Today is my first day on JC and I tried the chocolate peanutbutter anytime bar. I thought it was horrible and it had a bad aftertaste. Just wondering how other people like this bar? There is also a cookies & cream anytime bar, is that one any better?

I actually love the Peanut Butter Anytime bar! I look forward to my 10:30 snack daily. They are chocked full of good things for us. You have the option of taking the vitamins instead if you want. I tried one of the cookies & cream bars, but didn't care for them - but I've never been a fan of "cookies & cream* anything.

I think it might be a matter of getting used to less of a sugary taste. They are much like the Tiger Milk bars. If you anticipate a "candy bar" I can understand the disappointment. I think in the early weeks we all go through an adjustment time of getting our tastebuds used to new things... less fat, etc. Just hang in there.

I know there was a recent thread about the recipe change that just happened with the Anytime bars. I still had some of the orginal bars left.. so I did a taste comparison - and bite for bite.. I didn't notice a significant difference.

Just know that this program DOES work!!!!! Welcome to the JC family & forum!!!

I think the P & B AT bars are okay. I haven't tried the cookies and cream. I eat yogurt everyday instead of doing the AT bars. It's cheaper, plus the yogurt tastes better. I usually save my fruit and milk from breakfast and add the yogurt/milk with frozen fruits to make a smoothie for my mid-morning snack. I have anytime bars on hand. Keep one in my tennis bag and one in my purse just in case I get stuck somewhere and need to eat something. Most people do not like the taste of the bars. I think they are doable on occasion.

I think the pb bars are ok. The cookies and cream bars are much worse with the aftertaste and the general consistency.

I might go to the vitamin, but they do taste like chocolate a little bit

I tried both kinds of anytime bars, and I thought they were DISGUSTING! They went straight in the trash. I do a one a day vitamin and yogurt. MUCH better tasting!

I like the PB bars. I was worried about trying the new version after reading some unfavorable reviews but I still liked it. I found it creamier, less chewey (in that the old one took forever to chew), and was slightly bigger. I prefer it to the cookies and cream version.

I prefer the peanut butter anytime bars over the cookies and cream bar.

The peanut butter anytime bar is an excuse for me to have an extra snack, with my fruit and a glass of water in between breakfast and lunch.

I wanted to see if the cookies and cream bar was any better, so I tried it. Ugh! Its got this weird aftertaste and chewing through it is painful.

My co-worker (who's also on JC) told me she can only take the multivitamin, because both of the anytime bars taste like they have a kind of "metal-y" aftertaste to them. I think it just depends on your tastebuds. Find something that works and stick with it. Good luck!

Hmm...I really like the cookies and cream one. I have it mid morning with my coffee and even though its not as good as a candy bar...I find it close. I am kinda dreading trying the new ones...

Hey all ..

I'm up in Canada and LOVED the Peanut Butter Anytime bars ( we don't get the cookies & cream ones here, so disappointing ) ANYWAY .. they've now CHANGED the PB bars ( apparently to ones with a more PB flavour ) They are SO NOT as good as the old ones .. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!! I'm considering removing the bars all together and switching to yogurt ( maybe try for a week, see how it goes ) I hate the idea because having the anytime bar makes me feel like I'm eating a chocolate bar :-)

Good luck to everyone in reaching your goals !!!
