They were better before! (1.0)

I used to love these bars so I ordered them on here so I could have a big supply (without realizing it was a new formula)... only to later realize that now it has sugar in it (it used to be sugar free) and the amount of protein was reduced! So not only am I getting less protein but I'm getting a whole lot more sugar! ugh! so disappointed. I only had two bars before I realized this so now I a box of bars just sitting there.

Delicious! (5.0)

This is an excellent product. I thought it would have that "after" taste that you often get in meal replacement bars or nutrition bars but wow - what a flavor! I truly love them.

Perfect meal! (5.0)

I absolutely love these South Beach Meal Replacement Bars. I eat them every morning for breakfast on my way to work. The are so moist, yet not mushy. They satisfy my hunger for something crunchy and something sweet. They have no sugar in them, so they fit the bill perfectly for breakfast or for any meal-on-the-go. I can no longer find them in my grocery store nor in my health food store. I was very sad that they had been discontinued and was so excited to find that I could order my month's supply online at Amazon.com. They come automatically and I do not have to worry if either of my local stores have them in stock. It is a perfectly yummy treat for those watching their calories, for those who want something that tastes sweet, and for those watching their sugar intake! I love, love, love them!!! KATY in Phoenix

Southbeach meal replacement bars (1.0)

The bars were not the ones pictured. They were suppose to be the 19 grams Protein 0 sugar and were different 12 Protein and had sugar.

Over Priced and you only get 1 Box of 12 Bars (1.0)

This product is misrepresented as a 12-pack of boxes. It only contains one box of twelve bars (unlike the other south beach bar packs). Therefore, these bars are much cheaper at the local grocer so don't waste your money.

Stay Away from STRAWBERRY cheesecake! (1.0)

THIS REVIEW IS 4 STRAWBERRY cheesecake! NOT PEANUT BUTTER. I am big on protein bars. They are fast and convenient. Not being too keen on chocolate and peanut butter I prefer the few alternative flavors around, which is not many. I usually go for a plain vanilla yogurt one but thought I would try these as they seemed to be a good brand. Unfortunately, my first choice was strawberry cheesecake flavor. I can put up with some flavor discrepancies but the strawberry is just plain gross. It has a terrible after taste that hits you about 10 seconds after each bite. I have to choke them down with milk just to get through the bar. I do not recommend it at all. I would most likely pass on the blueberry as well.

yummy protein bars (5.0)

These are delicious. I have one for breakfast each day - while on my commute - then I finish it at the office. Much cheaper on line.

Good in theory, but ... (3.0)

This was great for me cause I am running around all day and tend to forget to eat, so keeping a bar in my purse was the plan. But, they contain gelatin!!! :( YUCK. So I gave them away.

Excellent Meal Replacement (5.0)

These bars are terrific as a meal as well as a protein supplement. I drink a large glass of water with them and I'm full. No guilt about having a chocolate desert, cus its good for you. I love 'em.

Sport Nutrition Pure Protien Bars (4.0)

Very tasty, fulfilling & great for exercise/workout minded individuals! Nice nutritive snack in between meals & on the run...just what one needs to satisfy that naughty 'fast-food' urge too!

Best tasting bar ever!!! (5.0)

I have tried many types of nutritional bar but Pro Bar Nutty Banana Boom has to be the best tasting bar I have ever eaten. They fill you up with about 370 calories, offer great nutrition so you don't crave that junk food, and tastes so good. I like the part where the dark chocolate chip morsels mixes with the coconut strip creating an amazing amount of flavor in your mouth. They are the most expensive bars but if you opt for Amazon's subscribe and save option, it makes it a bit cheaper.

Overall, these are the best tasting bars which I use on the tennis courts so I can play all day and eat for lunch when I am strapped for time.

whole grains & tastes great (5.0)

These bars are loaded with whole grains & fruit with mostly organic ingredients. They taste great & will keep you going until the next meal.

