Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 7    Pros: Apple crisp has a great taste and crispy texture Cons: Cinnamon Bun has a funny texture but good taste The Apple Crisp is a definate must. It doesn't look like it's enough to fill you up, but it does. It's quick and convienient. Nice to keep in purse when the hungries get to ya. The Cinnamon Bun had that soy texture but the flavor was good if you want something sweet. LCRedhead MAJOR LCF POSTER!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Keeps me full until lunch Cons: I was amazed at how one breakfast bar will keep me full until lunch. I have only tried the Cinnamon Bun so far. To me its very sweet and sometimes if I am craving sweets really bad I will eat one of these and it takes away the craving. I keep looking for that cherry almond danish in the picture????? I'd LOVE to try that one but can't find it?? yarncat Way too much time on my hands!

Yes | Price you paid?: $5.00 | Rating: 10    Pros: quick and easy Cons: I use the Cin bun type and they are very good. You need to be drinking coffee or something with them. Very filling. jvryden Senior LCF Member Registered: September 2003 Location: kansas city 'burbs Posts: 627 Review Date: Sat December 6, 2003 Would you recommend the product?

Yes | Price you paid?: $2.98 | Rating: 10    Pros: Apple Crisp has a "crunch" to it Cons: Cinnamon bun is kinda sweet, but still good The very first Atkins product I purchased was the Chocolate Chip Crunch Morning Start bars. They tasted like Rice Krispy bars w/chocolate chips..they were GREAT! Unfortuantly I have never seen them since. Do they still make those kind does anyone know? The Blueberry Muffin is good also. It's moist and doughy. bab_indy MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: December 2003 Location: Bay Area, CA Posts: 2570 Review Date: Tue December 16, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $6.00 | Rating: 7    Pros: portable, taste Cons: sugar alcohols I've tried all flavors and found most of them decent. Much better than the "regular" bars in my opinion. Apple Crisp is my favorite. Chocolate Chip pretty decent. Cinnamon Bun ok. Blueberry Muffin like a half-baked muffin. OK if you like that taste (I do.) jjcoff Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Posts: 15 Review Date: Tue January 6, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $3.99 | Rating: 8    Pros: taste and convenience / keeps me filled up Cons: cinn bun has an odd texture The apple crisp is very good. Taste a lot like rice krispies in a yogurt coating. The cinnamon bun is very sweet and has a gainy texture, but works well if you're craving something sweet. tjw21964 Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2003 Location: Michigan Posts: 2 Review Date: Sat January 10, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.00 | Rating: 9    Pros: Very Filling Cons: I was so thrilled to see a convenient bar that is great for breakfast. I loved the Apple Cinnamon. It cures the sweet tooth for sure. Hope to find the others in stores soon. makahagirl Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Altamonte Springs, Florida Posts: 30 Review Date: Sat January 10, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.59 | Rating: 8    Pros: very filling Cons: soy-ish taste I tried the Cinnammon ones and they are delicious. The texture was very nice and I do recommend eating them with a cup of coffee. Divided Sky Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Maine Posts: 7 Review Date: Sun January 18, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 7    Pros: filling, decent taste, low in carbs Cons: Cinnamon Bun a bit soy-like I've only had the Apple Crisp and Connamon, and I've eaten a lot of both. If you like a sweet, soy texture, you will love the Cinnamon Bun bars. I found those to be the most filling of the two flavors I've tried. The apple crisp tastes better, but upon reading the ingredients, I noticed they had roasted almonds in them - therefore, does this mean they're not safe for induction?

