Legendary Foods 20 gr Protein Pastry, Low Carb Tasty Protein Bar Alternative, Keto Friendly, No Sugar Added, High Protein Breakfast Snacks, Gluten Free Keto Food - Red Velvet (8-Pack)

Update 3/29/23: the company reached out to me and offered to send me another flavor free of charge. I went with strawberry and I actually like it a lot, it seems to have less of an artificial sweetener flavor to me! I also found a variety pack on a different website and am looking forward to trying more. I updated to 5 stars because of the customer service, I’m very happy I was able to find a flavor I like!Original review: I wanted so desperately to like these! I was diagnosed with celiac about 5 years ago and have been dying for a real icing-covered pop tart. I tempered my expectations understanding that this is a “health food”, aimed for low carb/high protein, so I knew it wouldn’t be like a real pop tart. At first I was pleasantly surprised, I actually really like the texture, way better than a traditional protein bar. But the flavor wasn’t, great. I could kind of taste the blueberries, but after about half the pastry all I could taste was the erithrytol (sp?)/sucralose. I’d like to try another flavor, but the box is pretty expensive, and if you don’t like it you now have seven more of them. I think the company would do well to offer a variety pack so you could try out a few flavors, but as it stands I’m hesitant to buy a whole box to just try another flavor.TLDR, if you’re used to/don’t mind the flavor of sugar replacers I’d say give it a try, the texture really is nice and very soft. But ultimately all I could really taste was artificial sweetener :(

While this is for the hot fudge ones, I have tried the blueberry, chocolate, cinnamon and strawberry too.I don't know how I missed out on these as a protein 'bar'. They are amazingly good. Blueberry and hot fudge are the best. Cinnamon next then strawberry then chocolate.The pastry is thick, but the mouth feel and taste are like a pie crust. Yes, they are not actual pie or poptart, I do not like poptarts - but it's like eating a really really good poptart. For protein and lower carb, these are my absolute favorite. I recommend you go to a local store if they have them and try them first to see before getting a box, but they are more expensive in the store. I always have them cold.If you are wondering between these and the brand's pastry rolls - these are better. Well over the rolls.5 stars - just the most excellent protein treat I've ever had.

These are disgusting. I don't know what is worse, the weird strong medicinal taste or the dry and crumbly yet somehow also moist texture. They smell like chemicals. I'm not someone who has to have everything fresh and organic. I'm not talking about preservatives. The smell reminds me of walking into an art studio with the smell of paints/brush cleaners etc.There is almost no filling in these. There is nothing remotely close to the what is shown in the photo. I don't really care about the sprinkles, but they show them covered in sprinkles in the photo and mine has just a few sad lonely little sprinkles. and i checked the wrapper to see if maybe they came loose in transit. empty. But maybe there was a sprinkle shortage or something. I didn't lose hope.I told myself some things smell terrible but taste good... like boiled eggs. Sure they smell like farts, but they taste delicious. So I took my first bite. Out of the corner like the pros on the package did. It was awful. really really awful. Have you ever taken a scoop of whey protein powder and ground up some advil in it and then just poured it all in your mouth dry? I imagine it tastes like one of these.I'm an eternal optimist though. When I see the pile of poo... I look for the pony. So I told myself.. Okay... just get to the filling and it will get better. WHAT FILLING?? There is this tiny thin line of filling that is barely present. I decided to dissect the thing so i could scrape out some filing and taste that and see how it was. It was a weird combo of slimy and gritty.I did something I don't usually do. I just trusted the 4 star ranking of this product and purchased it without reading some of the best and worst reviews (what I usually do). The reason for that is I'd purchased Legendary toaster pastries in the past. They were Strawberry and had a texture very similar to actual pop tarts and they tasted pretty good. They were pricey too (like these) but were great for an occasional treat or just something different. The pastry itself was less cakey (in a good way). The new version of this is really cakey but not in a good way at all.I'm super bummed to see a company that had a great product ditch it in favor of this. I'm hopeful that maybe I got a bad/contaminated batch or something. As another reviewer said, I don't even feel comfortable giving these away because they are that gross.
