| These are decent balanced nutrition, and very satisfying. They don't have lots of high GI carbs, so you won't be starving again in an hour... and the protein, fiber and other nutrients provide a reasonably balanced meal (for a bar). The calorie count is a bit high, but nibbling 1/3 or 1/2 of a bar can still be a substantial snack. They are great for carrying into a travel (or consulting) situations, where you don't have a lot of space - but you also don't know when your next real meal will be. As other reviewers have noted, they are best served with a big glass of water. The pumpkin are best tasting, great mouth feel too. The chocolate PB and coconut are OK for variety, but I go through 4X more pumpkin than the others. |

| I love all the zero impact products. I use them all the time. My work is kind of crazy hours and sometimes makes it really difficult to eat healthy. The zero impact bars make it easy for me to eat good and stay lean and strong at the same time while on a on call schedule. I am 44 years young and do not think I would be able to maintain the physique I have if it wasn't for the zero impact products. They are truly awesome:) |

| Tried all the flavors and the pumpkin and roasted coconut are definitely the best, and only ones I eat. A little high in calories if you're on a restricted calorie diet like me, but they are filling enough to make up for it. If they were cheaper I'd make them a permanent part of my diet. |

| These don't taste half bad, and with a glass of water they really fill me up. They have lots of protein, good carbs, and good fats...an ideal meal replacement. Having one for my first meal, a piece of fruit mid morning, and one for lunch with a reasonable dinner and a workout each day is an easy way to lose weight (for me). |

| I prefer the pumpkin bar.
This bar is an excellent meal substitute.
I've used the bar to lower and control my weight with predictable results.
I find that the taste (and chew ability) are improved if the bars are refrigerated. |

| These bars are great! Some of the healthiest ingredients I've seen in protein bars yet. Plus they are filling enough where they hold me over for hours. They taste pretty good too. Highly recommended! |

| Just finished a box of the Pumpkin Supreme. They are very good. Quality ingredients, nutritious, and taste great. Make sure you have something to drink with them though. I really like how just half of a bar fills me up for at least 3 hours, til next meal. I got some more Pumpkin (they don't have a strong pumpkin taste) and some coconut too. |

| Recently, I ordered a box of VPX Pumpkin Supreme bars. I no longer eat soy proteins because soy promotes estrogen increases. Unfortunately, the vast majority of protein bars and ready-to-drink shakes have soy protein in them. The adjective that I would use to describe the flavor of the Pumpkin Supreme bars is "tolerable." In my opinion, they don't have much flavor at all. I don't exactly look forward to eating them post-workout. But, the nutritional content of the bars makes up for the taste. I will continue to eat these bars post-workout and as meal replacements. |

| I have extremely detailed requirements for my protein bars, the most recent of which is NO SOY. That's really, really hard to find! Some of my favorite tasting bars do have soy and I'll miss them - Odwalla Protein, PureFit, etc. Now, Zero Impact fits my current and very strict requirements: no coating and no soy. I like to leave bars in strange places and I do not want to open one and find the "chocolatey layer" all over the bottom of the wrapper. Ick. So the Pumpkin bars are fabulous, packed with whey, non-candybarlike ingredients, and lots of goooooood fat. They are nearly "paleo" in their specs - fabulously filling and the flavor is unique. I'll try the roasted coconut next, but for now Pumpkin is fantastic and I will keep buying them as full meal replacement or as a snack (1/2 bar at a time). For 220 cal, a half bar is dirt cheap for the quality of ingredients used! |

| Awesome bar, perfect for snowboarding because it doesn't fully freeze due to the fat content. I haven't seen any other bar on the market that gives you pumpkin and yams, two good sources of complex carbs.

| Hands down this is the best tasting bar EVER. I've been a figure/fitness competitor for a few years, and believe me, I've eaten A LOT of protein bars. Even though the fat content is high, it's the perfect meal replacement because it satisfies and gives you plenty of energy. Pumpkin is the best! Followed by the chocolate/peanut butter. Haven't tried coconut. |

| These bars taste like a pumpkin bar cookie -- very dense, with just enough sweetness. Also, they're NOT coated in anything! No chocolate or white "yogurt" coating -- finally! (we need more like this!) I eat half of one with a cup of tea as an afternoon snack, and it's very satisfying. |

| My wife and I really find this one of the best protein bars on the market, at least for us. We don't like a lot of the bars on the market place because they are more like a super sweet candy bar. The zero impact bar does a great job of "lasting" for hours giving a nice and even balance of energy. |

| Very tasty, smooth, not sticky or gritty at all. But more importantly, delicious. This is the best high-protein bar out there. |

| Who knew that a bar can be so wholesome and rich.
It's perfect for Snowboarding and does not have artificial sweeteners or a long list of chemicals I can't even pronounce.
A+++ |

| Great product. They're actually made of stuff you don't mind putting into your body. Pumpkin is definitely the way to go. They're a bit dry, so have some water on hand. Don't let the fat content scare you away. After a few bars, you'll actually start to crave 'em. |
