Rise Whey Protein Bars - Honey Cinnamon | Breakfast Bar & Protein Snack 18g Protein 4g Fiber Just 5 Whole Food Ingredients Gluten-Free Soy Free

After my Kind protein bars were not being so kind to my digestive system I did an AI search looking for a protein bar that had at least 12 g of protein, no seed oils, no soy, and no artificial ingredients or fillers. I bought two boxes of three different bars from Amazon to select the best for me. RXBar has 12g of protein, 200 calories, and is very clean, but it sticks to the teeth and melts easily. The chocolate sea salt has a good taste, and I will probably keep some on hand just for a change of pace. I got two sample boxes of Atlas, which has a solid 20g of protein and only 1g of sugar with 210 cal. Flavors are all good, but the bars themselves are greasy, one in particular I ended up eating with a fork. There’s also a few more ingredients than I would prefer. I’ll eat the bars that I have, but I won’t buy them again. My favorite by far is Rise and the honey cinnamon and almond honey are both excellent tasting with a nice chunky consistency that is fairly dry out of the package. I find them very satisfying and durable when carried in a backpack or car. Calories are a little higher, but it comes from a protein source (almonds) and with the lowest sodium (40mg), just 3 or 5 ingredients, and 18g of protein - I have my new go to bar!

I was a fan of David protein bars till I looked into some of their ingredients. Then I heard about the lawsuit against them for false nutrition claims. Moved over to Rise and won’t look back. All natural ingredients that are easily pronounced and familiar.

Excellent product. Natural ingredients and flavorful. I just reordered mybsecond box. I purchased the honey cinnamon and love the product!

Like that the whey is 100% ISO making it easier on those with lactose sensitivity. Grainy texture, but good flavor. Simple nut/cinnamon/honey flavor without excessive sweetness like some bars.

I first tried these bars at Costco and loved them – they were delicious and chewy, almost like nougat. However, the ones I received today were completely different. They were hard and dry, making them tough to bite through. While they weren’t expired, something about this batch seemed off. I don’t plan to order them through Amazon again, but I might consider purchasing directly from the company.

The bars seem to be quite healthy and I ate them, but the taste left something to be desired.

Delicious protein bars. Great consistency and easy to digest.

I swear I'm not especially picky and I'll admit, I probably experiment and purchase far more "protein" bars than would be considered normal. I'm shocked that these have maintained a 4 star rating. I saw texture referenced a few times and that's putting it mildly. It's like chewing on a ball of wax. It's kinda bizarre that these made it out of testing. I've shared them with everyone I know and it's a consensus, wax, wax, waxy. Flavor is pretty good but nowhere near good enough to compensate for what, if blind folded, would be indistinguishable from good 'ol wax. If you like wax and you like chewing a lot, you've found your bar!
