WAKE UP! Caffeinated Peanut Butter Protein Bites - Gluten Free, Vegetarian, 175mg Caffeine (1 Bite = 1.5 Espressos) - Boosts Focus and Clarity - Kosher Ingredients - 8 Pack

I got the 3 espresso per bar box because I want to assure the effect. Pleasantly surprised, way above expectations. However it's formulated, the delivery system works. There was a feeling of being mentally refreshed and re-energized. Good flavor, there's a hint of the espresso, I love that flavor, and the dark chocolate provides an afternoon treat with benefits. Background info: I am a caffeine dependent remote worker. I go at 100 mph mentally, even at my age. The 2:30 p.m. lag in focus and energy has been a problem, and drinking more liquid is tedious and causes a reaction in my gut. I looked for alternatives, and came across Jesse's WakeUp! bars. Really for the treat aspect -- I figured if it didn't work I have some candy for a few days. About 30 minutes after the first one I ate, I noticed the lift you expect and that I needed -- for another 3 hours or so. Maybe the sugar and caffeine combo is the reason, but it worked. I don't need more than that. And only 140 calories, that was a benefit though I admit I would not care. Cost, it's like an energy drink, in comparison. After going through one box, a week later I ordered 2 more. I am reviewing after reordering -- and I won't reorder something like this if it didn't work for me. Haven't ventured outside of dark chocolate flavor, I can eat that all day. But if they nailed this one, the others might also be as satisfying. Recommended. Your experience may be different.

First of all, these are just straight up delicious treats. I would very happily eat them even if they had no caffeine at all. They are a bit sweeter than the usual chocolate (or other) candy or bar type items that I eat, but for instance, when I make cookies for myself I generally cut the sweetener down by 1/3-1/4 of what most recipes call for. I don't think they're much sweeter than, say, a Luna bar (which is actually the closest comparison to these that I can think of) or a Kind bar. They are wonderfully crispy, just the right amount of chewy, and the chocolate flavor is very well balanced to the other flavors, the chocolate really comes through very well.And even better, the caffeine content is great. I have a high tolerance for caffeine, it really takes a lot to affect me. A Mountain Dew gives me more of a sugar rush than a caffeine boost (resulting in a crash, of course). I don't bother with energy drinks that have less than 240 mg caffeine, and I really prefer 300. But, energy drinks have their own issues- I am very averse to the taste of Sucralose and it is very difficult to find energy drinks that don't contain any. Especially the ones that are higher in caffeine content, which tend to be sweetened exclusively with Sucralose and other artificial sweeteners that I just can't stomach. They also have the issue of portability, etc. I also tried some gummies with a high caffeine content, which were very tasty and they were effective, but not as much as these bars. I would put the gummies on the same level as energy drinks or coffee, effectiveness wise.So, these bars are ideal for me. They have very low calories, and for whatever metabolic/digestive reasons, I feel the effect of these bars much more rapidly than the effect from energy drinks, coffee, caffeine pills, etc. with the same amount of caffeine. When I got my first box of these to try them out, I ate a bar and ended up deep cleaning my whole house and then planting some seeds that I had been putting off because it involved getting the pots ready, lugging around bags of soil, etc. Then I went for a considerably longer, brisker walk than I thought I was even capable of (I have health issues as well, which is part of the reason that I need caffeine just to have enough energy to function at all), groomed my dogs, and did laundry. Even an energy drink with 300 mg of caffeine, or a large mocha coffee with 4 extra shots of espresso (in addition to the 2 that are standard from the coffee shop that I patronize), doesn't affect me that strongly, regardless of how quickly I drink it.Also, the seller is great. Shipping is prompt, packing is secure, and even in June there was no melting or other damage to the product.In short- great taste, wonderfully effective, and the seller is great.I really can't recommend these highly enough. When I bought my first box of them to try out, I had one the first day. I then bought two more boxes of them, because I definitely enjoy them and will be having them regularly, and I wanted to be sure to have some on hand in case the price rose significantly or they sold out.

First, these bars are small but mighty. The energy boost is amazing, and I set one by my bed sometimes just so I can have half a bar in the morning to get out of bed!!!! (Only on really early mornings!) I have not experienced an energy crash when I've eaten these bars too. They are really my new addiction. I love it on days where I can eat like half in the morning and half in the afternoon so I can really focus and be awake all day. These are easy to put in your purse to go. They taste really good too!

Having a coffee treat on the go that is both vegan and low calorie is hard to come by. Packing these rice crisp bars in by pack makes this a convenient go to option. Taste, texture, and caffeine punch keeps me satisfied. I will happily continue ordering and may even try other flavors.

I got the smaller size- the bites and I was pleasantly surprised with both the taste and that I could definitely feel the impact of the caffeine. The bites don't feel heavy to eat and are quite tasty. The energy I got from them seemed to be more long lasting than when I drink caffeine. Definitely happy I got these and will continue to buy them when I run out. I even got a box for my dad who has needed help staying alert on longer drives lately.

I’ll try not to be a Danny downer. But I didn’t really feel any go. I’m just thinking between my tolerance or stuff it’s probably why I didn’t get any go. I ate one in morning 4 and another one at 9 break. Or possibly I had to much … because in between I had 2 small celcius… I was hoping for a hopping good time at work. Physically. Lifting, etc. just didn’t feel an extra go. Thank you for your product though. Glad a lot of people felt it….

These bars are great--just the right size, just enough to curb your hunger, and a noticeable (but not jolting) caffeine lift. I've tried espresso and chocolate and they're both delicious. What I love about them is that this compact little bar gives you all you need for hours. So perfect for travel and emergencies!

I read lots of reviews and the explanations of what to expect and they were totally true, no jitters and a good start for a rushed morning! Very tasty , I want to try the peanut butter ones next!

I eat half of the bar instead of having coffee before getting into the car, before my long commute to work (over 1.5hrs). It works wonders as there's no need for a toilet break which is nearly unavoidable after drinking coffee. 5 stars!

I must say though they look small, these bars do definitely serve the purpose for which they where intended... And they taste like the best, fresh, crunchy energy boost I have come across to date. I share 1/2 a bar with me today✅, then I share the other half with me tomorrow.. (no one else)😉 Do not eat these bars on an empty stomach! Even coffee can upset an empty stomach... after my morning cereal or, toast. I share my WakeUp Bar with me. Then I go about my day with a twinkle in my toes,. I definitely do more then just think about what I need to get done, before I realize I'm in motion.. And believe me with my muscle issues of aches and, pains these bars do for sure boost my energy. I will repurchase, I would suggest giving them a try to anyone whom likes coffee but can do without the full bladder effect that coffee gives a person for hours after drinking it. I will be enjoying these bars in days to come for sure.. I do share with my hubby, I bought him his own box😘...

Great and powerful and quite bowel inspiring!!

I am an entrepreneur and a mom to a 7 month old and you can only imagine how busy my life is! Sleep is an absolute luxury and believe it or not so is finishing up a cup of coffee! (Moms our there will relate) so when I saw this product I figured why not let me give it a shot, at least it won’t get cold while I’m trying to consume it! I was expecting a taste similar to energy bars that are loaded with carp* (I am not dyslexic, just polite) but I was very pleasantly surprised to find this bar absolutely delicious! Unlike other such bars, you wish that the yummy taste of dark chocolate would just stay all day!! It is also quite effective and does deliver the promise of 3 espresso shots! I was quite the energizer bunny all day. So if you want something tasty that can help you wake up, then this bar delivers!

It was what they said it would be, but for some reason, comparing them to the full bar, these are definately harder. Almost seemed stale. The flavour was decent and the caffeine jump was as expected.