Carob chips instead of peanut butter (5.0)

Love all the Probars, but this one is great because it does not contain peanut butter. Thought the blueberry taste would be overpowering, but it is not. The big surprise here are the carob chips, very yummy. This is my favorite Probar!

Great Product, With Okay Flavor! (3.0)

Alright, I LOVE Probars because they are healthy meal replacements. I've enjoyed the big, bold fruit flavors of the Whole Berry Blast, the Nutty Banana Boom, & the Cran-Lemon Twister, so expected more flavor from this bar... But the flavor didn't live up to expectation. It was just so-so in the flavor department.

Very tasty health bar (5.0)

I love these bars but not all the flavors though. The berry blast is one of my most favorite along with the original art's bar, the cran-lemon I really don't like. I can't wait to taste the nutty banana. They are very fulfilling and healthy, kind of on the expensive side but it almost substitutes a meal for me, so it is not so bad.

Deceptive Advertising (1.0)

Excellent Bar if you are looking for lots of Sugar...the Amazon product information lists the following as the ingrediants: "Metamyosyn V100 Protein Blend, Corn Syrup, Brown Rice Syrup, Coated Chocolate Chips ..." however the package lists "Corn Syrup" as the first ingrediant.

The bar has the same sugar content as a can of soda or a dessert (which might be ok if it actually tasted good). The irony is that it would actually taste a lot better if it wasn't sooooo sweet...

A good-tasting, high energy bar (5.0)

We have been eating Met-Rx meal replacement bars for several years. They taste good, give a real energy boost and we don't get hungry again for 3 to 4 hours - great for hiking.

Great, if you like eating pure sugar. (1.0)

This baffles me. They call it a "meal replacement" bar, but there's enough sugar in these to make a big wedding cake. This isn't a meal replacment bar. It's an appetizer with 50 table spoons of sugar. So you get a little protein and enough sugar to ruin any health benefits.

Not bad (4.0)

Although they do not taste as good as Cliff Bars, considering the amount of Protein in it, it tastes pretty good. The Chocolate Chip Cookie dough is very good. I am not able to make the Met RX drinks, so the bars come in handy.

Meal Replacement, In a Bar (5.0)

I've tried a lot of supplements and snacks to try to replace a meal... this is the best bet.

I'm a student on a budget. I worked out that if I buy these it's about $2 a meal. That's if I don't buy a drink or something else with it. That's 1- 2 bars for a day of classes, $4 bucks a day, c'mon, that's A HUGE SAVINGS, even over cheapo fast food, and these are nutritious. Eat a good home meal (learn to cook guys, I did, saves money and tastes great, and it's good for impressing the ladies) at least once a day, and you're set.

The benefit of these is that they actually fill you up, not just with fiber as some brands that claim meal replacement do. Some meal replacement things are nutritionally lacking, they fill your belly but you're technically starving cause your deficient in nutrients. These are very well made and nutritionally sound, especially for younger folks like me who need more protein in their diets, if you're older this is still good, but you generally need less protein in your diet.

The taste is great too, a little sweet with some of their flavors, but overall not overpoweringly so like some brands. My favorite is the cookie dough one, it goes down the easiest too, feels like it digests the easiest as well.

Enjoy, this is a smart purchase.

Great Breakfast Bar (5.0)

I typically eat these bars every morning for breakfast. Most protein bars taste "fake" and super processed, but the Apple bars have a more natural taste to them. I highly recommend them.

random but tasteeee combo.... (5.0)

Great tasting meal replacement bar. I've consumed A LOT of protein bars and typically I'm over the flavor by the end of the box but the pretzel is a nice addition to the bar. Three boxes deeeep, and still love'em!

good quality but not the best price (4.0)

I stumbled across MetRx bars at Super WalMart with a cheaper price. I didn't figure in the tax versus shipping numbers. I am an Amazon Prime member so I don't routinely check shipping costs. However, at WalMart I was not required to buy an entire box of one flavor - and multiple flavors are available. I'll stick with WalMart.

