The Best Protein Bars To Stock Up on Right Now, Rated by Experts

We brought in the pros to help you find the right bar for your goals

Maintaining a high protein diet is easier said than done, though. There are only so many eggs , chicken breasts and tofu stir fries you can eat, after all. However, with the help of the best protein bars — often in the form of chocolate covered snacks, brownies or cookies — hitting your protein goal can become significantly easier (and tastier). The best options contain 20-25g of protein; ideally, you should go for one that contains less than 300kcal — providing your goal isn't weight gain.

But be aware that not all protein bars are made equal. Some contain high levels of sugar and 'empty calories', meaning your healthy treat could be anything but. To cut costs, some brands add crystalline fructose, which delivers intense sweetness in small quantities. Consume too much of this ingredient and it can put you at risk of liver damage.

Wholegrain oat-blend protein bars are some of the most popular options, as they can provide up to 30 per cent of your RDA of fibre. Most protein bars are also bolstered with between 15 and 20 vitamins and minerals, with a focus on antioxidants and vitamins C and E, which will help ease DOMS.

Below, we've enlisted the help of two nutritionists — Jenna Hope (ANutr), MSc, BSc (Hons) and nutritionist Rob Hobson — to get their steer on what to look for in a protein bar. The M H Lab has also put a range of products to the test to bring you our edit of the best protein bars to stash in your gym bag. At a glance, here are our favourites:

Best all-rounder

Warrior crunch protein bar: white chocolate crisp.

Best for flavour range

Grenade carb killa: raspberry and dark chocolate.

Best for bulking

33fuel eroica natural protein bar.

Best protein treat

Optimum nutrition protein bar: chocolate sweet coconut.

Best for a filling snack

Phd protein flapjack: forest berries.

Best caramel treat

Phd smart protein bar: cookies & cream.

Best for sweet tooths

Macro munch protein bar: salted caramel.

Best low sugar option

Myprotein lean layered bar: chocolate and cookie dough.

Best sweet and salty flavour

Myprotein pop roll: salted caramel.

Best daytime snack

Foodspring protein extra bar: soft caramel, are protein bars healthy what should i look for.

To help you decipher what’s really inside your protein bar, take a look at the ingredients list. In an ideal world, most ingredients will be natural, and you’ll be able to recognise them. Think whey protein, nuts , seeds, milk , pea protein (v), soy (v) and egg, for starters. A lot of protein bars, especially vegan ones, contain high amounts of fibre, helping to support a healthy gut.

However, some can also pack a surprisingly high sugar content, which may be delivered in the synthetic form of sweeteners such as polydextrose or maltitol, so something to watch out for.

‘When you’re looking for protein bars, it’s important to consider the amount of saturated fats in each bar. Those that contain more than 5g per 100g are considered high in saturated fats,’ adds Hope. ‘Additionally, while these bars are a convenient source of protein, many of them (but not all) are made using artificial and highly processed ingredients.’

Are Protein Bars Good for Weight Loss?

To drop the kilos, you need to burn more calories than you’re consuming. Generally speaking, this means you’ll be eating smaller portions and cutting down the snacks. Bear in mind that most protein bars sit at approx. 200kcal with around 22-25g of protein per hit, which, for some people, is a significant amount of calories for a single serving of protein. A tin of tuna, a chicken breast, two large eggs or a scoop of protein powder would provide a similar hit of the muscle builder with fewer calories.

On the flipside, some protein bars are marketed as ‘meal replacement bars’, which can be eaten in place of a full meal, helping you eat fewer calories. It's important you don't rely on them regularly in place of complete meals, though. ‘While protein can aid satiety and leave you feeling fuller for longer, weight loss comes down to overall diet,’ says Hope.

When Should I Eat a Protein Bar?

There’s no right (or wrong) time to eat a protein bar, as they’re products made for convenience. Hope advises they ‘should be viewed as a convenient protein source or an alternative to a chocolate bar rather than a healthy snack. The artificial sweeteners can also contribute to cravings for sweet foods. Where possible, opt for protein bars that contain fibre and natural ingredients.’

Note: as with any supplement that you're using to help achieve your fitness goals – protein bars, powders etc. – remember they are just that, supplements, and you will always get more nutritional value from real foods.

How We Test

As part of our 2024 Sports Nutrition Awards , we asked a panel of sports nutritionists – Rob Hobson , Tai Ibitoye , Lee Amico and Sinead Roberts – to help us evaluate the best protein bars out there.

They got to work assessing each product based on the quality of its ingredients, nutritional make-up and formulation. Judging was extremely stringent and only the supplements that met their sky-high standards were put forward for further testing.

In the MH Lab, our panel of fitness fanatics, editors and food testers rated the bars on flavour, texture, aroma and convenience. Once all testing was complete, feedback and ratings were analysed, and final scores were awarded.

Protein bars stamped with the esteemed Sports Nutrition Awards logo are our experts’ 2024 winners. The remaining protein bars were tested previously by the MH Lab and a 200-strong panel of testers.

Here are our top recommendations.

Per 64g bar: 239kcal, 20g protein, 24g carbs, 11g fat

There are few things more annoying than biting into a protein bar after a gruelling sesh, only to find it tastes like sawdust. Well, good news, because the clever people at Warrior have killed it on the texture and flavour front – the oozing caramel layer, crunchy white chocolate shards and velvety Milky Bar-esque casing completely won over our panel.

It also contains negligible sugar and serves up a good hit of protein. Overall, an impressive performance for its price point.

