PRIMA ANCESTRAL PROTEIN BAR Prima Grass Fed Protein Bars, Pack of 7 - Animal Sourced Protein Bar with Beef Tallow, Raw Honey, Seed Oil Free, Low Carb, Glute Free

I REALLY want to like these because I'm trying to move completely away from seed oils in my diet. I occasionally need a meal replacement for when I travel or when life gets busy. So, when I found these, I thought they would be a great choice. My experience was this: 1) I opened up the wrapper and the smell was NOT good. Also, there was moisture in the package which I've NEVER seen before in a protein bar. The oily mixture got on my fingers and made it somewhat messy even before I took my first bite. 2) My first bite was NOT pleasant. I expected a chocolate flavor, but whatever the flavor was supposed to be, it definitely was not chocolate - at least not what I was expecting. Also, it was not really soft and not really hard, somewhere between. 3) After while the aftertaste was NOT good. I finished the bar because I didn't anything else to replace it today. Bottom line, I don't care how healthy this one says it is, it needs to taste good too. This thing was awful!!!! I wish there was a zero star option. Unfortunately, I bought 2 boxes. I will be returning one and not sure what to do with the remaining bars. I'm sure the scavengers at the landfill will enjoy them. My search will continue.

When I first discovered these bars last year, they were wonderful, except pricey. I didn't mind the tallow issues. If you want clean ingredients without fillers and such, temperature is going to affect it naturally. The taste was great, though I didn't love the cacao nibs. Wished they made ones without. Lately the taste and quality has been quite variable, however, and am now questioning what I thought would be a staple for me. My theory is that they have had to outsource the manufacturing as they scale, which is happening rapidly, and the other makers do not make it quite right/the same. I hope this is sorted because it's a great concept and the ingredients are great, but taste consistency and quality need to be addressed. Good luck to Prima, cheering for you!

This is VERY chewy...pull out your cavity type chewy. It bears eating with your front teeth, sucking the flavor out of it, then carefully eat what's left over, with your front teeth. I received the Cacao flavor. It tastes okay. It's pretty dry. Sometimes, the outside of the bar was oily. It does not have as much protein in it as I thought when purchasing it. I will not buy again due to difficulty chewing and lack of protein. Double check the nutrition info before buying. Does seem to have all natural ingredients. I would advise against traveling with this bar. If it gets warm, I'd hate to think how oily the outside of the bar would be or how chewy bar would be.

I wanted to love these bars so much! The ingredient list is wonderful and I want to support this company for going against the grain and making a protein bar with quality ingredients that is actually good for you. Thank you so much for doing this, Prima! But at the same time, I have to be honest and say that I don't plan to purchase these again. I bought the cacao flavor, and let me tell you -- they are indeed delicious -- however, they are so. hard. to. chew. This is the feedback from myself, my husband, and even my oldest teen. Just to break off a bite, I found myself having to gnaw on it with my back molars, kind of like a dog chews on a bone. Afterwards, because it sticks all over my mouth and teeth, I had to really clean myself up before talking to anyone. And I live in Houston, y'all. It isn't hard to chew because of the cold. I am super picky about clean ingredients, but even so, I'm going to have to pass on this. Please, Prima, please figure out the problem and make another clean protein bar that is easier to consume!

The last bar in the box was completely sealed, but empty. There was no bar inside, yet the wrapper was completely sealed, and at those prices for only 7 bars per box, it’s worth noting and disappointing.
