Ok, so Im a mature woman and I have had sooo many different types and brands of protein bars from Cliff bars to Kind bars to RX bars etc etc and nothing compares to ZONE PERFECT bars hands down the best one. Firstly the texture is like a rice crispy candy treat and a granola bar mixed together light but super satisfying one will keep you full fro a bit. The flavors are so good they do not taste like fake sweetness not cardboard. I need help with protein levels as I dont eat meat and I also have about 3 businesses 4 rescue animals a stepdaughter and husband and I eat on the go basically 50% of my life.
I first had the ZONE bar on set and I immediately was addicted. I had the cookie dough than I started buying them at Ralphs and was going through them quick so I ordered about 120 bars (all fudge graham) on amazon. I have dedicated whole draw to them in the kitchen.
So back to my protein levels and minerals levels were low and I eat about 4 a day and had to get another blood test and my levels were all better the only thing I added was more ZONE bars.
Also they aren't high in sugar and the Fudge Graham reminds me of s'mores and I LOVE s'mores.

I also find them reasonably priced compared to other bar that taste like cardboard. I dont eat a lot in general Im real picky and I need a lot of bang for my buck so the bars are like my total got to for a protein bar.
What's important to me especially at my age (middle age) is that they have no artificial anything!!

Also they are never dry they are moist I can't get enough of the texture its so awesome.
They are hands down the only bar I can eat now. I never get sick of it Ive been eating them since I first had them years ago on set:)

These bars taste great and keep you full!

I am borderline addicted to cookie dough and I'm obsessed with these protein bars. They taste and feel just like cookie dough. They have a slightly high sugar content but I feel better eating them than regular cookie dough because it has high protein. It will keep you full. I brought these to eat at the airport and for breakfast and they were perfect for keeping me full between meals. Soft consistency.

My grocery store carries this brand but not this flavor so I always buy on Amazon.

Whether you are trying to lose weight, or simply are a type two Diabetic, I would strongly encourage you to try this snack or nutrition bar. Let me explain why this nutrition bar is substantially different.

The problem that many people share is the lack of will associated with trying to modify your diet. There are two reasons for this, and one of them is for psychological reasons - the habits that you have created in your life previously. I also think that social eating is wrapped in this same psychology.

This is a battle by itself, but the biggest problem I have found is the dropping of blood sugar. I used to think that my blood sugar was too low, and it was for so many years, but the only thing you can really feel is a drop in blood sugar - not the real blood sugar value. This drop in blood sugar signals to your body and your mind that you should be eating something. If this is the physical, opposed to psychological, there is a demand on you to eat. This is very hard to ignore, and it is probably because there is, metaphorically speaking, a million years of evolution that has gone into making sure that we are fed.

This second battle was the most difficult one for me, and so the solution is to: (1) not allow your blood sugar levels get too high, and (2) keep them from dropping too quickly. This is difficult to do, but I have tried many different bars, and only the ZonePerfect nutrition bars are able to give me the carbohydrate energy my body needs throughout the day. I don't feel starved, but more importantly the bar is scientifically designed to allow a slow release of energy into my system. I don't have the physical craving, and even after a number of hours, my blood sugar will gently come down from NOT an abnormally high level. I have documented this with my own "at home" blood glucose meter. I have been exceptionally happy with this nutrition bar's design. It works well.

Now, about this particular bar, it would seem that while everyone else is indulging on a chocolate, or a dessert, the dieter or diabetic (type 2 - I don't know about type 1) you are left out in the cold. The social end of eating starts to gnaw at you, and this causes problems a few hours later if you succumb to the social pressure to eat something. THIS IS THE WONDER AND THE POWER OF THIS NUTRITION BAR. The bar does have a lot of good old chocolate taste to it, and it does have a dessert like quality to it. The taste of the chocolate does make this a decadent break in the day - but I try to keep this as something very special.

A social break with food associated is always difficult for the dieter or the diabetic, but even 1/2 of this bar, with a black coffee makes an exceptional distraction from the gooey goodness your friends are having.

You need to be organized though. These nutrition bars are not lying around waiting to be eaten, but you need to plan to have these in advance. My EDC (everyday carry bag) has at least one of these bars in it. You never know when a friend will drop by and ask to go for coffee or coffee break. If you are dieting or a diabetic, a simply donut can put you into a dietary tailspin - you need to have these in advance - waiting to rescue you from the temptation and of course the tailspin.

I have one of these boxes (and have ordered others too) arrive to me each month. Check out the subscription pricing as well - once you are sold on this.

I have written a lot here, and hope that it will help you. The zoneperfect bars have helped me a lot, and I have not only lost many pounds, but have kept my type 2 diabetes in check. My handling of stress is my problem now, but it is most assuredly NOT the social eating anymore, and it is not the cravings that rapidly falling blood sugar will produce.

Like most of these bars, they are a bit dry, but overall pretty good!
