I started my fitness journey in June of this year and I needed something to help me in the protein area. I like eating something with protein before and after my workout sessions.
I also like snacking and I know I need improvement in that area, so I figure if I can do better in the protein area, then my snacking habits would change too. In the past, I have done a little experiment with having protein with each meal I eat and it alleviated my cravings.
Here enters The Simply Bar. I do not eat protein bars a lot, but I have tried a few in the past. Those that I did try, were either too sweet or did not taste good.
The Wellness Foods Company sent me four flavors (box) – (lemon coconut, caramel peanut, cinnamon pecan, peanut butter chocolate) of the The Simply Bar to review.
I am glad I tried the The Simply Bar, because it is by far one of the best protein bars I have tried to date.

My Review of The Simply Bar
The first Simply Bar that I tried was the flavor caramel peanut. I was not impressed with the caramel peanut flavor and I thought I would not like the other flavors, but luckily I found myself falling in love with The Simply Bar.
The Simply Bar has a texture of a rice crispy treat, but soy crisps are thicker and not as light as a rice crispy.
The Simply Bar is not very sweet, but it has just the right amount of sweetness. I liked that it is not too sweet.
I raved to my husband about these bars and that I noticed something happen for me within a 1-2 days of eating The Simply Bars. I did not snack like I usually do, because The Simply Bar was very filling.
Compared to other protein bars that I have tried, I can say The Simply Bar is the best. Why? Because it is high in protein, low in calories, low in sugar and has fiber.
My favorite Simply Bar is Lemon Coconut, with Cinnamon Pecan coming in second.
Overall, I enjoyed The Simply Bar and I cannot wait to place my order.
I recommend that you try The Simply Bar, you will not be disappointed.

The lemon bar does sound good; the caramel one sounds too sweet. Why didn’t you care for the latter?
Evelyn Parham says
Hey Kymberly,
The caramel is not too sweet, it was a little salty to me, but it could have been my taste buds. I tried it a few more times and it wasn’t as bad, but it is not one I would purchase.
Hmmm…your comluv post sounds very interesting, I’ll be over. 😉
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi, Evelyn! Simply Bar is my treat after 2 hours of training 😀 Sometimes I lack of energy to work out, but thinking of Simply Bar motivates me 😀
Evelyn Parham says
Hey Cristian,
Wow, that sounds great. I’m glad you shared this info.
Cristian Stan says
Hey, Evelyn! My pleasure. How do you motivate yourself? Or maybe you don’t need such tricks?

Hi Cristian!
When I have my mind set to do something, I do it. But when I fall off the wagon or am slack, I always get back on, never being hard on myself.
