Rise Pea Protein Bar - Vegan Lemon Cashew | Breakfast Bar & Protein Snack 15g Protein Just 3 Whole Food Ingredients Non-GMO Gluten-Free Soy Free

Review for Rise Pea Protein Bar - Chocolatey Coconut | Breakfast Bar & Protein Snack:It is sweetened naturally, no weird artificial sugars listed. All the ingredients have healthy nutritional value.As a vegetarian, I think this product tastes good. It is made with carob but tastes like chocolate. If a person is looking for a candy like taste, this breakfast bar does not taste like a candy bar.I like the fact that it gives my family an easy, healthy start to the morning without needing to cook something. The protein content allows all my family to feel satisfied until lunch time.

Moist ,chewy, tasty chocolate coconut bar ! Finally a bar for people with dietary allergies/restrictions and no funky sugar substitutes . Just 5 real ingredients. Excellent , would recommend and repurchase !

Neither my wife nor I can eat these bars. If you have ever driven past a dog food plant (like Alpo in Allentown, Pa where we used to live), you will recognize the odor as soon as you open the packaging. I managed to get a whole bar down, because of the lemon taste (I love lemon flavored anything), but I will never try another one because of the bad taste and smell. To be sure, I offered one to my wife to see her reaction - her nose wrinkled as soon as the package was torn - she bit off a small bite and said she could not eat it. This woman never throws ANYTHING away, and will eat almost anything, as she said so herself. However, she will NOT touch these bars.The honey / cashew bars are edible. However, carob is NOT chocolate. Though we are able to eat them, they are no substitute for real dark chocolate.I will stick to my Quest Bars - they have more protein, and flavor that I have tried has been very, very good - especially the ones with dark chocolate. If Rise is "real food" - I'd rather go hungry than it them.John in Simpsonville, SC

These bars are fantastic for a snack bar. Great protein, low sugar, and barely any ingredients! I'm a huge fan of the minimalistic ingredients. It makes me wonder why other companies use so many ingredients when you can get a good tasting bar with less!The Lemon Cashew is my favorite flavor by far. It's chewy and tasty. The cinnamon flavor tastes good too, but much drier and more cake like than the others that I've had from Rise.Pros:- Easily packable protein bar- Wholesome ingredients- Very few ingredients- Pretty good macronutrient profile. Can't complain much about that.Cons:- There is very little fiber. I eat a lot of salads, and I still notice a difference after eating one of these.- Oils start leaking out of the packaging after a few weeks of sitting in a bag (or shorter if it's hot out). After a few months of having plant oils leak out into the cloth of my backpack, they start to get a little smelly. I've had to wash my backpack to get rid of the odd semi-rancid smell. As long as you eat them right away, it isn't a big deal. Keep in mind that these aren't the best bar to store in a bag and forget about.Overall, I like these bars and have been buying them for the last year or so. Very low in carbs so I can eat them close to b​edtime and not feel bad. They also help me boost my protein intake when I'm traveling a lot. Just remember to eat them with water and you'll be fine!

I love the lemon flavored bars and always have one stashed in every bag while I’m traveling. I decided to chance it and bought a box of the sunflower flavor. Rookie mistake—I should have tested one bar before buying an entire box…Now I’m trying to hurry up and eat them so I can justify buying a new box of the lemon ones that I like.

My son is very health conscious and works out regularly. He also has egg, milk and peanut allergies. These bars are perfect - high protein snack, clean ingredients without allergens. He loves them!

Hoped to love these. We have allergies, chewing, swallowing, and digestion problems. So good nutrition is hard to find. These seem so nutritious, and simple ingredients. The flavor of the lemon cashew is gentle lemon, but the bars are pretty hard and VERY dry. The one we managed to try wasn't gritty, no nut pieces, skins, or shells, just a hard-packed powder brick that slowly broke apart in the mouth when chewed carefully to avoid choking. We think anyone would find them too hard to chew and swallow. Anyone would need lots of liquid or fat to be able to swallow these. They are so dry, microwaving prob wont soften them since there is nothing to melt. They really need cashew butter (not powder), fat or more liquid mixed in to make them less risky. We might chat with amazon customer service to see if they will refund without return.

OK - it's not as tasty as some - but there is no distaste at all. I easily accept this as a superb tradeoff for a truly healthy protein bar. This lemon-cashew is the first flavor I've tried - maybe another has more pop for my taste buds - but, again, I do not care about that but instead seek the "better" alternative. I will not be going back to the more traditional protein bar that comes in 20 flavors. I'm ex-Army, and I wish I had a backpack full of these bars versus the c-rations and candy bars they gave us back in the early 1970s when we went into the field. THANK YOU.
