I would highly recommend this product. The taste is great. Great alternative to wheat based proteins!

It's not the cricket flour that makes it taste like dirt from the rain forest. Just a bad recipe. Gave it a 3 star because it served it's purpose. It freaked out my Son when I told him what he just ate.. Mission accomplished.

Like the bar but, I’m bummed the sister bar is titled Girl Power it’s a weight loss Chicory Spirulina bar. I’d buy more but, I can’t support a child gurl weight loss bar. Kinda stupid. They could have titled it as anything else to attract all buyers including men. I definitely wouldn’t title a protein bar for child weight loss or even women’s weight loss. It would have been a good bar for regular use.

These bars have a great taste and are easy on the stomach for sporting events or hiking.

This isn't gourmet food, it's a challenge. The texture is fine, a little floury. Only complaint is it tastes like there's too much spice in them. They are very healthy. I ate a few and gave some to people at work.

This bar is awesome. It's low in fat, high in protein and tastes like grandma's apple cinnamon pie.

I was intrigued by the cricket protein, even though the ingredients only include 7% cricket flour. I was not scared of the bugs, nor were the other three people who sampled the first bar with me. However, we all agreed that we won't be eating any more of these. It's not the cricket protein that's the problem, but the overall dryness of the bars. The apple and cinnamon flavors shine through and are quite good, but we just couldn't tolerate the texture.

First of all, the question that brought you to the reviews: no, they don't obviously taste like crickets.With that out of the way: these are only okay. High density, chewy "healthy" protein bars. But apart from conversational interest, they're pretty meh. Very chewy and dense like old-timey power bars, tasting overpoweringly of dates, with sort of a funny lingering aftertaste. Make sure to wash it down with plenty of water...So, they DON'T taste like crickets, which other sources say usually have a "muddy" or "earthy" flavor (or in Mexican cooking, are heavily seasoned to essentially to taste like salty crunchy things).What they DO taste like is a mix of mild spice, apples, and (especially) dates. Cricket flour is just 7% of the total and presumably the processing (to make "flour") also removes whatever cricket parts would be strongly flavored.Other thoughts: crickets are amongst the cheapest protein source to raise. I'm surprised at the gimmicky high price of a box of these.It's important we discuss animal protein sources. The lower we eat on the food chain, the more likely we can sustain it planet-wide. And anything that moves that particular conversation further along is worthwhile. But I'd like to see less niche gimmick and more niche "could be main-stream".
