Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 54 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers are really happy with the products, often highlighting them as tasty, healthy, and a great way to boost protein intake. Many appreciate the use of high-quality, natural ingredients and the absence of "nasties," finding them to be a "clean product" that sustains appetite and provides a solid protein hit without fillers. People describe the products as a game-changer for their nutrition, offering a convenient and effective snack. However, some people were dissatisfied with the product's texture, frequently describing the bars and bites as very dry, hard to chew, and requiring a lot of water to consume. There were also mentions of the product being overpriced and, in some cases, tasting unpleasant, with comparisons to sand or sawdust. A few customers also noted that the product isn't 100% meat and that some varieties contain whey protein concentrate, which contributes to the dry texture.

Love Roam bars! They're a great way of boosting my protein intake especially when I'm out and about, or even just tiding me over when I get hungry stopping me eating sugary/ high calorie snacks. Highl... See more

Tried all the bars and all the bites as an alternative to the processed protein bars I’ve always relied on. These are more satiating, only got real food in and therefore are less addictive. Regular di... See more

Company details

  1. Food Manufacturer

Written by the company

Roam is a real food first nutrition brand that started because we were sick of all the fake "health foods" that were on offer when we needed a high protein snack on-the-go. We make high-protein, natural snacks with nothing artificial added to our bars & bites. We wanted high protein, and we wanted all natural, but we didn’t want the weird ingredients that sounded like they should be in a lab, hazardous artificial preservatives, and the inconvenience of refrigeration. Since launching in January 2022 we have been building a loyal community of functional health leaders, biohackers, athletes and adventurers. Each and every one of them, passionate about the power of real food.

I really wanted to love this product…

I really wanted to love this product but genuinely found it difficult to eat due to the taste. The tastes reminds me of how dog food smells which is a shame.

Thanks for the review. We are really sorry to hear that you did not like the taste of your Roam bars. As you can see from the majority of our reviews, most people really enjoy the products, and find them to be incredibly valuable due to their nutritional profile, versatility and convenience.

However, we totally understand that they were not your taste, unlike other products in this category they contain zero artificial flavours, additives or preservatives. They are incredibly natural, which means that taste/texture can be different from the typical products we see in this category which are laden with salt and low quality fats. We are continuing to improve our recipes and process, as part of our mission to make real food more accessible. Watch this space for our new recipe bars coming out in the spring. We would be more than happy to share a discount code with you so that you can try another flavour, if you want to give us another shot.

Not massively impressed with these…

Not massively impressed with these bars, they’re very expensive for what you get and they don’t taste good. I’d much rather eat some billtong/beef jerky, far less dry.

5* Alternative Protein Bars

Fantastic alternative to chocolate / sweet protein bars. These bars provide a tasty, healthy and tooth saving alternative option for a post gym protein boost.

This is the driest

This is the driest , worst tasting bar I have ever tasted.
Asked to return unopened and still boxed items and was refused.

Very bad customer service and experience.

Real food - Easy Protein Fix.

I've been buying Roam Bars for approx. a year but have recently signed up to a subscription as between my Wife and I, we are getting through them incredibly quickly. They offer a great alternative to traditional protein bars and you actually feel healthy eating them as opposed to the feeling you get from traditional protein bars (and shakes) whereby you know they taste far too processed to actually be good for you.

The perfect protein snack

I ordered the ROAM chilli flavour. As a South African, Biltong (dried meat) is a staple. It reminded me of the chilli biltong I at growing up. Super delicious, clean ingredients and packed with protein. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a clean protein bar option. Lastly, the branding and packaging is just awesome, well done to the team at ROAM!

Hi and thanks for the great feedback. Coming from a South African we will definitely pass this one back to the product development team, you guys definitely know your dried meat snacks.

Keep an eye out for our new flavours launching late 23/24 we think they'll be just as well received (even if they are not beef).

Thanks for the feedback. We think they are great value too when you consider the whole food approach we have taken and compare our bars to others on the market who are packed full of synthetic options which we all know are cheaper.

A great idea

No complaints - the bars are exactly what they say they are - beef with salt and pepper to season.
They are an acquired taste however - like I said it’s a bar of beef, that by dint of some kind of wizardry does not need refrigeration.
A good idea.
Edit: this does not mean I didn’t like them. They are very good though unlike anything else on the market of a similar dried meat type ie biltong or jerky which is one of their strengths, being extremely convenient pre or post workout or used like I did as a part of a natural breakfast. An excellent idea perfectly executed.

Thanks for the feedback, We aren't wizards though, just using traditional techniques and all natural ingredients like our grandma had in her cupboard at home to make awesome bars.
