Not too long ago I was approached by thinkThin® to see if I’d be interested in sampling a few of their bars and doing a giveaway. Perfect timing because I had read about them on a blog and a few weeks earlier and went to Whole Foods seeking them out! You can buy them in boxes or in singles. I grabbed the Dark Chocolate and Brownie Crunch Protein Bars. The bars are about 230 calories each, which is a little high for me, but they have 20 grams of protein per bar! So it’s a tradeoff I’m happy to make. Plus you can sub one of these for a meal on the go. I was driving to my mom’s one afternoon and didn’t have time to sit and eat lunch, so I grabbed a bar to eat in the car. Perfect! I really enjoyed both flavors. They’re very chocolatey (bonus!) and the high protein left me pretty satisfied. thinkThin® sent me three boxes of their bars to sample and I was pretty excited to try new flavors and the Crunch variety.
So, how’s it taste?
I received a box of their Creamy Peanut Butter Protein Bars. These are in the same line of the two I had tried before. This one was peanut buttery, but I wouldn’t call it creamy. It still has the texture of a protein bar. I didn’t love this flavor as much as I had enjoyed the other two. It does taste like peanut butter, but it also has a vitamin-y background to it. It is a protein bar after all! Not my personal favorite, but not bad. When I’m looking for a snack to keep me full until lunch or dinner, I cut these bars in half for a quick pick-me-up. It’s surprising how filling one little bar is!
Next I tried a bar in their Crunch line, the Blueberry Mixed Nuts. Not quite as many calories at 180 and I loved how crunchy they were. The blueberry was really good and a nice balance to the nutty flavor.
The best I saved for last. Another in the Crunch line, Coconut Chocolate Mixed Nuts, rocked my world! I have to hold myself back from eating the entire box. I love coconut and chocolate and this one tasted just like a candy bar. I’m a big fan!
So all in all I really like their products. The best part? They’re non-GMO, gluten free, and natural! Even thought their name is thinkThin®, I would be interested in these even without being interested in weight loss or weight management. They’re perfect to keep in your desk drawer at work or anywhere you need a quick snack or a meal on-the-go.
The nice folks at thinkThin® want you to enjoy their bars, too! I’m giving away a Wellness Box to one lucky reader!

Disclaimer: I was sent a box each of the Creamy Peanut Butter Protein Bars, Blueberry Mixed Nuts Crunch bars, and Coconut Chocolate Mixed Nuts Crunch bars for review. I was not compensated for this post. All opinions are solely my own, as always.
I’d like to try ’em because I’ll have a newborn hanging around the house + need all the easy, quick snacks + meals I can get! =)
I would love to try them – I need something to carry in my bag for a quick snack.
I love anything with lots of protein!
Oh man, as a new mom these would be right up my ally. 1) I’m trying to lose baby weight so I need a high protein yet still delicous snack 2) I need something I can eat quick and on the go!
These bars are nice to have on hand for a quick pick-me-up. Cutting them in half is a great idea. Didn’t think of it. I like crunchy – Coconut Chocolate bars. Thanks
I’m always looking for a quick on the go breakfast and these seem perfect! The high amount of protein is an added bonus as I have a hard time eating a sufficient amount of protein in the mornings.
I love finding new, healthy bars that are gluten-free… these sound delicious!
These sound like a great on-the-go meal, something I could really use in my busy life!
I’d like to try them because I am seriously lacking in my protein intake (and I so love peanut butter)!
chocolate pbutter of course!
I would love to win this package to help me get through the day. I love something to munch on and satisfy me, these look great for that!!
I’m always so busy getting my kids out the door, I forget to eat! These would be perfect!
I’d love to try them because I need to get lots of protein since I am pregnant!
These bars look so delicious, Leah! I have yet to find a protein bar that I really like, so I’d love to give these a try for before & after workouts. I always rummage for snacks and don’t come up with the best options, I think. Thanks for sharing!
I love protein bars for a quick snack. The flavors sound great!
They look good..chocolate, coconut, mixed nuts! Yummy!
Being a lover of snack type (or meal bars) and anything with sufficient protein in particular, these sound like the answer to my prayers. At 70 years of age, I have been searching for a long time for something satisfying, filling and healthy. THINK THIN bars sound like they might be the answer I have been looking for. Anxious to try them.
I love ThinkThin bars. My favorites are the new coconut chocolate crunch bars and the peanut butter protein bars. But I would love to try the toffee nut minis, the white chocolate, and the cookies and cream flavors!

I would love to win! I am trying to lose that last pesky 10 lbs. while my husband is in Afghanistan and I am a major snacker…I have a feeling these would do the trick 😉
I’m hypoglycemic, so I’m always looking for yummy snacks I can keep around to prevent blood sugar drops in between meals. These look really good!
I love ThinkThin bars! My current fave is the ThinkThin Crunch in “caramel chocolate dipped mixed nuts”. It’s absolutely delicious and doesn’t taste like a “protein bar” at all! I love these for post-workout or a mid-afternoon snack with a coffee or tea. Would love to win!

I love the crunchy peanut butter bars but the coconut chocolate mixed nuts sounds amazing!

These would certainly be handy to take with me to the gym for a protein boost after my workout. I’d enjoy the ThinkThin Blueberry Crunch the most. Thanks!
I would enjoy trying ThinkThin bars as a wonderful way to get more protein in my daily diet! These would make a convenient breakfast for me at work too on those busy mornings. I’d love to try the Blueberry Mixed Nuts!
I’m following you and tweeted via @serene_streams!

I love Think Thin! They’re great for on-the-go meals. Peanut Butter is my favorite.
ThinkThin is a great meal on the go as it’s loaded with protein and perfect for traveling! My favorite is Blueberry with Mixed Nuts.
I would want to try these because I am wanting to loose weight and one of my biggest problems is snacking and avoiding sweets.
I’m always trying to fit more protein into my diet. These would be great on the go!
I’d love to try these because I’m a baker/pastry chef and I need a healthy and filling snack(and low sugar) to help me through my ten hour baking shifts. I need more healthy choices so that I don’t reach for a cinnamon roll!
I tweeted too!! 🙂
