Verb Energy bars are enjoyed by many for their versatile use as a caffeine alternative or as an afternoon pick-me-up. The bars are appreciated for their convenient size and variety of flavors, although some find them a bit pricey. Many users have noticed an improvement in the bars' recipe, leading to an enhanced taste. However, some customers feel that the bars do not provide a significant energy boost and the taste of some flavors is less favored.

I enjoy the Verb bars and have introduced them to a number of people as an alternate caffeine product for people who don't like coffee/tea. They are a nice snack to have as an afternoon pick-me-up or to serve as your primary caffeine to start the day. They are convenient to grab, although if you are a caffeine "ritual" person, you do miss out on that experience. I've tried most of the flavors and have enjoyed them. They are somewhat pricier than I would prefer which is my only complaint.

I received a variety pack as a sampler and was excited for an energy bar that both offered both caffeine and protein. The consistency before the reformulation was good, but not all that different than other bars on the market. They are small, but offer a good deal of energy. Overall, they are good but not overwhelmingly special. I look forward to trying the new version - perhaps it'll prove me wrong!

Tried these when they first came out and I wasn't a huge fan - they had a bitter taste but they've definitely changed the recipe for the better. Love these now, perfect afternoon pick me up.

Perfect for a convenient, afternoon pick me up!

I have tried the chocolate chip banana bread, chocolate sea salt, and peanut butter crunch which are sold at Kroger stores ( King Soopers and City Markets).  They are all pretty yummy and satisfying! The bars themselves are smaller leave me wanting a little more sometimes but the caffeine helps and I love that it’s sourced from organic green tea! I do note that the protein is low in these bars and the carbs slightly high.  They are sold individually at those stores usually like $1.99 a bar, if not on sales - which can be as low as $1 a bar. 

I don't believe there was any significant energy boost when I ate these. I much rather drink coffee.

I like these bars because they give a decent amount of energy per single bar. I wasn't a fan of the taste or texture of the banana bread flavor, but the peanut butter cup one is amazing. It tastes like I'm eating candy. I want to try more flavors.

The bar I tried, Chocolate Sea Salt, was absolutely adequate. It tasted okay (could have used a bit more salt for my taste), and it did give me a bit of extra energy (the caffeine is from green tea). That having been said, it's not something I would go out of my way to try. With so many similar bars and products on the market, I don't see these being any better than what's already out there.
