My little treat. I stick to a strict ketogenic diet due to a severe autoimmune condition. This pretty much means only meat, fish, eggs, a few green veggies, and fats. As a whole, my body feels best and functions best this way. Sometimes you want quick food and having something packaged on hand really helps out. I decided to try these bars out because the ingredients were doable for me and the carb content is lower than a lot of others. I read through the different reviews and noted that a number of people had issues with the texture, taste etc, but decided to see for myself. I am glad I did. I love these little bars and look forward to having one every day! Being on a strict diet and giving up all the 'yummy' foods probably is part of it, but I also really love the taste. The peanut butter chocolate chip are by far my favorite flavor. Smear some butter on one of these and pour a cup of hot tea or coffee for a delightful snack. I understand what it's like to try to find the 'one' by sampling many that are a lot like bricks of sand covered in chocolate. Expensive and frustrating to say the least!If you are looking for a good keto/protein bar, I would definitely give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!

I'm not sure why, but these bars were completely inedible for me. I've got probably 40+ different kinds of keto bars, protein bars, and other snacks in this category, and to be honest this is the only one that tastes absolutely abhorrent. The texture is grainy and sandy, and the flavor is VERY artificial. These taste SO bad that I'm honestly worried that my box may have gone rancid. I had my two roommates try them as well, and both immediately spit them out. My box is well within the sell-by date, and the wrappers on all the bars have no sign of heat damage or punctures, so I'm led to believe that perhaps it really is the intended flavor. This is also perplexing because of the thousands of reviews that say these taste great. Also, I am fully aware that this is a "health" food, and having been on another keto diet cycle for a few weeks now, I know that most keto food doesn't taste great. But I'm not comparing these bars to like a Snicker's bar, my stale old Quest bars taste like a slice of heaven compared to these bars. Unfortunately, I won't be buying these again just to make sure I didn't get a bad batch due to their high cost. If they tasted bad, I'd be alright with it...I'd still eat the whole box even if they tasted bad. But these bars are, to me, not even edible.

So, I bought these because I read the company’s founders’ book. The book was great, and quite a bit more scientific than diet-fad-ish. It taught me to do a cleaner keto, to avoid sugar alcohols and low-carb sweeteners, count total carbs instead of net carbs, eat only “real” foods I can pronounce, and avoid all vegetable oils like the plague. In the book, they talk pretty extensively about how their company makes bars and supplements for keto because so much of the stuff out there is just high-priced garbage. (Agreed.)These show up, and lo-and-behold, they’ve got 11 total carbs for a bar the size of a slightly-larger fig newton, so much stevia in them dentists within ten miles instinctually perked up like lions on the Serengeti, a bunch of stuff I can’t pronounce and have no idea what it’s there for, and it has sunflower lecithin (aka, oil). So much for that whole, ‘only accept oils from things that are naturally oily like coconuts and olives’ and ‘avoid cheap oils like the plague.’ I’m sure the company’s founders have wonderful rationales for all this, but it seems rather to go against their own rules. I don’t know. Maybe it’s a packaging issue and they should explain it better on the label?Oh yeah, and they taste pretty gross. No almond flavor, no chocolate flavor, just chemical sweetness.EDIT: so, I tried the other flavors, and they’re good. I think the almond butter brownie ones just aren’t. I also think Amazon probably mishandles them (think letting them melt and resolidify multiple times), because the weird and unappetizing texture—rock hard lump sitting in a pool of oil—isn’t intentional.

Its difficult to find low carb / Keto snack bars that taste decent, and these (IMHO) are overpriced for what they are but are OK as snack. They are chalky and greasy, but they taste is good and kinda grow on you the more you eat them. The only issue (other than expensive price) that I have is that the bar itself is inconsistent and the product separates and then re-coagulates during storage and shipping. I suspect that it's in a high heat warehouse, melts, and then reforms itself during shipping. Anyway, I continue to buy them because the fit my diet. I think that the vendor could probably figure something out so that they are not a mess when they show up at the buyers house. Picture attached.

I have been buying Perfect Keto Collagen Protein Bars for years, with the Salted Caramel flavor being my favorite. I used to be a faithful customer until they changed the machinery used to create their protein bars. The new machinery also processes wheat, which is a problem for me since I have Celiac Disease. I don't want to risk contamination, as even a little wheat can cause severe pain. So, I am no longer buying these bars, even though I love them. If the company changes its manufacturing process in the future, I will definitely return as a customer. Until then, I’m sad to say goodbye to my favorite protein bars.