Per 60g bar: 219kcal, 20g protein, 18g carbs, 9.7g fat

Making our top three for the second year running, Grenade bars remain a cult favourite for a reason. This version, which our panel likened to a Quality Street, is bursting with jammy raspberry caramel, doughy nougat and crispy pieces, all finished off in a smooth dark chocolate.

Not a fan of the fruit and chocolate taste combo? Don’t worry – there are 13 other flavours to sink your teeth into, including Oreo White Chocolate, Cookie Dough and Birthday Cake.

Per 100g pack, 409kcal, 20g protein, 43g carbs, 17g fat

This beast is higher in cals and carbs than any of the other bars we tested, making it a top choice if you’re on a muscle-building mission. It boasts a no-nonsense ingredients list – almonds, candied peels, egg white and brown rice protein, along with a fistful of spices and coconut sugar – which reminded our blind taste testers of fruit cake.

As a bonus, it comes in two 50g portions if you don’t fancy scoffing the whole thing at once. Serious restraint will be needed, though.

Per 59g bar: 255kcal, 18g protein, 19g carbs, 12g fat

This bar is just the ticket if you’re craving a little something sweet. With a decadent milk chocolate casing and perfectly soft, chewy coconut filling, we're confident you wouldn’t be able to tell this is a protein-enriched snack.

Still, it delivers a decent 18g of the muscle-building macro and provides a decent hit of carbs and fats to tide you over until dinner time. What can we say, ON has truly knocked it out of the park with this one.

Per 75g bar: 270kcal, 19g protein, 37g carbs, 6.6g fat

Looking for something that will keep you fuller for longer? This fruity flapjack, which packs a big hit of carbs for slow-release energy and a good amount of protein to boost your glycogen stores, deserves a spot in your snack cupboard.

Our panel thought it made a refreshing change from dense whey bars and loved the combination of chewy oats and sweet berry pieces, which is guaranteed to satisfy your afternoon sugar cravings.

PhD Smart Protein Bar: Cookies & Cream

Per 64g bar: 260kcal, 20g protein, 22g carbs, 12g fat

The experts at PhD are on a mission to create products that work smarter and taste great – which rings true with this cookies & cream flavoured bar.

The chewy centre contains a healthy 20g of protein and is topped with a layer of creamy caramel goodness and finished off with a crunchy topping for added texture, which had our testers in raptures. The best part? It comes in seven different flavours, including vanilla fudge, peanut butter and chocolate raspberry, to tide you over post-workout.

Per 62g bar: 232kcal, 20g protein, 21g carbs, 8.4g fat

The team at Bulk really knew what there were doing when they created the Macro Munch bar and its three layers of deliciousness.

Think 20g of protein encased in sweet, salted caramel clusters, smooth white chocolate and a chewy middle layer, which reminded our panel of rich, creamy butterscotch. And panic not – the fact it’s soft baked means your jaw won’t have to deal with an unnecessary workout.

Per 40g bar: 137kcals, 15g protein, 12g carbs, 3.2g fat

If you’re finding yourself craving something extra between meals, then this ‘soft and spongey’ textured bar is a tasty way to get an additional 15g of protein in.

Despite the indulgent triple chocolate flavour, our testers noted that it didn’t taste sickly sweet or overpowering, though it is slightly on the chewy side. The best part? Each bar contains less than 2g of sugar.

Per 27g bar: 94kcals, 7.8g protein, 9.7g carbs, 2.1g fat

If sweet and salty is your thing, then you’re going to want to try this Salted Caramel Pop Roll. It was likened to ‘dulce de leche’ by our testers who liked the balanced flavours.

Luckily for those wanting to get a sweet treat in without a high sugar content, this protein snack only contains 94 calories, 7.8g of protein and less than 5g of sugar. However, it does contain milk, wheat and soy, so it’s not one for those on a vegan or coeliac diet.

Per 45g bar: 346kcals, 12g protein, 14g carbs, 6.8g fat

Though a little lower in protein compared to others on our list, at 12g per bar, this packed a punch in terms of flavour with strong caramel and chocolate notes.

Our expert panel recommend this as a daytime snack rather than a post-workout one due to the lower protein and higher 6.8g fat content, which will slow down digestion at a time when you want a speedy hit of protein and carbs for muscle repair and recovery. Our MH Lab panel trialled the soft caramel flavour, but there are other nutty options crunchy peanut, white chocolate almond and crispy coconut.

Barebells Protein Bar: White Salty Peanut

Per 55g bar: 209kcal, 20g protein, 9.3g fat, 14g carbs

You wouldn’t necessarily know this offering from Barebells was a high protein supplement. In fact, many of our testers likened it to an indulgent white chocolate Snickers bar thanks to the chewy caramel, sweet white chocolate and salty peanut flavour.

Unlike a typical chocolate bar, though, it isn’t laden with added sugars, fat and artificial sweeteners. In fact, with 20g protein, 3.5g saturated fat and 1.5g sugar per bar, we were impressed with how macro-friendly it is.

Satisfying but not heavy on the stomach, our testers said this protein bar was ideal for a boost of energy before exercise or as a post-workout snack. As a high-protein, low-sugar treat, it’s hard to beat.

Maximuscle Maxi Nutrition Creamy Core Protein Bar: Peanut Caramel

Per 45g bar: 182kcal, 14g protein, 15g carbohydrates, 9.2g fat

This newly launched snack from Maximuscle scored highly for its decadent nutty caramel flavour. A little smaller than some other bars on the market, it comes in at a modest 182 calories with 14g of protein, but it made a big impact thanks to its liquid caramel core and crunchy chocolate and peanut coating.

It’s surprisingly low in sugar, too, – just 1.7g – and our panel described the texture and mouthfeel as spot on.

