? Stale?

The bars have a stale taste to them.

darla mVerified Buyer

What you order is not what you get? missing bars

trish dVerified Buyer

OMG!!!

I love Barebells! However, this flavor is the best I've ever had? hands-down!!! This protein bar tastes identical to mounds bar, just with milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate. It does not taste like a protein bar at all. I promise!! It's like a straight up candy bar, which Barebells usually is like that, but this taste is, all the way, 100%, phenomenal!!!

rhonda sVerified Buyer

Best one yet !

no notes, amazing taste, put in fridge for an hour or so for peak enjoyment

Bare Belles Protein Bar Review

These protein bars are delicious. Almost too tasty. Like a candy bar. And after ordering them they arrived very quickly.

pamela nVerified Buyer

Best barebells flavor to date!!!

michelle lVerified Buyer

Great bar

The bar itself is amazing 5/5, however it arrived slightly melted?

ted bVerified Buyer

Great purchase!

These are delicious. I love Barebells this and chocolate dough are my two favorite chocolate flavors. Package came quickly and bars came fresh!

One of the best tasting Barebell's protein bar.

Barebells Lemon Cheesecake Protein Bar

This protein bar is too "lemony". It's understandable that it is lemon flavored but this is EXTREME. To the point that it gives me a stomachache. They need to tone it down. I have to drink water with it to help consume the bar.

minamiVerified Buyer

Best flavor

This flavor is the best! The bars are so soft and chewy and great tasting.

tiffanyVerified Buyer

Go to protein bar

This is my favorite flavor. Peanut butter is next followed by chocolate dough.

dariel cVerified Buyer

One of the best bars I have ever eaten

shanna tVerified Buyer

Lemon is just okay

Lemon Barebells are okay but not great. There is something off. The key key are much better!

karen gVerified Buyer

Slight adjustment needed

Not terrible, but the peanut butter-to-jelly ratio feels unbalanced. The peanut butter flavor is barely noticeable, while the jelly completely dominates. If they adjusted that, it would be much better. Still, it's a solid option for a protein bar overall.

meghan cVerified Buyer

Excellent service

gerrold gVerified Buyer

Great brand

Really love the flavor of these bars. Not overwhelmingly pb&j but still good. Would recommend. The other flavors are really good. I like how soft and chewy they are.

It is by far, the best flavor. I've tried others and I don't like them.

laura bVerified Buyer

Delicious probably my favorite

skyler kVerified Buyer

Delicious satisfying protein bars

The Caramel Cashew Bars are delicious. The texture has a bit of crunch from the cashews and smooth creamy dense consistency from the Caramel. There is absolutely no chalky, or sawdust mouth feel. I love them!

kim gVerified Buyer

otis pVerified Buyer

That's OK Bro - I'll Pass

Big Barebells fan, but these are very underwhelming. Raspberry flavor is sooo strong. No peanut butter flavor to speak of...it and the chocolate flavor are overwhelmed by the raspberry. Raspberry is an unusual jelly choice for PBJ in my experience. Will eat what I bought but never buy again.

dennis bVerified Buyer

zihan lVerified Buyer

Good flavor

requal wVerified Buyer

Not for me

It is WAY too sweet and the texture is weird (mushy once you bite into it). I LOVE Barebells, but not this flavor!

amy mVerified Buyer

Shipment never arrived, horrible customer service

I bought 5 different kinds of these bars, 6 boxes total. They never arrived and GNC refuses to reship or refund because the tracking info says it was delivered even though the delivery photo is the wrong house. So I spent almost $130 to never get my protein bars and after hours of talking with the customer support line for them to tell me I should deal with FedEx directly or file a police report. What a joke, never order from here again!

Pretty good

Tastes pretty good but I don't like that the crispy pieces on top scratch up the roof of my mouth.

jennifer sVerified Buyer

Great taste of chocolate, peanut butter, and jelly. Softest protein bar- In a good way. Unique flavor that combats the peanut butter and jelly craving. One of my favorites!

ryan dVerified Buyer

judith ellen lVerified Buyer

My New Favorite

This is my new favorite go-to bar! If you like coconut, give this flavor a try. It's subtle, ye present, and the caramel isn't overly heavy. It's a delicious combo that I will definitely buy again!

mindy mVerified Buyer

Something Different

These are not my most favorite flavor I've tried, thus far, but they are still good. I wanted to give something different a whirl in the meantime. If you like lemon flavored foods, you would like these. There isn't a whole lot of cheesecake flavor going on is all.

mindy mVerified Buyer

What a great protein bars.

These protein bars are an all around great deal. One of the best tasting bars on the market!Mark

Odd strawberry flavor

The concept is there, but the jelly had an odd flavor and the seeds were a turn off for sure.

brandi sVerified Buyer

Nice Flavor

It's tastes good, I only gave 4 stars because I prefer the chocolate flavor. But I was a 'fruity' person, I would have given it a 5! It was a nice experiment for me.

GNC quality control

I should have listened to the other reviews. One of the boxes came opened and missing a protein bar. Based on my past experience dealing with GNC support it's probably not worth it to be made whole again. For those curious, the last time I had a problem was only a month ago when I ordered two containers of protein powder and only one was in the box. GNC quality control is not good.

herbert sVerified Buyer

Very good taste just the right amount of chocolate and peanut butter. The texture is amazing and not too sweet. I would highly recommend!

tyson fVerified Buyer

Not buying again

Box was busted open and torn. It appeared like the box was literally pulled off the shelf and shipped to my residence. If I wanted that, I would have went into the store for that.

chelsey kVerified Buyer

Horrible online shipping,

Bars are OK, but shipment and customer service are not. I had bought some bars at the local GNC store and enjoyed them. The local store did not have a selection of flavors, so I decided to order four boxes online. What a mistake. When I received the boxes, each box was in a different condition. One was sealed in the cellophane wrap as a new unopened box. One was unopen but no wrap. One was partially open and the fourth was fully open and the box was falling apart. I counted the two open boxes,

chuckVerified Buyer

Tastes too Artificially Sweet

I eat barebells on a regular basis but am not a fan of this flavor. At first I thought it was just too sweet. I let my 12 year old have one and he even didn't like it. It's just an odd sweet flavor. Tastes too fake.

charles pVerified Buyer

If you love Lemon, tart and sweet, then this is perfect

I love the lemon flavor this gives. It makes me feel like I am eating a lemon tart dessert.

chevonne lVerified Buyer

tastes to artificial for me

These is my least favorite flavor so far. The peanut butter just tastes so artificial compared to the other protein bars they offer. It just doesn't give me the peanut butter flavor that I'm looking for

chevonne lVerified Buyer

Good flavor

Good flavor. I like the crunch. I don't think it takes like a "cookie dough" but is a good chocolate flavor.

chevonne lVerified Buyer

Amazing product!!!!!

I absolutely love the Barebells . I haven't had one that I don't like . The Chocolate Dough ones are my absolute favorite though. I have my coworkers buying them now . I just had your drinks for the first time , they are amazing as well .

cindi fVerified Buyer

Only order if you enjoy donating money, they ship boxes missing bars.

They taste great and give you a nice dose of protein. However, they ship boxes that are missing bars and do not respond when made aware. It sounds like they know it's a problem and don't care.
