A little dry but generally pretty good. They are individually wrapped, so I plan to throw some into the freezer at work as a low cal snack.
How is the size? Need several for a lunch?
70 cal each for a bigger than mini muffin but smaller than reg muffin sized. They are pretty dense. A serving of 3 for 210 cal would be a pretty good small meal for me. 15g carbs, 12g fat and 15g protein.0 -
Mixed this with my greek yogurt this morning. YUM! Excellent coffee flavor, way better than Quest's Cold Brew. I went onto to Amazon and ordered the Caramel Frappe after tasting this one.

Starting your own thread will probably get you better answers.
As to your question, it's impossible to know. Everyone is different.
Read this thread. It's gold for newbies.

Both of these products were excellent. The maple pecan puffs were just the right amount of sweet with a layer of glazed perfection. I tried the Kansas City BBQ and the original “bacon” chips and both were delicious.
I am really curious about the vegan bacon chips, but I don't like mushrooms. Could you tell they were made of mushrooms when you had them?0 -

No, this brand doesn't taste like mushrooms or have the texture at all!2 -

I definitely have to try this. I absolutely love coffee and coffee flavored things especially protein items.3 -

These posts and the marketing got me too. I ordered one box but if I like them I'm sure I'm over do it and buy many more. I have a thing for protein bars. 😁
Okay everyone keeps talking about these bars here, so I finally caved and ordered the sampler (10 diff flavors) box. I hope y'all are right and these are good. XD1 -

Okay, I am willing to try a mushroom if you really think I'll believe it's not a mushroom
We'll be in Berkeley one weekend and I'm making a list of all the "unique" food I can probably find there that I can't get in my smaller town. 0 -

Mine were delivered yesterday and I've had a couple. They are indeed very good! Like candy bar good. My only complaint is the texture isn't what I'm used to. These are chewy similar to firm and sticky marshmallow Easter candy is. I prefer to cut my protein bars into pieces so I can eat them really slow so that doesn't work too well. But they are delicious yes, and low calorie.
My favorite protein bars remains to be Costco's Kirkland chocolate chip cookie dough, and Julian Bakery Primal Thin Sweet Cream. Firmer textures and knife friendly.3 -

Kirkland Bars are delicious! I love the ones in the blue wrapper (Brownie?) but alas foiled again by lactose intolerance

Just a tip for those who don't care for the texture of the Built Bars: apparently freezing them is a good thing I'll try doing that when I get my two boxes 3

I really like the Built bars but, yeah, I have to cut them up or tear off pieces for dental reasons and it's sooooooo messy.
I don't think it would work if I freezed them either depending on how hard they get.
I think, if people can deal with the marshmallowy texture, they'll enjoy them. And the protein per calorie ratio is even better than my beloved quest cereal bars *RIP*.1 -

Hmph! I know! I tried flirting to take them off your hands but I suck at it online as well as real life.

I didn't find them to be mushroomy at all, but I do eat a lot of mushrooms. They had a great texture and were loaded with flavor. I got them at Sprouts, which I'm sure you'll find on the way to, or near Berkeley. I also found the palmini noodles in the pouch at Sprouts, which were excellent. If you download the free Sprouts app, sometimes you'll find good deals. Try and stop at a few different Grocery Outlets on the way too, different ones have different things available. I have one in the town that I live in, but I like stopping at other ones to check out what they have. I find lots of treasures!

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who stops at Grocery Outlet whenever I travel 1 -
So I can’t stand KIND products (texture, quality, etc). But these I would actually try!1 -

I like the texture. Chewy is my preference over crunchy. I don’t care much for marshmallows. I can see the comparison though to the texture. I love them. I have a cupboard full of bars in my search for the perfect bar for me. No more searching. Chocolate, chewy, low calorie, high protein and delicious!
Since finding out about these, I’ve reached my protein goal easily without going over my calorie budget. It’s my best food find of the year, thanks to this thread.5 -

I agree, I just wish they were a little more consistent in their measurements. My Mocha Built Bar I ate just now was 73 grams, not 55. That brings the calorie count to around 146 instead of 110 which isn't the worst but if you eat several in a day it can add up. I find that most of the time the bars are closer to being between 120 and 130 calories rather than the 110 calories listed.5 -

There's room in my world for many types of bars, but I do agree that the Built Bar macros are supreme. 1 -
Here I am, not fully understanding the Built Bar hype... feel left out, but they just do not interest me!5

Built Bars - which are you favorites? I'm going to try them for the first time...
I surprisingly liked most of the fruit flavored ones except for the lemon because it tasted too lemony. I'm looking forward to the blueberry cheesecake one at some point.
I didn't like the vanilla..I'm not sure why. And I didn't like the salted caramel because it lived up to its name and tasted salty.
I definitely didn't like the mint because....mint.
I liked the coconut which surprised me, too. This is where the marshmallowness comes in because I'm ok with the taste of coconut. Just not the bits and pieces of a coconut itself.
The double chocolate mousse wasn't half bad.
Those are the only ones I've tried.0 -
I like the mocha best of the ones I tried. Least favorite was the cinnamon, but those were free and I didn’t like them at all when I had the first one, but, they are ok. I’ll finish what I’ve got, but won’t buy them. Blueberry will be my next order.1
