New formula

The new formula really is such a downgrade. Was a perfect snack before they changed it. Unfortunately I won't be buying it again unless they go back.

New Recipe

If you're noticing that the skin on the inside of your mouth is raw/sore, it's because the texture of the new recipe they're using to make these is so dry it's abrasive. Disappointing, especially given that they used to be downright perfect.

Hard, Chalky, and Funky Flavors

I hate the new protein breakfast bars!!! I used to eat the original ones every morning. It was a gluten free staple. The original ones were soft and fluffy, but now it’s just hard, tasteless, and chalky!!! :-( I won’t be buying them unless they go back to something closer to the original.

Love These Bars

I love these bars. I eat one almost every morning. I find them to be moist and chewy and not too sweet. The protein keeps me going all morning. I am concerned that the new packaging no longer says they are Gluten Free. I checked the ingredients and they are the same and the Kind website is still saying they are GF.

I’ve been eating KIND Almond Butter bars for years as my go‑to breakfast, but the recent change in both packaging and recipe has me seriously considering other options. The new packaging is simply unappealing—the dull, washed‑out colors make the product look old, like it’s been sitting on the shelf for years.

I used to eat the kind breakfast bars all the time, but for some reason they jumped on the “protein” train. The added ingredients made these hard and dry. Why would you change something that is not broken.

What a mistake by Kind!

Went from 5 stars to 1 star...These were absolutely delicious...a fluffy and moist morning protein bar...everything changed with new recipe...now you have a flat, dry, bland tasting bar which also appears to be smaller. Very disappointing, I can only guess your bottom line was more important than your customer. Last time I buy these bars and Kind WAS my go to.

Been eating these since 2016 every day due to I have a sensitive stomach and celiac and have had no issues. This new whatever you did is so disappointing because ingredients changed and researching you use barley for flavoring which has gluten. This was my always go to snack and now I have to find something else.

Did you change your recipe when you changed your packaging? This doesn’t taste the same and they’re harder now. I chipped a tooth. I use to love these for their taste and softness. Bring back the softer texture and the original recipe. This is terrible. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Common sense.
