OrgainOrgain Plant Protein Bar S'Mores 12-40 g

Sickly and sugary. More of a candy bar than a 'healthy' protein bar option. I'm not buying these again.

Like Indiana Jones, we (my biz partner and I) have been searching for the Holy Grail of nutrition bars for a lifetime (well, about 20 years).We're food and health coaches. We also invented a gizmo that has nothing to do with nutrition. But I digress.We've loved Orgain for years (the shakes). We even give health talks to college kids, and the good folks at Orgain have always supported these kids. We came to them simply asking for a discount years ago, as we don't take a fee for these talks and try to give these kids loads of awesome healthy stuff to take home and try along with the education to understand how to use them. They said 'whatever we needed, they had our backs.' Good company.The shakes are a proven winner, and were invented by Doctor Andrew Abraham, who had cancer, beat it, and it thriving. He was sickened by all the chemicals and preservatives laden in Ensure and other such "nutrition" drinks...so he created a balanced organic nutrition shake. And now, bars.We were skeptical when they went to bars. I first read the ingredients, and they looked so good, I thought...welp, these are gonna taste like barn paste.The balance of protein, carbs, and fat however was right in line with our philosophy, so that was cool.Made with all organic ingredients. Vegan. Soy free. Dairy free. Gluten free. Non GMO. Uses a sugar alcohol, erythritol, to help sweeten, which is the only fermented sugar alcohol, and is the only one that doesn't cause gastric distress like others.Add to that a lil' bit of sugar, and organic vegetable glycerin which also naturally sweetens without raising insulin levels. Sugar alcohol and fiber have no effect on insulin, and are not digested by the body. Therefore, you back out the fiber + erythritol to get your net carb number.Ok so blah blah blah. HOW DO THEY TASTE?I'll just come out with it. They are, to quote comedian Dave Chapelle, the SHNIZNITTLEBAMSNIPSNAPSALLY! (aka fantastic!) Every. Single. Flavor. And so filling, and the PERRRRFECT consistency. I know I know. This review sounds so fake, like the owner has dirt on us or something if we don't play ball. But let us assure you, this review is real. We ourselves sell our invention on Amazon and have NEVER paid for a review, nor given out product for the promise of a BS review. We absolutely can't stand that. And we can promise you this review is earned.As soon as we tried them, we bought 60 cases in mixed flavors, to hand out to our friends and clients. This is our MO anytime we discover something new and great. The reviews have been outstanding. S'mores seems to so far be the crowd favorite, but we have heard not a single negative review for any flavor. Some like the peanut butter the best as it's less sweet, some the cookie dough, and some the peanut butter chocolate chunk.We're telling you folks, we've tried every single bar on the market. Well, that may be a bit of a brash statement...we're sure plenty haven't necessarily crossed our radar...but we seek this stuff out. These Orgain bars are the perfect size, perfect calorie count, and great first thing in morning, for in between snacks...and for kids (and adult kids!) to take to school. You also don't need to refrigerate them. They aren't candy bars mind you, but boy are they good and totally satisfy your hunger and sweet tooth.And Orgain ain't perfect. Look I don't care for their strawberry shakes at all...yet my niece loves them so much she makes popsicles with them...go figure. But one thing we love about this company is the integrity of the people behind it, which is infused into every single product they make. We may not like all their offerings, but doesn't take away from how well they are made.But listen, I'm tellin' ya...GET THESE BARS. You can't go wrong with any flavor. Love them all. And if you don't like them guess what? Amazon has free returns! So take advantage and give them a shot. We're so excited about these things. Bet it's hard to tell huh? ;-)

I just ate one of these 5 minutes ago. I do like the ingredients and the nutrition. I also like the Orgain shakes, so wanted to try their bars. I was surprised that these are not up to the overall quality of the shakes.Right away the flavor is a huge disappointment. They taste nothing like S'Mores, so using that as a tag line is a deceptive marketing gimmick. What they taste like is every other average, barely-edible protein bar out there. They are soft and chewy, and sweet without having any distinctive flavor. And they have a chalky consistency and a slightly bitter aftertaste.I am usually very forgiving with taste and consistency of these types of products, but they really need to do better here. These are not as awful tasting as NoCow bars, but they are also not nearly as good as Aloha bars, 22 Days, or Square Organics bars. Consistency-wise, they are similar to Raw Rev Glo bars, not exactly a good thing.I will finish the box because I think the ingredients are good and I need the nutrition. But I will look for something else after this.

I managed to buy these on sale from Amazon and I would order them again if there is another sale. I took off a star because the price is kinda high for my wallet. I usually use these bars at the health club after a weight workout. I'm vegan so it is important to me to have an all plant based product. I especially like that they are organic. They taste good and they are a lot easier than toting around a protein shake! Remember to drink a lot of water with these bars because they have a lot of fiber and that will gum you up if you don't drink water with them!

I think I finally found my bars. I'm not a fan of actual s'mores but some people said it didn't taste like them and these were the least expensive option so I went for it. Nope… Doesn't takes like s'mores… the flavor is kind of a cross between an oatmeal cookie and a blonde brownie. Hard to describe but if you don't expect it to taste like s'mores, then you'd probably enjoy it. I found it a bit too sweet for me but my favorite "sweet" isa chunk of 85%c chocolate so I don't go for very sweet things in the first place. Nonetheless I liked it and it really filled me up-- I was surprised how quickly I felt full. But no gross heavy feeling in the belly like with whey protein bars or super oily like other plant based bars I've tried. Really like the nutritional profile for healthy dieting too. I think its a real winner.
