As the label says, Power Bar tastes like a fruit smoothie, but I found the texture to be especially interesting. I expected something like a granola bar, but Power Bar actually has the chewiness of taffy candy. Yum! As an added benefit, all of that chewing almost makes the 2 ounces plus bar feel like a meal.
The bar is also chocked full of vitamins and minerals (17 of them), including 100% of vitamins C, E, and a variety of the B vitamins; 25% of calcium and 30% of iron.
I’ll admit to being more of a couch potato than a fitness nut, so I won’t be taking Power Bar on hikes or to the gym, but I think it would be a perfect addition to the back pack or gym bag of the active person. I’m also adding them to my husband’s desk supplies for an afternoon pick-me-up at work, and I think they’ll be perfect healthy snacks for trips. Their small size and big vitamin content would even make them a good addition to your disaster survival kit. And of course I will continue to eat them just because they taste good.

I’ve never been too fond of PowerBar in general, but decided to give this Fruit Smoothie Berry Blast flavor a try regardless. The end result is a flavor that isn’t too bad (compared to the Chocolate flavored Powerbar, which certainly doesn’t taste like chocolate to me at all), and better yet, doesn’t make you gag as soon as it touches your tongue. It’s flavor doesn’t entirely taste like a berry flavored fruit smoothie, but the fruity taste of the bar is strangely satisfying however. All in all, in terms of energy, nutrition, or protein bars, you can certainly do worse than what you get here with the PowerBar Fruit Smoothie Berry Blast flavor, and if you’re an energy bar fanatic looking for something new, this is definitely worth a try at the very least.

I usually get the PowerBar Performance bars and the flavors I typically purchase are Chocolate and Peanut Butter but a) I’m getting tired of those flavors and b) I think PowerBar changed something with the Chocolate as it seems to me to have a more bitter, harsher taste.
As a result of trying to change things up, I gave both the Berry and the Orange flavored bars a try and liked them alot…especially considering that these are protein/energy bars. What can I say? The Berry bar tasted very fruity (almost like Skittles….but not as sweet) and the Orange bar tasted…well, “Orange-y”. I just wish they could lower the fat content (the bars contain 3.5g of fat).
Having said that, they’re still better than any of the other bars I’ve seen that have much higher fat content. I realize that may not be an issue to some readers (lucky you!) depending on your goals and composition but I need to keep close watch on it.
I originally considered only giving this 4-stars due to the price. As of today, these are available significantly cheaper at Wal-Mart; however, that might change in the future and I wanted this review to be product-specific since suppliers and sources at Amazon change with regular frequency.
Hopefully, Amazon’s price for these PowerBars will become more in-line with Amazon’s other low prices…which is why I love Amazon so much.

If you’ve got a sweet tooth - you’re going to love this bar. The fact that this bar is “good for you” - delivers energy that you can taste from the very first bite. It’s chewy - like all Power Bars - and this one is especially sweet in a good way. The best way for me to describe the flavor and consistency is if you’ve ever had gourmet fruit flavor jelly beans that were a little chewy - that’s what this bar taste like.
Bar has 210 calories, sat fat 0.5, trans fat 0.
It gives you 100% daily value of:
Vitamin C, Thiamin, Ribofvalin, Niacin, Biotin, Vitamin B 6. Only drawback is just 6g of protien, 24g sugar, 42g Carb.
If you need something for the sheer energy of it, have a sweet tooth, and need something that’s lasting - my bar has an expiration date of 13 March 09.
If you’re going on a hike, climbing a mountain, riding a bicycle, or are out at sea for a year (like men and women in the Navy) I give this bar for overall taste and energy 5 stars.

i really liked this bar. i am not a big fan of these kinds of bars because they always tasted like a vitamin to me. this one had great flavor and i did feel like it was a mid afternoon pick me up ! it was easy to eat and can be eaten on the run.
i would highly recommend this
