Honey Stinger Protein Bars - 20g - 12 Pack

Taste of these is nice, but I wish they made them without the chocolate coating though as they're already way sweet. Bits of honey stick around in your teeth for later too, kind of a bonus I guess.

I prefer the Clif Builders Bars (Lemon and Chocolate Mint!) in texture and taste, but these are more filling and higher in calories for that meal replacement scenario. The Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond is really nice, but I haven't had the others.

I first tried these bars after I got them in a race package....They were so good I almost ate the whole box in one evening....

Best tasting bar I have eaten so far.It's good to get a break from eating other brands.

the Dark Chocolate Coconut flavor is by far my favorite. Before trying Honey Stinger's protein bar I tried the Powerbar version--eating that was like being on Fear Factor, you shouldn't be wincing and grimacing when you're trying to load up on energy before a big day. Not so with the Honey Stinger bar, I ate one a bit before my last half marathon not only was it stable energy that didn't upset my system, it was not only NOT a chore to eat, but felt like eating a big tasty Mounds bar. At 20g of protein is a good chunk of what you need in a day, and that 230mg of potassium is super too. Eat these for big activities, or even as a replacement for breakfast. The "Bottom Line" is right on, the are the best tasting out there.

I wont argue these are better than a lot of those nasty protein bars out there but they are WAYYYY over hyped here and are far from great tasting. As a protein bar they do the trick and are palatable.
If you really want a delicious protein bar, get Clif Builders bars. Better than many candy bars and snack bars (chocolate mint is phenomenal). Wont be getting these again unless i cant grab a Clif.

These are the best tasting protein bars on the market. They don't have the grainy texture of other ones out there and they don't freeze badly in cold weather.

I've been a professional athlete since 1993 and have seen the evolution of the energy bar market. Have probably tried 20 or 30 different brands and 3 or 4 different flavors from each one. Basically, around 100 different bars. Even made several of my own. My search is over and the Honey Stinger Protein Bars have me hooked for life. Favorite is the Dark Choc. Cherry Almond. Heck, I even lick the inside of the wrapper. Now, if I could just break into the factory and steal their secret so I could make my own. Hmmmm....

My family really likes these protein bars. They taste pretty good and they fill you up for a good 4 hours. Can supplement lunchtime meal with these. My favorite is the dark chocolate coconut almond. The dark chocolate cherry almond was pretty good too. I'm looking forward to trying the peanut butter flavor.

These taste like a candy bar. There's lots of honey in them and they're sweet like a candy bar. They taste super sweet, but they're nothing like a cliff bar or power bar.

I found these of very questionable taste....tried 2 different types and they both tasted bad. Unable to finish either although the dog has no such compunctions and Hanked what was left of them right down. As noted by another, the Clif Builder bars are much better, as are the Balance, Zone Diet, and Promax bars as well: X10 at least.

I'd pass on these unless you could try one first.

I love these bars! I purchased the dark chocolate almond/cherry ones and they are delicious! They're the perfect snack after a workout or whenever you're hungry. Definitely try them out!

These are great bars! I had it for the first time a couple of weeks ago while on a ski trip. My brother and I both had the bar for lunch and didn't need to stop skiing for a break. They are pretty sweet, more like a candy bar, but they are packed with protein.

This bar wont break you teeth off when its cold out. Great taste, lots of punch for the weight, and they travel well. At -15 F you can bite through them without worry of injuring yourself. I used them while hunting on the Yukon river this winter, they were well received by my hunting buddies.

Totally agree with Mikeyboy...I've tried a ton of protein bars and none have the good stuff that the Honey Stinger bars have in them and taste good too. These really do taste like a candy bar you can feel good about eating and are great for any activity. I actually cut them in pieces for long bike rides.

It's almost hard to believe these are packed with 20g protein and still taste so great! Seriously, they're like a candy bar and don't have any chalky texture. Peanut butter and cherry chocolate almond are my favorite.

I have had all 3 flavors of the protein bars. All of them taste really good, not like a normal protein bar. These are perfect for a recovery snack or a meal replacement. My teammate Frank lies to eat them with his coffee every morning.

The perfect recovery product. Great mix of carbs/protein for post-workout recovery and pre-workout fueling. Cherry almond rocks. All natural energy source and organic ingredients are not only healthier than most other bars, but they also provide steady, consistent sugar levels. Use in combination w/ chews before and during long workouts and after every long or hard workout.

I just bought a box of the dark chocolate cherry almond flavor, and it's definitely the best protein bar I've ever tried. Nice to have something natural with that much protein in it. Awesome for a quick meal in the morning or after a long bike ride. can't wait to try the other flavors.

These are F'n good.

I love these bars, I get them whenever they go on sale at local camping supply stores. I was excited to get a 12 pack from backcountry.com; when they arrived, the packaging has a bit of wear on it (not the shipping box, but the thing cardboard box in which the bars are placed (like, at a retail checkout line area), but the bars themselves were in tact.Unfortunately, when I bit in to one, it tasted funky. I tried two more before chalking the shipment up to a loss, and tossing the pack. Oh well, I guess you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.EDIT: A few weeks ago, I received a package from a representative of this company. They sent a replacement box, and samples of their other products.The replacement tasted just like it should have!2 stars to 5

alrighty,

as a long time honey stinger lover, i have to say that the protein bars are the highlight of the lineup.

i use their gels and chews for food (while drinking nuun for my electrolytes) on long rides, but when things get really long, the protein bars are the bomb!

why? well, unlike some other protein bars that have the texture of sludge over rocks, these bars have a FANTASTIC taste. the whey protein is in a nougaty mix in the middle...like a 3 musketeers bar, but more awesome!

it tastes fantastic, goes down easy, and the real cherries, almonds, and coconuts make me feel like i'm eating a delectable confection, not a protein bar.

love them. love them long time.

These bars are great, they taste amazing and do not sit in your stomach like a brick as several other bars out there seem to feel like after you eat. I think the peanut butter bar is the best tasting protein bar out there.

I am sold on Honey Stinger protein bars for long rides. I ate a couple of bars during a recent 100 mile mtb race and they helped give me the energy to finish the race strong. They provided the calories I needed and I think the protein helped over that long of a race. They also taste great (dark chocolate coconut almond is my favorite) and are pretty easy to get down.

I am not a big fan of protein bars, but these are pretty tasty. Not too chalky.
They are covered in chocolate that can melt. But they remind me of a 3 Musketeers bar, just not so sweet.

highly recommend the Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond flavor

I wanted to eat these things for breakfast, lunch, and dinner

very tasty , will buy more

I love the cherry almond flavor. They get hard to eat after about half the bar. The taste is good but it is pretty dense. The chocolate coating is the best part though. If the bar was half as think they would be a lot better. They freeze pretty solid in the winter so keep them close to your body if your planning on biting into them so you don't brake your teeth. in the summer they turn in to a gooey melty mess.

Content-wise, a good bar. The peanut butter flavor is a little sweet - tastes a lot like a candy bar relative to other protein bars I've had. The chocolate coating is super soft, melts way too easily and even flakes off when you open the package. By the time I get to work after my swim, I've got specs of chocolate all over my shirt and pants.
