These are the THREE things he changed due to feedback.

1. Less fiber, citing the fact that Americans are not used to having as much fiber at once as his initial bars had. (Reviews mentioned problems with gas.)

2. Removed the Stevia, citing people didn't like the aftertaste. To compensate he had to add sugar, "about one teaspoon." He wanted it to be sugar-free.

3. Smaller size bars, 30 grams, instead of the 60 gram size. People didn't want to have to break/cut them in two.

It is taking longer to make because they had to re-tool the machines for the smaller size bar, smaller packaging, etc. He said it took him almost a full year to re-do the bars according to the feedback. He has mentioned more than once that the "line" that the bars, packaging, etc. go thru is about the length of a football field. To retool that great length was a major project and it is just taking longer to get his product out. The equipment he used came from Europe.

Because it is taking longer to make the bars, once the special sold out, it won't be until March to have more bars ready to sell. Peanut butter flavor will be added, as he had that as one of the initial flavors. He also mentioned bringing more back in April. Don't know if he meant different flavors, or just that he will have been able to produce more of the flavors he has.

Although I liked the bars as they were, I think it is wonderful that Andrew is not only the creator, he does all the manufacturing, and can pivot his production based upon feedback. Pretty sure companies like General Mills would not respond to concerns by consumers like Andrew does.

@World Traveler  AGREE 100%.  So well put and great info.  I never tried the original but ordered these. My husband like to have a bar after a work out or take one with him when he's playing golf.  I would take a bar if I have to go into the office and won't have time for much else.

@World Traveler  So happy you like them.  You were smart to order directly.  I should have done the same,  as I occassionally do.

While I loved his big bars, the smaller one above is awful and am returning.

I was on waitlist for the 48 but decided to cancel just the other day as saw no reviews on HSN ,went to Procap website and saw some not great reviews with the new size,surprised me . I really wanted the peanut butter which I know should be coming in March but now I'M  up in the air about ordering.

Why change something that was so good and just common sense as Andrew said last year  have customers cut them in half, if they thought they were too big. But sounds like maybe the ingredients  were  changed also with this new size.The fiber was not an issue with me at all,always were told eat more fiber.