Fulfil Vitamin & Protein Bar: Chocolate Salted Caramel

Per 55g bar: 204kcal, 20g protein, 8.3g fat, 15g carbs

Salted caramel fans will love this rich, gooey protein snack, which resembles a classic chocolate bar. Our panel awarded it top marks for both flavour and texture, describing it as ‘chocolatey and sweet but not sickly’ and ‘soft with the perfect chew and creamy caramel’.

Taste aside, it also delivers on nutrition, serving up 20g protein and nine multi-vitamins, including C, B12 and E, which the brand claims can help reduce tiredness and boost your metabolism. In terms of sugar, each 55g bar contains just 1.4g, so it’s an ideal swap for your go-to 3pm treat.

If salted caramel isn’t for you, the other flavours are equally enticing – we like the sound of milk chocolate and mint.

5 Protein Bar Alternatives That Are Cheaper & Healthier

You’ve been focusing on your protein intake lately, but either getting tired of processed protein bars or you’re just looking for a less expensive or better-for-you option.

So, what are the best alternatives to protein bars?  There are many whole foods that are great sources of protein, as well as protein powders, other types of commercial high-protein foods, and ready-made protein shakes that are all less expensive and processed than protein bars. Also, you can opt to make a homemade protein bar, which can have several health benefits.

I’ll cover all of these options in this article, as well as reasons why you might consider an alternative to a processed protein bar.

Alternatives to Protein Bars

When you are eating one or more protein bars per day, the cost can really add up.  

Plus, processed protein bars aren’t necessarily as nutrient dense as other options, and they can contain additives and artificial ingredients that leave you looking for alternatives that are better for you.  

I’ll cover other, less expensive ways to get a similar protein intake to a protein bar from the following sources:

• Whole food options
• Protein powder
• Other commercial high-protein foods
• Ready-made protein drinks
• Homemade protein bars

1.  Whole Food Options

There are many whole foods that are sources of protein.  

Check out the table below for foods that are naturally high in protein, and compare the cost per serving to an average protein bar.

Note that prices vary from brand to brand and from retailer to retailer in different locations.  Prices are representations based on the time of publication. 

As you can see, there are many plant- and animal-based whole foods that provide roughly the same amount of protein as a 60g protein bar, but at a lower cost per serving.  

Only steak was a more expensive choice, and only by a few cents.  Most of the options are only a fraction of the cost.

Also, whole foods generally undergo much less processing to get them in a state that is ready to eat.  

Consuming nutrients from whole foods, compared to supplementation, has positive impacts on health including improved immunity , meaning you get sick less often and less severely.  

Consuming nutrients from whole foods is even shown to have a positive impact on maintaining muscle mass and muscle health for older adults.  This means that you can continue to stay active and in good health.

There are many whole food sources of protein that also provide the benefits of additional naturally-occuring micronutrients, which makes them even better for you than protein bars.

2.  Protein Powder

I considered many different protein types in my review, including both animal (whey and egg) sources as well as plant-based sources (soy, hemp, pea, brown rice, and plant protein blends).  

On average, a 30g scoop of protein powder costs $1.29 based on buying a whole jar or package, although prices do vary from brand to brand and from retailer to retailer in different locations. 

Each scoop provides 23g of protein on average, which is more than the 18g of protein in an average 60g protein bar.

This means that you can actually get more grams of protein from a scoop of protein powder than from a protein bar, but for roughly half the cost (46% less).

Even when you include the cost of mixing protein powder with milk or juice, it is still less than the cost of a protein bar.  An 8-oz (240mL) serving of milk or juice is only ~$0.25-$0.50 when you buy a carton.

There are many protein powders that do not contain any added ingredients, meaning you can avoid sugar alcohols, artificial colors, sweeteners and preservatives.  

Protein powders are less likely to contain added ingredients such as sugar alcohols and other sweeteners which can make them better for you than protein bars.  Check the labels carefully and opt for unflavored versions.

3.  Commercial High-Protein Foods

In addition to protein bars, there are other forms of commercially processed high-protein foods that actually cost less than protein bars, but provide a similar amount of protein per serving.

Example #1: Muscle Mac High Protein Mac & Cheese Original

Since I have a background in competitive swimming myself, I think it’s pretty cool that Muscle Mac was invented because one of the partners at Quality Pasta Company had a daughter who was a competitive swimmer who was struggling to get the protein she needed while keeping her energy up for training.

Muscle Mac is a better-for-you macaroni & cheese that tastes great and solves the need for more protein in a high-energy format.

Muscle Mac comes in a familiar-looking box and each box provides two servings.  Boxes are sold in a case of 10, currently at a price of $36.50 for a case ($3.65 for a box).  

In a ½ box (96g) serving of Muscle Mac Mac & Cheese Original Cheddar :

• Calories : 390
• Protein : 20g
• Carbs : 54g (7g sugar; 0g added sugar; 2g fiber)
• Sodium : 620mg

Since each serving provides 20g of protein, this is comparable to a protein bar.  At a price of $3.65 per box, this means $1.83 per serving which is 24% less than the average $2.40 cost of a protein bar.

Muscle Mac has a short list of recognizable ingredients, and it uses GMO-free pasta.

Example #2: Magic Spoon Cereal

Magic Spoon Cereal has made internet waves with its “childlike cereal for grown-ups.”  The side of the box proclaims it “The High-Protein, Keto-Friendly, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Soy-Free, Wheat-Free, Naturally Flavored, Totally Delicious, Childlike Cereal for Grown-Ups.” 

As someone who regularly checks out and reviews high-protein products, I definitely have to agree with them on “totally delicious.”  

