Customer Reviews of Dr. Melina Protein Bar, Lemon Raspberry, 1.58-Ounce Bars (Pack of 15)
Customer Review: Not bad...what other flavor do you have?
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I figured I would divide up the review for this product in different criteria, i.e. content, taste.
Content:
The bar has decent calorie to protein to fat ratio. The carbohydrate content is decent enough but I'd prefer one a bit lower although that might happen at the expense of sacrificing the taste. I'll give this a 4 for content.
Taste:
You better love lemon. There is raspberry but the taste of lemon overwhelms it. A little on the sweet side but other wise not bad. I'd be interested in getting this in another flavor though. I'll give a 3.5 for taste.
Price:
Important factor. At $23 for a box of 15 bars, you are approximately paying $1.53 for each bar which is a great price in my book. I tried the Ironman and Muscletech Meso-Tech bars which costs over $3 at my local GNC. A solid 4 for price.
So, overall this product deserves a 4.
Customer Review: Great taste--sweet and chewy

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I am usually not a fan of protein bars, as they tend to remind me of eating cardboard or sand. However, I was looking for a nutritious, healthful snack to replace other, less-healthful treats. These looked interesting to me so I decided to try them.
The first thing I noticed was the aroma. They have a pleasant, natural lemon scent.
I love the texture of these bars. They are chewy, but not sticky and gummy. And the flavor is wonderful. The lemon flavor and bits of raspberry blend together very well, and the icing on one side of the bar appealed to my sweet tooth.
There is a little of the "protein bar grit" to these, but it is minimal. I enjoyed eating the bar, and plan to use these as snacks or even occasional meal replacements.
As someone who usually does not care for protein bars, I was pleasantly surprised by the Dr. Melina bars. Give them a try!
Customer Review: Rather tasty

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
These protein snack bars stack up favorably against the best-tasting bars on the market. The fresh raspberry flavor is complemented with an undercurrent of lemon, The vanilla icing sweetens them up just enough, and is reminiscent of the "milk-and-cereal" bars on the market. They're chewy without being sticky or gummy, though I found them just a bit mealy (the soy, no doubt). They're a quick and nutritious alternative for breakfast, or an afternoon snack-time boost. They're high in protein (14g), fiber (5g, 18%), calcium (20%) and vitamin D (30%), and very low in sodium (65mg, 3%) and cholesterol (5mg, 1%). On the other hand, they are relatively high in calories (180), carbs (21g, 7%), fat (5g, 8%, 2g saturated, 0g trans fat) and sugar (10g). I'll leave it up to the consumer to decide how well this product fits into their dietary needs, but I for one found them overall to be tasty and satisfying.Customer Review: Passes The Family Test!

Everyone in my family of four gives these protein bars a thumbs-up!
After eating junky snack bars for years, it was a bit of a shock to bite into one of Dr. Melina's protein bars. It tasted... Healthy. Which is to say, not all sweet and sugary. The lemon taste is strong. I would've preferred a bit more raspberry.
I like that the bar is not crunchy. I've had some that break apart upon the first bite and you end up picking crumbs off your clothes. My 9-year-old son said, "They're chewy, but not too chewy."
Best of all, they sit well in our stomachs and take away mid-morning hunger pangs. I could easily eat one of these for breakfast or lunch and feel good about the healthy ingredients. Better this than an Egg McMuffin.
As protein bars go, these are the best I've ever had. We'll definitely be keeping them around the house.
Customer Review: A Welcome Change from Bars that Taste Like The Box They Came In
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I am not a breakfast or power bar devotee. The ones I've tried previously were never satisfying or tasty, so I'd given up on nutrition bars as almost as bad as rice cakes.
These lemon-raspberry bars have not converted me into a ravenous fan, but they have expanded my choices a bit. These bars are high protein (14 g), and the taste is pleasant, although very lemony.
More important to me, they are small enough and pleasant enough to take along on long bike rides when I need a little help to make it through the last few miles.
I could wish for more nutrition packed into the under two-ounce bars, but for an occasional, quick pick-me-up, they'll do fine.
If you usually don't like bars, but you do find the need for a quick something, try these. Not merely palatable, they're actually good!
