PERFECT PROTEIN SNACK

by No Nonsense from on 2010-08-15
These snacks are great! The natural flavor is a lot like the Slim Jims we ate as kids. Only these are healthier! Great to carry in purse to keep sugar from getting low while on the run. Also, my job has me on my feet with no breaks! It's easy to grab one and enjoy it to keep going. Low in fat and calories but high in protein. Forget that mid day sugary candy bar. Grab on of these! A no-guilt snack!

Yummy Yummy!!

by Kristoffe J. Karlson from Naperville, IL USA on 2010-08-03
These are quite tasty and by far the leanest, highest protein you will find. Great price as well! They are twice as big as a Slim Jim too, just WAYYYY healthier :)

Love These

by Susan from on 2010-08-03
These taste great, and are very low in fat compared to other beef sticks. They are very low in calories, and most of the calories come from protein. I have used these while hiking, and usually keep a few in my car for a healthy snack so I am not tempted to go get fast food.

Pure goodness

by TJ from on 2010-07-25
These things are like crack. Seriously. I can't get enough. Forget about Slim Jims or regular beef jerky. These are the real deal. Great as a pre or post workout snack. I just wish they were cheaper so I could buy a year's supply right now!

Ostritch and My Tummy Are Friends

by J. Niewiadowski from TX on 2010-07-21
I have to agree with the other reviewers! These are excellent and difficult to stop eating! I'm not even that fat and I want to eat the whole box in one sitting! What a great jerky snack!

tasty but high fat content

by V. Wong from on 2010-07-13
Compared to other protein bars, this one tastes the best. It is not chalky. It is easy to eat. Not too sweet like some "energy" bars. However, almost half of the calories is from fat and the protein content is lesser than other protein bars. Maybe as a snack. Definitely not a protein supplement.

Yummy

by Alicia from on 2007-03-09
I love this protein snack bar. Tastes more like a candy bar than a protein bar and is easy to eat, easy to digest and a very quick & satisfying snack. I use it as a meal replacement or a fast way to stop my chocolate cravings. Love it.

These are the best tasting protein bar!

by Madison Avenue from on 2010-09-08
I could not believe it when i tasted a think thin bar for the first time. These are delicious, high in protein and NO sugar! They taste fantastic, although I have read a few reviews that say the amazon ones came grey and taste gross. SO if you have never tried these, maybe you should buy ONE first. (they have them at Fred Meyer). And if you do order them off amazon, they should not be grey. It should look like chocolate!

Ok if you need gluten free, otherwise I would pass

by A. Gray from Central IL on 2010-08-30
I bought a couple boxes of these (Creamy Peanut Butter) when Amazon had them on their gold box deals. I was looking for a protein bar to use after strength training workouts and thought I would give these a try after seeing some reviews. Wow, I am surprised these get as high of reviews as they do. Don't get me wrong, these bars have a place for those who need gluten-free or for those looking for a meal replacement and don't want to feel hungry, but if you are looking for a protein bar, there are much better choices out there that taste 20 times better. I'm guessing there are also better tasting bars out there for meal replacement, but I haven't been in search of that so don't know.These bars are somewhat waxy on the outside (faux chocolate seems like), but I was willing to overlook this as a lot of protein bars on the market suffer from a similar fate. It didn't help that these had overheated at some point in Amazon's hands and the outside was chalky but other than looks, this didn't matter so much. The inside of this bar, well.....it just leaves a funky after taste (distinctly whey protein). It wasn't different than the protein bars I had tried five years ago, but it's nowhere near some of the other protein bars on the market. I didn't find the bar disgusting although I've seen reviews on the Internet where many people couldn't eat them. I could eat it without thinking it was horrible, but I found at times that I just keep eating and eating and the bar never disappeared...seemed a chore to keep eating. It is an extremely filling bar thus why I recommend possibly for meal replacement. Since it has 230 calories, it was a little too much for me to eat as a post workout snack. I have found that I can buy Pure Protein bars that have the same amount of protein and range from 180 to 200 calories however they are slightly smaller bars (1.76oz). The taste of the Pure Protein peanut bars is the closest thing I've tasted to an actual candy bar without a lot of sugar (they have 2g). I find it hard to believe people say the ThinkThin Creamy Peanut Butter bars are like a candy bar....wow, I think perhaps people need to try some other bars for comparison because you don't really know what to expect until you've tried a few others.If you need gluten-free or are looking for a meal replacement, these are ok, but I think you can do better with other products. I'm looking forward to finishing up my last box of these so I can start eating my Pure Protein Revolution Chocolate Peanut Caramel bars and actual enjoy eating them and get less calories with the same amount of protein.

