Product Reviews of Dr. Melina Protein Bar, Lemon Raspberry, 1.58-Ounce Bars (Pack of 15)
Product Review: Interesting, worth it?
Summary: 3 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I've never been a person to spend $1+/bar on what seems to be a such a simple snack with these energy bars. I'm definitely not an energy bar guru or regular purchaser. I see loads of them when visiting Costco or Trader Joe's, but never think much of them.
I use these rather as a snack than as a meal replacement. With 5g fat (2g saturated) and 180 calories, they're a bit rich for a snack. Additionally, they've got some artificial junk inside (sugar alcohols) so they're not necessarily health food.
In terms of flavor, as others have said, yep, they're lemony. You can taste a bit of the raspberry, but the lemon is definitely dominant. Texture is a bit like a Rice Crispy treat.
Would I buy these again after experimenting? Probably not. I'd rather stick with cereal bars for about 1/3 the price that seem to fill me up just as much. I don't see how these could ever act as a meal replacement. To be honest, I haven't tried many other brands, so this review isn't meant to be a comparison with other energy bars.
Product Review: It's healthy, but it tastes TOO good

These health bars are probably healthy enough when eaten in moderation, but like most snack bars they taste TOO good and you're liable to eat too many. That's why unless you have rock-solid food discipline, I would suggest snacking on a natural snack like fruit or cheese.Product Review: MY FAVE!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried most of the high protein bars out there. Dr. Melina's bars are all wonderful and have a higher fiber content than many...and the calories are very reasonable!
The Lemon Raspberry flavor is my favorite but I wouldn't pass up any of the others!!
These are a valuable tool in the fight against all the temptations of the holiday season!!! I always carry one in the car and one in my purse!
Thank you Dr. Melina!
Product Review: Much better than I expected

I actually eat a lot of protein bars, being hypoglycemic, and most of them taste like cardboard. My son wrinkles his nose and refuses, knowing that even though they may be packaged like candy bars, they don't taste good. But these ones... these ones everyone ate. I personally don't like the chocolate flavors and it was a delight to find a lemon raspberry flavor that wasn't sweet, cloying or too artificial.
I got these as a sample from Vine, but ordered some more, even though they are on the pricy side, because they work, and they taste just right.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I approached this product with a good deal of skepticism; most of the nutrition/protein bars I've tried in the past have been, to put it bluntly, awful, so I was really not expecting very much out of Dr Melina's take on this idea. A good number of the other protein bars on the market have the consistency, (and flavor, for that matter), of Silly Putty. (and don't ask me how I know that. I STILL have memories of my parents telling me not to eat that stuff.... Yes, I was a stupid kid. So there.)
Soooo, anyway, it was a bit of a surprise to find out that out the box of Lemon/Raspberry bars I received in the mail was....(drum roll).....actually worth eating! My favorite bar up until now has been the Zone bar, (mainly due to all the variations on chocolate that they have, so that probably won't change), but I have to say that this flavor was a nice switch, and I would gladly purchase a 2nd box of them. The lemon and raspberry flavors work very well together, with just enough mix of sweetness and a sour "tang" in them, plus the caloric content is slightly lower than a Zone bar. The only thing that I wasn't thrilled about is that I thought there could have been a bit more crunch to these, but they are still light years ahead of the Silly Putty varieties from other companies.
In short, better than most of the other brands out there.
