Barebells Protein Bars Birthday Cake - 12 Count, 1.9oz Bars - Protein Snacks with 20g of High Protein - Protein Bar with 1g of Total Sugars - On The Go Protein Snack & Breakfast Bars..

It tastes pretty good, I guess. I suppose I was expecting it to taste like a candy bar because of all the 5 star reviews on here basically saying it does. It tastes like a protein bar, lol. What I feel the best about is knowing that it has 20g of protein.

I enjoyed it, however some of the birthday pieces were incredibly hard which ruined it for me. If you get ones that are soft it’s a 10/10 bar but unfortunately mine were hard even straight out of the package.

Before you decide to seek another protein bar, just be aware that the CHOCOLATE DOUGH and cookies and cream are delicious. Emphasis on the first, on purpose. But. The birthday cake. I'm not sure if I got a bad batch or they were stored poorly prior to arrival, but my goodness. I took one bite and immediately wretched. They taste like spoiled milk. A milk pint left in the back seat of a car in August for weeks. Terrible. I got these because I was out of the ones I usually get and like, and have these as on the go work snacks. The other flavors were two weeks out and I generally like birthday cake flavors. I WISH I WOULD HAVE JUST WAITED. Because now I have to anyway. Just wait if there isn't a two day option for a different flavor. The reason the birthday cake ones are readily available is because they are horrendous and most likely no one gets them twice. Stick to chocolate dough or cookies and cream. Those will make you so, so happy and satisfied. The birthday cake ones will make you wish you had burned off all of your taste buds prior to consumption.

Must important points: 1. Don't get the birthday cake flavor!!! 2. Most other flavors are good 3. Best overall tasting and texture low sugar protein bar options. I've tried most of the barebell flavors, cookies & caramel, cookies & cream, crispy cream, peanut butter, wild cherry, etc. The only ones that aren't great are the birthday cake ones. They have hard sprinkles mixed into the bars and are much harder in texture than any other flavor. Crispy cream and cookies and caramel are my favorites. These basically taste like candy bars.

All flavors of Barbell Protein bars are great. This one however, is just okay. I did not like the colored “confetti” pieces; they are hard to chew and don’t have any protein, so it could do without it. As far as the flavor goes, this is the only birthday cake flavored food that didn’t actually taste like cake. Seems like an easy flavor to replicate, but Barbell’s flavor missed the mark :/. I will go back to the original flavors.
