- CICOBAR by HTLT | Soft & Delicious Protein Bars | 20g of Plant-Based Protein and only 230 Calories per Serving | High-Protein Snacks for Adults | 12-Pack, (Milky Crisp)

The Chocolate and Peanut Butter-Chocolate taste great and have great ingredients. The chocolate coating has some unhealthy oil in it (unfortunately), but that's true of most protein bars. Good protein and fiber content. Overall my favorite bar. However, out of the 4 Protein bars that I like, these are the most expensive and they are hard to chew (I don't mind it, but some may). Also, I do not recommend the Raspberry Cheesecake flavor - tastes awful IMHO.

These arrived almost expired (expiry date is August 2026, I’m writing this in February 2026-). Texture is very bad. Difficult to chew. Taste is decent. For the price, it’s not worth it. I would return these if I could, but they’re not eligible for return. Idk if maybe they’d be better from the actual company website, but Amazon ones are not good. Will not recommend or repurchase.

So I was skeptical at first, given some of the reviews on this product, but finally decided to give them a try. I have to say, I didn't find these hard to eat at all. They are chewy but really delicious in my opinion (I tend to like chewy as opposed to crunchy). After giving these a try, I immediately ordered a second box since there was only one more left in stock. They have less fat and less sugar than my old bar, and they taste better, so I'm very happy with Cico. I bought the milky crisp flavor. I haven't tried any of the others yet. I hope HTLT restocks these.

Wanted to try these because i like gregs content and most his supplements are grade A. This was a miss for me though. The taste is not bad. The problem i have with this bar is super chewy and thick, my jaw got a workout chewing this thing. The texture was like hardened sweetened bread with a coat of chocolate. Even microwaving it for a few seconds couldn't save how difficult it is to eat. Its not very sweet, doesn't taste much like a candy bar or a Reese cup, the taste overall is very mild. These bars are super expensive, the issue with that is you can get the salty peanut barebells protein bar for the same price or less, it'll taste better, be more sweet, taste more like a reese peanute butter cup and be a hell of a lot easier to eat. Sorry greg, but this was a one and done for me.

The bar is very dense and hard, I couldn’t even bite into it. I finally broke off pieces to chew, which took me a long time. I wanted something quick to eat after the gym, this was not it. The flavor was okay, but I wouldn’t purchase again.

Delicious and great quality source of protein

I’ve been buying these bars for a while directly from the Cicobar site. When I saw these on Amazon, I figured I would save money on shipping and order from Amazon. I was disappointed when I tasted them. The taste difference is noticeable. The product I received from Amazon was totally stale, even though the date was current. I don’t know how they are stored, but I’m going to go back to buying from the Cicobar site.

Do not compare to anabar, but a solid bar a little hard to chew but I like it. Way better than most bars only feed bad would wish calories and protein matched up perfect.