The most common way to buy Magic Spoon cereal is in a four-box case of cereal.  

The price is usually $39.00 US for four boxes, so $9.75 per box.  Each box is 7oz (196g), and a serving of cereal is 1oz (28g) – this is comparable to the stated serving size for many brands of cereal.  This works out to $1.39 per 1oz serving.

In a 1oz (28g) serving of Magic Spoon:

• Calories : ~110 (varies slightly depending on the flavor)
• Protein : 13g
• Carbs : 4-5g (0g sugar; 2g fiber)
• Sodium : 60mg

To get a comparable amount of protein to an average 60g protein bar, you would need to eat 1.5 oz (42g) of Magic Spoon cereal to get 19.5g of protein.  This would mean a cost of $2.09, which is still 13% less than the average $2.40 cost of a protein bar.

Notice also that Magic Spoon is free of common allergens (gluten, soy and wheat) and its ingredients and macros mean that it can work for various dietary approaches (e.g. low-carb/keto, gluten-free, and grain-free).

Example #3: Quest Protein Tortilla Chips

Quest Nutrition is very well known for its protein bars, but the brand also branched out into other high-protein products including protein chips that are similar to potato chips and tortilla chips.

The bags of chips come in cases of 8 for a price of $18.99, which works out to $2.37 per bag.

In a 1.1oz (32g) bag of Quest Protein Chips :

• Calories : ~140 (varies slightly depending on the flavor)
• Protein : 19g
• Carbs : 5g (1g sugar; 1g fiber)
• Sodium : 340mg

The price of $2.37 per bag is just slightly less than the average price of $2.40 for a protein bar. 

Also, Quest chips have nearly 100 fewer calories than the average protein bar (237 calories), so that could be an important consideration for someone looking to manage their overall calorie intake, e.g. for weight loss.

• If you’re interested in low-calorie chips, definitely check out my other article: 13 Lowest Calorie Chips (Top Picks for 2022) .

Ready-Made Protein Drinks

On average, protein bars cost about 14% more than ready-made protein shakes ($2.40 for a 60g protein bar vs. $2.10 for an 11 fl oz shake), although prices do vary from brand to brand and from retailer to retailer. 

This means that ready-made protein shakes are cheaper than protein bars.   

Ready-made protein shakes also have MORE protein per serving (24g of protein, based on 11 fl oz) than the average 60g protein bar (18g of protein).  

Protein shakes are more likely to contain added vitamins and minerals.

Protein shakes are also less likely to contain sugar alcohols, which can cause digestive distress such as diarrhea, bloating, gas, and stomach aches.

Protein shakes have more protein on average than protein bars, they are more likely to contain added vitamins and minerals, and they are less likely to contain sugar alcohols.  These are all reasons why protein shakes can be better for you than protein bars.

Homemade Protein Bars

There are several benefits of making your own protein bars at home.  You will have full control over the ingredients.  You will know exactly what and how much goes into your bars, and how they were made.  

This offers the following benefits:

• More accurate macros : when you have selected, weighed and measured the ingredients yourself, you can be confident that you truly know the calorie count and macronutrient profile of the protein bars.  
• More custom macros: when you are in charge of the ingredients, you can customize bars to suit your macronutrient needs, making each macronutrient as high or as low as you want per serving.
• More suitable for your personal dietary needs : when you are in control of the ingredients, you can make protein bars to suit your exact needs such as gluten-free or kosher or organic (or several requirements together).
• More suitable to your tastes: when you make your own protein bars, you can make the exact flavors that you want, and add whatever you want such as raisins, chocolate chips, nuts or seeds, etc.
• Less processing : when you prepare protein bars at home, there is less processing to reach the final product than in a commercial  manufacturing facility.
• Less likely to contain allergens : when you control the ingredients and the preparation area, you can have confidence that there is no risk of cross-contamination compared to a large manufacturing facility that also processes products containing allergens.

Here are my favorite 3 recipes for homemade protein bars and balls.

Running To The Kitchen High Protein Cinnamon Cake Bars – Best Overall

I first discovered this recipe years ago, and it’s been on repeat in my arsenal since then.  The soft fluffy texture is much more like a coffee cake than a thick, chewy protein bar.  This is a great snack to have with tea or coffee.

Based on nine servings: Calories 120 (9P-18C-2F).   This will vary slightly depending on the exact ingredients that you use.

Feeding My Addiction Protein Nanaimo Bars – Best Dessert Replacement

Every year during my Christmas holidays, I make these protein Nanaimo bars instead of the traditional high-calorie, high-sugar version.  My family can’t even tell the difference anymore.  As a bonus, they are no-bake bars.

Based on sixteen servings: Calories 230 (12P-20C-13F).  This will vary slightly depending on the exact ingredients that you use.

Running with Spoons No Bake Brownie Bites – Best Vegan Option

These soft bites are actually shaped into balls, but you could press the dough into a bar shape as well.  

The recipe is dairy- and gluten-free, and there is an option to make these vegan, based on the protein powder that you choose. My favourite vegan protein is Sunwarrior Classic Vegan Sprouted Brown Rice Protein Powder – Chocolate – I use it in this recipe and in many others. 

Based on a dozen balls, two balls per serving: Calories 140 (8P-20C-4F).   This will vary slightly depending on the exact ingredients that you use.

Reasons for Protein Bar Alternatives

The primary reasons for seeking alternatives to protein bars can be summarized as:

• Sweeteners/sugar content
• Digestive issues
• Degree of processing

I’ll cover each of these reasons in turn, next.

