Special KProtein Meal Bars, 12.7 oz Strawberry 8.0 Count

I am a semi fitness nut, I'm always looking for great ways to stay in shape and eat healthier and I've eaten a huge amount of protein bars in my life. This is by far the most delicious protein bar I've ever eaten. To be clear to anyone reading, this is NOT a keto-friendly bar. This bar is meant to be a meal replacement, the calorie count is higher than your run of the mill protein bar. 180 calories is about half of your average meal and it has 12g of protein which is about 1/5th of what an average person should consume on a daily basis. (note I am not a dietician). Still, the bar is delicious...and what I mean by that is that it's delicious FOR a protein bar meal replacement... it totally isn't a good replacement for a cheesecake.

I'm a nurse practitioner and can't always get breaks and lunch - I keep these in my care and one in my purse for those "just in case" times.

These are very tasty and, unlike some I have tried, there is no "eating sawdust" feeling when I chew these. I researched many different options on Amazon for high protein bars without a ton of calories, and I'm very glad I purchased these. The bars give me a little pep (sugar?) but at the same time, fulfills that desire for something sweet without choosing a Snickers bar. I'm trying to eat little meals throughout the day which is harder when you work constantly with people, but I can chow down on one of these in five minutes with out missing a beat. They are a repeat purchase, for sure! The strawberry flavor is pretty realistic (at least to me), but I also did buy peanut butter chocolate ones which are just as good.

Not as nummy as my go to peanut butter and chocolate Special K bars, but these come in second. I always keep a box around just in case I get sick and can't cook or need a snack when running out the door. They taste good, they've got protein, a decent array of vitamins, some fiber, and don't have a lot of fat or calories. You can't really go wrong. I like these a lot better than many of the bars that are targeted as health or protein bars. Compare labels and they've got much of the same stuff and taste better.

I love these bars! So tasty! I don’t know why they don’t sell them at the supermarket

Taste better than most protein bars I had. A good backup since it only has 12g of protein and a little too much added sugar (9g).

I really love these bars as they don't taste like protein powder at all. Rather, it tastes more like yogurt berries with a bit of crunch added (like cereal). The combination is quite enjoyable as this reminds me of eating that Special-K cereal with dried strawberries inside. The only gripe I have with this bar is that it is relatively small, pricey, and not all that filling. I generally have to have 2 to be satisfied. Also, it's interesting how this product is labeled as a "Strawberry" bar yet the ingredients say strawberry flavored fruit pieces that are made with cranberries with a strawberry flavoring. It seems fairly chemical so I am not sure how safe is it to eat multiple in one sitting (it is also fairly sweet if you have 2+ bars at one time - given that one bar has 14g of sugar, x2 = 28g, which is almost like having a can of soda).

I was offered these while in a ra-hab. hospital and discovered that they are very difficult to find in retail stores. As a Chronic Kidney Disease patient I have to be avoin too much sodium, potassium and phosphorus; these bars are a good protein "boost" snack when needed. They keep well - especially if refrigerated, so I stock up well in advance.