Horrible, Horrible Quality

by Jamie from on 2010-08-28
I love Think Thin bars and have ordered them many times before. The ones I bought from Amazon were HORRIBLE! The chocolate was literally a grey color - as if they are expired or old. I thought the price was too good to be true and it definitely was.

Yuck!

by Wanda Adkison from Houston, TX on 2010-08-26
These were so bad, i didn't even get half-way through the bar. I've been told perhaps it was because of a bad shipment from Amazon, but they were gritty, and had a terrible chemical aftertaste.

Chocolate showed evidence of sitting in the heat for too long

by sphilips from on 2010-08-23
I love these little bars. The creamy peanut butter is delicious! However, ordering 10 of them from Amazon.com is not going to work for me. The bars had obviously sat in the heat, the chocolate had turned white and the peanut butter filling was dried out. Very disappointing, as they were much cheaper than buying them at Trader Joe's.

Good shake mix

by F. Albertson from Indy on 2010-08-07
Good shake mix. Mix with ice, water, 1 egg, whipping cream, splenda and peanut butter.

I Like It!

by Truth Teller from on 2010-03-04
I started with Carb Solutions, and since have tried two more brands (all vanilla), to compare what's available. I already knew that I like the Atkins shakes, which are in a convenient can. I liked the Carb Solutions and Atkins shakes equally. No aftertaste with either, and I actually do prefer a powder at home, with the blender. I did not like the other two powders.I first tried Carb Solutions just stirred into water with a spoon, and it stirred up very well, but not as well as the blender, of course, which also gives it a little froth. It tastes very good and curbs my hunger very well. Sucralose doesn't give me an aftertaste. I haven't yet tried with ice cubes, but I've added berries, bananas, peanut butter (no sugar), vanilla, espresso or blackberry powder (for my eyes).My decision is to let Carb Solutions be my mainstay at home for milk type shakes. Atkins for take with. I also have a greens, vegetables and fruit powder, as well as blackberry powder, and a joints supplement powder that I will blend with fresh fruits and vegetables, for a change.I allow myself to drink as much as I want of this type of drink and am losing weight. Currently no white carbs is my only rule. I added the drinks to give me a kind of treat, but I find that in the evening, it's all I want - 1 or 2 of these. Keeps me from going whole hog when making a meal, too.One warning, be careful if you are allergic to some of the types of additives in any of this type of drink. Read the label. Do the research.

0 STARS! Read the FINE PRINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by Jerry Miller from Baltimore, MD on 2008-08-14
Sucralose (Spleccccchhhhhda) and PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED canola oil. TRANS FAT, in other words. Yeah, the Repuke-controlled FDA doesn't require anything less than 1 g of trans fat PER SERVING to appear in the nutritional information, so the scamsters just MAKE THE SERVINGS SMALLER!

WAY overpriced

by eec from on 2008-01-13
This product is tolerable (if you make with cream for those on Atkins, or milk for those not), but it is $10-$12 cheaper at the grocery store.

Why is Amazon price so high?

by Susan Woodall from on 2008-01-01
Why does Amazon charge $31 a can for this mix? You can buy it from Drugstore.com for $12 a can!! If you have a GNC gold card, you can get it for $10 a can during the first week of each month!!! This is a great protein shake mix. I mix this powder 50/50 with Dymatize Elite whey protein powder, then after adding water, I mix that with a low carb Slim Fast chocolate shake.........probably too much trouble for most people, but it's great for me :-) I've been drinking it for breakfast every day for several years. It starts my day of with high protein, low carbs, and I don't get hungry until it's time for lunch.

