REDCON1MRE Protein Bar, German Chocolate Cake - Contains MCT Oil + 20g of Whole Food Protein - Easily Digestible, Macro Balanced Low Sugar Meal Replacement Bar (12 Bars)

I'll admit, many protein bars often feel like just candy bars with added protein, so I’m not diving deep into the nutritional value or macros here—especially in comparison to other bars. That being said, I eat a lot of protein bars, frequently using them as lunch replacements on busy workdays.Out of all the protein bars I’ve tried, REDCON1 MRE Protein Bar in German Chocolate Cake is by far my favorite flavor. It’s the one I keep coming back to. The taste is rich and satisfying, and it genuinely feels like a treat, not just a "health snack." If you’re someone who values both flavor and protein content, this bar is definitely worth a try.

German Chocolate Cake flavor: ExcellentIngredients: The bars are more meat-based, which is what I want to get away from all the whey and soy found in similar products. There's still some undesirable ingredients for me like soy protein, soybean oil, sucralose, and titanium dioxide, but not as main ingredients. Beef, salmon, sweet potatoes, and blueberries are higher up on the list. It's a really good blend of ingredients, and it still somehow tastes like really good chocolate cake.Description: Easy to chew solid bars that are lightweight on the stomach. I ate two with a sandwich and chips, and didn't feel any bloating or inflammation or whatever. My stomach isn't considered sensitive though, so results may vary depending on your gut biome, but this should be softer on the stomach compared to some other brands' products.Price: $30 for 12 comes to $2.50 each, which is not bad at all considering the size and ingredients.

Redcon1 MRE bars are a great bar and taste pretty good. The Caramel Trail Mix flavor has good texture especially with the pretzel pieces within the bar. Only complaint I have come across with MRE bars in general is that they can be messy in the sense that the coating tends to go all over the place. Other than, solid protein bar for a good price.

Pretty tasty and filling! If you’re a chocolate lover, these are definitely for you!

The blueberry cobbler is disgusting. I have gone through 4-5 boxes of this flavor and were not the best tasting but was the only flavor available. The last two boxes I received taste absolutely horrible. It taste like previous boxes (like I said not great in the first place) but now with an intense taste of vomit. Have you vomited up gastric juices on a empty stomach? It tastes like but with the blueberry concoction. It sucks that I cannot return it either.

One of the things I enjoy most is German chocolate cake, and I'd never seen that flavor in a meal replacement bar. I froze the first box and enjoyed them very much. The second box I ate at room temperature and it was even better. The chocolate coating and coconut are dominant flavors for me. There are very crunchy crispy bits in the edges that are great. I have signed up for regular deliveries of this product. I take the time to eat these slowly so I have time to feel full. I generally have one as a meal replacement once or twice per day, with one low calorie meal. I'm down three sizes, so I'm happy.

[Review for the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough option]For my first test, I was starving by 9am, not having eaten breakfast yet. Took my first MRE bar. Haven't starved til 1pm. Albeit, I also had a bunch of other stuff: a corn, a banana, and a lil trail mix.Pros:- Looks like chocolate, tastes like chocolate, feels like a sturdy protein bar.- Nicely packed compact as advertised.Cons:- For an MRE, a 2022 expire date (bought 2021) sounds... pathetic. Gotta last +10yrs in case of apocalypse. That's what MREs are supposed to be for.- My img show package arrived with open sticker. Could be just due to age, or could be due to tampering...- (don't eat while reading this) I feel a slight potty tummy feeling down there 2-3hr after eating this. Could be a coincidence, or could very well be the bar itself. I can't quite ascertain. Will try a second time as a lunch replacement to see. The point of this is cuz I plan to do a long hike, and I can't have my travel food causing me to need to use the restroom frequently.- Also, not sure if it's cuz the bar is dry or just the moderately warm and dry weather, but I felt quite thirsty after eating this. Can't also be depleting my water stash during my long hike!Gripe: I noticed a disclaimer say this bar is NOT for weight reduction. I'm all like: ...we have a weight problem in this country (still)!2nd day update: Tried again, this time as my lunch replacement. Did not get the potty anal feeling! So I'd say the food hasn't gone bad. Did not make me rush to the toilet. But still too dry. Ima just have to pack a plethora of water for my Half Dome hike~ Oh, I did get hungry after ~3hr. So I'd say 1 bar doesn't quite qualify as a "meal replacement". More like a 2/3 meal replacement. In other words, you'd have to pack maybe 5-7 bars to last a Half Dome hike and/or pack more extra food, too.

These MRE Bars are easily addictive. They are a great alternative to a Cliff, or Kind Bar. Plus, they are packed with protein and are able to give you a sufficient amount of energy until your next meal. I’m not much of a breakfast fan, but I looked forward to each morning that I grabbed one as an alternative. Obviously, you can’t base your entire diet on these bars. But it is a perfect on-the-go alternative if you need a quick protein filled meal. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who doesn’t like the milky flavor of a protein drink, but wants a meal filled with protein.
