2.0 out of 5 stars
Allergy-free but hard as rock., March 27, 2011
This review is from: AllerEnergy Chocolate Chip, 1.4-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) (Health and Beauty)
It is impossible to find a protein bar without dairy or any kind of nut in it. The closest I get is a notice at the end of the ingredient label stating that the bar "may have traces of dairy, peanuts, tree nuts" in it. Unfortunately when you have kids with severe dairy, peanut, and nut allergies, a "maybe"doesn't cut it.
I was really excited when I found out about AllerEnergy, a company whose products are made in a dedicated allergen-free (including gluten-free) facility. Made with brown rice and fortified with vitamins and minerals, AllerEnergy Bars do not contain any of the most common allergens (wheat, milk, egg, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish). In addition, all AllerEnergy products are free of corn, sesame, sunflower, and potato products.
I used Subscribe & Save (had to use my laptop to sign up; not accessible from my smart phone) to save money and eagerly awaited my first box of chocolate chip bars. When they arrived, I immediately ate one hoping that my search for a safe and good protein bar was over.
The bar may be safe but it wasn't very good.
The bar was a hunk of a piece, about 3/4 of an inch thick. It would be tricky for my kids to get their little mouths around but it wouldn't be bad if the bar were soft enough. The bar, however, was really, really hard. I couldn't break the bar without fearing that I'd do some serious damage to my teeth. And after I did manage to break off a chunk with my mouth, I was worried that the hard, sticky rice would either stay glued in the grooves of my molars or rip my fillings out as I tried to grind it down.
Overall, I am pretty disappointed. There needs to be more safe options out here! I'm sad I won't be recommending this product on our GetAllergyWise blog for food-allergic families.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Peanut Free and Delicious !, February 10, 2011
This review is from: AllerEnergy Chocolate Chip, 1.4-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) (Health and Beauty)
I've looked everywhere to find a peanut free energy/protein bar for my son who has peanut allergy. Not until I searched the internet did I find AllerEnergy. My son loves them. I purchased the chocolate chip which tastes like a candy bar. It is not a hard, crunchy type bar but more of a Rice Krispy texture, loaded with vitamins and minerals and 32 grams of carbs for active growing kids or active adults. There are 3 grams of protein and only 1 gram of fat, no fillers, all natural. This is a wholesome and safe snack I can depend on. Thank you amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great value and wonderful for allergy sufferers!, October 3, 2008
I have tried these before since my son is allergic to peanuts. It is hard to find anything that is tasty for quick on the go snacks. This is a super price on Amazon, wonderful these are being offered for the subscribe program. Both of my kids love these. The only reason they did not get 5 stars is that they come apart and crumble soooo easily. Hard for a 2 1/2 yr old to hold on to. That is my only complaint. Wonderful flavor and a great option for allergic folks.
