David High Protein Bars No Sugar - Sugar Free Protein Bars, Low Carb, Gluten Free - 28g of Protein, 150 Calories - David Bar On-The-Go Snack - Blueberry Pie Flavor, Pack of 12

I was pleasantly surprised by the David High Protein Bars in the Blueberry Pie flavor. With 28g of protein and only 150 calories, they're perfect for post-workout recovery or a quick on-the-go snack. The blueberry flavor is natural and not overly sweet, which I appreciate—especially since there’s no added sugar. The texture is dense but not dry, and it’s great that they’re gluten-free and low carb. They do have that typical protein bar aftertaste, but it's minimal compared to others I’ve tried. Overall, these bars are a solid choice for anyone watching carbs or sugar but still needing a protein boost.

These ars sooooooooo good. I had RNY gastric bypass 15 years ago, my husband is 14?years out and my daughter just had it in December. As a family we are almost 500lbs lighter. So needless to say protein bars and drinks are a staple in our household. These bars have the best texture, almost like a brownie or cake, almost like the texture of a candy bar. And the flavor is over the top fresh, sweet but not too sweet. They keep you full and you feel good. I just ordered more love them.

These bars are so good! High protein, low calories and filling! Love, love!

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.

Nice size bars, good nutrient count. Low sugar/high protein. The bars fill you up and are made with few ingredients. The taste is good for low sugar and carbs. The price is the reason for only 4 stars. Pricey for bars.

David protein bars are delicious. They have the highest amount of protein. They have no sugar and low in calories. They are soft but still have a crunch. Great product.

They should be stored in a cool, dry place. They are yummy and great if looking for a high protein source without sugar! Very satisfying. I decided not to bring them on a rugged camping trip because I was worried they would melt. Otherwise, highly recommend! Love blueberry pie!

While the taste is not super great, it is the smallest bar with the largest amount of plant-based protein. Most importantly, it does not have sugar alcohols that are proved to add plaque to arteries.
