Customer Reviews
Yummy snack on the go By J. Fung (NY, NY)
I bought Luna bars as snacks to grab on the go. It fills me up pretty well and fulfills my craving for sugar. It's not too sweet with just the appropriate amount of lemon. I've seen other reviewers remark on the fact that it's too strong; I think all Luna bars appeal differently to peoples' tastebuds. I tried White Chocolate Macadamia and Chocolate Dipped Coconut, but Lemon Zest is by far my favorite. For some reason, Amazon is currently not stocking this product through Subscribe and Save. I hope it comes back soon because it's a great value to buy it from Amazon!

the best Luna bars out there By Thomas D. Post
I've eaten Luna bars for years -- and love them. This price point made me want to order them online -- with the recurring feature. I wanted to cut down on the waste associated with mailing packages -- so tried to order 6 cases at a time, every six months (rather than a case every month). I even called and spoke to a sales associate. What happened? A few days later, a single case arrived in the mail... *sigh.* So the price and product were fine, but the service has a LONG way to go.

Great Taste, Good Price By Kaholeenah (Orange County, CA)
Did you know that ALL Luna bars are vegan? Well, now you do! I eat one of these a day at snack time. They taste great and they're pretty nutritious. I'm a protein bar snob, and I think 99% of them are G-R-O-S-S, but this one is DELISH! Try it out!

TASTY LOWFAT GO-TO PROTEIN BAR By mauidakota
I have tried them all! A friend of mine told me about these bars. I saw her at work munching on one. I said "What have you got there?" Intrigued by what she was eating, I couldn't believe I had missed these at the store. I probably had given up at that point. The thing is you want enough protein to hold you over until the next meal. When I'm at work and I can't sit down to eat, this is so perfect. I follow it with a couple of hard-boiled eggs and I'm good to go. They're tasty and satisfying. Since I live in Hawaii, these bars are $1.89 a piece. Amazon is the only place I can get these and at a little over a $1.00 a bar, plus free shipping! Amazon rocks! I can continue on with maintaining a balanced diet. I will always keep these on hand. Stuck in traffic? In a pinch it will hold you over. I suggest trying different ones until you find the one you really like. My favorite is the caramel nut brownie. I can still get my daily chocolate fix without feeling deprived.

delicious By *Awesome Alliterative Alias*
With Luna bars, you either love them or hate them. I love them but in limited quantities. The chocolate raspberry flavor is by far my favorite. If you like chocolate, you will love this bar. I will eat one on the run in the morning. Keeps you full until lunch.

yay luna bars! By luna lover
I ordered these for my college roommate since I have amazon prime, and wanted to take advantage of the free shipping. It came right on time (after two days), and well-packaged! Luna bars are a great breakfast bar (if you can't stomach much in the morning), or post-workout bar. Peppermint stick is definitely one of the best flavors!! Thanks!

delicious and priced perfectly By debbmm
These are a terrific way to get fibre and protein into your body in a way that tastes really good. It really does seem like you are eating a dessert rather than a nutrition bar. And doing it through the automatic shipments saves me time and lots of money!

Luna Bars By A. Farrow
It's simple: THESE ARE ADDICTING!! If I could, I'd eat these things more than 1 time a day! I limit myself though because they are full of vitamins. They really give me great energy when I need it. I have them for a snack, NOT a meal replacement. The are not meant to be a meal replacement bar, just a healthy snack - The website will tell you that. Enjoy!

Yum, yum keeps you full! By Okily Dokily
I eat one daily to keep me from eating crap at work, school, etc. Keeps me full and tastes good enough to eat 4-5 times a week and not get overly sick of it.

Delicioussss By Conn Martin (Garrett Park, MD United States)
SOOOO GOOD. I picked one up at the grocery yesterday b/c I've always been curious about Luna and I now I can't believe I've gone this long without trying it!! It doesn't taste like a "nutrition bar"... it tastes like a peanut butter cookie. Can't wait to try other flavors!
