Health Warrior Pumpkin Seed Bars, Variety Pack, 12 Bars

We bought the product because it looked so healthy. Two people in the house tried it out. Many of the seeds were rancid and there was a taste of mildew. One person was sick after eating for 3 days, and the other for one night. We called the manufacturer to discover where they got their ingredients. They refused to say. The woman said the ingredients come from many different countries. She said repeatedly she could not give the info of where the ingredients were from. We asked her to check with someone who could. After waiting a long time she came back and said they didn't have the information but if we'd like to give her some personal information and a phone number, someone might contact us. We asked when that would be. She said "maybe within 6 weeks if they have the information." We declined to give our personal info and decided to write this review instead so others won't be affected similarly.

Wanted to give these a try so I ordered the variety pack and loved all 3 flavors. I love pumpkin seeds and the ingredients used so they tasted good in my opinion. Word of caution though, not just about these but any food product you buy off amazon, check the expiration date ALWAYS! The box I just received expired August 7th 2019.. 6 months ago!!! I've had this happen with other food items in the past and have called to complain about this multiple times. I was hoping they would get better about checking and properly rotating food product, but apparently they haven't. The product gets a 5 star review because of how much I love them but amazon gets a 0 star review because they haven't figured out how to stop sending out expired product.

I received the box of protein bars and was excited to taste them. On my first bite I tasted a nasty rancid taste. I spit it out and gaged. It was so disgusting. I highly recommend that this product should be taken off this web site.And Now I can’t find the return for this box of rancid bars. So I’m out of my money.

Having tried both the cinnamon and the dark chocolate flavors of these bars, I love them both, though personally slightly prefer the chocolate. The nutrient profile is good (170 calories/7g sugar/8g protein) plus packed with magnesium and other nutrients since the bars are just pumpkin seeds plus honey and spices. The texture is pretty soft and chewy, which I prefer to some of the brick-like bars out there. Image attached of the ingredient/nutrient lists for each of the 3 flavors below (source for the images is Health Warrior's website). I will warn that the cinnamon bar has a pretty strong cinnamon/all-spice flavor, so if you're neutral or not big on cinnamon, you might want to go with a different flavor. Definitely recommended!

I recently tried the chocolate flavor and it was ok, but not spectacular, so this time I decided to give the cinnamon spice flavor a whirl. I just happened to receive them today when I was hungry and in need of a snack, STAT, so I immediately opened them up and gave them a taste test, along with my 3-year old assistant taste tester. Oh my goodness, let me tell you, these are the best snack bars I have had in a long time, if not ever! If you are a fan of cinnamon or "pumpkin spice" flavored things or chai, these are for you. The cinnamon is very, very prominent in these bars and they also have ginger and allspice in them, so they have lots of flavor and a little bit of kick, but not so much that my 3-year old didn't keep asking for more bites. The pumpkin seeds really compliment the spice combination used here and the sweetness is not overwhelming, although I do feel it could be a touch less sweet and still be yummy. The ingredient list on these is short and every ingredient is recognizable, which I like. Even though I just got a box today, I'm already ordering another box of this flavor because I don't want to run out.

I bought these bars because of their high nutrition and low sugar content. I had read they’re one of the top three healthiest protein bars on the market. I admit they have an unpleasant texture (from ground pumpkin seeds) and they lack flavor. But once I got over that, I personally benefited from the nutrition and I consumed much less sugar than I had been with my usual protein bars. I lost eight pounds in three weeks when I ate one Health Warrior per day without making other changes to my diet or exercise routine. I’ll buy them again for that reason only.

Love these! I bought them for a friend, but now I'll have to order more for my friend, since I tried one and decided I really like them.They arrived quickly and are a great value.

Can't bear these bars. I have food allergies, and it's hard to find things I can eat in a hurry. These taste amazing, and my son who also has sensitivities can eat them too. I tried them once for a test and have been buying ever since! Seeds are very helpful right now during these cosmic energies. (They cause us to need extra magnesium) and seeds are excellent for that.