For each gram of protein that they provide, protein bars are one of the most expensive options in terms of sources of protein.  I provided many alternatives that have a similar number of grams per serving, but at a much lower cost.  

You can also make your own homemade protein bars.  The cost of those will depend on the ingredients you choose. 

Sweeteners/Sugars

As mentioned, processed protein bars often contain sugar alcohols, which can cause digestive distress for some people.  

Other protein bars are very high in various forms of added sugar.  For example, a Clif Builder’s Bar has cane syrup, cane sugar, brown rice syrup and chicory fiber syrup – four different kinds of added sweeteners.

Picking from the list of alternatives (whole foods, protein powder, other commercial high-protein foods, or ready-made protein shakes) or making your own protein bars allows you to consume only the sweeteners that work for you, or none at all.

Digestive Issues

Both the presence of sugar alcohols and the relatively high fiber content of processed protein bars can cause digestive problems for some people.  On average, protein bars have 5.7g of fiber per 60g serving, which makes them a high-fiber food .

For people suffering from IBS , Crohn’s disease , ulcerative colitis , or gastritis , the impacts can be even greater.  

Choosing lower-fiber alternatives and/or picking options without sugar alcohols can alleviate digestive distress.

Degree of Processing

Commercial protein bars are heavily processed in large manufacturing facilities to create a standardized product that has a long shelf life.  

They often contain obscure-sounding ingredients like isomalto-oligosaccharides (roughly 60% as sweet as sugar, it is a lower-calorie sweetener added as a powder or a syrup).  Government health organizations recommend limiting intake to a maximum of 30g per day .

Studies show that ultra-processed foods are linked to unhealthy dietary patterns , leading to obesity, and the advice is to minimize these highly processed products.

When you focus on whole food sources of protein or make your own protein bars from scratch, you get protein sources that have undergone much less processing.

Final Thoughts

Regardless of your reasons for seeking out protein bar alternatives, you can see that there are many options available that are cheaper and better for you.

Description

Additional information.

• Reviews (0)

A University President Robe is the same as our professional doctoral gown, however with the addition of an extra velvet doctoral bar on each sleeve.

Seen here in this photo of Whittier University President Herzberger, the extra bars present an added level of elegance and authority to the Presidents Gown.

Adding Presidential Bars to a Professional doctoral gown or choir robe is an extra $25.00 per set. We cannot add a set of bars to a Verona style robe. Please note that if you are buying just the bars without a robe, there may be a minimum order fee (for the total of your entire order, not just this product) of $50 during the busy graduation season of April through June.

PLEASE NOTE: BY PURCHASING THESE BARS, YOU ARE NOT PURCHASING THE ROBE WITH IT – JUST THE EXTRA BARS. To purchase the robe, you will need to buy a Professional Doctoral Gown separately (and these bars as an additional item). If purchasing multiple gowns, please be sure to mention in the comments section of your order which Professional gown you want the extra bars added to.

THE BEST HEALTHY, TASTY PROTEIN BARS IN THE UK: 42 BARS REVIEWED AND RATED

JUST TELL ME THE BEST BAR…

The best protein bar available in the UK I’ve tested in terms of taste, cost-effectiveness, protein content and calories has to be the Snickers Hi-Protein Peanut Butter. It’s one of the few bars in the list that’s actually on a par with a regular chocolate/candy bar (I think it’s even better than regular Snickers).

Table of Contents

Protein Powders have been around for decades now and provide a cheap, convenient and tasty way to get in a good amount of protein on the go (for the best My Protein Whey flavours, click here ).

But are they really THAT convenient?

Having a protein shake on the go still requires crying around a big bulky shaker, finding a water supply (ideally not the sinks in a public toilet) and then mixing the shake up (which can often result in brown liquid being sprayed everywhere if the lid isn’t on tight enough).

This is where protein bars come in. 

They offer all the convenience and speed of a shake, in the form of a bar that can be carried around unrefrigerated and eaten anywhere, at any time.

They taste great as well – at least some of them do. 

In fact, the better bars can rival regular chocolate bars for taste and texture. 

The only downside to protein bars is that they’re much more costly than shakes (gram for gram of protein) AND they contain more calories; a typical scoop of protein powder comes in at around 100 calories for 20g of protein, while most bars exceed the 200 calorie mark for the same amount of protein.

Nevertheless, a protein bar makes a great portable snack that ticks both the protein content AND taste boxes, but with so many on the market in 2021, how do you pick the right one?

Well you’ve come to the right place; below I’ll review 30 of the most popular protein bars on the market in the UK and tell you which are the best for taste, cost and protein content, here we go;

N.B. When reviewing these bars I am NOT going to mention sugar content. despite all of the bad press, unless you’re consuming vast quantities of sugar, there is nothing inherently bad or ‘evil’ about sugar.

Before we get going, you might want to know what the best bar is for your specific goal, so rather than make you read the entire post, here are my recommendations.

THE BEST PROTEIN BAR FOR MUSCLE BUILDING

Technically, when it comes to muscle gain, more protein is better, so you’ll want to be buying bars with higher protein contents more often than not. The general consensus in the scientific community is that you be getting a minimum of 1.5g of protein per pound of bodyweight to gain muscle, that means, if you weigh 80 kg you should be looking to get 120 g of protein per day, spread evenly across 3-5 meals. That means you need to be aiming for between 24-40 g of protein per meal.

Most protein bars come in at around the 20 g of protein mark but there are a select few that pack a slighter higher protein hit. The one with the highest amount of protein that I’ve reviewed is the Caramel Chaos Grenade Carb Killa . This has 23g of protein for 214 calories which is the best calorie to protein ratio out there. Stick with these if you’re trying to gain muscle.