Arrived Stale

by dean from Washington, DC USA on 2010-09-07
Having had thinkThin Brownie Crunch bars before, thought the 10-pack was a good deal.The bars were delivered promptly after I ordered them. Unfortunately, the bars themselves are rather stale. It's not that they're inedible, but re definitely not as moist as what you can get in the grocery store. They are still several months away from the sell-by date stamped on the box, so it's not a matter of them having spoiled.Very disappointing.

Terrible-tasting product!!!

by P. Deal from on 2010-08-27
I have been eating "breakfast bars" for at least 10 years. I've enjoyed various protein bars, Zone bars, Balance Bars, Triple Threat Power Bars, etc etc. I just ate my first "ThinkThin" chocolate fudge bar, and it is BY FAR the worst-tasting bar I have ever eaten. What little bit of taste it offers is AWFUL. I hate to spend perfectly good money on something that makes me want to throw it away. Don't buy them. ICKY TASTE!

Waste of money.

by Wanda Adkison from Houston, TX on 2010-08-26
These were terrible. The "chocolate" had turned white like it was old or waxy. The bar was gritty and had a terrible chemical aftertaste. With so many glowing reviews, i was VERY disappointed in this product.

Good value and quality for the price

by Brian Likosar from Chicago Suburbs, IL, USA on 2010-08-24
I've seen this in stores for almost double the price, so this is a great value. I use these bars to replace a meal a day to help me meet my weight loss goals. At 20G of protein with no sugar, they're perfect. The taste is pretty good - while the flavor is listed as "chunky" peanut butter, it's not really that chunky or crunchy. However, I've never had the "creamy" one to compare.

Disgusting

by Megan from Marion, IL, US on 2010-08-24
I bought these because they were on sale so I thought I would try them - bad idea. They are not good at all, kind of taste like chocolate rubber. They all ended up in the trash. Not worth it at half the price, much less at the expensive rate they usually charge.

My Puppys Favorite

by L. Delvin from on 2010-07-21
These are my puppy's favorite treats! We use them as the "high value" treat in puppy school. When we are training we can easily break them up into smaller pieces, or if he is being really good we will give him a whole one. His whole body wags in happiness after getting one of these.

High quality, healthy, cheap snack for dogs

by GH from on 2010-06-27
This is a great treat for dogs made from high quality meat (venison). They are half the price of the comparable Wellness Pure Rewards venison snacks, which are impossible to find. The Zukes are great, but the jerky is in the form of big strips, so you have to tear away smaller bits for treats---this is easy to do though.

Dogs LOVE em!

by B. Betts from Ann Arbor, MI United States on 2010-06-15
Wonderful treat, one of my dog's favorite! Smells so good YOU will want to eat it! LOL Great for finicky little dogs.

My dog's favorite treat.

by Carla J. Bassett from Alaska on 2010-06-10
He is spoiled rotten and now I have to get his treats on amazon or pay a lot more for the same thing here, so we get them on amazon. My dog gives five paws.

Tasty dog treat made in the USA

by Aungie from Alexandria, USA on 2010-01-23
Our Bichon likes all the Zuke treats we've given him and he's been eating them for a few years. However, he loves these chicken Z-filets! We break up the filets since he's a small dog and they're high protein as well. They're natural and made in the USA. I've looked through Petsmart several times looking for made in the USA, natural, good-for-dog treats and the selection is very small. So Zuke's is a great find.

good quick breakfast

by Lee B. Morris from Miller Place, NY United States on 2010-09-01
I love these bars, they make a great breakfast that I can eat in the car on those mornings when I don't have time to sit at the table. Good chocolatey flavor. I was surprised that my kids don't like them - said they taste chalky. That's ok - they have their bars and I have mine!

