Misfits Health's plant-based protein bars are appreciated for their great taste, satisfying texture, and good macro balance. However, criticisms include the use of artificial ingredients, occasional poor taste experience, and some finding them not as filling as desired.

Flavors are great, love the amount of protein in them and that it’s plant based. However, only annoying part is the amount of artificial additives they have in them (p.s. my favorite flavor is cookie butter)!

Love the taste, they are not dry or chalky at all like some protein bars can be! They are quite small and not as filling as I would like, though.

I tried these from Trader Joe's and they've quickly become a staple! I personally love the flavors. They don't taste overly plant-based protein like most brands, and the texture is also nice and not too chalky or dry. I always grab some to take on hikes and adventures, and sometimes for a afternoon snack. Definitely want to try more of their flavors!
The few that I had of these weren’t really my taste.
Their flavors are very hit-or-miss with me---they're either amazing or just "meh". The cookie butter and s'mores, for example, were amazing. Those in particular were definitely some of the best plant-based protein bars that I've ever tried. The lemon cheesecake? Definitely could have done without. They do have a variety pack if you don't want to play roulette with the flavors :-)
Loved trying out a variety box of Misfits! My favorite flavors were the white chocolate caramel, white chocolate cookies and cream (which is surprising because I typically don't gravitate towards white choc) and chocolate caramel. I love the texture of the bars, they're pretty standard protein bar but have a nice crunch from the soy proteins. What really sealed the deal for me, however, is that it's sweetened only with stevia.
I feel like a lot of people say these but these are truly the best plant-based protein bars out there. They taste like candy and are good normal, melted, or even frozen for a bit. I love the macros on these and that they're low sugar.

I wish they were a bit more accessible - like I could go to the store and just buy one. Right now you have to buy them in boxes which is ok but sometimes I don't want to invest. That being said, I never regret when I do!
I am really enjoying their bars - they are crunchy, yummy, and don't taste too protein-y. They do have less protein (15g) than a standard Quest Bar (20g+), but for a vegan bar, that is pretty good! Their holiday flavors were quite yum, and they are generally light and airy. Cute branding!

Their protein powder on the other hand was a let-down. Tasted a little pea-y and chalky, and gets chunkier than usual powders in smoothies.
I bought a box of Misfit bars hoping to have that chocolate, caramel, and white chocolate taste. I’m not at all content with these bars. I got an aftertaste that I’m unable to describe. They are made with almond butter but I was unable to taste the almond butter. I did not like these at all. I put some in the freezer but the aftertaste remained.
I bought the variety box, so that I could give the brand a fair chance because not every bar in any brand is remarkable. Each bar had the same bland, slightly sweet, and unidentifiable flavor. The texture was dry and crumbly. The macros are mediocre and the price exorbitant. I will not repurchase, and I happily wasted my money by throwing away each bar after taking two bites.
They were actually really good for being plant based and didn’t taste like chalky protein like most do.

Less chewy.
The cookie bar tastes good. The rest are not good. The chocolate one tastes like straight up chemicals, I can’t bring myself to finish one. The cereals are super dense, even with vegan milk it’s hard to chew. I love the bright packaging and the box the bars come in makes for easy storage. The price however is outrageous(!!) given the quality of the food.

Do better lol
I ordered these from my friends recommendation. I got a variety pack and a box of cookie butter. I thought they were pretty good but I would say I didn’t care for a few of the flavors in the variety pack which was totally fine. I haven’t reordered, but they were definitely something that was good to have when I was in a rush. My friend also recommended to eat them after putting them in the refrigerator which I never got around to doing.
Great tasting bar for the macronutrients, but compared to other snacks, it was a bit chewy and not quite as satisfying.

I found Misfits on TikTok last year during a health-kick period of my life. I was watching an influencer review them and she said that they were the best protein bars that she had tasted. I had tasted a couple before (one of the most disgusting being Grenade) so I was up for trying something new. After ordering the variety box, I can honestly say, I will never order another brand of protein bar. I now how these on subscription from Amazon.

My favourite flavour is definitely the white chocolate peanut and the cookies and cream - highly recommend!
I have tried a hell of a lot of protein bar brands over the years, and I can confidently say this is the best. Here's my laundry list of praise: - Fantastic flavors that go beyond what you see from most bar companies. Of course you have your classics like Chocolate Brownie and Chocolate Peanut, but you also get Speculoos, Banofee, Chocolate Gingerbread and more - Perfect flavor. I see this time and again in testimonials about the product, but it genuinely tastes like a candy bar. - VEGAN! - Wonderful branding - Superb nutrition facts - Good price point - I know this might seem slightly irrelevant, but I genuinely admire and respect so many of the influencers they work with, which I think speaks highly of the brand's ethos

I'm grateful that this UK company ships to the US, but I would love to see Misfits available in grocery and nutrition stores in the states, too!
It’s difficult to find a truly tasty gluten free protein bar and sadly these are just as tasteless, dry and hard as all the others. Haven’t tried all the flavours so perhaps I just haven’t found the one for me yet. Not the worst and I usually have a few on hand in case I’m in a pinch (being gluten free and travelling sucks), but not my favourite either.
I used to have a stock of these in my desk at work. They are a convenient, on the go option for a decent amount of protein and relatively clean ingredients. Some flavors definitely taste better than others and the bars are relatively expensive. It took awhile for these to ship (this is a brand based in the UK) but they may have since figured out distribution issues to speed that up.
I'm always on the lookout for good gluten free snacks and this seemed like the perfect balance between 'nutrition' and 'flavour.' I ordered the variety pack to test the flavours and was pleasantly surprised with 5 of the 6. I had high hopes that the white chocolate cookies and cream would be a favourite but it was the most chalky in texture with not a whole lot of flavour. Love the chocolate banoffee and the chocolate brownie the most.
Feedback
There is an ever so slight chalky texture to the bars but it feels like the recipe is nearly there to make it a 100% delicious in taste and texture. Photography is a bit misleading as well as the layer of caramel is almost nonexistent on the bars I've had. It would also be nice if the variety box wasn't wrapped in plastic, felt a bit excessive and unsustainable.
Yummy, I love these as a high protein, healthy bar

Some of the flavours taste a bit like protein powder
