Built Bar 18 Bar Variety Pack Protein and Energy Bars - 100% Real Chocolate - High Protein, Whey and Fiber - Low Carb, Low Calorie, Low Sugar - Gluten Free (9 Flavor Mixed Box of Built Bars)

These protein bars are great if youre on a cut. the protein to calories ratio is really good wile being low carb. The chocolate out coating tastes great across all the bars.That said, I will say that the fruit flavors are a bit gross IMO. Its because the fruity flavor tastes really engineered - kinda like a cheap box of valentines chocolates. If you're ok with that type of thing, you might like them though and even with the weird inner filling taste, the outer chocolate covering is great.My personal favorite is the double chocolate. Its pretty friggin awesome. This is immediately followed by the two coconut variants. Theyre also really good. Cookies n Cream and the Peanut butter one are decent and enjoyable. As far as Im concerned all the fruity ones suck. Wont do them again.As others have pointed out the center filling is a bit 'gummy'. Refrigerating the bars is best. The fruity ones are the most gummy/chewey which I did not care for - another strike on the fruity flavors. However my favs above were mostly firmer and so it didnt bother me at all.Ultimately I think these bars are great. Especially if youre cutting. If your goal is bulking, Id go with something else. You really should buy the mixed box once, just to try out all the flavors yourself. Once you know which ones you like, you can buy custom boxes of 18 bars/ 3 flavors directly from their website.One last con. These bar cannot be bought locally in a store, and are not on Amazon Prime. If you buy it off Amazon, theyre just forwarding the order to the manufacturer. And the turn around time for an order is REALLY slow. for example, I put in an order on their website, and it took 8 days before it shipped. And its getting shipped USPS so expect 3-4 days in transit. So we're talking close to 2 weeks before you get the product. Plan accordingly if you decide to get these on the regular

Edit: moved to 5 stars, seller sent another box to make up for my inconvenience, in the hot summer no less, but insulated it with a reflective bubble wrap. It managed to do much better. Great seller who wants to please and tries harder. THANK YOU!I ordered my first box in October. I love them. I love how it feels like I’m eating a treat, not a diet food. These are wonderful. Some flavors are better than others. I find even though it is delicious, I’m picking coconut out of my teeth the rest of the day if I don’t immediately brush afterwards.But my last box I ordered was in May. Then we had an unexpected out-of-town trip, and of course this time when I had ordered two boxes, they arrived and sat in my black mailbox for two days, absorbing all the sun rays. (My bad, I forgot to stop the mail)Just realize they are extremely meltable. Best to wait to order after September or October. Or offer to pay for a cooler and dry ice if you just can’t stand waiting until winter for your next box. It’s worth it!I immediately froze the boxes. They taste just fine, but little bits of chocolate drop everywhere when you open the package. I have to stand above the sink, which defeats the purpose of instant meal anywhere.

I got these because I saw some of my favorite YouTubers raving about them, but I was admittedly skeptical at first- I mean, how could they be so different from regular protein bars I’ve tried in the past? I was wrong. I convinced myself to buy my first box a couple days ago, and I was immediately in awe at their flavor. Not only is there a bunch of variety in the flavors, but every one I’ve tried is delicious (pro tip- put them in the microwave unpackaged for about 10 seconds to make it taste like a dessert). My favorite so far is the salted caramel and chocolate one! As well as tasting delicious, they don’t make me feel sick to my stomach at their sweetness- instead I always feel properly satiated and fueled for my workout or even for a simple breakfast before work! Lastly, they really help curb your sweet tooth so you’re not as tempted to go for higher calorie and higher sugar options (not that there’s anything wrong with a good donut here and there). Do yourself a favor and get a box of these as soon as you can!

I got these protein bars because I saw Stephanie Soo (YouTuber) speak so highly of them. They are pretty pricey but there are a lot of flavors for sure and the bars themselves are pretty good. My one complaint that I can’t seem to get past while eating them is their texture... if you’re a texture sensitive person, these are not for you. I would compare the inside to a very wet marshmallow just covered in chocolate. I usually don’t mind textures but this one is a little bit tough for me to get through. If you’re into that texture, these will be perfect for you. Lots of flavors, they taste pretty good and actually keep you full throughout your workout.

I started off with the flavor that I thought I may like least.....the mint. I actually liked it quite a bit. It was thick and chewy and lots of mint flavor. Just like having a candy bar. I wee bit over chewy but enjoyable. I would like to buy more in the future and can't wait to try other flavors. I think the assorted was the way to get started and hopefully will get in better shape in no time . I truly made me feel full and will naturally cut back on what and how much I'm eating. I knew this is a product would be something I would just have to try and I"m glad that I did. Deb Scott's wife

I wanted to see what the hype was all about so I purchased the variety pack I’m glad I did. Some of these are pretty gross and I haven’t tried all of them yet and I have a really high tolerance for food. And I had to spit some of these out like the cookies and cream 😂 also the raspberry disgusting like what is that all about. But I enjoyed the double chocolate and the mint one isn’t bad Also the caramel. They do have that candy bar texture and taste like chocolate which is a plus but you can really taste the sugar alcohol. Honestly after trying the cookies and cream one not looking forward to trying the others. But I’m glad I bought a box just over hyped honestly.
