Brain and Body Plant Protein Bars - Matcha Chai - 24-Count - Keto, Vegan, Low Carb, High Fiber, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Low Sugar Snack with Nutrients for Focus, Energy, Meal Replacement

I tried the IQBAR sampler and the Toasted Coconut Chips flavor is amazing! It has a perfect balance of sweetness and a satisfying coconut crunch. The texture is great, and it doesn’t taste artificial at all. It’s filling, low sugar, vegan, keto-friendly, and high in fiber—making it a perfect snack or quick meal replacement. I’m definitely impressed and would buy this flavor again.

I got the IQBAR sampler pack to try all the flavors. I was so impressed by the texture and flavors of these bars. They were almost like a cookie dough texture. Only 1 -2 gram sugar and 12 g protein which makes it such a good snacks. The packaging is great for on the go. Was pleasantly surprised because protein bars usually dont taste the best. Would def get more

**Updated Review -9/29/2021-** I'm finally submitting an updated review. I was sent a sample variety box from the Co-Founder. I was hesitant about these bars at 1st but gradually tried each. Indeed they did make changes. I gotta say, great improvements. The flavors are much better than before and have more of a moist, yet not oily, oatmeal/soft-like texture. Normally I like my bars cold but these are very good at room temperature. I went ahead and tried a bit of the remaining ones. I'll go through each favor. 1) Matcha Chai: I didn't even know they had this flavor. It's a new one to me. The matcha flavor is there and on point. It's a flavor I'm not used to but it might grow on me. I definitely like the ingredients this one has. 2) Blueberry Lemon: Far better, strong blueberry and lemon flavor with blueberry bits. 3) Blueberry: This had a deeper blueberry flavor, a better improvement. Good bits of blueberry. 4) Banana Nut: Definitely better, the banana nut hits the taste buds quickly. 5) Almond Butter Chip: I'm an almond and peanut butter lover and this one is quite good. May end up one of my favs. I did taste the almond butter quite well and the chocolate chips taste good. 6) Peanut Butter Chip: A solid improvement. The peanut butter flavor hit me a bit later than the almond butter. Not really a bad note, the peanut butter flavor is there. Peanut butter chocolate tends to be my favorite flavor so this may end up on the top for me. 7) Chocolate Seasalt: Although I'm normally not a fan of flavored bars with sea salt. this is far better than before. Good chocolate flavor and sea salt is there. On another note, I like their branding. The box shows what the bar actually looks like versus other brands showing some indulging treat of what it suppose to taste like. They even show videos of breaking apart the bars. And there you have it. Nice improvements IQ Bars. I can see these now as a good alternative choice for me. **Original** I've tried many different types of protein bars, starting from whey and switching to plant protein. I've seen recent reviews mentioning these bars taste better due to a new/better formula but these are very bland in flavor. I'm at the close point of giving this a 2 star. I give protein bars a good try and see how my tastebuds adjust to them. My tastebuds normally adjust well to new brands I try. The problem is these bars fail in the 1st impression in flavor. Even at a health standpoint, it shouldn't compromise flavor. I bought both variety packs, the chocolate and fruit lovers. Both so far are very bland and I just plan to choke these down so I don't waste the money but also to give these a full complete try. Maybe I got a bad batch but then that's also a problem. If IQBAR has really improved their bars, needs to be consistency across the board. Everyone is different, you may or may not like these. I wanted to try all the flavors but so far none are my favorite. I get health and nutrition, but not cutting corners. So here is my overall: Price: 3 - Avg/Fair - Price is around average imo compared to most plant protein bars but I've had better. Taste: 1.5 - Very bland - 1.5 - These bars may be the blandest bars I've had yet or at least in 2nd place which is a shame because also included in the box is a little sheet saying "we improved our bars". Texture: 3 - Semi Dry/soft - I'm fine with the texture. It has somewhat of a semi-moist granola texture. Ingredients: 4 - The main reason I decided to try, the ingredients look good overall. They look like a good alternative choice. Packaging: 5 - Packaging was great. Clean box design, no reckless handling, and bars in good shape. If you plan to try, I recommend one of the variety packs and hope you enjoy them. Unfortunately, these are leaning to a no-go for me. Maybe in the future that will change.

12 grams of protein but not a complete protein coming from peas according to the ingredient list, while that is not a huge deal at all its not whey protein, if you are like me though and prioritize your protein intake then we have plenty complete proteins being Ingested, the best reason for this bar is at 2 bucks a bar you get 8 grams of fiber, which you know if you prioritize protein how important fiber is, these are a good source of magnesium also plus they have lions mane mushroom and only 1 gram of sugar, remember these are health conscience bars but for the space that they compete in these bars are pretty tasty, I would have a hard time giving this 4 stars if it was whey protein, I normally eat 2 at a time, if they were whey protein times 2 that would be a great in between meals snack at 24 grams of protein and 16 grams of fiber plus 150mg of magnesium and double lions mane, just my opinion since you asked, thank you

These plant protein bars are surprisingly good. The chocolate flavors taste natural, not overly sweet, and the texture is satisfying compared to many other protein bars. They’re filling and work well as a quick snack or light meal replacement. I also like the ingredient profile—feels cleaner and easier on the stomach than many protein bars I’ve tried before. The variety pack is a nice way to try different flavors without getting bored. Overall, very happy with the taste, quality, and nutrition. Would definitely buy again.

These IQBAR plant protein bars are a great option when you want a healthy, low‑sugar, low‑carb snack that keeps you full and energized. Each bar provides a good amount of plant‑based protein and fiber, which helps with satiety between meals or after a workout. They’re also vegan, gluten‑free, and keto‑friendly, so they fit a lot of different diets. The flavors are generally enjoyable, although taste preferences vary — some people love them, while others find a few flavors a bit bland or grainy. Overall, they’re convenient, nutritious, and satisfying for daily snacking or meal‑replacement purposes.

I loved the chewy texture. The flavor of each bar was delicious. The bars have a decent amount of protein that help me go thru the day with out craving to much. The greatest thing is that they are low on sugar thats a plus. They are plant protein that makes it has a better meal replacement.

For a keto gluten free food bar, I won’t say great, but they’re good. At least the chocolate flavor, I also like the coconut chocolate chip flavor. Unfortunately the other flavors are rather lackluster. My only issue other than lack of variety that I like, is that I’d really prefer that they didn’t put in whatever little crunchy chunks they do. They are not really a pleasant texture and kind of take away from the experience they’re more like peppercorn texture than rice crispy texture. I have noticed that some batches have more or less of these, which is a bit suspect in terms of consistency of nutritional value. All that said, I still like them, just wish they were better.

Tres bon

Good product. Somewhat overpriced.

Delicious and tasty bars with a great nutritional value.

These are really good. Perfect size for a mid afternoon snack. Pre or post workout. Will be buying more.

Ideal to supplement your daily protein intake while indulging yourself whit a delicious treat. The merging of the ingredients has no retro taste while you're able to distinguish and enjoy them. So far, I've tried the Blueberries and the Almond butter flavor. Awesome In summarizing, a perfect balance of nutrients. A must for your backpack whether on the go or at home.
