Pure Protein Lemon Cake Protein Bars, 1.76 oz, 6 Count, 2 Pack

I often eat the lemon protein bars made by another Company. But they are rather expensive so I bought these as a substitute. I figured I would try them out. They were terrible. Artificial flavor and weird texture. Also they gave me terrible pains in my stomach. Maybe that’s just me but something about them didn’t agree with me. And I usually have a pretty strong stomach. Definitely won’t be buying it again

I love lemon flavored things, which is why I purchased these, along with other varieties of Pure Protein bars. These are by far the worst. The outer faux-white-chocolate is fine (its the same as the other bars. The inner consists of a lemon cake (which wasn't bad, but not great) along with a white layer of tasteless-ish material which (I am guessing) is supposed to approximate nougat. The whole effect makes me feel like I am eating Play-Doh. I can't say for sure that it "tastes" like Play-Doh--as I'm not willing to eat the childhood staple--but I can't imagine it would taste any worse than this portion of the bar. I paid for them, so I am choking them down, but I will certainly not buy them again.As an aside, the other bars I bought were much better (Strawberry & Blueberry) as these were missing this mystery layer of foulness. The dark chocolate coconut was the best.

I would not eat these bars since they looked like they were contaminated in some way.

I love lemon bars, lemon cake, lemon meringue pie... but I don't like the extra sugar associated with these desserts. These protein bars have 20 grams of protein per bar and just 2 grams of sugar. (see the nutritional pic below)As for the taste, I say they taste good but not great. The lemon taste is subtle and the bar is not sickening sweet like I find a lot of these protein bars. The texture of the bar is a little off being a little too chewy with no crispness. And after each bite I get a little hint of a chalky or chemical aftertaste, but not bad.Overall I like the nutritional mix of these bars and the lemon flavor is a welcome change from all the chocolate and peanut-butter bars out there. If you like lemon flavor I'd say give these a try but temper your taste expectations.

These protein bars were gross. I thought they would be chewy like the other flavors, but they were more like biting into lemon sand. They also have a horrible after taste. I threw them out.

I bought these as a meal supplement, as I live in a nursing facility and don't always like the meals. I keep extra protein on hand always. These bars are good, but I've had Luna bars that I like better. In fact, I think the Luna bars in lemon flavor taste better, but these are larger and more filling. I would recommend these and will buy them again, especially if they go on sale.

Been a loyal fan of Pure Protein Bars for many years. None better for taste, specs and price. Chocolate deluxe and caramel flavor bars reliable, go-to bars. Thought it time to try the lemon cake flavor. My advice - avoid the lemon cake flavor bars: chalky consistency, strange/unpleasant almost chemical taste, very crumbly/fall apart texture. Definitely not the level of quality I expected of a Pure Protein Bar product.

Chalk! Kinda-sorta “lemon” a 1 out of 10 as far as the actual flavor of “lemon”... more like someone waved a lemon over them after they are produced. They are completely unenjoyable, dry and chalky textured. More like a punishment than a food to be enjoyed. I could go outside and eat a spoonful of dirt and get more flavor, just not sure where the kitties go to the bathroom! The coconut chocolate flavor on the other hand IS actually good. I suggest the creators of these things do more extended taste tests before experimenting on us actual humans with money.
