Pure Protein are one of the few protein bars where the main proteins change a lot based on bar. The Cocoa Pebs and Zig Zag cake both have Soy as their main protein. The fruity pebbles has whey and milk.
im going to try one of the fruity pebs
Pure Protein is the GOAT protein bar, they've been around forever, have pretty good flavors, and are affordable. Thanks OP, will try each flavor.

Having said that, several months ago I got the fruity pebbles ones to try them and they were nasty. Very dry and stale and very artificial tasting.
Never again on those.
The lemon flavor are nice if you like that flavor.
I used to like the strawberry ones too, but they seem to have discontinued that flavor for some reason.

Flavor Name: Zig Zag Cake
I'm a pretty regular protein bar consumer, so I understand that they aren't always going to have the exact taste of whatever flavor they're trying to emulate and I understand that the texture can be iffy on some of these products. THAT SAID -- the zig zag bars are literally the worst protein bar I've ever eaten, and I've eaten a LOT of different kinds. Sincerely, without exaggation, they taste like vomit. If I had taken a bite of this without knowing what the flavor profile was meant to be, I'd guess they were trying to emulate a vomit flavored Bean Boozled jelly bean. I KID YOU NOT. Don't buy this flavor unless you absolutely hate yourself.
One point because zero isn't an option, because it does at least follow the 1:10 protein to cal ratio that I prefer in a protein bar, and because the texture is at least somewhat normal for a protein bar. Negative EIGHTY TRILLION on flavor."

Also, a whopping 4.5g SATURATED fat (23%) in each puny 1.76oz bar.
Also, the reviews on both Amazon and Pure Protein's own site are mediocre at best. Here's a recent one from pure protein.com:

I bought these as I LOVE the other flavors by pure protein. I took one bite and ended spitting it out. It taste like pure chemicals. Do NOT recommend at all. It didn't even need to taste like zig zag cakes, if they took the base of the birthday cake flavor it would of been close already. Huge disappointment."
