Orgain - Organic Protein Plant Based Bar Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 12 Bars

I’ve tried so many different protein bars over the years, and this is by far my favorite! I love the texture and that it has chocolate chips in it. It really does tastes like cookie dough (unlike other ones I’ve tried that tasted nasty). I ate 2 in a row and had to stop. I bought the peanut butter chocolate chunk after trying these, and they are good (the brownie ones are gross). I’m hooked now! I wish they were a bigger size though. They are pretty small, but they can’t be too big since it would be more calories…

Great

I like any of the Orgain protein bars of this style. Has a good texture, and is not too sweet. This one definitely reminds me of cookie dough, so they did a good job with it. The initial bite has that protein taste though. Seems to simmer down with more bites. Something unique about these bars that I like. Mixed reviews, but I decided to give them a try anyway because I like Orgain products, AND it was on sale, bringing it closer to $1 per bar. I bought the S'mores, and I find them incredible. Then I bought this Chocolate Chip Cookie dough, and it tastes like cookie dough, and the texture too. Like the cookie dough you can get in rolls in the refridgerated sections. But slightly more firm for handling. Very interesting. As with the Smores option, here too I expected a strong protein taste, and at first I did taste a little of that. But I think the initial opening of the packet released some off gassing, and so my first bite seemed to taste protein-y. However, the rest of it was divine. I didnt gobble it all down at once. Remainder of my review is the same as my review for the smores option, so I will just copy it over here. I tend to chomp on these through my work day, so I take a bite then set aside for awhile, then return to it as needed. I work a physical job and so it isn't easy to just eat a meal. I also need something that can stick to my ribs. I was really pleasantly surprised that I could eat just this and get through my day. I think I had an apple (cut up for same ease of munching) along side it. It wasn't a fluke, because i did it again the next work day, and had same results. So the protein used is a long burner. Coffee, orgain bar, sliced up apple. All good. All day. Taste? good. Not too sweet Texture? awesome. Has a good chew. If warm (like sitting in car) it gets a little goey, but it stays solid- no mess. I like the bits of chocolate. Adds good mouth feel. I'm a big fan of loading up my purse with snack bars-- again, I work a physical job with no real breaks. I like knowing I have something to nibble on as need be. I would also grab for this when I want something candy bar like, and not worry about taking the sugar hit. I just find it all around pleasant, and will likely buy it again (though preferably on sale), and likely try other flavors.

I've reordered these many times because I really like these bars, but they're not perfect. I like them because they satisfy my sweet tooth for relatively few calories and provide some protein. All three of those things are important considerations for me since I had weight loss surgery. On the down side, they're pretty gritty. That's partly due to the "crisps" and partly due to the protein powder I'm sure, so it's to be expected. The other issue is that the taste and texture vary considerably from batch to batch. I suspect this is a good thing because it reflects the fact that these aren't rolling off an industrial production line, stuffed full of additives and preservatives, but it means that sometimes it's different (and worse than usual). This particular order is darker in color and leaves an aftertaste that I really don't like. However, the chocolate chips and the slight chewiness are yummy. I'll definitely be ordering again, but I'm hoping that the taste change isn't due to a reformulation. If it is, I'll have to find a new treat.

The bars are smaller than expected & are just ok. They’re not horrible, but there are other brands that are better. I will eat them, but won’t be my go to in the future. They’re a little dense & you can definitely tell not the best quality.
