taste good

I like muscle pharm

These bars are pretty tasty. I would of liked a little more Peanut Butter flavor though. But I would buy them again.

Note: There is a lot of talk and negative reviews due to a change in the formulation of these bars. I can confirm that the batch I received from my recent order is the old, superior version.After being diagnosed with a heart condition and spending several days in the hospital, it suddenly became very urgent for me to live a healthier and more active lifestyle. The unhealthy meals and junk food were banished from my kitchen, and a spare room was converted into a home gym.While I am happy with the changes (for one, I have a lot more energy now), there are some things from my old lifestyle that I do miss sometimes, like candy bars. As a substitute I started having one protein bar a day as a between meal/post workout snack. I tried MET-Rx bars and didn't much care for them. For the past few months I've been buying Clif Builders bars; while I liked those better, my brain wasn't fooled into thinking that it was real candy. Instead it was "good enough."I recently purchased Combat Crunch bars because I was getting tired of the hard texture of the Clif bars and hoped that these would be different. My goodness, the moment I took a bite out of the peanut butter cup bar I was hooked. It was like I was eating an actual candy bar! It was so good that I simply couldn't stand waiting until the next day to try one of the cinnamon twist bars. I decided to have a second bar and consider it one of my meals for the day.I was pretty pleased with the peanut butter bar, but the cinnamon twist bar was amazing! It was like I was eating a cinnabon in bar form. Never have I felt so naughty while eating something that is good for you. I find myself eagerly anticipating my next workout so that afterwards I can kick back and indulge in this gooey cinnamon goodness. I no longer have a craving for sweets because I get my fix from these bars.Muscle Pharm has earned themselves a loyal customer this day. I will be buying these bars from now on.

Update 9.28.2027: I had to remove all the stars due to this gross and drastic change in bar formula/recipe that has aparently happened. I was such a fan of these bars and was ordering them from amazon every other week because they were fresher and gewier than buying from GNC and i was indulging in them daily, sometimes twice. They were out of stock for a few weeks end of this summer, then when they finally came back in stock, it took way longer than usual to arrive despite shipping with prime, as usual. When it finally arrived, a week late, it came packaged and tasting completely different. Not just the flavor, they also changed whatever they use to make the crunch too. Now it has such a poor and undesirable texture, its no longer bursting into chunks of yummy gewy chocolate like before. I liked so many flavors but the chocolate chip cookie dough was my favorite. I used to highly recommend these bars to everyone. I cant beleive you can change a product so drastically and still market it as the same thing as if nothing happened. Its so ruined now. Such a huge difference from the review I left before. Would give so much to get the old bars back.Best protein bars, yummy and reliable for macrosI had to log on and share a review because I just bit into what seems to be an upgraded version of the chocolate chip cookie dough flavour, which now has actual chunks of chocolate throughout the nougat, not just on the outside as it had been before and it was amazingly indulgent and delicious. I have been ordering these for over a year now to help maintain my macros and theyre great for when you are on the go and still need to hit your numbers without packing so many things and weighing them etc. Just throw one in my purse, nice and small, and im ready to socialize without the threat of temptation or hunger - these bars are lifesavers (these are especially clutch during ski trips!!). I have 2 a day: one white raspberry (after the gym), the other chocolate chip (latenight snack after dinner) which allows me flexibility to replace them with other things if needed. When I get a fresh batch, the texture is such an enjoyable combination of crunch and chewy. Very fulfilling because of all that fiber and such great flavor, none of that nasty chemical after taste that some other protein bars can have (cough...quest...cough) - these are such a treat that I look forward to daily. The combat bars are the best of the protein bars I have tried, almost all of their flavors were great (Chocolate cake and chocolate coconut are good. I did not enjoy birthday cake or cookies and cream) but the 2 I mentioned before are my fave (Choc chip cookie dough and White Choc Raspberry) I am careful to order only from "Amazon.com" on the sellers list because I have placed amazon orders for batches of these bars fulfilled by other sellers before and they were horribly stale and stiff, even though they were well within the expiration date and it greatly changes the taste and enjoyment. I had 2 just throw half of my last box out because I couldn't suffer through those gross rock hard bars anymore, and I was careful to never purchase from that seller again. So thats just my tip for trying to get the freshest bars because it seems that it varies greatly depending on the seller and how they are storing them.
