I eat these on a regular basis - 180 cals, a good breakfast for me or mid afternoon snack when I can't wait for dinner. I usually eat the Nutz Over Chocolate and occasionally the Carmel Nut Brownie. They are pretty good, but I always kinda "tolerated" the taste thinking that's just what you get in an energy/vitamin bar. BUT...................today I tasted the Vanilla Almond - which isn't available at my regular grocery store and OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! :love: :love: :love: It is so good it tastes SINFUL! SUPER GOOD FOR 190 CALS!!!!!!!!! I THINK I'M GONNA BUY STOCK. . . . :smile:

tomorrow - going to try the Dulce De Leche.......................

    Ooo I haven't had vanilla almond! My favorite is Chocolate peppermint stick (I just finished eating one)!! I also like Iced Oatmeal Cookie but it's hard for me to find.

    They don't quite fill me up enough to replace a meal but they are high protein and satisfying! a great snack!

    Oh my I do love these bars! I try not to eat them too often because there are better protein bars out there, but sometimes when I need a good snack I will. The iced oatmeal raisin is to die for! Tastes like a cookie!

    A friend from the site was using them so I decided to try them too. They are super yummy! I have them for breakfast and then usually have 1/2 cup of eggbeaters sometime before lunch to fuel my exercise so that I can make it through until lunch. I love love love them. However, I feel that they are a bit pricey....anyone know where to buy them in bulk? Or the cheapest places to buy them? No Trader Joe's here....

    They are awesome - Put it this way - if you ate 2 of these you could nearly replace your daily vitamin! A little from the label:

    Vit A 20%, Vit C 20%, Calcium 35%, Iron 30%, Vit E 30%, B3 40%, B6 75%, Folate 100%, B12 75%, and it goes on and on. . .It is a nutrition Bar for WOMEN so has the folate, etc.

    As far as prices - I don't have a Trader Joes but I do have a Sprouts where they are on sale for .99 right now and also at King Soopers (Kroger) they are currently on sale for .88 cents.

    Perfect for breakfast or snack

    Where did you get these other tasty flavors?? I love the smores, and occasionally the two you mentioned. I also really enjoyed the white choc macadamia nut. I discovered a new kind, Luna Protein, which is smaller and covered completely in chocolate. It comes in cookie dough and peanut butter cookie. The cookie dough is tasty!

    I just tried Luna bars for the first time this week: Lemon Zest and Nutz over Chocolate. They were better than I expected, for what they are..... I'll have to try the Almond Vanilla and Iced Oatmeal Raisin if I can find them. Thanks for the tips!

    The Zone Perfect caramel cluster really reminds me of a Whatchamacallit (which was my most favorite candy bar back in the day).
