Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 11/10/2026a very classic tasting whey protein bar. very dense. it doesnt taste of much besides whet but i guess there's some molassesy notes. its alright, 5/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 26/09/2026its trying to be a protein twix. novel concept, but its just not good. barely tastes of chocolate or caramel, just a hard to describe protein flavor. and the texture is like styrofoam reconstituted with sap. 4/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 16/09/2026idk why it says "fudge". its trying to dupe barebells' cookies and caramel, and does a decent job, but protein blend comes through stronger and sharper. a bit more "cookies" though. its pretty good but not great, 6/10 001
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 15/09/2026its another puff but this time with a pretty nice cinnamon toast crunch flavor. it still has that signature built puff twang that is a little off putting. overall still good though, 6/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 08/09/2026ive been staring at these in walmart for over a year and i finally bought them. not bad, nice cereal-like texture. fairly sweet, not very chocolatey, and terrible macros, 6/10 001
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 04/09/2026very similar to the brownie batter flavor but a bit milder and sweeter. its nice, 7/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 01/09/2026VERY soft and smooth. ever so slightly gritty but not in a bad way. the name is accurate. its like if you made a paste out of crushed up whoppers and added some protein powder. disgustingly high in saturated fat, but otherwise really good. 8/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 31/08/2026its not giving smores as much as its giving "graham cracker blondie" but its still quite good. similar feelings as the other flavor, maybe a bit better, 7/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 28/08/2026same nice texture. it actually tastes like cookie butter, but kinda mild, and it still tastes like a protein bar, too. its pretty good, but doesnt work quite as well as id hoped, 6/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 27/08/2026very candy bar-like. very chocolatey. not super duper sweet. the protein blend does come through a bit. it says its plant based but nowhere on the label does it say "vegan". not sure what that means but the ingredients list looks clean afaik. i like it! 7/10 130
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 25/08/2026unusually soft for an overload, maybe i just got a lucky batch. its got that same sugariness but now its pb choc flavored. im surprised by how much i like it. its really good, 8/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 24/08/2026these were all over my ig ads and now im seeing them in stores a bunch. thought itd be shit but its pretty good. smells a lot like a hostess cupcake but doesnt quite taste like it. very fudgy texture. very brownie-like. nice job, 7/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 24/08/2026the texture is kinda ok but it mostly just disintegrates and is a bit gritty. it also tastes of nothing. nah, 4/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 21/08/2026same texture as the other frosted cookies, but peanut butter flavored. smells a bit off and tastes ok, 5/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 25/05/2026The saltiness is very subtle but strange in a way that makes taste a little rancid. its still pretty good but its overall kinda bland, 6/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 25/05/2026i always said quest crispy bars taste like cereal bars, so this is a no brainer. it tastes like how you'd expect. a little marshmallow-y too. its really good, 8/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 23/05/2026It's giving brown sugar cinnamon pop tart, but with a firmer texture. If this were softer itd be amazing but its still good, 7/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Calling itself a candy bar sets interesting expectations. It tastes like a protein bar-ified snickers. But, its not amazing and neither are the macros. It's got less protein but atkins caramel nut chew did it better, imo. 6/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 19/05/2026weirdly greasy and bland. and terrible macros. its palatable, 4/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 18/05/2026almost feels like a dup of atkins brownie delight. its basically just a quest overload stacked on a quest crispy. i like it, but its a bit firmer than id like, and im not sure that its greater than the sum of its parts, 7/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 11/04/2026its another power crunch bar. nice texture, quite chocolatey and sweet. bad macros, 7/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 04/04/2026it was a gift. texture is pretty good but a little chalky. its fairly sweet, and the flavor is there, but the way it mixes with the whey ends up tasting like pepto bismol. on the bright side, pepto bismol tastes kinda good. its not saying much but this is the best pure protein bar ive had, 6/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 31/03/2026the left pic is one of my best (and only) pre transitions photos, the right pic is just another tuesday happy #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV 020
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 29/03/2026this post is about a brand of store-bought chocolate chip cookies 010
