 16 grams of digestible carbs per bar May 13, 2009
By J. Kendall
If you're looking to control digestible carbs -- not just sugar -- then it'd be nice to know that these bars have a ton of slow-release carbs, and may not suit you.
Which is why, Amazon, it is REALLY frustrating when you don't include nutritional information for food. That's like trying to buy a book without knowing the author, or a computer without knowing how much RAM, hard disk space, or video memory it has.
Yes, sometimes that nutritional information is wrong. WE GET IT. So put on your warning, and move on. Pulling the information because some twits out there are, apparently, outfitting their Himalayan mountain expeditions based solely on the nutritional data you list, and then, I suppose, eating some of their porters when your calorie counts are off, isn't fair to the everyday Joes who just want something to munch on.
For the rest of us, we'd just like to have some small inkling of what food is in the food we're about to buy. Pretty please. Because shopping from Amazon shouldn't mean I have to spend half my time Googling each product to find out what the heck it actually is.

 Nutritious and Delicious Sep 28, 2010
By W. Easley
"Opa"
Since becoming a diabetic, I have studied foods in an attempt to better control my blood sugar. Some foods (like ones with lots of sugar) spike my blood sugar. If a meal is not carefully balanced my blood sugar and my energy drops too much. So, I am always looking for healthy foods, especially snack foods. What I usually find are great tasting snacks that are too high in sugar, low in protein, and low in fiber. They are good for normal people, camping or taking long hikes, but not for my daily health snacks.
ExtendBar Mixed Berry Delight meets my requirements. This snack has 12 g of protein, 0 sugar (4 g of "sugar alcohol"), and 0 cholesterol. "ExtendBar's" 20 g of carbohydrates is uncooked cornstarch, which is designed to be slowly processed in digestion.
Reviews written in 2007 and 2008 mentioned that the taste was unpleasant and the color of the bar was pink. They must have improved the product because, to me, the taste is pleasant, one of the best snack bars I have ever eaten, and the color is now an off white. It is not sweet, nor tart. It reminds me of a mix of strawberries and blueberries. The bar's taste is almost as good as the actual strawberries and blueberries I eat regularly. As with all snacks, I always consume it with a fluid which helps avoid any dryness.
The Extendbar Mixed Berry Delight is valuable. This is one of the best items for overall health that I have seen on the market. It is low in sodium and sugar (no high fructose corn syrup), and gluten free. On the other hand, high in protein (12g), good fiber (6 g), and sustained energy level. All this good nutrition and only 150 calories. .
The advertised sustained energy level is real. I have tried this for awhile without blood sugar spikes and without low blood sugar (amazing how they do it, but they do). I highly recommend this product.

Not as good as the others. Sep 25, 2008

I love the peanut butter chocolate, and the plain peanut butter is also good. This tastes artificial and has a disconcerting Pepto Bismol pink color. I would suggest other kinds.

 Loved it! Mar 27, 2008
By Lacy Smith
I am just beginning to lift weights on a regular basis & also watching my calorie intake.When I need a filling "pick me up" this bar is the best yet for me. I do not get hungry after eating one. The mixed berry is my favorite but chocolate is good too. I have no health issues regarding sugar, just food intake. This curbs the appetite.

 Diabetics Review of Extend Bar Oct 27, 2007
By Alex
I am type 2 diabetic. I use extend bars. Please do not use as a medicine. They work OK when I exercise. Taste could be better.