Yes | Price you paid?: $5.45 | Rating: 9    Pros: taste, texture Cons: Love the apple crisp bars! I really do love the crispy texture. I haven't tried to cinnamon bar, however, after reading the reviews on it, I'm not too fond of the soy taste anyway. I am looking for the choc chip ones, but I can only find apple and cinnamon so far. newsnut Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Knoxville, TN Posts: 27 Review Date: Sat January 24, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.00 | Rating: 8    Pros: tastes great, very filling Cons: cant stand the texture of the cin. bun one Havent tried the chocolate or blueberry but I absolutely love the apple crisp. Its perfect for my rushed mornings. Wish it wasnt so pricey though nurseshan Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Baltimore, MD Posts: 4 Review Date: Sun January 25, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.00 | Rating: 9    Pros: I love these bars, although I feel like im cheating cause they taste soo good! apple crisp and cinnabun are both excellent! Cons: doesnt last too long for me, but Im a runner and stuff goes through me! EllieKat Junior LCF Member Registered: June 2003 Location: NC Posts: 28 Review Date: Tue January 27, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: Taste, Convenience Cons: price I picked up a box of these with some hesitation, since I'm not to fond of the Atkins bars. Was I suprised! These actually taste good! I've only been able to find the Apple Crisp and the Cinnamon and not the Cherry danish. The Apple Crisp has a nice flavor and a bit of a crunch to it. No heavy protien/vitamin aftertaste like the Atkins bars. The Cinnamon has a little bit of an aftertaste, but nothing near as marked as the Atkin Nutritional Bars. Texture of the cinnamon was a little strange too. hpellot Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Posts: 15 Review Date: Sat January 31, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: Taste Good Cons: None I would give this a ten but a product needs to basically make me think I am having a special moment. I traded the cinnamon cream excellent. I actually like them more that the non carb breakfast bars from kellogs that I have tried in the past. SwitzBride Senior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Wisconsin Posts: 305 Review Date: Sat February 7, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: Taste, convenience Cons: I've only had the apple cinnamon, but it's VERY good, sweet, and crispy. I keep them handy in my bag for a snack or meal on the go. BBUFFING Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Centerburg, OH Posts: 16 Review Date: Mon February 9, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 2    Pros: They're low-carb Cons: Taste I saw favorable reviews and thought I'd give these a shot. Yuk. Tasted like soy-flavored cardboard to me. Of course, I dislike granola and regular breakfast bars, and so I should have known I wouldn't care for them. dvmgator Senior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: hurricane central Posts: 135 Review Date: Sat February 21, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Pros: handy, tasty compared to most LC bars Cons: voodoo carb count? I have had both the cinnamon bun and apple crisp versions of these bars. They are really tasty! They are "iced" with a frosting-like coating. The apple ones have more of a "rice-krispy" like texture. The cinnamon bun ones are more cake like. The flavor is quite good. I like the cinnamon ones the best... The carb counts displayed on the box vary from the nutritional info on te box due to subtraction of glycerin and fiber, etc., so be careful if you are sensitive to any of the ingredients they are leaving out of the carb count. Overall, very handy for times when cooking eggs isnt a breakfast option! ps. i havent been able to find the cherry almond danish ones shown in the picture! The box reads that they also have "other great flavors" which I havent been able to find: creamy strawberry crisp, choc chip crisp, dbl choc muffin, and blueberry muffin flavors... kenj30 Senior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Glendale, Arizona Posts: 78 Review Date: Mon February 23, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: Taste and convenience. Cons: Price, lack of advertised flavors. I've had the apple, blueberry, cinnamon, and chocolate chip flavors. The only one I didn't enjoy was cinnamon. Apple is good and blueberry is ok, probably better if you are a big blueberry fan. The biggest dissapointment for me is the chocolate chip. I CAN'T FIND IT!!! It was a fantastic bar, as good if not better than any of the granola chocolate chip bars. I haven't seen it since shortly after the introduction of the Morning Start bars. Although it may have been mismarketed as a breakfast bar it was excellent. It should have been positioned as a snack/granola type bar imo.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 7    Pros: Texture, taste Cons: Price Only have had the Cinnamon Bun. Sort of sweet. Cake-like with frosting. I'd buy again for a quick breakfast on the run. kristins Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 7 Review Date: Sun April 4, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 3    Pros: carb count Cons: yuck I bought a box of the Apple Flavored bars and thought they were great. I recommended them to all my friends. I bought a second box and thought they were nasty and had a horrible, very long lasting aftertaste and couldn't even finish one of them. I don't know what I was thinking the first time around. Luckily my friends forgave me BFL Chick Very Gabby LCF Member!!! Registered: January 2003 Location: Baltimore Posts: 4315 Review Date: Sun April 25, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 3    Pros: fills you up...you won't want to eat for a while Cons: tastes horrible!!! I've tried different flavors and they were all bad. RowanGrey Senior LCF Member Registered: April 2003 Location: Madison, Alabama Posts: 213 Review Date: Sun April 25, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.99 | Rating: 7    Pros: Convenience, taste Cons: Total lack of flavors advertised, expensive, sugar alcohols The only flavors I can find anywhere are Cinnamon Bun and Apple Crisp. Both taste good, and tend to keep me happy until lunch. They are, however, painfully expensive. There are only 5 or 6 in a box, and you pay through the nose to get them. NOT something I will eat every morning, but helpful when I run out of vienna sausanges to take with me to work for breakfast. I wish I could find any of the other flavors listed on the box. The sugar alcohols are a bit of a hassle to deal with at work. raddoc Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: South Posts: 1 Review Date: Wed June 23, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.00 | Rating: 8    Pros: breakfast choice variety Cons: cost I have tried all flavors (either store-bought or ordering through Atkins or Netrition). Most stores have only apple and cinnamon bun flavors and the others must be ordered...I have found great prices on Netrition, compared to Atkins web site. I enjoy the blueberry the most. I do not like the Cinnamon bun at all. The new Choc muffin was a little disappointing due to its density (not moist and cake-like enough), but it is good for a chocolate fix. The Choc chip tastes a little spicy to me but I can't figure out what is in it that would taste that way. The Strawberry crisp is ok but a little disappointing as well. The Apple crisp is very good, as all have said. JackieO Senior LCF Member Registered: April 2004 Posts: 168 Review Date: Mon July 26, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.99 | Rating: 8    Pros: tastes good; quick & easy Cons: cost & need more variety of flavors
