Disappointing and deceptive...
I've been on the keto diet for six months, so I'm always looking for good, tasty protein bars that have low carbs along with sufficient protein and fat. So I decided to try three flavors of the Perfect Keto bars: Almond Butter Brownie, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, and Salted Caramel. I know now that one thing should have tipped me off from the product pages on Amazon — there were no pictures of the bars outside the wrapper. Oh, you get the end of one, poking out of the wrapper, but that's it.
When my three boxes arrived, I was looking forward to trying them. I opened one box, took out a bar and got my first surprise; the bar was only a little over half the size of the wrapper. I opened all three boxes to see, and they're ALL that way. My photo shows the actual bars next to their packaging. This is a waste of packaging and a deceptive portrayal to the consumer. No wonder the nutrition numbers were so good...it's only HALF A BAR!
I opened one of the cookie dough bars and was stunned at how oily, slimy, and misshapen the bar was. It was a disgusting mess to handle. My second photo shows the oil pooled inside the wrapper after the bar was removed. It was a mess.
So, small size, unappealing appearance, and yukky texture...I could have still tolerated these bars if the taste was great.
But it wasn't. Crumbly, somewhat bitter, and artificial-tasting. Any Quest bar is MUCH better than these. Yes, I tried all three flavors and was not pleased with any of them.
This was a doubly expensive lesson for me, since I won't be eating the rest of these things. This is the most disappointing thing I've eaten on the keto diet.
