I purchased the toasted coconut and the fruit lovers pack that has wild blueberry, banana nut , and lemon blueberry. The first one I tried was the banana nut and it tastes just like a little banana nut loaf; not too dry and had a nice texture. The toasted coconut taste very nice. It has a nice coconut flavor . They all have the flavors that they advertise. Some people complain that the flavors are not intense enough, but in my opinion, people complain too much. These bars are very nice tasting. I’ve eaten all kinds of protein, keto bars and I have to say these are probably the best ones I’ve had . They all have the flavors that they advertise .These bars are very nice tasting. I’ve eaten all kinds of protein, keto bars, a bit of an officiate on those things as I am in that particular field as a career. As for price, they are about two dollars a bar so not everybody will see that as a value but if you’re looking for something that’s going to aid you in weight loss and can carry around for a quick pick me up then these are very good. I bought the first box and they were not on sale, but the second box was about six dollars off. I definitely will purchase them in a bit more of a bulk when they’re on sale. It wasn’t too sure how they would taste, but now that I have tried I will not eat anything else. Once again I give kudos to the clean ingredients and the flavors not overpowering but subtle. You can taste what you’re supposed to taste in terms of the packaging. Interestingly enough, I read many reviews on one of the things people mentioned in the banana nut. It was the banana taste wasn’t really there. That’s not true. But the best thing to do is try them for yourself not everybody’s going to like them. Everybody expects them to taste like a candy bar well guess what? That’s not really what they are their nutritionally sound with healthy ingredients and they taste good. That’s the most important thing.

I appreciate that these are NOT too sweet. Just right! Like having them in the morning instead of early breakfast. I tried macha and lemon – both are very nice. The lemon one is nice and refreshing. I love it.

IQ bars are a good sourse of protien. They taste great.

These bars taste great, however, each time I would have one bar in one sitting I would end up being constipated. For that reason, I will not repurchase.

**Updated Review -9/29/2021-**
I’m finally submitting an updated review. I was sent a sample variety box from the Co-Founder. I was hesitant about these bars at 1st but gradually tried each. Indeed they did make changes. I gotta say, great improvements. The flavors are much better than before and have more of a moist, yet not oily, oatmeal/soft-like texture. Normally I like my bars cold but these are very good at room temperature. I went ahead and tried a bit of the remaining ones. I’ll go through each favor.
1) Matcha Chai: I didn’t even know they had this flavor. It’s a new one to me. The matcha flavor is there and on point. It’s a flavor I’m not used to but it might grow on me. I definitely like the ingredients this one has.
2) Blueberry Lemon: Far better, strong blueberry and lemon flavor with blueberry bits.
3) Blueberry: This had a deeper blueberry flavor, a better improvement. Good bits of blueberry.
4) Banana Nut: Definitely better, the banana nut hits the taste buds quickly.
5) Almond Butter Chip: I’m an almond and peanut butter lover and this one is quite good. May end up one of my favs. I did taste the almond butter quite well and the chocolate chips taste good.
6) Peanut Butter Chip: A solid improvement. The peanut butter flavor hit me a bit later than the almond butter. Not really a bad note, the peanut butter flavor is there. Peanut butter chocolate tends to be my favorite flavor so this may end up on the top for me.
7) Chocolate Seasalt: Although I’m normally not a fan of flavored bars with sea salt. this is far better than before. Good chocolate flavor and sea salt is there.
On another note, I like their branding. The box shows what the bar actually looks like versus other brands showing some indulging treat of what it suppose to taste like. They even show videos of breaking apart the bars.
And there you have it. Nice improvements IQ Bars. I can see these now as a good alternative choice for me.
**Original**
I’ve tried many different types of protein bars, starting from whey and switching to plant protein. I’ve seen recent reviews mentioning these bars taste better due to a new/better formula but these are very bland in flavor. I’m at the close point of giving this a 2 star.
I give protein bars a good try and see how my tastebuds adjust to them. My tastebuds normally adjust well to new brands I try. The problem is these bars fail in the 1st impression in flavor. Even at a health standpoint, it shouldn’t compromise flavor. I bought both variety packs, the chocolate and fruit lovers. Both so far are very bland and I just plan to choke these down so I don’t waste the money but also to give these a full complete try. Maybe I got a bad batch but then that’s also a problem. If IQBAR has really improved their bars, needs to be consistency across the board. Everyone is different, you may or may not like these. I wanted to try all the flavors but so far none are my favorite. I get health and nutrition, but not cutting corners.
So here is my overall:
Price: 3 – Avg/Fair – Price is around average imo compared to most plant protein bars but I’ve had better.
Taste: 1.5 – Very bland – 1.5 – These bars may be the blandest bars I’ve had yet or at least in 2nd place which is a shame because also included in the box is a little sheet saying “we improved our bars”.
Texture: 3 – Semi Dry/soft – I’m fine with the texture. It has somewhat of a semi-moist granola texture.
Ingredients: 4 – The main reason I decided to try, the ingredients look good overall. They look like a good alternative choice.
Packaging: 5 – Packaging was great. Clean box design, no reckless handling, and bars in good shape.
If you plan to try, I recommend one of the variety packs and hope you enjoy them. Unfortunately, these are leaning to a no-go for me. Maybe in the future that will change.

fantastic snack option for anyone looking for a brain-boosting, plant-based protein bar. They are a great choice for low-carb and keto-friendly diets. The bars contain brain-healthy ingredients like Lion’s Mane and Omega-3s and come in a variety of flavors. The texture is soft, and they’re filling enough to keep you energized between meals. Perfect for busy days or a quick post-workout snack.

Most days, for breakfast and lunch, I live on protein bars. Texture, taste, and nutrition are my three criteria, and it’s surprisingly challenging to find a protein bar that balances an adequate amount of protein without inflammatory ingredients like seed oils, gluten, and excessive sugar. Then there’s the essential factor of taste for obvious reasons and texture—not too chalky like many high-protein bars and not grossly chewy. I discovered IQBAR in 2019, which hit all the criteria with remarkable texture, a variety of great flavors, and sound nutrition. Beyond the core criteria, IQBAR offers some notable bonuses such as being a low-carb bar while also being the only protein bar I know of that includes these 6 brain-nutrient cognitive enhancers, proven to boost cognition and alertness (Omega-3, MCT, Lion’s mane, flavonoids, Vitamin-E, and choline). Highly recommend!!
