WAKE UP! Caffeinated Cinnamon Crunch Protein Bites - Gluten Free, Vegetarian, 175mg Caffeine (1 Bite = 1.5 Espressos) - Boosts Focus and Clarity - Kosher Ingredients - 8 Pack

I have been looking for the most reliable source of energy food I can find. WakeUP! Bars fill the bill. The first day I got my box, I ate a whole bar at once and spoke faster, more clearly, and with better pronunciation than I knew was possible. And the energy lasted on into the evening. THe thing I really loved was no after-effects, as i have run into with some of the other products I've tried. (My job requires I talk on the phone all day long, so that skill is vital to my livelihood!)Currently I nibble at them - one bar lasts me 3-4 days and that helps keep my available energy at the optimum level to do my job day after day. I really like the taste and I now keep an extra box on hand so i don't run out. I have tried only the one flavor, but I look forward to trying the others as time goes by.

First of all, these are just straight up delicious treats. I would very happily eat them even if they had no caffeine at all. They are a bit sweeter than the usual chocolate (or other) candy or bar type items that I eat, but for instance, when I make cookies for myself I generally cut the sweetener down by 1/3-1/4 of what most recipes call for. I don't think they're much sweeter than, say, a Luna bar (which is actually the closest comparison to these that I can think of) or a Kind bar. They are wonderfully crispy, just the right amount of chewy, and the chocolate flavor is very well balanced to the other flavors, the chocolate really comes through very well.And even better, the caffeine content is great. I have a high tolerance for caffeine, it really takes a lot to affect me. A Mountain Dew gives me more of a sugar rush than a caffeine boost (resulting in a crash, of course). I don't bother with energy drinks that have less than 240 mg caffeine, and I really prefer 300. But, energy drinks have their own issues- I am very averse to the taste of Sucralose and it is very difficult to find energy drinks that don't contain any. Especially the ones that are higher in caffeine content, which tend to be sweetened exclusively with Sucralose and other artificial sweeteners that I just can't stomach. They also have the issue of portability, etc. I also tried some gummies with a high caffeine content, which were very tasty and they were effective, but not as much as these bars. I would put the gummies on the same level as energy drinks or coffee, effectiveness wise.So, these bars are ideal for me. They have very low calories, and for whatever metabolic/digestive reasons, I feel the effect of these bars much more rapidly than the effect from energy drinks, coffee, caffeine pills, etc. with the same amount of caffeine. When I got my first box of these to try them out, I ate a bar and ended up deep cleaning my whole house and then planting some seeds that I had been putting off because it involved getting the pots ready, lugging around bags of soil, etc. Then I went for a considerably longer, brisker walk than I thought I was even capable of (I have health issues as well, which is part of the reason that I need caffeine just to have enough energy to function at all), groomed my dogs, and did laundry. Even an energy drink with 300 mg of caffeine, or a large mocha coffee with 4 extra shots of espresso (in addition to the 2 that are standard from the coffee shop that I patronize), doesn't affect me that strongly, regardless of how quickly I drink it.Also, the seller is great. Shipping is prompt, packing is secure, and even in June there was no melting or other damage to the product.In short- great taste, wonderfully effective, and the seller is great.I really can't recommend these highly enough. When I bought my first box of them to try out, I had one the first day. I then bought two more boxes of them, because I definitely enjoy them and will be having them regularly, and I wanted to be sure to have some on hand in case the price rose significantly or they sold out.

These bars are great for early morning pick me ups before work. No crash and so far every flavor has been good. Soy free and a great healthy alternative to all the energy junk out there.

We did a 20 mile hike and these bars kept the energy up. One item of note: Be very careful taking pain meds like Advil/Tylenol and these bars, for me it did upset my stomach greatly. So if your body is sensitive like mine was, please eat more before and/or during your endurance activity. This was not the bar's fault, it was my fault. The bars taste good, and pack well. I will try these again, I will just eater smarter.

I started using these caffeine bars a couple of years ago because I was having trouble staying fully awake while highway driving during the night for several hours at a time. Now I take them with me whenever I have a long drive ahead and consume one as soon as I start feeling tired. They do an amazing job restoring my energy level and wakefulness. And they just taste great! Ever since I started using them I no longer have a problem feeling tired and in need of a nap. Recommended.

Update: Had an initial issue with delivery, but the manufacturer is very on point with quality control and service! Excellent company.The texture is on point and the presentation is nice. The bars are like a perfect snack size. They held up well being delivered in high summer heat so I think they would be good for travel.Initial bite was pleasant with a nice flavor, not too heavy on the peanut butter just good balance.There is a bit of a strong aftertaste, but not terrible. May have been the result of sitting in our extreme Florida summer heat.Other than that I think they are on track to a good product.

The small bites are advertised as 175mg and the full bars are advertised containing 350mg(according to the Amazon listing). On the box, it says the full bars contain 250mg. This was a bit disappointing as I didn’t get what the listing said. Are there any full bars that contain 350mg or do the Amazon listings just need to be updated with the lower amount?

These bars are wonderful. I appreciate that they don't taste like I just sucked on a coffee, but instead a refreshing bar with a hint of coffee. The chocolate on the outside makes the bar come together nicely. I am going to always have these in stock for those afternoons when I feel like I can't it through. One more thing, no caffeine jitters either! The peanut butter is my favorite!

Great and powerful and quite bowel inspiring!!

I eat half of the bar instead of having coffee before getting into the car, before my long commute to work (over 1.5hrs). It works wonders as there's no need for a toilet break which is nearly unavoidable after drinking coffee. 5 stars!

I must say though they look small, these bars do definitely serve the purpose for which they where intended... And they taste like the best, fresh, crunchy energy boost I have come across to date. I share 1/2 a bar with me today✅, then I share the other half with me tomorrow.. (no one else)😉 Do not eat these bars on an empty stomach! Even coffee can upset an empty stomach... after my morning cereal or, toast. I share my WakeUp Bar with me. Then I go about my day with a twinkle in my toes,. I definitely do more then just think about what I need to get done, before I realize I'm in motion.. And believe me with my muscle issues of aches and, pains these bars do for sure boost my energy. I will repurchase, I would suggest giving them a try to anyone whom likes coffee but can do without the full bladder effect that coffee gives a person for hours after drinking it. I will be enjoying these bars in days to come for sure.. I do share with my hubby, I bought him his own box😘...

I really like these, they taste really good, small little bites and 10 in one box. They are individually wrapped so great on the go.They are quite rich so it makes up for being so small. One of these is equally to one espresso and a half which is insane and you should be careful not to eat too many of them. They have quite a strong coffee aftertaste but I love coffee.What I really like is that they are wrapped in chocolate which makes them absolutely delicious but on the inside they are very crunchy. At 55kcal per bite, they’re great for dieting and for a pre-workout snack as they definitely pack a punch.They certainly satisfy my sweet tooth and and something I look forward to each day before my workout.

I am an entrepreneur and a mom to a 7 month old and you can only imagine how busy my life is! Sleep is an absolute luxury and believe it or not so is finishing up a cup of coffee! (Moms our there will relate) so when I saw this product I figured why not let me give it a shot, at least it won’t get cold while I’m trying to consume it! I was expecting a taste similar to energy bars that are loaded with carp* (I am not dyslexic, just polite) but I was very pleasantly surprised to find this bar absolutely delicious! Unlike other such bars, you wish that the yummy taste of dark chocolate would just stay all day!! It is also quite effective and does deliver the promise of 3 espresso shots! I was quite the energizer bunny all day. So if you want something tasty that can help you wake up, then this bar delivers!
