Health Warrior Pumpkin Seed Bars, Dark Chocolate, 12 Bars

I recently tried the chocolate flavor and it was ok, but not spectacular, so this time I decided to give the cinnamon spice flavor a whirl. I just happened to receive them today when I was hungry and in need of a snack, STAT, so I immediately opened them up and gave them a taste test, along with my 3-year old assistant taste tester. Oh my goodness, let me tell you, these are the best snack bars I have had in a long time, if not ever! If you are a fan of cinnamon or "pumpkin spice" flavored things or chai, these are for you. The cinnamon is very, very prominent in these bars and they also have ginger and allspice in them, so they have lots of flavor and a little bit of kick, but not so much that my 3-year old didn't keep asking for more bites. The pumpkin seeds really compliment the spice combination used here and the sweetness is not overwhelming, although I do feel it could be a touch less sweet and still be yummy. The ingredient list on these is short and every ingredient is recognizable, which I like. Even though I just got a box today, I'm already ordering another box of this flavor because I don't want to run out.

Having tried both the cinnamon and the dark chocolate flavors of these bars, I love them both, though personally slightly prefer the chocolate. The nutrient profile is good (170 calories/7g sugar/8g protein) plus packed with magnesium and other nutrients since the bars are just pumpkin seeds plus honey and spices. The texture is pretty soft and chewy, which I prefer to some of the brick-like bars out there. Image attached of the ingredient/nutrient lists for each of the 3 flavors below (source for the images is Health Warrior's website). I will warn that the cinnamon bar has a pretty strong cinnamon/all-spice flavor, so if you're neutral or not big on cinnamon, you might want to go with a different flavor. Definitely recommended!

I bought these to throw in my purse for a treat while out on a long road trip with the family. I am vegan, so was looking for things that would be good for both snacks, or even tiny meals in the event we got caught somewhere that didn't really have things for me. I LOVE THESE little bars. They are definitely more of a snack than a meal, but they are SO tasty. Very sweet tasting, but I love sweet. I will say, however, if you are going to eat one,have some water near by. Every time I eat one they make my mouth so dry I have to instantly chug a giant glass of water.

These Health Warrior Protein Bars work well for me. I wanted something to tide me over when I was running late for lunch or on the road and between meals, but feeling a little tired, ore hungry. For some reason the protein in the pumpkin seeds works really well for me - satisfying my hunger until I get where I'm going or to the next meal. They do that without a lot of sugar. I have a strong reaction to anything too sugary and I have not had that problem with these bars. Love the flavor, love the way my body responds to them. I keep them on hand all the time.!

Bought these for my college daughter to ensure she had healthy snacks... well when she came back for the summer so did these bars. I took them to work for a snack and after the 3rd day, I was done with the flavor and texture. They don't taste bad, I liked that they were filling and healthy but they were just a little to rich for me. Maybe if you take these on a long trip or hike but I won't buy again for more frequent snacking.

These bars are very delicious, highly nutritious too. My Daughter takes these to work with her every day. They taste like heaven. Sweet and crunchy with just a little bit of salt. They give her enough energy to keep going and she won't snack on anything else. I love them too but I eat them for any occasion. The pumpkin seeds and chocolate are the best! We keep them in our fridge because we live in a warm climate. They stay fresher longer this way.

Very light, and flavorful! I was already a huge fan of the Health Warrior Chia bars (eat 1 or 2 every day), so I was super excited to give these a try - I was not disappointed! If you've ever had the chewy granola bars you see in the cereal bar section of the grocery stores, they have a texture that reminds me of those. But, they have light fluffy pull apart quality of those krispy rice cereal bars. I wasn't super sure of the pumpkin seed, but wow, with the dark chocolate, it's a perfect mixture. I can't wait to find the other flavors of these bars and give those try.

We bought the product because it looked so healthy. Two people in the house tried it out. Many of the seeds were rancid and there was a taste of mildew. One person was sick after eating for 3 days, and the other for one night. We called the manufacturer to discover where they got their ingredients. They refused to say. The woman said the ingredients come from many different countries. She said repeatedly she could not give the info of where the ingredients were from. We asked her to check with someone who could. After waiting a long time she came back and said they didn't have the information but if we'd like to give her some personal information and a phone number, someone might contact us. We asked when that would be. She said "maybe within 6 weeks if they have the information." We declined to give our personal info and decided to write this review instead so others won't be affected similarly.
