I heated two of these up and smeared them with peanut butter and a sprinkle of sea salt. The texture is a little odd, but pretty tasty and very filling!

I had a low expectation for this because I saw a lot of people online saying they weren’t good, but I really liked this! It’s not too sweet and the inside was a lot softer and moist than the typical soft Barebells bar. I wish I bought more of these!

It’s basically the creamy crisp bar but in the form of a typical Barebells’ soft bar. I’m personally not a fan of their soft bars as i prefer the crispy texture of their regular bars and I find the chocolate coating very mild.

Overall, I liked it! If you like creamy crisp, I’d give this a try.

peanut butter bar wasn’t the nicest

Not the best picture of what it looked like as it melted when it was being shipped. I was excited for this but it was a huge disappointment. I couldn’t taste the chocolate coating at all (there was still a good amount left despite being melted) and the hazelnut spread inside had an old nut butter taste to it.

Yubi bars - they are pretty tasty, 10g protein and low cal. And best of all not eye-wateringly expensive lol - I got this 12 pack for £12.99

I was so excited about this bar. I bought two at once. I am a Creamsicle lover! I make my own creamsicle ice ice cream all the time! Boy was I disappointed by this. It tasted like a mouthful of chemicals. Like if I got this as a cough syrup almost. I took the first bite, chewed halfway and spit it out. It also has an unbelievably strong flavor, way stronger than all of the other barebells bars, like a mistake. Too bad cause it’s such a pretty looking bar.

Note the bar doesn’t come cut in half. I did that and forgot to take a before.

I had lower expectations for this after trying the hazelnut spread flavour and not liking it, but this one was SO GOOD!!! Tastes almost exactly like Barebells’ chocolate dough flavour which is one of my all time favourites!

From my understanding this is a UK exclusive flavour so it is a lot more expensive internationally ($6.49 CAD…. yikes) so you’re better off just buying the regular Barebells chocolate dough

I've previously recommended this protein shake because it doesn't taste bad but lately my opinion has changed about the product after going through a couple of boxes.

My biggest complaint? The quality control is bad and you'll get CHUNKS near the bottom of the shake. Idek wtf the chunks are but as soon as they hit my throat, I'm out. Straight to the trash.

And also (this may be influenced by the chunks grossing me out) they're starting not to taste so great after you go through a couple of boxes. Unlike the chocolate fairlife which tastes fucking delicious everytime and I've never had chocolate chunks of bullshit at the bottom.

So yeah. Stay away

Cocoa Pebbles Bar: Pure Protein (PP) offers a variety of protein bars including some of my favorites. New for 2025 was the Cocoa Pebbles flavor. Cocoa Pebbles is a chocolate crisp rice cereal that debuted in 1970 and features The Flintstones characters on the box. Growing up, we usually had Cocoa Krispies in the house (back when Coco the monkey was the mascot). I’ve had Cocoa Pebbles, but it has been a long time, so I can’t tell you how accurate the flavor of these new bars is to the cereal. PP delivers a tri-layer bar that has a dark chocolate-colored outer coating on the bottom half, fudge-like middle, and a lighter chocolate colored bar on the top half. The bottom is the simplest and most familiar as it's your basic chocolate protein bar. Compared to PP Chocolate Deluxe bar, this one seems to have a darker, cocoa flavor. I couldn't tease out the flavor of the fudgy middle on its own, but it looks visually appealing. Pieces of Cocoa Pebbles cereal are embedded in the top mousse-like layer that add a refreshing crispness/crunch. I believe the top layer is supposed to be chocolate cereal milk flavor. Texturally, it is not overly hard but still firmer than some other PP bars I've had. Like other PP bars, it has a pleasant amount of chewiness. With PP having better flavors available including the extremely similar Chocolate Deluxe, the Cocoa Pebbles Bar is just okay 😐

In the early 2000s I played football in HS. I frequented GMC for all the different protein powders and bars. Everything had a horrible taste. Back then it wasn’t supposed to taste good I guess. Well these taste like that. I haven’t tried the vanilla crème one yet but this chocolate muscle milk shake is honestly the worst I’ve had in a very long time.

I like these wayyy better then the quest sweet chili, definitely recommend
