I bought one of these on a whim and to my surprise I discovered that I absolutely love them! They are tasty, good for me, and have saved me from constipation. TMI, I know, but "perfect poop" people! I saw an gastro about 7 weeks ago who had me on lots of Metamucil and stool softeners. I dont have to take any of that when I eat these. My gut feels balanced - no bloating or irritation (IBS). I'll have try some of the other flavors as well.
They taste really good and have a nice crunch. They are quite small, smaller than the snack bars they sell which is why the caloric content is low. The ingredients are very healthy which matters to me. I did not reorder due to the price. I carry snack bars for hiking and due to its small size, I felt it was expensive otherwise I would have reordered. Recommended for people who don't need to be so frugal.
I'm NOT a fan of chia - can't stand them in puddings, etc., but this is yummy! Nice snack size (some said it's too small, but hello, it's not a meal replacement bar or anything like it), sweet but not full of sugar (4g-5g in each bar). So far I've had the cinnamon apple and the vanilla bars and I could easily eat my way through the entire box. Better than candy and much better for you! Tip: eat the bar and drink a full glass of water. It's definitely filling once the seeds expand.
After trying Health Warrior's Chia Bars in Vanilla Almond, there was no question I would try the Coconut as well when I discovered them. I was not disappointed.
Some time ago, I decided to reform my sugarholic ways and begin eating as healthy as I could. Not only to lose the extra 20 I've been lugging around for about a decade, but to have more stamina and just feel better. These delicious chewy little Coconut Chia Bars helped so much in that goal! I can eat these guilt free, and I no longer crave candy.
I have discovered that the better I eat, the better I feel and I have so much more energy now with healthy snacks from the Health Warrior line. I have searched for years, trying to choke down chalky protein bars I hated, and finally here discovered something that helped me transition from unhealthy to healthy eating. These are just slightly sweet, not overly sweet, and not bland like popular protein bars. They are chewy, and because of the fiber content, they actually help me feel full, too.
Try these coconut chia bars - if you love coconut, you will not be disappointed.
As mentioned in other reviews these bars are pretty tiny. They taste awesome and are packed with chia seeds (I mean packed, bring some floss). I would normally bring 3 to work for a mid-day snack to get me through.

I have very high standard for energy bars. The very simple bar I have is it doesn't make me gag from being sweet or just not palatable. These are good! The chia seeds provide a nice texture, plus the bar is soft and chewy.
The plain chocolate one is my preferred flavor. it tastes like dark chocolate. It's not sweet but not bitter either. That's about it.
The peanut butter in good. Peanut butter is not generally agreeable with me but the item is blended well with the other ingredients. The nutty taste is apparent but it's not overpowering. I actually grabbed this one on the way to gym thinking it was the cherry one. I ate it after still thinking that and side from bemusement as to why I never got a cherry taste I thought it was good. (I looked at the wrapper after.)
My least preferred flavor is the cherry one. It is by no means bad but it was my least favorite. The cherry blends a bit less agreeably than with the peanut butter one. I don't think this will displease anyone unless they really dislike cherry.
These are great snacks for a great variety of "special" diets. Not only are they gluten free and vegan, but they pack plenty of protein and a low net carb count, thanks to the power of the chia seed. I have to knock off one star because the flavor, despite the "real food" claims, comes off as a bit artificial. I've been trying different flavors to find my sweet spot. The coconut ones taste a lot like artificially-sweetened roasted coconut. My favorite so far has been the chocolate peanut butter, but I can also taste a hint of artificial sweetener coming through. But that's really a minor gripe. If you need to satisfy your sweet tooth but don't want a sugar bomb, this is a great option to reach for.
Yes...Health Warrior Chia Bars are on the small side and will only satisfy a few bites. But it's a snack; a good tasting snack. The Dark Chocolate flavor is good. It doesn't taste manufactured sweet. The bars taste fresh & chewy, not stale. The big downside is the pricing. I was lucky enough to get this purchase at a lightning deal price. If you can get a box of 15 under $15, jump on the deal.
These are good bars without a lot of unhealthy stuff in them, but consistently one or two in a box will be hard and dry. Still edible.
I keep these in my desk drawer at work. They are the perfect morning or afternoon snack. Low fat, low calorie, good nutrition for a small bar. And, I think they are tasty. The chia seeds might not be for everyone, and I definitely have to check my teeth after I eat them. However, this is so much better than a candy bar, or even the typical protein bar, which has more calories and fat.
