IQBAR Brain and Body Plant Protein Bars - 7 Bar Sampler Pack - Gluten Free, High Fiber, Vegan Snacks - Low Sugar Meal ReplacementCompact by Design (Amazon-developed Certification)

As a frequent snacker always on the hunt for something healthy and satisfying, I was genuinely impressed by this variety pack of functional protein bars. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a product that includes Lion’s Mane mushroom in every flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it blends into the overall taste profile—no earthy aftertaste, just rich, clean ingredients with purpose.Here’s a breakdown of my experience with each flavor:🍫 Chocolate Sea Salt – Classic flavor with a fudge-like richness and just the right amount of sea salt to balance the sweetness. Great for a mid-afternoon craving.🥜 Peanut Butter Chip – Bold peanut flavor and a nice crunch from the crisps. This one tastes indulgent but keeps things clean with no weird aftertaste.🌰 Almond Butter Chip – Nutty and subtly sweet. This one felt more like a wholesome snack, not dessert, and pairs really well with coffee.🥥 Toasted Coconut Chip – If you like Mounds or coconut treats, this is your bar. Slightly chewy coconut texture gives it a tropical vibe.🍋 Lemon Blueberry – Refreshingly different. Real fruit flavor with just the right zing from the lemon. Not too sweet, which I appreciate.🍌 Banana Nut – Soft and warm flavor, like banana bread in bar form. The cinnamon here was a nice touch.🌿 Chocolate Mint Chip – If you’re a fan of Thin Mints, this one’s for you. Cooling mint with a cocoa base made it feel like a treat with benefits.What I loved:• Plant-based protein and no weird artificial sweeteners (stevia only)• Great for gut health with the added prebiotics• Lion’s Mane gives it an edge for focus and mental clarity (felt it during a long workday!)• Clean label, minimal ingredients, and allergen info clearly listedMinor cons:• Texture is on the chewy side (not as soft as baked-style bars)• Might be a little “earthy” for someone not used to functional snacks, but it grows on you quickly• The stevia is noticeable in some flavors more than othersOverall, I’m sold. These bars feel like a smarter snack choice—especially for someone like me who’s often on the go and needs fuel that’s functional, not just filler. I’d definitely repurchase and recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their snack game with something that supports both body and brain.

I have a very limited diet. Can't have gluten, corn, dairy, or artificial sweeteners like sucralose or erythritol. So finding things to eat, especially for a simple snack, can be quite challenging. These IQ Bars have been a Godsend! They taste great and don't upset my stomach like other protein bars. These have even worked well for me for a breakfast when I don't have time to make something and need a bite to eat on the go. I also tend to get tired of eating the same things repeatedly, but I have yet to tire of these IQ Bars after getting them via Subscribe & Save for over a year now. (Only problem with them is that I can't figure out how to get my teenage son to stay out of the box so that I don't run out before the next box arrives. 😉)

This review is for the sample pack. I loved the texture and the nutritional value (soft and fresh).Taste is of course, subjective. Happy to report that there was no artificial sweetener aftertaste or chalky taste which is a plus.I LOVED the Almond Butter Chip and would easily pick up a box of this flavorPeanut Butter cup was good.Chocolate Sea Salt, Mint Chocolate Chip and Toasted Coconut Chip were ok.DNF (Did not finish) Banana Nut.DNF and GAG ME award went to Lemon Blueberry.I've taste tested and tossed out a lot of protein bars and these (except the two DNF) are now my new go-to protein bars.

I really enjoy how these taste and love the idea of a flavor sampler. The coconut was my favorite one and I will probably be buying a pack of those next. They have a lot of protein for a snack bar and are a good size for a portable snack. They are vegan as well which is a plus. This sampler is a good pack to try out different flavors and decide if you want to get more.

I really enjoyed the selection. Each bar packs 12g of plant protein with just 1-2g of sugar, making it a smart and satisfying option for anyone on the go. The flavors like Chocolate Sea Salt, Peanut Butter Chip, Almond Butter Chip, and Blueberry were tasty without being overly sweet. I love that they’re not only delicious but also promote brain health with added nutrients. Perfect for a clean snack that keeps you full and focused

I was looking for a plant based snack and this might be my new go to. My favorite was the peanut butter chip and the chocolate. These don't have any extra sugar so that's a big benefit as well. I think the size is great for a snack without getting too full. I think the added ingredients for your brain is also a great idea since you cant even taste them.

I was looking for a protein bar that was low in sugar. Being someone who cannot consume sugar alcohols, I was very pleased to learn that these bars do not contain any, so they did not cause any stomach issues. Also, the flavor was very good for all varieties in this multi pack. The consistency was slightly soft and mildly chewy and I liked all the flavors. Great healthy snack option for me.

Buying the IQ bar sampler was a way for me to try out the flavors to see what I like. I found out I like them all!These bars are great to carry with you, have a good consistency and taste good! Very handy for when I am on the go, and a fast food pit stop is tempting me.
