Detour Smart Nutrition Bars

I thought they were just O.K.

The oatmeal bar from Detour is a tiny snack, drizzled with a yogurt `paste` and filled with whole oats and cookie chips. It actually smells very good, like a real-deal cookie (but also has something that reminds me of ice cream). The bar is chewy, but the whole oats and cookie chips add a very nice texture.It's quite a delicious treat, but as a snack it barely keeps hunger away; I would eat this more like a `dessert`. I would not consider this filling enough for a breakfast.The ingredient list is quite `clean`, but 4 grams of sugar are a little too much for such a tiny snack. It has multiple sugars listed on the packaging, with sugar listed 3 times (once in the coating, once in the chips, once in the bar itself) and Stevia only once as last ingredient; the truth is that it's a sugar sweetened bar, not just a Stevia sweetened one as they claim. And I personally find it too sweet for my liking. The packaging also list 26% of the ingredients being organic.As a side note, I found the pouch very hard to open, which is cumbersome for me with snacks; I want them easy to open on the go.

Let me say that I am one of those few reviewers who did not receive these for free to write a review... so this is totally my unbiased opinion. I am big into protein/low carb/fiber bars and I've tried them all. I've never really found one that didn't have that "protein" or "faux sugar" taste. Until now. These are unequivocally the best bars I've ever purchased. I've tried all the flavors and blueberry and cookie dough are my favorites, with cookie dough being the best. They taste like cookie dough! I'm not even kidding. They have a sweet drizzle on top, delicious chocolate chips and the best part is there are whole rolled oats in the bars which makes the texture incredible. I love them so much I have been giving friends samples and everyone who has tried them has become obsessed. They are so good, it is mind blowing that they are good for you. Great clean protein, high fiber, gluten free and low sugar. There is no better bar out there. To show you how much I love them I'll snap a picture of the stockpile of cases I always keep on hand. Again, I'm only on here writing this because I love them and I hope this helps someone in their quest for that perfect bar... I've found mine!

It was mid afternoon, and I was craving a honey bun. Then I stopped, realizing I had the Apple Cinnamon bars that might actually be good for me. So....the first bite was horrible. Then after sipping some coffee, I tried again and it tasted pretty good for a protein bar. Bottom line: It was filling and took away my craving for something sweet. Can't beat that. If you are a picky eater, I probably wouldn't recommend. For me, it was great.

I just got my first box of these bars and split the first one with two of my friends. We all agreed they aren’t bad tasting but not really great either. I would not say they taste like raw cookie dough but have a hint of that flavor. The oats are very pronounced which I think will help keep me satisfied longer. I am on Weight Watchers so I’m always looking for a good meal substitute for my work lunch. These are 5 points each so I was hoping they would be a little more sinful tasting. All in all, not unhappy but also not thrilled with these bars. Probably won’t reorder them especially for the price and size.

Well the fat isn’t so bad between 1.5 -4.5 in these for one bar but who has one bar of this and is satisfied? I think the sugar is too high it doesn’t really need to be. Maybe if you’re having it for a meal replacement it’s not so bad and can only eat one but if you’re having for a snack I found the sugar and fat content is too high . I found these not be the most satisfying for a snack. there’s a lot of other things you could have in replacement of that. I only bought this group of packages a few times because of that and decided to get a low sugar bar that had chocolate drizzle, a chewy crunch and protein in it and was more filling at one bar for us as a snack.

I've tried four different flavors of these Detour Smart Bars. My favorite is Peanut Butter Chocolate, followed closely by Coconut Almond. However, I suggest ordering Coconut Almond only during colder months. Otherwise, it gets too soft and gooey. The Apple Cinnamon flavor are good, almost like an apple strudel. The Blueberry flavor is okay, but I have to be in a certain mood to enjoy it.I love that these have healthy ingredients and that the soy is non-GMO. I really like that these have very little sugar and no artificial sweeteners. While they do have a little sugar in them, they're sweetened mostly with stevia, which I love.

These cookies tasted pretty good. They are on the chewy side. My only problem with them is there is quit a few calories for their size. But better for you than a regular cookie.

Swift delivery, very well packed, decent price...no hassles at all. Many thanks - I will definitely be ordering again.