Extreme Flatulence and Allergic Reaction (2.0)

Updated Review & Precautionary Note:

After taking the product for a few more weeks after the initial review I began flatulating quite a bit (i.e. to the tune of eating a dozen bean burritoes a day) and broke out in mild hives and have since edited my review. I found that was a normal result of the fact the product contained sorbitol as a sweetener. It was labelled "alcohol sugars" on the label and not sorbitol. Sorbitol is known to cause flatulence, explosive diarrhea and other problems in some people e.g. me. I would recommend avoiding this product until this ingredient is removed.

Original Review:

I used to try power bars and meal replacement bars every so often. Honestly, I don't like most of them - and the few ones I liked (e.g. Payday Pro) never had more than 15g of protein.

I tend to stick mainly with Designer Whey Protein Chocolate 4.4 lbs. by NEXT Proteins to supplement my protein intake and up until now have never found a bar that had enough protein and clean calories to be a decent meal replacement.

Muscle Milk Orange Creme 2.48 lbs was something I used to use for meal replacement (with 1% milk). Tasted good, plenty of calories (300+200 milk), plenty of protein (32g+16g milk). Still, it ain't food (it's always nice to chew on something when you're hungry) and I was always a little uncomfortable with the amount of fat (12g+5g milk)in it.

Ditto, my other favorite workout lunchtime food - Friendship 1% cottage cheese w/pineapple. It's good for you (48g protein, 4g fat, 480 calories) and doesn't taste bad, but after a few months of dieting, I absolutely hate the stuff. It has to be the blandest food on earth. You get sick of it and have to mix it up a bit. Plus, the sodium (1040mg) isn't really something to have every day, though a few times a week isn't bad.

I broke down and tried this Met-Rx Big 100 bar recently after a recommendation from a friend of mine who's an amateur bodybuilder (and an absolute monster). Wow, they taste pretty much like a Nutrageous candy bar. Pretty good if you like that sort of thing. It tastes like real peanut butter and real chocolate, not artifical flavors. No chalky aftertaste (that always annoyed me with PowerBars). It's much bigger than your average bar, which I like since it gives you something to chew on, but some people might not.

More impressive after tasting it was when I read the back and found out that there's a reason they're filling - they're 410 calories with 31g of protein. 43g of carbs, 13g fat (7 saturated). To boot, it even has some vitamins.

The next day, I went out and bought a box (12-ct) for $18.99 at Vitaminshopppe. I've been loving them ever since. I plan on trying the other flavors too.

Recommended as a meal replacement if not allergic to sorbitol. If you are, which seems to be a real lot of people, avoid. If they replace sorbitol with something that doesn't result in me feeling like I just ate a dozen burritoes, I'd increase my score.

a lump of sugar with a little protein (1.0)

This baffles me. They call it a "meal replacement" bar, but there's enough sugar in these to make a big wedding cake. This isn't a meal replacment bar. It's an appetizer with 50 table spoons of sugar. So you get a little protein and enough sugar to ruin any health benefits.

I used to buy this item at the local drugstore,but they discontinued it.My thanks to Amazon!It's a great morning snack-just the right amount of peanut
and chocolate and good protein too.I will purchase this item again.

Tasty Flavor (5.0)

I've been trying the different metrx protein bar flavors and this one was among the best. It's packed with protein but also has a good deal of sugar, but still more of the first than the second. Tasty meal replacement.

Be reasonable as these are protein and not junk food! (5.0)

Have one with a glass of milk. Like big thick Oreos. It is protein and not junk food.

Nice filling, Well Rounded, Great Tasting (5.0)

This protein bar is meant as a meal replacement and it works well. It packs 410 calories and a lot (fast and slow) acting protein that does the job when replacing a meal. I use these when I'm on the go and don't have time to cook a nice healthy meal ahead of time. The flavor never gets old to me. Sometimes I forget its a protein bar it tastes so good.
