Anyone who has tried using meal replacement bars can understand why I was somewhat skeptical to try yet another brand. Most bars either taste like cardboard (or something worse) or seem to actually make you hungrier after you eat them. Despite my unpleasant past with meal replacement bars, I decided... review »

Gritty and sandy texture ruin this protein bar for me.

I am generally a fan of protein bars because they taste like a candy bar, but have the fiber and protein of a healthier food. They are also handy for taking on the run.

I am not happy with the Special K Protein Meal Replacement Bar, however. The chocolate lover in me was excited to try them, but was...

I tried the Special K Strawberry Protein Meal Replacement Bar, and I absolutely LOVED it.  It has such a powerful strawberry taste, without making your mouth cringe.  It's something that I would definitly eat over and over again. 

What's great is this one bar has 10 grams of protein, and only 180 calories (for the strawberry flavor).  If you don't have time to get lunch, this is perfect to pack in your purse, or backpack, and eat on the go.  A much better alternative to buying a bag of chips, or a candy bar out of the vending much- better alternative referring to better for you.

I'm very glad... review »

I Love these Special K Protein Bars.  They really have helped in my weight loss.  I take a appetite suppressant too but with these bars I have TOTALLY cut out lunch.  I still watch what I eat and try to keep my calories under the 1200 mark.  But I am a CHOCO lover BIG time and these help to keep that craving in check, not to mention make me feel full clear through until supper time. 

I like the Chocolate Peanut Butter the best.  The chocolate is very good and the bar is always chewy and wonderful.  I DID get one box of these that where as hard as a rock, but I think that had something to...

My husband and I just started a new healthy living food and exercise style.  I always ate Snickers protein bars, because I couldn't stand the taste of others, too gritty.  I know these have more sugars in them, but are better than eating other snacks and we eat them as a midmorning snack to tide over till lunch.  I have only tried the chocolately chip ones, but I think they are pretty good.  I always rate a protein bar on how fast I have to run for water to get the sand taste out of my mouth! I didn't have to run :) - but I always drink a bottle of water along with my protein bar, helps to... review »

I just started getting into the whole meal replacement bars. Ive tried Slim Fast, Kashi, and Luna Bars. All tasted wonderful, and all were in the calorie range that I was looking for. I really wanted to try the Special K Protein Bars for a long time now. Why Ive waited so long? Who knows. But I finally bought a box. My aunt tried the peanut butter ones, and she really liked it, so I was tempted to try the peanut butter ones (and because I was really craving a Reese's peanut butter cup, and I know those are way more fattening!) So I had one, and it was amazing! WOW! I seriously thought I was eating...

I loved the Special K Meal Replacement Protein Bars (Peanut Butter Chocolate)! They tasted really good to me (a crunchy, peanut butter version of some of my favorite candy)! The 15 grams of sugar is a bit higher than I would like, but it totally fufills my sweet tooth, preventing me from eating a lot of worse things.

They are dense, so I eat them slowly with a glass of water (to help out with the fiber as well). These keep me going for a few hours - perhaps not all the way from lunch to dinner, but at 180 calories, it's a good snack on the go, especially after a workout at the gym.

I tried the...

I started on the Special K diet in the beginning of December. I must say, it worked well for me. It taught me how to eat healthy foods and how to limit myself. I usually ate them for dinner, and I would still pack a lunch to school. Recently I started taking the bars to lunch with applesauce (or another fruit) and veggies. I realized by the time it was 2:30 (lunch is 11:30) I was starving! I think I am going to try yogurt instead. The Chocolate Peanut Butter bars are my favorite, but they are expensive and my health/gym teacher told me they are full of sugar, and that yogurt or something else would... review »

I've tried different protein bars and this one tastes really good! Kind of like eating a candy bar, you can't go wrong there. I've had the double chocolate and they are 10g of protein and 5g of fiber. They really fill you up and I am not normally satisfied with a bar. Try them!
