WAKE UP! Caramel Caffeinated Protein Bites (1 Bite = 1.5 Espressos) – 175mg Clean Caffeine for Energy, Focus & Happy Mornings – Gluten-Free, Kosher Ingredients, Vegetarian, Energy – 8 Pack

I can get caffeinated without all the liquid and without the upset tummy I get from drinking coffee on an empty stomach (which definitely happens on busy mornings!). These bars got me through a jam-packed tour of Alaska—helping me enjoy every day even though my nights never included enough sleep. They’re also the perfect afternoon pick-me-up! I’m not super sensitive to caffeine, so I can have one in the late afternoon and still get to bed at a reasonable time. No jitters, no anxiety—just a delicious quick snack that helps you keep going!

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.

These are the very best tasting bites that I have ever had. My husband agrees with me. I I am 66 years old & I have not been able to drink coffee, black tea, or even green tea since I turned 55 years old, because it just makes me sick, so I have been in a daze for about 12 years now, until I discovered these bites. Now when I need to wake up, (The perfect name, too), I just eat one bite and it last all day but it doesn't make you jittery, or feel crazy, it's just a nice smooth ride with energy all day. I LOVE them and my husband does too. Robin & Reg

I’ve tried a few caffeinated bars and this one is delicious. It still has that slightly bitter taste that many of the bars do but the crunchy texture and cinnamon make it a really yummy bite. I like that it doesn’t make me jittery and gives me the exact energy that I need to get through my day.

I love these bars!! They work as promised. I love the convenience of them. I can just throw them in my backpack as I head out the door and if I don’t have time to stop and get coffee, I can just eat a bar. Sometimes an entire bar is too much caffeine for me at once so I’ll just eat half a bar. If I find myself drooping later in the day, I will finish the bar. My go to utilization is to eat half of a bar and then drink iced coffee to slowly titrate up to the amount of caffeine I want. It really helps to have the bar in addition to the coffee because sometimes the coffee just does not provide enough caffeine for me. My favorite flavor is the peanut butter. I have tried the chocolate and mint chocolate, too. The chocolate tastes like an extra sweet chocolate rice cakes. The sweetness isn’t a dealbreaker for me, but it is very sweet. The mint chocolate doesn’t taste anything like chocolate, instead it taste like very sweet mint mouthwash with a rice cake texture. If you don’t mind a few extra calories, if you eat it with chocolate chips at the same time, it really does taste like mint chocolate chip and this is how I eat it. The bars can be crumbly, which is not a dealbreaker, but it can sort of get out of hand if you eat it while driving like I do lol. So what I do is I eat it over a Ziploc bag while I’m driving to catch as many of the crumbles as I can. The ziplock bad can also be use to store any leftover bar you might have. All in all, I’m glad I found this product and I will definitely be buying more of these in the future :)

I love these, they work perfectly and regular coffee gives me heartburn and these don't. They're delicious and work all day for me without jitteriness, and they really help my functioning when I need them. I don't go anywhere without a few handy, and the individual wrapping makes that very easy and convenient.

I was excited to try this product and flavor. The texture is a positive. Crispy. I took a bite and then smelled the bite and it smells like mint chocolate. It caffeine helps when I didn't sleep enough the night before or the sleep quality was poor. The big downside: the "finish" on the tongue, flavor wise, is highly chemical. It was a turnoff. But I still had a whole box to eat, which is something I'm not sure I will be able to do. I've had three of them now in about 12 or 13 days. I wanted to like this so much. I can't do it. Happy I ordered the bites and not the larger product, the bars.

Great and powerful and quite bowel inspiring!!

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!

This product works for its intended purpose. Certainly keeps you awake. Took a while to arrive and a bit pricey for the size of each bar.

When I need a quick energy boost throughout the day, Energy WAKE UP is my go-to snack. It's vegan, gluten free and made with natural, non-GMO ingredients. Plus, it contains 125mg of caffeine which is the equivalent of 1.5 espressos! I love that it's low in sugar and only 55 calories per bite - such a delicious and healthy way to get an energy boost!

I really like these, they taste really good, small little bites and 10 in one box. They are individually wrapped so great on the go. They are quite rich so it makes up for being so small. One of these is equally to one espresso and a half which is insane and you should be careful not to eat too many of them. They have quite a strong coffee aftertaste but I love coffee. What I really like is that they are wrapped in chocolate which makes them absolutely delicious but on the inside they are very crunchy. At 55kcal per bite, they’re great for dieting and for a pre-workout snack as they definitely pack a punch. They certainly satisfy my sweet tooth and and something I look forward to each day before my workout.