The top 5 bars for muscle gain are as follows;

• Grenade Carb Killa (Caramel Chaos flavour)
• Quest Bar (Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Flavour)
• Battle Bites (Glazed Donut Flavour)
• Fulfill Protein and Vitamin Bar (Chocolate Brownie Flavour)
• Warrior Diet Bar (Strawberry and White Chocolate Flavour)

All these bars pack at least 20g of protein, and contain 200 calories or less, making them perfect for building muscle while being efficient with calories.

THE BEST PROTEIN BAR FOR WEIGHT LOSS

The simple fact is that if you’re trying to lose weight, you need to be in a calorie deficit , which means eating fewer calories than you use every day. The easiest way to do this is to not drastically change your diet – if you do you won’t be able to adhere and you’ll just end up quitting. Instead, you need to find low-calorie swaps for your favourite foods – including protein bars! The lowest calorie protein bar out there is the Maximuscle high protein bar. This contains 174 calories and 15 g of protein. This isn’t much lower than the typical average of 200 calories but is a LOT lower than some of the bars out there which can contain over 250 calories.

The top 5 protein bars for weight loss are as follows;

• Misfits Plant Powered (Speculoos flavour)
• Maximuscle Hi-Protein Bar (Cinamon Swirl flavour)
• Warrior Doet Bar (Strawberry and White Chocolate flavour)
• CNP Pro (Chocolate Brownie flavour)
• Protein Pow (Snickerdoodle flavour)

All these bars pack under 200 calories, meaning they’re a snack that can fit into most people’s diets, even those with low-calorie targets. Be aware that lower-calorie bars do also tend to be lower in protein,

THE TASTIEST PROTEIN BAR

This is a tough one because there are a lot of tasty bars on the list. I’m a big fan of most of the Carb Killa flavours, they seem to nail it every time but I wouldn’t say they’re the absolute best taste-wise. The Mars, Snickers and Bounty Protein bars are just like the real thing and really tasty in their own right but you feel like you’re missing out a little because they’re not quite as good as the full fat full sugar bars. My favourite from a taste point of view is actually the Warrior Crunch bars, these are similar in size and texture but just edge it on the flavour front for me with some delicious versions like Dark Chocolate Peanut, Key Lime Pie and Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake. The downside? These bars pack 250 + calories!

The top 5 tastiest bars are as follows;

• Protein Pantry (Cherry Bakewell flavour)
• Snickers Hi-Protein Bar
• Grenade Carb Killa (Dark Chocolate Raspberry flavour)
• Oatein Hype Bar (Milk and Cookies Flavour)
• My Protein Layered (Peanut Butter Flavour)

Unsurprisingly, the tastier bars do tend to be the ones that are higher in calories… You can’t have it all folks.

WHATS THE BEST BUDGET PROTEIN BAR?

As you can see there is quite a variation in the cost of protein bars, with most of them ranging from £1-4 . If you’re only buying protein bars very occasionally the cost probably won’t bother you too much, but if you’re buying bars on a regular basis you’ll want to be making sure you’re getting the best value for money. The cheapest bar on this list is the ‘Eat Natural’ bar at just 99p, but it’s not necessarily the best value since it only contains 10g of protein. The cheapest bar with 20 g of protein or more is the Battle bites and Fulfil bars; so I’d say stick to these if you’re looking for effectiveness and value for money.

The other thing to consider is that the price of all of these bars will vary depending on if stores have a sale on and exactly where you buy them from. If you’re buying these bars somewhere in central London or at an Airport, expect to pay more. If you’re buying them from a petrol station they could be a lot cheaper, or they might even have ‘3 for 2’ offers on. The cheapest you’ll be able to get these bars for is if you buy them in packs (usually packs of 12). Shop around and you’ll get the best deal!

WHICH IS THE BEST PROTEIN BAR?

Grenade carb killa.

Flavour reviewed: Cookie Dough

Protein: 20g

Calories:  218

Cost: £2.29

Carb Killas are the undisputed king of protein bars, they definitely weren’t the first ones around, but they really did perfect the recipe, they’re great all-rounders, being relatively low in calories with an acceptable amount of protein. 

The Cookie Dough flavour is one of my all-time favourites, with a thick, chewy centre dotted with generous amounts of chocolate chips, and coated chocolate.

The best thing about Carb Killas is that Grenade are constantly bringing out new flavours, AND they get better and better. If you just want to know what the best Grenade bars are, check out my separate reviews.

Carb Killas aren’t the best bar on the market, but they’re a good all-rounder, and very widely available.

Flavour reviewed : Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Protein: 21g

Calories: 200

Cost: £2.46

Quest are the OG of protein bars, when they were first released there was very little competition around… And it shows. Once upon a time, these were revolutionary, but the newer bars on the market have left them behind.

Quest bars are generally very solid, very chewy blocks that lack flavour aside from a very false, very chewing gum-like sweetness. Bland, and no fun to eat.

BATTLE BITES

Flavour Reviewed: Carrot Cake

Calories: 220

Cost: £2.04

The best thing about Battle Bites? They come in two separate ‘bites’ so you can easily save one for later. Not that you’d be that enthusiastic about doing so, despite the fancy packaging and cool, unique sounding flavours , the taste leaves a LOT to be desired.

Being a huge Carrot Cale fan I was excited to try the Carrot cake flavour, thinking it might have a soft cake-y filling with frosting-like covering. Nope. It pretty much much tasted of nothing, and after eating it the only battle I felt like having was with their legal department over the labelling of this being anything resembling Carrot cake.

