David High Protein Bars No Sugar - Sugar Free Protein Bars, Low Carb, Gluten Free - 28g of Protein, 150 Calories - David Bar On-The-Go Snack - Variety Pack (All Flavors), Pack of 6

The taste varies between great and okay. The macros are amazing, and it is fulfilling. But unfortunately, today i opended the peanut butter chunk flavor, I saw small green dots, I thought it might be part of it, but when I took the first but i immedietly regreted it, it was rotten, and I almost threw up my entire lunch. All the other flavors were fine, except this one, disgusting. I kept it in the fridge aways, so i'm sure it was shipped like this.

Only tried the blueberry so far and OMG these are the fire! So dang tasty with high protein content and so few calories definitely a score!!! I had it in place of lunch and it was great, not too filling but got me over the lunch hunger pangs! I will keep in my purse for those times I am rushed and need something fast. Another cool factor is the fact it isnt all chocolate and melted when you open it!

Texture is good, lots of protein, good flavor. Will buy again.

Normally I eat Quest protein bars. They're available almost everywhere, they cost about as much as most other protein bars, lots of different flavors, and have what I consider to be acceptable marcos. I also like Barebells, because those are close enough to a "real" candy bar to feel almost like a treat and not just a way to get some extra protein. There are bars that taste better than both Quest and Barebells, but they probably have more calories and/or less protein. I try to benchmark off of ~200 calorie, ~20g protein, and there are a lot of options at those levels. Beyond that, everything is subjective when it comes to taste and texture and whatever else. That said, these David bars are weird if you're used to the denser options on the market. The bar itself is very light and fluffy, which I was not expecting, and that is true for all the flavors in the variety pack. Of all the flavors, they fell into two groups for me - 3 that I would eat again and 3 that I would not. I would put Fudge Brownie at the top. I think I feel this way because the bar itself is chocolate, and the two PB options, Cookie Dough and Cake Batter are all pretty similar. Regardless, it is my easy winner of the 6. Cookie Dough and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk tasted basically the same to me, but I still liked them and did not feel like it was a chore to eat them. So these 3 would work fine as things I could eat regularly (1 bar a day). As for the rest, Blueberry Pie was actually good as well, but I just don't think I would want to have that one all the time. Cake Batter I did not enjoy and Salted Peanut Butter was just like Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk but with salty crunchy bits mixed in and no chocolate. In any case, those just did not do it for me and I would not try them again. However, I'm not aware of anything else on the market that can do 28 grams of protein at 150 calories. If you are chasing macros or are in calorie deficit or just really watching your calorie intake, then freeing up 50 calories while getting 8 additional grams of protein is a pretty big deal. I think a lot of people would put up with stuff that tastes a lot grosser than any of these bars to get that. Lastly, the price on this is definitely on the higher side, but what do you expect? Until/unless other companies start selling bars with similar macros, it seems like it is worth it to pay a premium if this is a thing you care about.

I first tried David bars last year sometime when they first came out, and did enjoy them, though didn’t reorder because of the price. But lately I’ve been seeing a bunch of ads for them which put them back on my radar, so decided to order the variety pack to try them again. The good news? They all tasted amazing. I loved the taste, especially the salted peanut butter. The texture was absolutely awesome, just about the best bar I’ve ever tried. I admit the blueberry tasted nothing at all like blueberry but was tasty in its own right as long as you didn’t think of it as blueberry. I was all ready to look into seeing if there were sample packs of the cinnamon roll and the red velvet, the two flavors i hadn’t tried. But then the bad news. :-( I had checked ingredients when I bought them last year but hadn’t bothered to recheck again with this new batch, but when I did I found they now contain maltitol, sucralose, and ace-K. I will never willingly touch maltitol ever! What a bummer. I’m so disappointed. Not to mention, I’m also T2 diabetic and these bars raise my BG by 30-40 points. So, sadly, I won’t be ordering David again unless things change. But keeping it 3 stars since taste and texture is amazing and if you want a good protein hit and don’t mind the new sweeteners you might be happy with these bars.

Packs a lot of protein in few calories. These are not the best tasting bar I have ever had, but they are most nutritious with the highest amount of protein and least amount of calories. They don't have sugar, hence the lower delisiousness, but I will easily trade a bit less taste for the low calorie - high protein combo. That is not to say that are not tasty at all, just not scrumptious. The texture is soft, which some may not like, but for me it is fine. They are surprisiingly filling for such low calorie density.
