David High Protein Bars - 0g of Sugar, Low Carb, Gluten Free - 28g of Protein, 150 Calories - On-The-Go Snack - Blueberry Pie Flavor, Pack of 12

They were not what I was expecting, but they were pretty good. I got the blueberry flavor and it was quite tasty. I purchased these because of the high protein content yet low sugar and carbs, and I was not disappointed. The texture is airy and light, and there are little crispies throughout that are sort of a bonus. The bar is large and makes you feel satisfied.

This is a review for the David protein bars in blueberry. Taste is amazing! Finally, a protein bar that isn’t chocolate!! A lightly sweet, slightly salty blueberry taste. I’ve had their peanut butter flavor and it too is amazing. Soft, fresh, wonderful texture. I will be adding these to my care packs for cancer patients and I am VERY picky about what I buy for them. I too have cancer, and understand the struggle to eat healthy. These David bars really help me get enough protein in.

One of the best protein bars around. I particularly like the "blueberry pie." It doesn't taste like pie or blueberries, but it has a good sort of fruit flavor and is filling. The calorie, sugar, and protein numbers are very very good. These are expensive in the supermarkets (about $4.49 each) but buying a box of them from Amazon did reduce the price a bit.

the cake ones are very good blueberry pretty good- they are the chewy kind of protein bars but they are not aggressively chewy

Excellent nutritional profile, and they taste good. Relatively low in calories. I am pleased.

The previous formula was a reasonably clean protein bar that I could find (still not completely clean), and I thought they were delicious, but now they’ve just changed the recipe and added maltitol, sucralose, and Acesulfame potassium (Ace-K), all of which are ingredients that many health-conscious people recognize as harmful to health. I reached out to David customer service, and they were really kind and responsive, which I appreciated. Nevertheless, I’ll post almost verbatim what I sent to them, because I want to encourage other consumers to fight for our health, and to consistently demand from companies that they stop selling us poison. Check out the other 1-star reviews here. People care. We do not want these ingredients. Note – I’ve had to remove the links to the studies I included, because Amazon will automatically redact them. But if you search for any of the things I’ve noted, you’ll find the research easily. ------ Message sent to David Protein: I want to share some feedback that you will hopefully consider, especially if other people like me write with the same concerns. I believe your product is a premium one (it certainly has a premium price) :) and it seems to be marketed towards people who take their health seriously. It’s frustrating that the food industry has continued on a decades-long trend to remove food from food. EPG, for instance, is not food. It’s an indigestible, synthetic, fat-like product. Take a look at these crazy side effects (some of which I experienced): (link to study was removed – google “EPG digestion side effects”) (Edit: Spoiler alert.... you might experience orange oily goo leaking out of your bum, including when you think you're passing gas...but surprise! Nope - time to shower and change your underwear immediately. I wish I was kidding. After I stopped consuming these bars, this bizarre symptom went away completely. EPG is not digestible by humans. EPG should not be sold. Google Olestra. This is Olestra 2.0.) I realize this ingredient was in your old formula, but I begrudgingly made my peace with it (Edit: this is no longer true - see my note above), but my true thought was – why don’t you just use a small amount of real fat? We, consumers, are not looking for calorie-free, food-free “food.” We want real food. Maltitol is a sugar alcohol. In recent years, it has come to light that sugar alcohols are associated with liver cancer. Check out: (link was removed – google “sugar alcohols and liver cancer”). I always mistrust something that seems too good to be true, especially sugar alternatives. Many health-conscious people, myself included, would be happy with just a small amount of real sugar or honey or maple syrup, as opposed to synthetic sweeteners. I believe that the danger of sugar alcohols will become more widely known over the next decade and people and companies who are paying attention will begin to shun them. And then you added sucralose and Ace-K. :( These are awful ingredients. I saw one of your Instagram ads, where people were pointing this out, and your responses to them were that they are “safe” and “FDA approved.” Do you know how many toxins and carcinogens are FDA approved? That can’t be the only source of “truth” that we listen to, because the FDA is not an angelic and altruistic organization. They are part useful and part pure evil. Both of these ingredients (and other artificial sweeteners), are linked to cardiovascular disease – which is the #1 killer in the US. Please check out: (link was removed – google “artificial sweeteners and heart disease”). Here’s another article on Ace-K: (link was removed – google “Effects of acesulfame K on human health”). If I were developing a product, I wouldn’t even consider including “questionable” ingredients (those that have raised enough red flags that they could be dangerous, even if there wasn’t a definitive cause/effect study produced). Why take the risk? There are so many extremely safe natural food ingredients to use. The problem is that little bad things like this, here and there, are used in tons of our food products, and over the decades, they add up to a big cumulative effect and cause serious diseases. Please consider this comment again: health-conscious people are looking for real food. The true solution is to just make everything from scratch at home, but it sure would be nice to find one convenient, truly clean protein bar to have occasionally. Thank you for reading, and I’ll truly miss your bars. They were delicious.

Yes, they are expensive. Yes, people think they are bougie. I don't care because they taste great and they are EXACTLY what I need from a protein bar, without anything I don't want. They are filling and have clean ingredients. Yum!

Based on an Amazon review that said the blueberry was delicious, I bought a box. Should have looked for a single bar sample. The protein level is impressive. but the texture is kind of sticky like taffy and the blueberry taste is barely discernible. It's not a bad taste--actually it's almost tasteless. But definitely not delicious.

I think the product is not genuine or has been melted during transportation. There is something strange. As I tried the one from the USA and it look and taste different
