Vive Natural Protein Snack Bar

These are oh-so delicious! And a great way to satiate any chocolate cravings, while enjoying something that is comparably low in sugar. So far, I have only tried one flavour - the mocha. I should like to explore the others in the range (perhaps a variety pack is the best way to go?!), but when you try something that is so utterly delicious, there is the temptation to do a repeat order... It might be worth mentioning, however, if you're not a fan of dark chocolate, these bars are probably not for you, due to the high content of cocoa solids. But for those of us who enjoy our brownies with a healthy dose of flavonoids: Eat up, I say.

I have the Variety Pack on repeat order because these are the best protein snack-bars I have found. Thankfully, they contain no malitol, sucralose, or such like, which almost every other manufacturer seems to include.

A little higher in calories (237 kcal for a 50gr bar), but very tasty and filling. Nice as a treat, or to pop in your bag for when you're out and about. For peanut allergy sufferers it is important to note that besides hazelnut this bar also contains a small percentage of peanuts.

Great lil snack for getting me through mornings at work, taste amazing

I'd you want a vegan alternative with protien in for a quick snack, this is the snack to get. There are 5 different flavours all in which contain around the same amount of protien. Good if you're on the run or on a tight schedule! The downside is the taste of SOME of the bars and considering the price of it, It should be thought about well.

I daren't have them on repeat order as I’d eat too many.

I've tried the mixed box - protein, brownies and double choc and like them all.

This is the second box of protein bars I've ordered and luv them

They are tasty and filling. I've never really been known to eat half a bar of chocolate before , but half of one of these I find is enough.

Not cheap, but well worth it.

I previously gave this 4 stars; it's deffo the best tasting protein bar I've ever had.

But unfortunately it made me and my family sick!!

Originally only I was eating them and it gave me diarrhoea & IBS flare ups.

I was very disappointed but put it down to being sensitive to the chicory root as I already can't eat many things (gluten, milk, meat, corn, lentils).

So just put it down to my annoying stomach.

However I then gave my protein bars to my parents…

My mum also got an upset stomach and my dad threw up!! No idea what's going on!! Maybe they’re tainted? But my dad stomach is super tough and he barely ever gets any sort of food sickness/allergy.

Very disappointing and slightly concerning?

Previous review:

I've been through my fair share of protein bar brands in an attempt to find one that's actually decent. These are amazing!!! Not too dry or too gooey, and don't have that weird aftertaste you get with most vegan protein bars.

However… they’re so difficult to open. I had to use scissors to open mine. I’m sure the chronic illness/disabled community has a lot of crossover with the protein bar market, so this is really disappointing.

In conclusion: please don't change the recipe (unless you make a different type of bar with more protein content) and please CHANGE THE PACKAGING :)

Expensive for what is a small bar with only 10gm of protein. But a nice change and great for the golf bag!
