A few years ago, Good Greens rebranded to become Good! Snacks. They now make a line of Good! Protein Bars that are high in fiber and protein, while remaining gluten-free and vegan. These hefty snacks come in several classic flavors with a hint of indulgence.
Good! Protein Bars are Dense, Sweet, and Dairy Free
I received the Birthday Cake Good! Protein Bar in a VeganCuts Monthly Box. I was so impressed, I decided to request some variety packs to sample. Although I love bars, protein bars aren’t usually my thing. But Good! won me over with these sweet snacks. Here’s a short video clip to give you a better idea of what these bars look like, followed by the individual flavor details, and more helpful info.

For a protein bar, it really is quite good
We tried the Birthday Cake, and both my husband and I thought it was quite tasty. The middle was flavorful with a thick, soft texture, that was definitely like a protein bar, but easy to eat and not very chewy (doesn’t stick to your teeth!). The thin layer of icing was a nice touch, and the overall taste didn’t have any weird sweetener vibes, despite being relatively low in sugar.
We later tried the Cookie, Choc PB, and Lemon flavors. The Cookie one has little cacao nibs throughout. It doesn’t taste just like cookie dough, but we did think it tasted good. It tied with the Birthday Cake as our favorite. The chocolate peanut butter was good. I just wanted it to be a bit more peanut butter in the middle. The Lemon was okay – I’m just not a lemon-flavored bar fanatic. I think if you’re into lemon bars, then this one is worth a try.

I tried these – the chocolate raspberry flavor, specifically – and had an allergic reaction. I’m severely allergic to milk (casein & whey). It wasn’t a major reaction, but it was enough that I only had a few bites of the bar. I emailed the company and they assured me they’re vegan (in not the nicest of ways), but my body told me otherwise. I’m steering clear.
That’s terrible Amie! Thanks for the heads up!
Just tried the pumpkin spice bar! I may have a new favorite. Just the right amount of flavor; not too strong. Thanks Good Greens for creating a great non-dairy, gluten-free snack full of nutrients that also tastes great!
Our local Heinen’s grocery store frequently features these bars in promotions 10/$10.
Thanks for sharing your review Judy!
I like the Chocolate Mint and Chocolate Coconut.
Alisa, do you mind giving your personal rating on my site? I’m always looking for people who actually tried the bars and want to share their opinion.
Thanks a lot!

Wow, greens have never looked so much like candy! I guess that’s one way to get them down for the uninitiated. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for a local sale.
This bar is exactly what I’ve been looking for — dairy free (no whey! yay!), low-glycemic and a healthy alternative to when the sugar cravings try to trip you up. But I’ll have to wait until it grows its market share. Ordering online puts the price per bar around $3.49. Here’s to tasting the sweet rewards of their future success!
Hi Tracie, good news – they are only $1.99 per bar from amazon (with free super saver shipping)! – http://amzn.to/136ifW7