BATTLE BITES DYNA BAR

Flavour Reviewed : Chocolate Fondant

Protein : 18

Cost : £2.45

Calories : 243

This is a really unique bar in terms of the texture; most protein bars are quite chewy and dense but this had a super soft truffle-like filling. Think Lindt Lindor and you’re on the right track, as far as I know there is no other protein bar on the market with this sort of texture so if you’re bored of the same old thing and want a change, this is for you.

This is a super indulgent bar however and the decadent taste and texture does come with a cost, that cost is 243 calories which is quite high considering this bar only has 18g of protein. I’d say this would be an occasional treat rather than an everyday bar, but I’d definitely try one if taste is important to you.

Flavour reviewed: Chocolate Brownie

Calories: 197

Cost: £2.16

Fulfil bars are massively underrated, whether that’s because of the uninspiring name, the lack of marketing, or the understated branding and packaging I don’t know, but let any of that fool you, these are GOOD bars!

There are a ton of flavours, meaning that regardless of how sweet your tooth ism they’ll be something out there for you.

The flavour I tried was the Chocolate Brownie, somehow they managed to recreate a moist cake-like texture of a brownie, highly impressive. The Salted Caramel Fullfill also deserves a special mention here as one of the best bars I’ve ever tried full stop.

Fulfil bars also tend to be slightly cheaper than most of these other options – you really can’t go wrong with these

OATIEN HYPE

Flavour reviewed: Milk and Cookies

Protein: 19g

Oatein Hype bars are relatively new players on the protein bar market but they’ve come in all guns blazing with a very impressive bar.

The best thing about the Hype bars is that they’re super soft, something that can’t be said for most of the other bars here, and this makes eating these more akin to having a ‘regular’ chocolate bar.

The Milk and Cookies flavour is oddly named because there’s no real Milk aspect going on, but it’s pretty darned good nonetheless. One of the best on this list.

OATEIN MILLIONAIRE CRUNCH

Flavour reviewed : Hazelnut Caramel

Protein: 15g

Calories: 243

Cost : £2.25

Another unusual bar, although in all fairness this can’t really be called a bar, it’s more of a ‘slice’. This is clearly meant to be a take on Millionaires Shortbread, which isn’t my favourite treat but in all fairness, this does make an interesting alternative to a bar.

And this is pretty close to the real thing, the base is biscuity and crunchy without being too dry, the middle (whatever’s in it) is moist and there’s a generously thick chocolate coating on top. Unfortunately, like a lot of the products on this list that try to make a departure from the tried and tested ‘bar’ format, the calories are just too high and the protein is too low.

At 15g, this doesn’t really have enough protein to be a standalone protein snack, but it is tasty and a welcome change taste and texture-wise from the same old bars.

MY PROTEIN LAYERED

Flavour reviewed : Chocolate Peanut Butter

Calories: 219

My Protein are one of the biggest sports nutrition brands in the UK and the kings of whey protein powder (find out what the best whey flavours are here ) but they’ve recently diversified into the protein bar game. And they’ve done a great job, the layered bars live up to their name, comprising of two layers – in this case, a layer of soft peanut butter, and a chocolate cake-like base, all coated in chocolate. The taste is bold and distinctive and the variation in textures makes it interesting to eat. A very good bar.

Flavour reviewed: Crunchy Fudge

Calories: 203

Cost: £2.32

Barebells haven’t been around as long as Carb Killas, but they’re almost as synonymous – I see these in most petrol stations in the UK now, and they don’t set the world on fire, but they do provide some nice alternative flavours.

Texture-wise, they’re pretty good, kinda soft but kinda chewy at the same time. I like the chewiness because it means they take longer to eat, but it might be a bit much for some people.

The Crunchy Fudge is good but didn’t blow me away.

A good fallback option

BAREBELLS DOUBLE BITE

Flavour reviewed: Caramel Crisp

Protein: 17g

Calories: 199

Cost: £1.95

These are quite different from the regular Barebells in that the inside is crispier rather than chewy. I personally prefer these as they’re not such a chore to eat – the inside is a lot like a Rice Krispy Square; kinda crunchy but also kinda sticky. The only downside is that these are a bit lower in protein than the standard bars.

USN TRUST COOKIE BAR

Flavour Reviewed: White Chocolate Raspberry

Protein: 16g

Calories: 242

Cost: £2.36

Somewhat unique in that this is a cookie/bar hybrid, the USN Trust Cooke Bar offers something a little different, and it’s a welcome change from the usual nougat/chocolate combos on this list. The cookie part is moist enough and the chocolate chips are generous, although there’s not a huge amount of raspberry flavour going on. The downside with this is that it’s quite low in protein and high in calories, so not the best choice nutrition-wise if you’re dieting.

WARRIOR CRUNCH

Flavour reviewed: Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake

Calories: 251

Cost: £2.07

Warrior Crunch Bars live up to their name; they have a central chewy core, surrounded by crunchy biscuit-like pieces, coated with milk or white chocolate. This makes this one of the more interesting and substantial bars on this list.

There is also a lot of innovation from Warrior on the flavour front, the Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake was good, but the Key Lime Pie is even better, combining a citrusy zing with smooth white chocolate, a genuinely refreshing combination.

PHD SMART BAR

Flavour Reviewed: Birthday Cake

Calories: 236

Cost: £2.49

Smart bars are VERY similar in shape, size and texture to warrior crunch, and have just as many innovative flavours.

Birthday cake is a flavour that’s generally executed pretty poorly by most brands but the PHD version is fantastic – as is the Missisipi Mud pie, probably the chocolatey-est chocolate protein bar out there.

