Mild Flavor, pleasing texture.
This does not have a strong coconut taste, but it is quite good. It kind of tastes like a Bit O Honey candy with coconut. It is filling despite it not being that big. I look forward to trying the other flavors. The texture is chewy, but not stick to your teeth chewy.

TruBar=Best vegan bar with no sugar alcohols 💪
Is your stomach sensitive to sugar alcohols? I didn’t know mine was until my doc got me on protein supplements. I was stoked to find a vegan protein bar that legit tasted like a candybar (rhymes with “hissfit”)…until a few hours later.Horrific gas. Thank god I work out at home, bc a gym woulda thrown out my stankbomb self. All that to say: turns out sugar alcohols (like mannitol, erythritol, other -tols) aren’t digestible by most people and produce copious amounts of sulfurous gas. FUN 🙃Was that TMI? Yes. But I hope it convinced you why it’s such a big deal that TruBar has NO SUGAR ALCOHOLS! For 190 cals and 12g of protein, these are awesome as post-workout or nighttime snacks. I’ve tried the ‘Donuts’, ‘Cookie Dough’, ‘Cocoa Coconut”, and “Cookies & Cream” flavors so far: all have a pleasant texture. They’re soft instead of hard and chalky, no taffy-like consistency of the old-school Powerbars. I tend toward the “dipped” or “frosted” flavors since I unashamedly love sweet stuff, but no one would mistake a TruBar for candy.The “Cocoa Coconut” flavor has coconut flakes and legit reminds me of a mounds bar. The two cookie flavors I’ve tried taste the most proteinaceous. The frosted “Donut” flavor is the one that initially hooked me on TruBar: the frosting cancels out the taste of vegan protein powder.Do I wish they were cheaper? Ofc; but I don’t mind paying more for a vegan protein bar (made by a woman-owned company!) that tastes good, helps me meet my protein goals and doesn’t have any negative impact on my digestion. 100% worth the price. Without supplementation and exercise, women lose 1-2% of our muscle mass every decade after 40; TruBar is an easy way to get the protein we need without surplus calories or terrible gas. Looking forward to trying other flavors!

My Personal Review
these are really good & enjoyable :) didn’t come melted or anything like that! the sprinkles do get everywhere lmaoo, good size, pretty decent amount of protein, & very convenient for on the go or just a snack after dinner! the flavor is very strange & different but its not terrible. I LOVEEEE how much iron is in these newer flavors like the bday cake, c&c, & the coconut one! i hope they add these bars for 12 pack & make more bars with more iron like these :) i have really low iron & i just found out how high these flavors are so i will be eating these more for sure :D

New TruBar flavors are true to description and good
Cookies and Creme: flavor matches description well. Exterior is vanilla ice cream like glaze, interior is chocolate cookie with lots of bits (I think rice puffs?). Very good in my opinion.Birthday cake: flavor matches description well. Exterior is frosting like like glaze, interior is cake batter like, no bits. Very, very good in my opinion - my personal favorite flavor.Strawberry shortcake: flavor matches description well. Exterior is vanilla cream like exterior, interior is between cake batter and shortcake with some bits (freeze dried strawberries?). Strawberry flavor is present but far from overwhelming. Good in my opinion - I like but don't love strawberries.

Finally, a really good, balanced, great tasting protein bar.
These are so delicious. Not too sweet, more fiber than sugar - which I appreciate, no sugar alcohols, the protein is on point and the flavors are great. The texture is like fluffy chewy caramel - so much better than most other protein bars. My stomach doesn’t feel like I just ate a brick, I’m buying more ASAP.

Yum
My vegan daughter loved this flavor. She claimed it tasted like her favorite toaster pastry “Hot fudge Sundae” we ended up getting the coconut ones and birthday cake after reading more reviews. I’ll have to update once she tries the new flavors.REVIEW UPDATE:Tried the Birthday Cake and Coconut ones finally and have major thoughts! The birthday cakes ones sadly tasted artificial and were tossed upon trying. I even gave it to two other members of the family who had the same opinion, immediately spitting it out in disgust. The flavor was nothing like a birthday cake. However, the coconut ones are decent. Not as good as cookies and Creme, but if you like coconut, you’ll definitely like these. I gave a bar to my wife to try and she thought it had a sunscreen taste, but to me, it was very much a strong coconut; so taste is subjective. Out of the three I tried, I highly recommend the Cookies and Creme. I do not recommend the Birthday Cake to anyone (even my worst enemy)

Yes and yes!!!!
Okay I finally decided to order this and soooo happy I did. The Trubar flavors all have a very mild taste to them and I read on someone review that it needed more coconut. I love coconut even if its mild. These definitely have coconut in them enough to satisfy my taste buds. My favorite flavor so far with strawberry one placing second and cookie dough placing 3rd. And the PB&J placing last because my taste buds just don't pick up on the pb&j. But these coconut do taste like a macaroon. Put them in the fridge. The strawberry is a hint of strawberry again nothing overly sweet but you can taste it

Good lower carb snack
The pbj is the best of the trubar tastes in my opinion. They are chewy . Some flavors are very satisfying for the sweet tooth. These bars can be a bit expensive. I spend the money because of the low sugar content. Pretty flavorful. I recommend if you do low carb diet and need a something sweet.
