's favorite is banana nut. The berry is good as well. None of these are overly sweet. I will be buying again as protein bars for me are a hit and miss. Sometimes you like them and sometimes you dont. These ones I do. I gave 5 stars for the protein content and taste with the price.

These plant protein bars are a convenient option for busy days, workouts, or an afternoon snack. The fruit variety provides different flavors, so the box does not feel repetitive, and the bars have a pleasant balance of sweetness and texture. They are easy to pack in a purse, gym bag, or lunchbox and help provide a quick protein boost without feeling overly heavy.

As a diabetic, I find these the best as far as low sugar, high protein, and fiber

The banana flavor was my favorite! Smooth flavor without being dry!

The texture is terrible.
