IQBAR Keto Protein Bars, Chocolate Lovers 12-Ct

As a frequent snacker always on the hunt for something healthy and satisfying, I was genuinely impressed by this variety pack of functional protein bars. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a product that includes Lion’s Mane mushroom in every flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it blends into the overall taste profile—no earthy aftertaste, just rich, clean ingredients with purpose. Here’s a breakdown of my experience with each flavor: 🍫 Chocolate Sea Salt – Classic flavor with a fudge-like richness and just the right amount of sea salt to balance the sweetness. Great for a mid-afternoon craving. 🥜 Peanut Butter Chip – Bold peanut flavor and a nice crunch from the crisps. This one tastes indulgent but keeps things clean with no weird aftertaste. 🌰 Almond Butter Chip – Nutty and subtly sweet. This one felt more like a wholesome snack, not dessert, and pairs really well with coffee. 🥥 Toasted Coconut Chip – If you like Mounds or coconut treats, this is your bar. Slightly chewy coconut texture gives it a tropical vibe. 🍋 Lemon Blueberry – Refreshingly different. Real fruit flavor with just the right zing from the lemon. Not too sweet, which I appreciate. 🍌 Banana Nut – Soft and warm flavor, like banana bread in bar form. The cinnamon here was a nice touch. 🌿 Chocolate Mint Chip – If you’re a fan of Thin Mints, this one’s for you. Cooling mint with a cocoa base made it feel like a treat with benefits. What I loved: • Plant-based protein and no weird artificial sweeteners (stevia only) • Great for gut health with the added prebiotics • Lion’s Mane gives it an edge for focus and mental clarity (felt it during a long workday!) • Clean label, minimal ingredients, and allergen info clearly listed Minor cons: • Texture is on the chewy side (not as soft as baked-style bars) • Might be a little “earthy” for someone not used to functional snacks, but it grows on you quickly • The stevia is noticeable in some flavors more than others Overall, I’m sold. These bars feel like a smarter snack choice—especially for someone like me who’s often on the go and needs fuel that’s functional, not just filler. I’d definitely repurchase and recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their snack game with something that supports both body and brain.
