I’ve had better
Eh, it’s ok as far as the taste. I wouldn’t get anymore. I’ve found far better tasting healthy snacks at sprouts. This isn’t a creative recipe.& I wouldn’t say it put me in a calm state. I didn’t feel anything. But it makes an ok snack for chocolate lovers. I’d prefer something more chocolatety and no coconut. Ugh, the coconut always ruins it. Leave it out.

Not my favorite flavor, but manageable (Great Ingredients)
The Calm Essentials have a great ingredient list on paper — banana, cinnamon, magnesium, lemon balm, and calming cacao all sound like a perfect mix for stress and focus support. Unfortunately, the taste doesn’t quite match the promise. The first flavor that hits is closer to dark chocolate or coffee grounds, and it takes several seconds before the banana and cinnamon come through. The aftertaste is more pleasant than the initial bite, but it’s not something I look forward to eating.That said, I do like the nutrient density and the fact that GEM offers a pill-free way to get functional ingredients like magnesium and lemon balm. The small size makes them easy to eat quickly, but for the price point ($12.99 for 7 servings or $38.99 for 28), I wish they were individually wrapped like the Energy Bites to help preserve freshness. While the Daily Essentials remain my favorite, I give GEM credit for experimenting with unique flavor blends. If taste isn’t a dealbreaker for you, these are still a convenient way to support mood and stress naturally.

These are the best I’ve had so far!
I just got my first order of these. I ordered the daily gems, and energy gems as well but this calm gem is the only one I’ve tried today.First thing I noticed immediately was the smell. They smell like banana bread. They smell so good I opened the bag and sniffed them several times even after I ate one.The taste was not as good as the smell, but not as bad as I had expected. These are vitamin supplements, so I fully expected them to taste horrible. My first bite tasted the way a chewable like this should taste – healthy.I don’t know if it’s in my head but it seems as if I felt the effect of these almost immediately. I’m talking about within seconds. I felt a little hungry before taking one and it has supressed my appetite. I was also craving sugar so bad which is one of my biggest inhibitors to losing weight. I crave cookies nearly every day. After taking this calm gem, my craving is completely gone.I’m amazed.As far as packaging, I read other reviews that stated their gems were stuck together into one glob which I will admit made me nervous upon purchasing these. However, my package arrived in perfect condition. The calm gems were not individually wrapped yet they were not stuck together which is a relief. I started a subscription for these and will be receiving them every two weeks. I hope that every package arrives as perfectly as these. (Fingers crossed)By the way, the daily gems are individually wrapped. I have not received the energy gems so I’m not sure if they are wrapped as well.Overall: I love these supplements so far. These are the supplements of my dreams. No more capsules for me! ✌🏾

Nice idea ,but if you cannot enjoy it. What’s the point?
Did not taste good. Very grainy, gritty. Seemed like I was not supposed to eat it. Did not finish 1/2 a bite sized square.

Tastes like “more”
They taste great and are incredibly soothing, literally melt shortly after eating them, which is so nice because I often have a hard time turning off my brain. I just wish they were bigger because one just isn’t enough, but I don’t think it’s advised to eat multiple bites at a time unfortunately, ha!

Awesome nutritional support snack, recommend them to anyone with a compatible diet
GEM bites are phenomenal! These address nutritional gaps that just about everyone will have at some point or another. It tastes like chocolate banana bread. I love them.

Great taste- curb appetite
I have ordered several of these products. They really do curb your appetite. Come within a few days I will order again. They do taste good.
