Atkins brand

I like some of the bars, especially s'mores flavor and chocolate almond. I
also like the steak sauce and BBQ sauce. The bread mixes are great, my
husband now likes them better than "real" bread. The shake mixes are OK,
except "cappuccino." Most other Atkins stuff I have bought is pretty nasty.
I think the prices are generally comparable to the other big LC brands like
Keto.

No. I've tried about 3 items and they all sucked. And, at $4-6 per
item, it was a real pill to toss them out. But, I did. They're that
bad. I'll buy no more.

I LOVE the peanut butter and chocolate Advantage bars. My husband loves
the Morning Start Bars.

The only thing I've liked (and admittedly, I've only tried a few things
because I'm trying to stay away from this stuff) is Atkins' "Endulge" bar
in chocolate/peanut butter flavor. It was too good; I wanted to eat 10 of
them! So I won't buy them again. Besides, it was tiny for the price I
paid.

I've tried some of the bars, and they're pretty gross. They taste like
chewing a vitamin pill. The exception is the breakfast bars. I started
with the Creamy Cinnamon Bun bars and I love them. I always keep a box
handy since they're sweet, they really cut cravings when I just NEED
something that tastes sweet. The bake mix is great, too. I love using it
to make batter for frying so everyone else is happy too (they don't even
know they're eating low-carb!!! )

Everyone's tastes are different so it's just a matter of biting the bullet
and forking out the cash to try the different bars or mixes or whatever to
find out which ones you like and which ones are totally gross.

I also think that the awful taste comes from trying to force so many
required nutrients (and so much of the daily requirements) into the bars,
IMHO.

Hope this helps

I've only tried some of the bars, I'm not sure which ones they are (the
name), but they aren't the meal bars. They are more like the snacks. I've
had a peanut butter, a mint, the peanut butter cups, and a peanut caramel I
think. All of them are good to me, but like someone else said, I want to
eat 10 of them. The peanut butter and mint ones are similar to kit kats to
me. I think they are great. I've also and the cinnamon whatever breakfast
bars, they are good, but not my favorite. I haven't tried anything else
(breads, muffins, brownies, etc), haven't been able to turn loose of the
money yet!

LOL.. those are sooo good.. The peanut butter ones and the mint ones..
yummmm.. I think it's probably one of those blessings in disguise that they
are rather expensive.. it keeps you from eating too many, lol.

I'd like to amend my earlier post. I have tried the peanut butter cups and
other snack items without the added nutritional stuff and they were great.
It's really just the meal bars that I personally thought were gross.
