thinkThin Protein Nut Bar, White Chocolate, 1.41 oz Bar (10 Count)

I discovered Think Thin products at my local Trader Joe's market. But, the per bar price was a bit high. Then I saw that Amazon sold them and had so many more flavors. I have been ordering them one by one. This is one of my favorites. I like the crunch of the nuts and the sweetness of the white chocolate. It may be a little too sweet. I like the darker chocolate with the nuts better. But, if you're looking for a different taste with the crunch of nuts, this is a good choice. I use them as a breakfast food mostly. They don't raise my blood glucose and that's good.

Okay so I ordered every flavor of these during the summer sale in June were most of the flavors $12, and if you signed up "Subscribe and Save" they were $10.50 each. So, I will be putting up reviews as I open each box. They have been in the fridge (keeps me from random snacking) and I opened Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Mudslide, and Mixed Nuts & White Chocolate last night. I am 5'3" and 118 and I try to add some protein to my diet with bars like this. My review will only be for the Mixed Nuts & White Chocolate (others on the appropriate product pages.) I will start with what EVERYONE really cares about: TASTE! These bar tasted incredible to me!!!! Nutty, sweet, light, creamy white chocolate, chewy consistency, NO chemical taste, sweet but not too sweet. I read the nutrient profile and the ingredient list, and I am really pleased with the ingredient quality. This is what attracted me to the product. It is very low sugar, gluten free, and wheat free. This is great for those watching their waistline. On the other hand, it has a pretty sizeable fat content. This one has 12(!!!) grams of fat. So just be aware of that when including in your diet, too many of these and you WILL gain weight! The protein is okay (10 grams), as much as 1.5 oz of grilled chicken. (Although chicken breast doesn't have this much fat, and that's not enough chicken to fill anyone up.) The sodium isn't bad (110 mg). There are 8 net carbs, which subtract out the fiber and sugar alcohols (the sugar alcohols are in debate as to whether your body burns them as calories or not.) The calories, fat, protein, and carbs are equal to: a large plain green salad, 1.5 oz chicken breast, 2 cups broccoli, almost a full tablespoon of oil. So I say that to illustrate that this is definitely a healthy MEAL REPLACEMENT for those on the go (if you add veggies and soup) and really has TOO MANY calories for a full bar to be a snack. It also doesn't have enough heaviness/volume in your stomach to make you feel full for four hours until your next meal. It is kind a lightweight bar compared to thinkTHIN's regular 20gram protein bars (Read my review for Dark Chocolate and Chocolate Mudslide, those have a preferable nutrient profile for a meal replacement.) I don't really think any bar that has more fat than protein is helpful, people will still be hungry and gain weight. They do not really have enough protein to eat as a meal replacement because you will be hungry in less than four hours after eating. If you do use as a meal replacement, add a broth soup and a large green salad with low-cal dressing, or veggies (most grocery stores sell washed broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots that you can eat on the go.) Another way to incorporate these DELICIOUS bars into your routine is a breakfast. Perfect for on the go and it's hard to eat more before lunch even if you do get hungry (which most people don't get very hungry before lunch.) So in summary: EXCELLENT ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS; DELICIOUS, SWEET NUTTY FLAVOR WITH CREAMY WHITE CHOCOLATE (as good as a candy bar); CONVENIENT PACKAGING; WEAK VITAMIN & MINERAL PROFILE (you'll still need a comprehensive multivitamin daily); CONVENIENT SOURCE OF PROTEIN; GREAT SNACK (if you eat half as a snack or the other half later in the day as a snack.) THE PRICE IS RIGHT too based on Amazon's deal vs. in store pricing on these bars. They are very expensive in retail stores, Amazon is selling them almost 50% off. Helpful hint: if you sign up for Subscribe & Save, you get the best price. You can set your shipments to every six months, and even if you don't want them then, you can delay shipment. The point is, you really never have to buy more later in order to get the best price now. You can keep deferring shipment. Not saying that to scam Amazon, just saying that may help more people be willing to try a delicious bar if the price is right. I hope this review helped you make a purchasing decision, either for or against the product. I know I hate to waste my money, and I wanted to give a honest review.

I'm not sure if it was the packaging or the product quality itself, but the protein bar taste very stale. I also bought the Chunky Peanut Butter and Brownie Crunch in the same order - both came in tasting fine. It could be the texture of this bar and the way it was stored in the warehouse.

Like most of the thinkThin line, I like this bar as an occassional snack. Most importantly for me, it's gluten free, very crunchy with a lot of nuts (more peanuts than anything) and bits of crisped soy (that are a lot like small pieces of crisped rice) which can make it crumbly sometimes. It's not sickening sweet which makes me happy and the "white chocolate" coating on the bottom is a yummy twist. I like this one because it is satisfies my sweet craving and something lovely to enjoy every now and then...if I could change anything it would be that it would have more than 10g of protein.

I frequently purchase ThinkThin bars, and when I see a good price from Amazon, I jump. However, in the last 2 purchases, the product has arrived in moderately poor condition. The box of crunch bars was damaged and repaired with tape. One bar was missing. Twice I have purchased the peanut butter bars and both times the chocolate was powdery and cakey as if it had been stored in a less than optimal temperature range. They were within the sell-by date, but had that "too old" look. I will not purchase through Amazon again.

These were not bad. They taste good, maybe a little bit too sweet for me, but nothing over the top. If you are not working on losing weight, and just looking for a high protein bar, these are great. To me, they were not worth the calories. I like Atkins bars better, because I get the same amount of protein with smaller amount of fat and less overall calories.

These "ThinkThin Crunch, Mixed Nuts and White Chocolate" snack bars are really good tasting! The flavor is a nice mix between the nuts and the white chocolate, with neither one overpowering the other. Being a type 2 diabetic, I try to watch my carb intake (especially sugar) and these are low enough that they are safe for a mid-day treat.Each Bar Has -Calories: 180 (100 from Fat, with 2.5g of Saturated Fat)Carbs: 12g Net (16g - 4g Fiber = 12g, with only 2g from Sugar)Protein: 10gIt should be noted that these do contain Maltitol, which can cause "gastric distress" in some people.I ordered these in the summer and the white chocolate did melt and stick to the foil packaging on the first ones we opened since they were sitting on the porch for a bit before we got to them. This was not an issue for the rest after we got them inside and they sat for a day or so.The real test is if my picky kids will eat them, and they also like them as much as I do.Highly Recommended!CFH

Love the product, but unfortunately this time 3/4 of the box were just bars of nuts and no white chocolate. Appears to be a production issue.
