IQBAR Brain and Body Plant Protein Bars - Banana Nut - 12-Count Low Carb - Gluten Free, High Fiber, Vegan Snacks - Low Sugar Meal Replacement

I tried this IQBar when package arrived immediately..it’s actually tasty not like those usual protein bars that feel like chewing rubber 😅. Soft texture, little bit like sweet poli but healthy version. Very less sugar and full protein, fiber and all. Good for evening snack when hungry but don’t want to eat full tiffin. My favorite is banana nut -nice flavour! One small minus - size is little small, but ok for diet people. Brain boosting ingredients also they’re saying – let’s see if memory becomes sharper 🙈.Overall, good one for healthy snack. I’m keeping in my bag now!

I love these bars. The ingredients are clean, the texture is good, the flavor is great! they give me a boost when I need it, low sugar and not a bunch of sugar alcohol . good variety of flavors. priced as expected. ships quick. The caramel ones are a bit soft for the desert in the summer (they kinda melt in the car/back pack) but the peanut butter chip ones taste like grandma's cookies when warmed up. good product.

I was looking for a protein bar that was low in sugar. Being someone who cannot consume sugar alcohols, I was very pleased to learn that these bars do not contain any, so they did not cause any stomach issues. Also, the flavor was very good for all varieties in this multi pack. The consistency was slightly soft and mildly chewy and I liked all the flavors. Great healthy snack option for me.

I’m so impressed with these IQBARs! The sampler pack is a great way to try all the flavors — and honestly, every one of them is tasty. They’re not too sweet, have a great texture, and leave me feeling full and focused without any sugar crash.I love that they’re packed with clean ingredients, plant-based protein, fiber, and brain-boosting nutrients — all while being vegan, gluten-free, and low in sugar. They make a perfect meal replacement or quick snack when I’m on the go.If you're looking for a healthy, functional bar that supports both body and brain, IQBARs are a fantastic choice. Highly recommend giving the sampler a try!

I’m genuinely impressed with these IQBAR sampler bars. The Chocolate Mint Chip flavor tastes rich and fudge‑like, with just the right hint of mint—and the texture hits the sweet spot: soft and moist, almost cake‑like, not dry or overly chewy.Beyond great taste, I love the clean credentials: 12 g of plant-based protein, only 1–3 g of sugar, plus low net carbs and gluten‑free. As someone managing dietary needs, I appreciate knowing it’s vegan‑friendly and contains brain-nourishing ingredients like Lion’s Mane and MCTs.Overall, a tasty, functional bar that balances flavor, texture, and nutrition. Highly recommend!

**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.

The texture is soft and chewy—like a dense cookie dough—and they’re not overly sweet, which I appreciate. The flavors are spot on; I’m particularly fond of the Chocolate Sea Salt and Peanut Butter Chip. What sets these apart is the clean ingredient list—no sugar alcohols or seed oils—and they’re packed with brain-boosting nutrients like Lion’s Mane and magnesium. Each bar keeps me full and focused without any crash. Perfect for a midday pick-me-up or pre-workout snack.

I only have eaten the chocolate mint bar (did not try the others). I did not find these bars to be good tasting. You can taste the protein powder in them. They may be great for a quick boost, but if you are looking for a bar that tastes great--these are not it.OK, I am updating this review. I did try the almond bar and it was delicious! Will continue to update as I try more.
