Based on the mixed reviews, I was hesitant about buying these, but said screw it, because I like "birthday cake" flavored things.
I don't know if I just got a good batch, or if they changed the recipe, but out of the several brands that I've tried, this is the first decent protein bar that I've had. Thickly coated, soft and chewy, and actually tastes good! I will definitely order more of these, in hopes that the rest will be the same.
I believe that the reviews for ALL of the flavors are lumped in here together. Therefore, I'll try to break down the flavors I have tried so far. Note that flavor is, of course, unique to each person, so your experience and pleasure may vary. I also have some dental issues I can't get help with, so my experience will vary from someone with a big ol' set of regular choppers, like say, Duane The Rock.
I originally bought these bars because I thought I would be staying for about a week in a place where I couldn't get to meals very easily. I needed something to help keep my blood sugar steadier and not be a high carb food. Turned out to not need them for that, but still eat one (at least one) every day.
BIRTHDAY CAKE: Oh my gosh, where have you been all my life? This satisfies my sweet tooth very much, and has a nice, cakey-texture. The only thing I do NOT like is the little ball-bearing-like candy beads on the top. They roll everywhere, get into the carpet, find every little dip in your teeth, etc. If they MUST put candies on the top, use the softer and longer jimmies, not these rock-hard little dudes.
The box of six lasted two days. Just sayin'. Two thumbs up on this one.
CHOCOLATE SALTED CARAMEL:
Very tasty, and the name is very accurate. So accurate, in fact, I probably will not buy them again. The salt is VERY pronounced. Too pronounced for me. It's okay, wouldn't turn one down, but also would not buy them again.
CHOCOLATE DELUXE:
This is my favorite so far, because I am a chocoholic. I like the texture of these bars, although I wish it was more like the birthday cake bars. A little softer would be nice. But overall, I will definitely buy this flavor again.
MAPLE CARAMEL:
I only ordered this one because I got a good price and thought "why not". I actually like this very much. I was surprised. The maple flavoring? Well, if I had not read the label, I would not have thought it was a maple bar. It could use a little boost in flavoring, PP manufacturers! The white coating is tasty too. It is almost like having a Snickers bar without the peanuts and with white chocolate. I love the caramel in this bar as well. Again, more maple please.
CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP:
This is not bad either. I'd venture to say exactly what you would expect by the name. Nothing to write home about, certainly not bad, just wouldn't order them on purpose again.
Those are all the flavors I have tried so far. If the company wants to send me a few more to try, I'll happily review them!
I'll "suffer" and eat other combinations. It would be wise of the manufacturers to consider making a bigger variety pack, one with one of each flavor in the box. It would definitely be a way to try out more flavors without breaking the bank, and could win them lifelong customers. Hint Hint. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
Overall, I find the macros good enough for me, but not everyone might like them. Each flavor varies, so be sure to look it up for yourself, if you are doing a very strict keto or low carb diet and want to track everything. I'm a loose-low-carber right now, and these bars help me meet my daily protein needs.
I'll continue to buy this brand. I'm very happy with the taste of the bars and the macros they offer.
these are great, they get the job done with getting you that protein. They don't taste magnificent, which i wouldn't expect quite honestly. I eat these daily and i have one stipulation.....I HAVE to have a glass of skim milk with them. It's like milk and cookies, gotta have the milk. I just wish these were really cookies! :) Seriously though, if you have a problem with these not being totally delicious. Eat it with a glass of milk, it helps greatly....and you get that extra protein
My average consumption of protein bars is at least 4 bars a day, so through the years I may have tried them all. This “in a close tie with Julian Bakery’s line” is the king of flavor. This doesn’t taste like a protein bar at all, but rather as a tasty dessert. Note that It’s very sweet “which is exactly my kind of thing !” , but be careful if you are not into sweet treats.
I eat these bars for breakfast driving my 50 minute commute to work every morning. This was the first time I had seen the birthday cake flavor and was curious as there are a couple other flavors in this brand that I do not like. These are THE BOMB!!! I absolutely love them and will definitely be ordering more, very soon. I hate that they do not come in 12 pack boxes.

Delicious new flavor brought to you by Pure Protein! Pure Protein Birthday Cake bars provide high-quality protein for a convenient pre or post workout snack. With 20 grams of protein, 3 grams of sugar and 200 calories, new Pure Protein Birthday Cake bars give you a reason to celebrate!
I've tried many protein bars and come to the conclusion that more than most things, our taste buds are just very particular for each of us. Some people think the Pure Protein bars are the worst ever and think the QuestBar bars are the best ever, others the reverse. I absolutely love the Pure Protein bars especially the chocolate chip, chocolate peanut butter, and the peanut butter caramel. Of all the flavors I've tried (and I've tried them all many, many times) my favorite is still the Peanut Butter Caramel but this newer Birthday Cake flavor has quickly become my second favorite. It feels lighter and chewier and softer for some reason.
Dont let 1 star cry babies stray you away, this tastes awesome. You gotta remember it’s still a protein bar, I’d actually be questioning it if it tasted like a pure candy bar. But honestly, here’s the best I can describe it. First off you know those white and pink dinosaur cookies with sprinkles you’d get as a kid? It looks like a white snickers version of that. It’s really just a semi sweet semi chalky snickers without caramel but with crunch pieces, and flavored like birthday cake and looks like the nostalgic cookie. Don’t eat it all so fast or it will be a pain to chew and ends up being gross, but eat it like a normal person and it’s amazing.
Personally think for the money, these are the best bars on the market. I consume one to two bars at night before bedtime. If I get up hungry during the night, this is my snack. These bars taste great, but had a few bars in the same box with a bad after taste.
I've been eating protein bars for years as a meal replacement supplement (please no comments on my diet habits please! :) and these do the job. As advertised: low sugar, high protein, nutritious and DELICIOUS. I love candy bars and I happily replace that craving with these (sometimes).
What I am at work and forgot my lunch, or just want to skip a meal to slim down a little, these work perfectly. They leave you feeling FULL after one...
You also can't beat the price. I used to be a Quest Bar fan and Pure Proteins price and taste won me over.
It's not going to give you all the vitamins you need - you can't live off of these - but you can use it for that extra burst of protein that won't leave you hungry for more (even though the taste will...)
Satisfies cravings, can replace a meal, and the taste makes you want more.
One of the main things I order regularly... (Who has time to grab these at GNC or elsewhere when you can fall back on the convenience of Amazon in it's Prime!
Finally, a protein bar that doesn’t taste like sawdust.
My husband and I love the Pure Protein bars. This is the first time trying the strawberry Greek yogurt and I am not disappointed.
Not only do they taste good, they are very filling and keep me fueled up for hours. I always keep one of these bars in my purse to help curb my appetite while away from home and keeps me from reaching for a candy bar.
