Every effort has been made to make sure that the sugars contained in this bar
have a minimal impact on blood sugar and insulin. Consequently, the majority of
sugars contained in the Zero Impact™ High Protein, Meal Replacement Bar are low
DE (Dextrose Equivalent) and, therefore, have significantly less impact on blood
sugar and glycemic index than most whole grain carbohydrates. This innovation
incorporates the use of low glycemic carbohydrates, fiber, high-grade proteins,
and naturally occurring essential fats from nuts, seeds, milk proteins and
grains. The Zero Impact™ Bar also contains CLA and Sesamin to maintain healthy
blood sugar and insulin levels and reduce body fat.
The Zero Impact™ meal replacement bar is a key food source for the Zero
Impact™ Diet.

These are decent balanced nutrition, and very satisfying. They don't have lots of high GI carbs, so you won't be starving again in an hour... and the protein, fiber and other nutrients provide a reasonably balanced meal (for a bar).
The calorie count is a bit high, but nibbling 1/3 or 1/2 of a bar can still be a substantial snack. They are great for carrying into a travel (or consulting) situations, where you don't have a lot of space - but you also don't know when your next real meal will be.
As other reviewers have noted, they are best served with a big glass of water. The pumpkin are best tasting, great mouth feel too. The chocolate PB and coconut are OK for variety, but I go through 4X more pumpkin than the others.
Just finished a box of the Pumpkin Supreme. They are very good. Quality ingredients, nutritious, and taste great. Make sure you have something to drink with them though. I really like how just half of a bar fills me up for at least 3 hours, til next meal. I got some more Pumpkin (they don't have a strong pumpkin taste) and some coconut too.
This review is specific to Zero Impact Bars, Pumpkin Supreme
Recently, I ordered a box of VPX Pumpkin Supreme bars. I no longer eat soy proteins because soy promotes estrogen increases. Unfortunately, the vast majority of protein bars and ready-to-drink shakes have soy protein in them.
The adjective that I would use to describe the flavor of the Pumpkin Supreme bars is "tolerable." In my opinion, they don't have much flavor at all. I don't exactly look forward to eating them post-workout. But, the nutritional content of the bars makes up for the taste. I will continue to eat these bars post-workout and as meal replacements.
I have extremely detailed requirements for my protein bars, the most recent of which is NO SOY. That's really, really hard to find!
Some of my favorite tasting bars do have soy and I'll miss them - Odwalla Protein, PureFit, etc.
Now, Zero Impact fits my current and very strict requirements: no coating and no soy. I like to leave bars in strange places and I do not want to open one and find the "chocolatey layer" all over the bottom of the wrapper. Ick. So the Pumpkin bars are fabulous, packed with whey, non-candybarlike ingredients, and lots of goooooood fat. They are nearly "paleo" in their specs - fabulously filling and the flavor is unique.
I'll try the roasted coconut next, but for now Pumpkin is fantastic and I will keep buying them as full meal replacement or as a snack (1/2 bar at a time). For 220 cal, a half bar is dirt cheap for the quality of ingredients used!

Awesome bar, perfect for snowboarding because it doesn't fully freeze due to the fat content. I haven't seen any other bar on the market that gives you pumpkin and yams, two good sources of complex carbs.
