Customer Reviews of Luna Bars, Chocolate Peppermint Stick, 1.69-Ounce Bars (Pack of 15)
Customer Review: tastes like a peppermint patty
Summary: 5 Stars
Of all of the Luna Bar flavors, the Chocolate Peppermint Stick is my favorite. It is very minty and easily chewable. You don't have to worry about breaking a tooth when you try to eat it. The bar is dipped in peppermint on one side; the overall chocolate and peppermint is very reminiscent of a peppermint patty. If I had not looked at the wrapper, I would be able to say this was meant to be a peppermint bar (try doing that with other protein/meal replacement/nutrition bars that claim to be peanut butter flavored or brownie flavored and they taste nothing like their inspiration.) There is also no vitamin taste.
Overall, the bar is pretty filling and could hold you over between meals. As it has less than 200 calories, it can be classified as a snack. I like to eat one of these bars after dinner as a treat and also keep them in my office when I can't leave for lunch.
In sum, if you like chocolate and peppermint, try this bar.
Customer Review: Don't expect candy... but it's not bad, either
Summary: 4 Stars
After overcoming my initial hesitation about energy bars, and working through a few to get used to the "nutritious" taste, I've come to enjoy Luna bars as a way to stave off my lunch-to-dinner snack craving. Cookies & Cream and Chocolate Peppermint Stick are my standbys, although I'll mix it up with a Chai Tea bar or one of the Peanut Butter flavors as well. I'm not fond of the fruit and pie flavors, particularly the Lemon Zest and Orange... they're a little unnatural, and I was not fond of the creamy (non-chocolate) coating on them.
Amazon really does offer the lowest price per case on these... if you eat Lunas regularly, stock up, 'cause your local grocery store won't offer these prices anytime soon.
And guys--don't be timid to try these, even though they're "girly"--there's more flavor choice, and once you peel off the wrapper, it's just another energy bar.
Customer Review: Minty and Yummy... the perfect Luna Bar
Summary: 5 Stars
Being somewhat of a Luna Bar junkie, I was pleased to see my favorite flavor for such a great price on Amazon. I tend to eat about one a day, unless I'm getting bored of the flavors I have. I think I got through this pack in less than 2 weeks. Sometimes protein bars don't fill you up AND taste good. It's one or the other, and I even find some Luna Bar flavors not too appealing after 5 years. I love mint, and chocolate, and it's a nice chewy texture.
The package came in great condition, the chocolate wasn't melted, which has happened before with other flavors. Great price, quick delivery, great product. I only wish they'd make a variety pack with these included...
Customer Review: Try them.
Summary: 5 Stars
The calories and fat are far less than a candy bar, and it's far more satisfying. I don't get nearly enough vitamins, and these bars give me a better start. There's no corn syrup, plenty of protein, and so many vitamins I found a few I didn't recognize.
Amazon has a great price for 15 bars, less than a dollar a piece! Don't be afraid to try these! The Peppermint Stick bars taste just like thin mint Girl Scout Cookies! I like Caramel Nut Brownie too, in fact, the only one that didn't fit my tastes was the Lemon Zest.
They're fit for a lady's health, but I'm very sure anyone can enjoy these.
Customer Review: Don't buy them
Summary: 1 Stars
I am amazed that all these so-called health foods will add artery-clogging "palm kernel oil" as an ingredient. Don't buy anything with palm kernel oil, cocoa butter, and anything hydrogenated!! No matter how many "organic" things are added to it.
For many years now, it has been established that palmitic acid carbon atoms increase the risk of coronary heart disease. The World Health Organization in its report states there is convincing evidence that palmitic oil consumption contributes to an increased risk of developing of cardiovascular diseases.
