Customer Reviews of Dr. Melina Protein Bar, Lemon Raspberry, 1.58-Ounce Bars (Pack of 15)
Customer Review: Deeeee-lish!
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
As someone who over the last few years has lost a bit of weight and is trying to keep it off AND eat healthier, I'm always on the look-out for things that satisfy my sweet tooth but are nutritious as well as being tasty. For me, this bar fits the bill. I liked the combination of sweet from the dried rasberries and lightly tangy from the lemon frosting on the one side of the bar. This bar is nice and soft, so not like a granola bar-if you prefer crunchy, this bar would not be for you. I love the fact that the bar has no high fructose corn syrup and helps me meet my calcium requirement (the bar supplies 20% of your calcium, which is especially important for women). The bar also has 5 grams of fiber and 14 grams of protein. I would definitely grab this as a healthier snack option or a light breakfast on the go. Did I mention it was created by a nutrition doctor? All the better!
I would definitely buy this product again and would be interested in trying other bars that are available.

I'm not really a protein bar guru, or even that healthy an eater. But that's why I really like this snack. In the morning I sometimes skip breakfast because there are not many things you can grab and eat fast and still think they taste good. So I didn't really expect much from this bar. And guess what, I was pleasantly surprised.
The bar is sweet but not too sweet. The lemon flavor is a little light, but the rasberry is right on. It's got an awesome amount of protein too, which got my brother excited as he works out regularly. So it works for more than one person.
PROS: Light flavor. Good protein, good fiber. Light on the stomach as well. Verstile for either a healthy eater, a person who is really into physical exercise, or a person working on a diet.
CONS: Lemon + Rasberry = not tart enough as it should be. Might be too sweet for some.
BOTTOM LINE: This bar is low calorie, high in protien, high in fiber, and tasty. What's not love?
Customer Review: Tastey treat
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is one of those crunchy, sweet treats.
Good presentation. The bar is nicely finished with little flecks of what look like dried fruit.
Great aroma. The bar smells really good when unwrapped.
Great taste. A bit sweet (for me), but intensely fresh tasting flavors.
Good consistency. Maybe a bit crumbly, though that's sort of the nature of these things. In addition, the bar was substantial and filling.
High in protien (14 grams), Zero trans fat. A good source of vitamin D and calcium. Only 180 calories (less than 1/3 of which are from fat). Also important, low in Sugar Alcohol. So it isn't going to mess you up if you eat two.
Overall a great bar/treat. Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Sweetness and bite
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The texture of this bar is good - neither too chewy nor crunchy - a definite improvement on most protein bars. It is very sweet, but the sweeteners in it are mostly more healthful than plain sucrose. It has a surprising tanginess - a sharp bite to it - which may or may not be to your taste. The advantage of that, of course, is that you can kid yourself you're getting a portion of citrus fruit. I like the size, which is enough to stave off hunger pangs (`keep the worms from biting', as my Mom used to say) without loading you with too many calories. So, if you want a sweet, fruity snack which will not totally ruin your diet plan, try these bars.Customer Review: Much better than I expected

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I actually eat a lot of protein bars, being hypoglycemic, and most of them taste like cardboard. My son wrinkles his nose and refuses, knowing that even though they may be packaged like candy bars, they don't taste good. But these ones... these ones everyone ate. I personally don't like the chocolate flavors and it was a delight to find a lemon raspberry flavor that wasn't sweet, cloying or too artificial.
I got these as a sample from Vine, but ordered some more, even though they are on the pricy side, because they work, and they taste just right.
