Product Reviews of Balance Bar Complete Nutritional Food Bar, Mocha Chip, 1.76-Ounce Bars (Pack of 15)
Product Review: Incredibly chalky and cardboard like
Summary: 2 Stars
I have to agree with "R.Katz" They are incredibly chalky and cardboard like. They also have a strong dark chocolate taste. I don't particularly enjoy dark chocolate; those that do might enjoy these. The bars I received were well within their expiration date.(10 months to go) OK but certainly not the best Balance Bar flavor.Product Review: It's what's for breakfast
Summary: 5 Stars
I just think they're yummy. And portable. And they satisfy my chocolate craving.Product Review: Love it
Summary: 5 Stars
Great taste for something that has 200 calorues & 15g protein! I just wish it had more fiber. I guess you can't always have it all!Product Review: Mocha chip--yum!
Summary: 4 Stars
I usually don't buy chocolate-flavored protein bars because 1) I tend to eat them for breakfast, so I prefer more fruit-type flavors, and 2) I find that the chocolate bars tend to be more artificial tasting. However, I saw one of these bars on sale, and because I absolutely love mocha, I decided to give it a try.
Taste-wise, this bar is excellent. It is rich, chocolate-y, and has a very good, distinct mocha flavor too. It was pleasantly chewy without having the overly nougat-like consistency that some protein bars have. Overall, I definitely enjoyed this bar, and from a flavor perspective, I would not hesitate to buy it again.
The reason I gave this bar 4 stars instead of 5 was due to the nutritional profile. At 200 calories, it is about what you would expect from a protein bar; I was fine with that. But both the fat content (7 grams, including 3.5 grams saturated) and the sugar content (17 grams, or over 3 teaspoons) were a little on the high side to me. Some bars include fiber; this one has <1 gram. It does have 15 grams of protein, which was a big plus.
So, in the end, I probably will buy this bar again, but I will limit myself to using it occasionally rather than as a more regular, healthy part of my diet.
Product Review: One of my favorite flavors
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried many Balance Bar flavors, and Mocha Chip is one of my favorites. It has a great chocolatey taste which satisfies my sweet tooth while still being healthier than a chocolate bar. Keeps me full, too.
Amazon shipped it quickly, and the item arrived fresh and undamaged.