Good but could be better

by Harry Grace c/o Current Electric from on 2010-08-30
Delivery was fast, flavor is good. Being sugar free is a big plus for me, but the center is not white and I found no chips ! The White is a very thin layer on the outside. Still good but no quite what I expected

Think Thin Bars

by Anthony Martino from on 2010-08-26
These bars are shipped via the U.S. Post Office. When I buy them in a store such as Whole Foods, they are fresh and the outer coatings intact. When I bought them through Amazon, the outer coatings were melted and in some cases stuck to the inside of the wrappers. It is not a case where they were left in a mailbox all day. My mailman handed them to me, along with the other mail. Don't buy this product from Amazon, pay a little more and get a good product.

Tastes like cardboard.

by Severino Nappi from PORTLAND, ME, US on 2010-08-24
The product has very little white chocolate and tastes like cardboard. I tasted one bar and threw the other nine out.

Surprised to LOVE IT!!! Tastes really good.

by Elite_and_sweet from on 2010-08-22
Okay so I ordered every flavor of these during the summer sale in June were most of the flavors $12, and if you signed up "Subscribe and Save" they were $10.50 each. So, I will be putting up reviews as I open each box. They have been in the fridge (keeps me from random snacking) and I opened Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Mudslide, and Mixed Nuts & White Chocolate last night. I am 5'3" and 118 and I try to add some protein to my diet with bars like this. My review will only be for the Dark Chocolate (others on the appropriate product pages.) I will start with what EVERYONE really cares about: TASTE! These bar tasted incredible to me!!!! Thick, rich, dark chocolate, chewy consistency, NO chemical taste, sweet but not too sweet. I read the nutrient profile and the ingredient list, and I am really pleased with the ingredient quality. This is what attracted me to the product. It is sugar free, gluten free, and wheat free. This is great for those watching their waistline. On the other hand, it has a pretty sizeable fat content. This one has 7 grams of fat. So just be aware of that when including in your diet, too many of these and you WILL gain weight! The protein is excellent!!! (20 grams), as much as a small chicken breast. (Although chicken breast doesn't have this much fat.) The sodium isn't bad (125 mg). There are 14 net carbs, which subtract out the fiber and sugar alcohols (the sugar alcohols are in debate as to whether your body burns them as calories or not.) The calories, fat, protein, and carbs are equal to: a large plain green salad, 3 oz chicken breast, 3 cups broccoli, 1/2 tablespoon oil, and a cup of berries. So I say that to illustrate that this is definitely a healthy MEAL REPLACEMENT for those on the go and really has TOO MANY calories for a full bar to be a snack. If you plan on snacking, break it in half and eat half for an afternoon snack, and half for a nighttime snack. If you do it this way, these bars are actually a very smart, thoughtfully balanced, and highly convenient, delicious snack. That is the most effective way to use these bars. They do not really have enough fiber to eat as a meal replacement because you will be hungry in less than four hours after eating. If you do use as a meal replacement, add a broth soup and a large green salad with low-cal dressing, or veggies (most grocery stores sell washed broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots that you can eat on the go.) Another way to incorporate these DELICIOUS bars into your routine is a breakfast. Perfect for on the go and it's hard to eat more before lunch even if you do get hungry (which most people don't get very hungry before lunch.) So in summary: EXCELLENT ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS; DELICIOUS, DECADENT FLAVOR (as good as a candy bar); CONVENIENT PACKAGING; GREAT VITAMIN & MINERAL PROFILE (you'll still need a comprehensive multivitamin daily); CONVENIENT SOURCE OF PROTEIN; GREAT SNACK (if you eat half as a snack or the other half later in the day as a snack.) THE PRICE IS RIGHT too based on Amazon's deal vs. in store pricing on these bars. They are very expensive in retail stores, Amazon is selling them almost 50% off. Helpful hint: if you sign up for Subscribe & Save, you get the best price. You can set your shipments to every six months, and even if you don't want them then, you can delay shipment. The point is, you really never have to buy more later in order to get the best price now. You can keep deferring shipment. Not saying that to scam Amazon, just saying that may help more people be willing to try a delicious bar if the price is right. I hope this review helped you make a purchasing decision, either for or against the product. I know I hate to waste my money, and I wanted to give a honest review.
