MET-Rx Big 100 Colossal Protein Bars, Great as Healthy Meal Replacement, Snack, and Help Support Energy, Peanut Butter Pretzel, With Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Zinc, 100 g, (Pack of 9)

How is this marketed as a healthy meal?

I gave the MET-Rx bars a chance and after eating about half of one I had to stop. The bars were incredibly sweet and after checking the label I noticed there was 28G of sugar PER BAR! The title of the bars say "healthy meal replacement" but in no instance would I consider eating a bar with lots of preservatives and 28G of sugar a "healthy" meal

UPDATE!!

These taste great- BUT, they have E150 food coloring which is known to be potentially carcinogenic & also excess Sodium phosphate which can lead to an increase of cardiovascular disease, negatively effect the kidneys, etc. so I wishhh I could give this a 10/10 but it's more like a 6/10 after finding out it's dangerous for your body. So if they could remove those 2 Hazardous additives it would be 10/10 … sad bc I was about to subscribe to bi weekly packages :( SO SO SO disappointedâ€

NOT Healthy

I will never buy these again. The flavor is fine. The protein content is great. The sugar content, including high fructose corn syrup, is outrageous and not one bit healthy at 28 grams per bar. Daily sugar intake should not exceed 24 grams. What is this company trying to do create diabetics? What with the sugar replacements available today there is no excuse for this type of unhealthy "meal replacement". I should have read the label far more carefully. I was focused on protein and took their word for "Healthy", which is a lie. I threw the rest of the box out and am going elsewhere for something which provides protein and NOT a sugar overdoes. Shame on this company

The most chemically-processed food I've ever tried

The worst protein bar I've had in my entire life. It's so sweet and tasteless. Why on earth people who consume such a so called food made in a chemistry laboratory. It's loaded with sugar, molasses, corn fructose syrup, high FCS and countless of other chemicals hard to pronounce. I figured a banana or an apple is much cheaper and much more healthier and will never have a bite of this junk. And we have to pay to be poisoned. I was looking forward to it but am certainly very disappointed

Better than the Cookie Crunch!!!

I'm not normally a huge peanut butter fan, but oh my god, this is AMAZING. The pretzel helps it from tasting too sweet, like the Cookie Crunch one can, and the peanut butter masks any of that "protein flavor" (people who have tried a lot of protein bars know what I mean lol). I've seen people complaining that it has a lot of sugar in a full bar and yes, it does. However, it is COMPLETELY doable if you balance your macros correctly throughout the day and get your other protein sources through real food, like meat or legumes. The flavor is so good and most times I don't even find myself needing a full bar for a quick meal, so I can sometimes stretch a bar across two days, which makes for an even better value. I'm absolutely going to repurchase this flavor in the future and I can't wait to try more of their flavors

I lost 45 lbs on these

Combined with exercise and removing as much sugar from my diet as possible, I've recently lost 45 lbs using these. I've substituted one to two meals a day with these bars and it made a huge difference. They taste better and are far more filling (not to mention less expensive) than Atkins bars. I recommend the peanut butter ones the most because they seem to hold off the cravings the longest

Best shipping job ever!

Have always like these bars for a quick breakfast. However, my last order was mindblowing. I opened the box and found plastic wrapped foam(?), continuing my unpacking I discovered two pieces of the plastic wrapped foam forming a chest of sorts, with two ice packs within, along with our bars. I was gobsmacked. I have received these crammed in with a 24 pack of water or other heavy items, crushed to unrecognizable, and now delivered intact and cool!! Amazing, great job, great product ðŸ˜

Empty sealed packages

There are 9 bars in a box. Two of the bars in my box were just empty. They were sealed with air in them but there was no bar inside. Just an empty sealed airtight packaged. Unacceptable. The taste was ok. Very artificial flavor tasting but not bad. See my video I posted for demo of the empty package

Good choice!

First of all, these bars are big! Seem to be at least twice the size of other protein bars that I have used. Secondly, they are really quite tasty! A pleasant surprise, since most high protein bars are quite disgusting. They are crunchy and flavorful. I will, definitely be buying again

Great Taste

My 16 year old son is trying to gain weight. Usually he is very picky about how things taste. So I was skeptical because protein bars are never the most tasty treat. However, after reading the reviews I decided to give these a try and he loves them! Great snack for him after the gym
