ZonePerfect Protein Bars - Chocolate Peanut Butter Flavor, 12 Pack | High Protein Snack with 14g Protein, Vitamins & Minerals | Great Taste Guaranteed | Perfect for Workouts, Hiking & On-the-Go Nutrition

I buy these regularly from different stores. MeAnd my kids enjoy them a lot. My Amazon purchase wasn’t the best tho. The bars weren’t expired. But the whole box of them was hard. Like really tough. So nobody will eat them now. GrrrI've tried several of the flavors offered by ZonePerfect, but these chocolate-peanut butter are my favorite and, honestly, the only flavor that I actually look forward to eating everyday. I'm not a great eater, choice-wise, and I do need a good source of protein everyday as my choice-of-sins is carbs. The only bad thing about these protein supplements would be the sugar amount but, to me, it's a fair trade off. I will throw in one more bad thing about these, and that is, since these are chocolate based, they do get melty on your fingers unless you hold your bar with the wrapper, they can be messy - and going along with that, these are a difficult item to order in the summer (in Phoenix, AZ), as once the mailman places the box in my hot-box community mailbox that sits right in the afternoon sun, it's a box of molten mess!These protein bars are really great. The flavor is great and adds protein to my dietA delicious meal replacement or snack bar. Although each bar has 200 calories, it is not a empty calorie candy bar. The Zone bar satisfies a carving for a chocolate and peanut butter bar and it filling.With 200 calories, 6 grams fat, 14 grams protein, 3 grams fiber, Vitamins A, B12, C & E, Potassium and Calcium, I rate it 4 stars. To earn 5 stars, I would like to see less sugar (16 grams) and Sodium (200 mg).These are delicious. I have been eating these instead of ice cream or pure junk food for a midnight snack or for an on-the-road snack when I'm traveling. They fill me up without making me feel as guilty. I slightly prefer the Nugo Vanilla bars because these seem to melt more easily and can make my fingers dirty if I eat one after leaving it in my car all day in the Summer. In fairness, chocolate should probably melt in the heat, but nonetheless this makes these a smidgeon less convenient than the Nugo bars. I tend to alternate them for variety.Items had been melted and looked terrible. Didn't taste very well, Couldn't even finish one bar! Can't return or replace.Not cure it was the best price, but the convenience of having delivered to my door is nice. The bar are very high protein, yet still taste good. The product itself is very satisfying meal substitution if you are on a high protein diet.I really love the taste of these Zone bars! The consistency is nice as well. They make a good meal replacement choice.Always great. Too bad they are so expensive.A good breakfast bar to keep you going until lunchtime.Stale
