Barebells Reviews

Best of Thingtesting4.4

Barebells earns strong reviews as a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar and, for many, outperforms competitors in flavor and texture, with standout SKUs like Cookies & Cream, Caramel Cashew, Salty Peanut, and Creamy Crisp delivering 20g of protein and minimal sugar taste. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some flavors skew too sweet, soft, or artificial; certain bars feel dense, chewy, or powdery; vegan varieties and select flavors disappoint; and sucralose use turns off purists—useful caveats for buyers seeking taste-first macros.

    Do yourself a favor and don’t. It tastes awful and loaded up on just artificial sweetener. All I tasted was stevia. I didn’t even finish the drink with how bad it was. Barebells should stick to their bars imo.

    This flavor is amazing! I have bought out all of the stock at Walmart and The Vitamin Shoppe. It’s so yummy and doesn’t make your stomach hurt. It’s enough for a meal replacement, which is great for travel or on the go.

    I typically avoid protein bars but since trying to add more to my diet these have been my go to. I have yet to find a flavor I don’t like and they travel extremely well.

    I’m new to protein bars and products in general, but Barebells is a very novice-friendly brand. Good flavors (for the most part) with my fave being Caramel Crunch. I am also a fan of their protein shakes, particularly, vanilla or chocolate (I’m basic like that), but the sugar amount in those where one point comes off in the raining (way too high for my liking).
