Customer Reviews of Dr. Melina Protein Bar, Lemon Raspberry, 1.58-Ounce Bars (Pack of 15)
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: Not the worst protein bar out there, but not the best either
Summary: 2 Stars
Well, as far as nutrition goes, these protein bars are pretty middle of the road. Some of the other reviewers took care of laying out the nutritional details quite well. They are also handy for in your purse or office desk. These positive attributes, however, are completely out-weighed by the disgusting taste. I took two bites out of one of these bars and threw the rest of the bar away. It has way too much of a fake sweet taste, and to go along with the fake sweet taste, it has a fake lemon taste. It is almost like old, stale, lemon candy or some strange stale cereal. Its hard to describe. The raspberry taste isn't too bad, but it would be better paired with vanilla instead of the awful lemon. Unfortunately, I bought an entire box of these things. Most likely I will throw the rest away. My advice, buy a single bar and try it for yourself before making the committment to a 15 ct box.Customer Review: Sweetness and bite

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: Pretty good bar...

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Being a person who is healthy, a bit under weight and works out regularly I'm not really a huge fan of protein bars - on a regular basis anyhow. I found this to be fruity but not too sweet and with a nice consistency to it as far as being crunchy and not mushy. I did find that it made me feel a bit nauseous after eating it so perhaps eating 1/2 the bar would have been better for me in the long run. I'm not a big snacker in between meals but I will be sure to carry this in my car as a quick treat if I just need a boost of energy to be able to keep up with my three children!Customer Review: Much better than I expected

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.
