The bars taste good but one thing we did not like was the oil that came with them.Unfortunately many of the bars hadLeaked and there was oil all over the box and outside of the bars when they arrivedSo, I bought these because I read the company’s founders’ book. The book was great, and quite a bit more scientific than diet-fad-ish. It taught me to do a cleaner keto, to avoid sugar alcohols and low-carb sweeteners, count total carbs instead of net carbs, eat only “real” foods I can pronounce, and avoid all vegetable oils like the plague. In the book, they talk pretty extensively about how their company makes bars and supplements for keto because so much of the stuff out there is just high-priced garbage. (Agreed.)These show up, and lo-and-behold, they’ve got 11 total carbs for a bar the size of a slightly-larger fig newton, so much stevia in them dentists within ten miles instinctually perked up like lions on the Serengeti, a bunch of stuff I can’t pronounce and have no idea what it’s there for, and it has sunflower lecithin (aka, oil). So much for that whole, ‘only accept oils from things that are naturally oily like coconuts and olives’ and ‘avoid cheap oils like the plague.’ I’m sure the company’s founders have wonderful rationales for all this, but it seems rather to go against their own rules. I don’t know. Maybe it’s a packaging issue and they should explain it better on the label?Oh yeah, and they taste pretty gross. No almond flavor, no chocolate flavor, just chemical sweetness.EDIT: so, I tried the other flavors, and they’re good. I think the almond butter brownie ones just aren’t. I also think Amazon probably mishandles them (think letting them melt and resolidify multiple times), because the weird and unappetizing texture—rock hard lump sitting in a pool of oil—isn’t intentional.Habia probado unas similares de otra marca que me gustaron por eso las ordene. Pero no me gusto el sabor. Pero no se pueden devolver.Keto Bar and people need to wake up. A carb is still a carb. Don’t listen to the health fad people saying oh fiber isn’t carb since it passes through the digestive system. Go try it for yourself by taking fiber supplements and watch your undigestible carbs cause weight gains on the measuring scales in the bathroom. You won’t gain weight from these carbs just doesn’t add up when it actually does cause weight gain. Listen to people like Tiger gym on YouTube who actually tells the truth about these companies, and his latest rant on keto protein coffee, bang energy’s latest high carb keto coffee taking the industry by storm. Stick to only 1mg of caffeine in a day, it actually works. Now, onto these keto bars, their flavor is below average, their texture is average, and their ingredients are average. However the quality of health of the ingredients may be above average, but that’s only because the industry’s leading protein bar is Power Crunch Canada, which has health risks because of Canola Oil. If keto bar would imitate Power Crunch wafer’s texture, which is superior, flavor - again which is superior, and skip the canola oil blood clot health risks and low calorie and attempt to get near zero carbohydrates (not zero, don’t curse the carb’s presence, which is like not cursing the Holy Spirit of God from being present), then they could achieve a five star bar, assuming they are willing to listen to God’s guidance on this. The price on these bars is also tough, but admittedly they come in a large box. Also, we like eating our protein bars from out of the refrigerator. It conserves them and makes them taste better. Lastly, variety in flavor is very important, as well as organic natural ingredients, whether derived from plants or grass fed whey. Power Crunch has such powerful and unbeatable flavors as dark chocolate mint, salted caramel, vanilla cream, triple dark chocolate, peanut butter, red velvet, strawberry, cookies and cream, cotton candy, birthday cake, and maybe more. We suggest a great protein bar company should further imitate the Bible and use twelve different organic flavors, using fruit and herbs for great combinations. Look at snowcone and ice cream for flavor ideas, like pineapple coconut, sweet lime (lime skin essential oil), peppermint, lemon, etc and don’t feel sorry for larabar and kashi for having lemon bars and claiming to be organic but they aren’t waking up and changing with scientific and spiritual knowledge and wisdom.My Wellness doctor suggested these, so they must be healthy for you. I taste an after taste. I think this Keto bar may melt in hot weather. When they're cold, they are like a thick funny tasting chocolate bar.Ordered these bars w/ 2 day delivery, arrived Oct 7, 2020 with an expiry date of Oct 19, 2020 which is ridiculously close for a packaged item and means I should eat 1 bar a day from when I received them until when they expire, which is not at all what I was planning to do. For $50 worth of snacks that's not a great experience. The taste is pretty bitter, which I expect a bit from a stevia-sweetened item but I'm wondering if the flavour has changed since they're almost expired. Won't be ordering these bars off Amazon.ca again, do not recommend, assume they've been sitting in a warehouse somewhere for a long time :/I received these today and just took a bite and honestly cannot take a second one. It is absolutely the worst tasting protein or keto bar I have ever tasted, both in texture and flavour. Perhaps some of the other flavours are more palatable. Half-hour later I am still feeling nauseous and trying to get rid of the taste from one tiny bite. I am sure I sound very dramatic here but this is honestly no exaggeration. Zero stars if that was an option.Been eating these for years. I have noticed that the taste is inconsistent and sometimes the batch of bars just tastes different than previous. I've searched far and wide, all across North America, and these bars are the healthiest; especially for anyone on Keto or with SIBO, IBS, IBD, or Crohn's. They are quite expensive in Canada, and shipping direct from PK is even less cost effective; but, you'll have a hard time finding anything healthier.I really wanted to like this product but took one small bite and threw the whole box in the garbage. Not a good flavor, a REALLY strong after taste, crumbly and oily. Plus a couple of the bars had leaked through the packaging so all the bars were covered with an oily film.Not good in any way. Do not waste your money. I had to give this 1 start but it deserved 0 stars.If you want a good Keto Fat Bomb. Buy NoSugar Keto Bomb. The Dark Chocolate Mint and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter are particularly good. Taste very close to a Peppermint Pattie and a Reese's Peanut Butter cup.The flavour is not really enticingSo I did not like it as much