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 29/03/2026its a sad day when you have to admit you've fallen out of love for something you've held close to your heart for most of your life 110
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 15/03/2026pretty similar to the other flavor. this has the taste and texture of a shitty (read: not sweet) brownie with nuts in it. the salt doesnt really come through. ok macros. vegan. it tastes healthy lol but its not bad, 6/10 020
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 15/03/2026Nice crunchy texture, very similar to the other crunchy protein balls ive had. Chocolatey, sweet, and the caramel flavor comes through but some bites areoverly salty. Horrendous macros. loaded with sugar and sat fat. basically a malted milk ball with extra protein. Tasty, but not worth it 7/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 15/03/2026really great texture. SUPER chocolatey and sweet. really nicely done, 8/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 13/03/2026its not very flavorful, but whats there is nice. texture is very soft, like a semisolid peanut buttee, with some crunchy bits in it. macros are ok but not great. i like it, 6/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 13/03/2026i guess your taste buds need to acclimate to this one or something lol 001
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Great texture. The first bite tasted out really tart and sweet and lemony, but finished with a lot of whey that clashed with the lemon. Subsequent bites finished tasting like froot loops. 7/10 100
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 12/03/2026crazy how getting casually "them'd" can completely ruin your day 100
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 06/02/2026as i keep buying and retasting different bars, ive realized just how different my reaction can be depending on how hungry i am. barebells has turned out to have the biggest swing between 'meh' and 'actually kinda delicious' 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Presumably trying to mimic an almond joy, the onset gets pretty close, but it finishes by just tasting of whey. The texture is oddly firm for a barebells but still not bad, and very smooth instead of gritty like an almond joy. 6/10. would probably be lower if i wasnt really hungry 100
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 05/01/2026the cookies and cream flavor comes through shockingly well. theres teeny little cookie bits that add to the texture but just makes it a little gritty. Still, its basically a cookies and cream flavored marshmallow. Quite tasty, 7/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 02/01/2026Reminds me of an oatmeal chocolate chip breakfast bar I used to have sometimes. It's pretty good overall, but the macros are still really bad. 440 calories for only 16g protein is just not cutting it. Nice try, 6/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 02/01/2026firmer than id like it to be, but still more soft than not, but also not super crunchy. it tastes like a generic peanut butter protein bar. not bad, 5/10 010
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Tastes like a cinnamon flavored marshmallow covered in chocolate. Not much else to say. Quite tasty, 7/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Lemony, but very flat. It's pretty sweet but im not tasting white chocolate. Soft texture with a little bit of crispyness. Meh, 5/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 30/12/2025very nice soft texture and the coconut flavor is pleasantly subtle. kinda smells like sunscreen though but i like it. 6/10 I guess I didnt give built puff bars enough of a chance. turns out the cookie dough flavor was just pretty bad. 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 30/12/2025a little fruity, a little chocolatey, pretty firm and not actually crunchy. its like if the elavi brownie was firm and not tasty. 4/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 29/12/2025pretty generic as far as peanut butter protein bars go, but pretty good texture, 6/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 28/12/2025this one has a way firmer texture. still crunchy though. the blueberry comes through but overall tastes weirdly bitter and just not very good. 3/10 000
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 27/12/2025it has a pretty interesting texture- rather soft but with crispy bits throughout. it tastes mostly of granola and also a little fruity somehow? def not cookie dough but, none of the many many bars ive tried have actually tasted like cookie dough. macros are meh but ive seen way worse. 5/10 100
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 27/12/2025oh look i was literally gifted these for christmas. guess im doing more protein posting 100
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 12/12/2025It's salted on the outside so it realky hits you in the face with that. Then the inside is really soft and chewy, basically tastes like a mildly sweet chocolate covered marshmallow. I think the salt helps bring out the sweetness. Maybe I'm just hungry but this is the best built puff I've tried, 7/10 010
Maria F @mangels3.bsky.social · 12/12/2025For some reason this is flatter and denser than other power crunch bars. It tastes a little bit like cheesecake, and there are some chocolate bits that add to the texture. But overall, doesn't come together quite as well as I hoped. Plus, theres quite a bit more sugar and fat than others. 6/10 010
