PhD PhD Smart Plant Bar-High Protein Low Sugar Bar, Choc Toffee Popcorn, 12 Bars

First time having a 'plant' protein bar. The taste is distinctive but not unpleasant. The first couple of bites I noticed the different texture and taste compared to a 'milk' protein bar. Overanoncebi finished the bar I quite like it. Overall I prefer 'milk' based protein bars, but if you're vegan these are great!

I eat lots of different protein bars on my low carb diet, Quest are my favourite, but thought of trying something different. The Choc Toffee Popcorn is vegan, great idea, but tasted horrible with a just as horrible texture and after taste. I can't really put it into words, but they are disgusting with some very hard bits that could crack one of my fillings so the rest are going into the food bank bin. Wish I bought a single bar from somewhere first instead of two boxes!

I love the PhD range and have used many of them in the past. I am a big fan of these Smart protein bars. Unfortunately, for me, this flavour is the weakest one of the range I have had. My personal preference is the chocolate brownie. I just did not enjoy the texture of bits of popcorn. I will stick with PhD but not this flavour.

Tastes great, super useful if you're out and about, and its nice to find a vegan protein bar with such a high protein to calorie ratio. Would recommend.

I got this flavour so my daughter would enjoy them as well after the gym but here’s my views.. Pros Doesn’t taste sweet Gluten free Vegan Good size Quick high protein snack after the gym Cons Tastes very dry, sticks to mouth Lacks of flavour Need to drink a lot when eating Felt a bit sick after eating a whole bar Not sure if this genuinely is low carb - depends if the 14g fibre is soluble or not. Been advised to go by net carbs which would mean these just wouldn’t work on a low carb / Keto lifestyle. Wanted to have with a coffee every morning but might manage half. It would stop be grabbing a biscuit but overall I’m not a fan

I want to give these ONE star..... But I must give 2 because the Protein blast you get from them is good. They are very dry and I found that sometimes I bit into very VERY hard bits. I genuinely couldnt recommend on taste. But if they were the last bars on the shelf and you need Protein, then they are OK.

I'm always sceptical with protein bars because a lot of them taste like cardboard / s**t. PhD have pretty much nailed it though with the Choc Toffee Popcorn flavour. You still know it's a protein bar but it's actually one I look forward to eating! It's filling and tastes very nice.

I have tried different flavours and they are perfectly edible with the exception of the popcorn one, which is really, really bad. There are large, unchewable fragments of popcorn on which you could easily damage your teeth and gums (see the attached picture which has an entire unpopped kernel). This is not an isolated problem in a couple of bars, and you get loads like this throughout the packet. How on earth did this product make it through quality control? Again, the other flavours are fine but if you value your teeth, do not buy this one.

Never in my life have I been so bloated and gassy from a protein bar. My god I look about 8 months pregnant and have LOUD gas after eating these bars. I tried to finish the box but one week in and they started giving me intense stomach cramps on top of the bloat and gas. Taste is pretty bland and dry but I don’t think the taste is as bad as some other reviewers have stated. However, will not be repurchasing because my stomach cannot handle the chicory root, which I might add is the first ingredient on the choc toffee popcorn flavor. 2 stars for the amount of protein in them, because it’s not easy to find high protein vegan bars.
