This isn't your classic protein bar that's all chocolate coated and is all chewy in your mouth. As the bar doesn't contain all the fillers that many other bars have, this bar is best described like a crunchy doughy and you probably need a glass of protein shake with it to help you wash the bar down. Some people don't like that type of texture but I'm actually ok with it. The bar contains lots of ground up almonds and nutty in taste. Its not overly sweet and is quite satisfying without getting the sugar high of some bars. Since the bar is wheat, gluten and dairy free, I didn't experience any adverse affects from it as I am lactose intolerant ie puffy eyes, running nose etc.

One advantage to the Purefit bars is that they don't melt in your bag, although it did take a mouthful or two to get over the fact that this was a protein bar without chocolate! I liked the taste and the texture; my husband and I both agreed it tasted like raw biscuit dough, got to be a plus. A drink would help it go down more easily and they reminded me of a type bar you would take on a ong bike ride as they wouldn't break up and it wouldn't matter if they got squashed in the back of your cycling gear. I would buy these bars to use as a snack.

Loved it! Stoked there's now a gluten free protein bar and will definately look to purchase these. Loved the taste and texture. It was creamy with crunchy bits in it, like cookies and cream. Very satisfying at 200 Cal and excellent protein value at 18g.

Thanks for the opportunity to try the new granola crunch purefit bar. I really enjoyed it, I thought it was not too sweet or chewy as some of the bars are. It left a pleasant taste in my mouth and I would definitely buy again.

Thoroughly enjoyed the bar. I have to admit tho, the first couple of bites took me by surprise (just used to other bars!) but I actually enjoyed it! It was very fulling - felt very satisfied and was looking forward to the next one. Great to see a tasty protein bar that is available to those that are gluten & lactose intolerent! Excellent!

The bar was quite nice, I had to divide it up into 3 to snack on with my mid-morning meal as I was a little paranoid of the sugars this far out from a comp. It has a good taste and not that taste you usually get from protein bars, probably a bit sweet for me however. It tastes like a nice muesli bar but with the added bonus of 18g of protein. Good for those people who are after a mid morning meal replacement and don't usually enjoy the taste of usual protein bars. I wasn't effected by the usual "sugar alcohol" bloat I often get as I don't think they use much of that stuff. Great bar for most.

The designer protein bar! They are sweetened with Algave Nectar, which is a natural low GI sweetener, this means they are won't spike your sugar levels like glucose and also don't contain artificial sweeteners. The ingredients are vegan and do not contain wheat, dairy or gluten which means no digestive disruptions! This flavour tastes yummy also, reminded me of cookie dough!

Finally.........................a chance to sit down with a coffee, some silence and time to savour the Purefit bar that has been rattling around in my bag waiting for this opportune moment!! Ummmmmm, have to say I'm a chocolate/sweet/gooey kinda bar snacker. I tried to REALLY like it but apart from the fact I could pretend I was eating uncooked home baking (yummmmm), I struggled a little with it. Certainly not unpleasant or artificial tasting as a lot of bars can be but not my kinda flavour!
