FAST BRANDS Variety Pack, 20 Gram Protein Bars (Pack of 6)

I gained 40lbs since the pandemic began and I’ve been trying to recomp (lose weight & gain muscle) for the past year, so I’ve been trying to find a bar that can satisfy my sweet tooth without going overboard on calories and ruining my macros. I’ve tried just about every protein bar out there in store and online from ONE to Kirkland to Quest to Robert Irvine’s to Alani Nu to MetRX to Barbells to Luna to Lara to Kind to goMacros to NoCOW to Gatorade bars and everything in between. This bar is IT! The most comparable bar in texture and taste to this would be the Barbell’s Bar brand. I really enjoyed these bars even a bit more than the Barbells ! Mine were delivered to my house in Southern CA during the heatwave so they were pretty melted, but I was expecting that (it’s been 100+ degrees here for the past few weeks). I got the variety pack and I love both flavors! I tried the chocolate salted peanut flavor right out of the wrapper and put the remainder straight into the fridge! I’ve since tried both flavors and I like the cookies and cream the best! Surprisingly I like the Salted Chocolate Peanut better melted than from the fridge! However, it tastes good both ways, but melted really allows you to taste the chocolatey flavor better! The cookies and cream tastes amazing cold from the fridge. It tastes like a literal Hershey’s cookies and cream bar I had to double check the sugar content it’s THAT good ! Overall, I love the flavor profiles and I am shocked at how good these bars are! I’m so happy I took a chance on a new brand as these are actually my dream protein bars! Soft and chewy, but not too chewy. Sweet, but not too sweet. And the price is really good compared to many competition brands! 10/10 for both flavors I’ve already re-ordered!

I just received my bars and I was surprised that they arrived a month past the expiration date. I'm not complaining, since they are good tasting. But, why did they arrive expired?

A European friend of mine recommended these bars, as I guess they are popular in Sweden. It looks like they just began selling in the US, so I figured I'd give them a shot.For perspective, there are 20+ different protein bars I've tried over the years just from searching my ordering history on Amazon. Some high sugar and carbs ones taste pretty good, but I usually try to stick to low sugar options. Thus, I've tried all the big ones (Quest, One, FitCrunch, Pure Protein, etc). They all pale in comparison to these Fast bars.They have a crisp outer texture and a soft interior, much like a candy bar. The taste is phenomenal. Cannot recommend these bars enough for someone looking for a higher protein, lower sugar option that doesn't feel and taste like a concrete brick!

I was willing to try something new as the price seemed reasonable. When I first bit into the chocolate caramel bar the texture was spot-on. However as the flavor then hit my mouth I was extremely disappointed. These Bars tasted nothing like peanuts caramel or chocolate. I don't even know what the taste was. I've ate plenty of protein bars and eat mostly keto and I can't even identify what this taste was so it's not that I'm not familiar with protein bars and sugar alcohols. I will be returning these!

The bars are a good concept. I like that they have 20 g of protein. However, the taste is not good. It is edible but not desired. The price is comparable with other protein bars. The caramel is a little better than cookies and cream to me. The opposite for my daughter who is 17. They still are not that good. We eat them if we are starving and trying to avoid fast food.

I think these are really good. The nutrition seems good for a protein bar, and I like the texture and flavor. I think I was most impressed by the fact that even after sitting on my porch in the Texas sun for a few hours, they didn't melt! Any bar that can do that gets a 5/5 in my book, since it means I don't have to deal with a goopy mess.

Just got my bars today (04/24/22) and they expired yesterday…I opened one to split with my husband to try it and the inside of the bar melted to one side so the other side was hollow. They have a nasty old protein smell and taste, we couldn’t even finish the bar. We love Celsius drinks but they should stick to those 😬

As far as macros and prices go, I still prefer the Kirkland protein bars (slightly less calories and fat, slightly more protein, almost half the cost)But the taste and texture these have are objectively better. If someone handed me one of these without the packaging, I'd assume it was just a new kind of chocolate bar. My only hope is that they come out with a few new flavors to try out.