Like Warrior Crunch bars, these have a real varity of textures with a soft centre, crunchy bits, a chcolate outter layer and, depending on tbe flavour, some sprinkles or extra drizzled chcolate.

PHD SMART PLANT BAR

Flavour Reviewed: Vanilla Fudge

Calories: 265

As good as the regular PHD bars are, the Vegan version is simply awful. This isn’t a reflection on PHD, more that it’s clearly very difficult to make a good tasting Vegan bar.

The inside is dry, crumbly, and tastes like soil. Also 20g of Vegan protein is unlikely to be sufficient to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. This is better than nothing and obviously, the only option of you’re vegan, but otherwise, avoid this at all costs.

MAXIMUSCLE HIGH PROTEIN

Flavour Reviewed: Cinnamon Swirl

Calories: 174

Maximuscle have been around for a long time, I think their protein powder was one of the first brands I ever bought but they’ve never been well known for their bars.

Well, they’re getting in on the game now and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised.

The other reason I respect Maximuscle is because they’ve released a cinnamon flavour, something I haven’t seen from any brand. As for the bar, it’s good, but I’m a huge cinnamon fan so I’m probably biased.

There’s nothing super stand-out about this bar, the texture is pretty run of the mill. Not bad. Extra point for the cinnamon.

M&MS HI-PROTEIN BAR

Flavour Reviewed: Peanut

Calories: 209

The fact that an M&Ms Protein bar exists is kinda cool because there isn’t even a regular M&Ms bar on the shelves (at least not in the UK).

Sadly these don’t QUITE live up to the name, yes it’s a chocolate and peanut butter bar with M&Ms in, but the M&Ms are small, and they’re few and far between, which is a shame because this could have been a great bar.

Don’t get me wrong though, it’s still very good, you can’t go wrong with M&Ms, even if they are tiny.

SNICKERS HI-PROTEIN BAR

Flavour Reviewed: Peanut Butter

Calories : 225

I’m going to say something really controversial here, and a lot of you aren’t going to like it, but… These are better than actual regular Snickers Bars.

They’re softer, nutter, and the peanut chunks are bigger and crunchier. The only downside is that they’re a bit smaller than regular Snickers. Apart from that, faultless. A god-level protein bar.

MARS HI-PROTEIN BAR

Flavour reviewed : Salted Caramel

Like the Snickers bar, this tastes very similar to the ‘real’ thing, the biggest difference is the thickness of the chocolate coating, but as for the nougat and caramel, I personally wouldn’t notice a difference. It’s a little chewier than a normal Mars but I personally don’t mind that. Nowhere near the level of the Snickers bar but another solid option.

BOUNTY HI-PROTEIN BAR

Flavour reviewed : N/A

Protein : 18g

Calories : 207

Cost: £2.50

As with the Mars and Snickers bars, this is true to its original form and again, in my opinion, surpasses it. This even comes with desiccated coconut sprinkled on the bar – you don’t get that with regular ol’ Bounties! The coconut filling definitely isn’t as moist but that didn’t really ruin it for me, it still has a great flavour and is relatively soft.

MOUNTAIN JOE’S PROTEIN GRANOLA BAR

Flavour Reviewed: Original

Protein: 12g

Calories: 260

Cost: £1.99

This is gonna get a bad review. it feels unfair because the fact that the bar is 100% Vegan and only has 12g of protein is clearly labelled on the pack, but 12g of Protein is simply too low when compared to the competition (most of which have 20g+), especially when the bar itself is underwhelming.

I happen to like a Granola/Flapjack like bar but this was just too dry and crumbly. Either have a proper protein bar, or a regular flapjack.

PROTEIN POW

Flavour Reviewed: Snickerdoodle

Calories: 196

I was majorly disappointed by this for two reasons, I’ve been following Protein Pow for some time, they do some great recipes. Secondly, I love the packaging design on this and of all the bars I reviewed, it’s by far the coolest. Unfortunately, the bar doesn’t live up to its wrapper – this is really bland tasting and the texture is way too same-y – this is very much like a Quest bar but with way less protein. These are Vegan, but they’re not even the best Vegan bar out there. Avoid.

OPTIMUM NUTRITION WHIPPED BITES

Flavour Reviewed: Chocolate

Calories: 244

I like these because they’re kind of unique, they’re very much individual ‘bites’ rather than a bar, and the filling is very soft and mousse-like, something I haven’t seen from any other bar.

These only come in two flavours, but a word of warning; the Strawberry is not good; kinda false tasing and chemical-y. Stick to the Chocolate version which is good.

PROTEIN PANTRY

Flavour Reviewed: Cherry Bakewell

Calories: 256

Cost: £3.75

The fact that Protein Pantry are always sold out is a testament to how much the protein bar market has grown and how there are now niche markets developing.

Protein Pantry are different from all the others on this list in that they’re not mass-produced. They’re hand-made to order and the quality is out of this world.

The cherry Bakewell is my favourite (so far) and i’m not exaggerating when I say this is better than an actual Cherry Bakewell Tart – and better than a lot of desserts I’ve tried (I’ve tried a lot).

The texture is much cakier than other bars, with a solid block of white chocolate – and a cherry, of course, topping it off, plus a layer of jam in the middle.

This really is a pleasure to eat. The only down is the calories – they are much higher than most other bars, and the cost, these aren’t cheap but I still think they’re good value because the quality is so high.

SWOLESOME FOODS

Flavour reviewed: Spread the Love

Protein : 20g

Calories : 294

Cost : £3.95

I’ve strategically placed this below the Protein Pantry entry because it’s a very similar style of bar. In fact, to call this a bar wouldn’t be doing it any justice, this is more of an artisan dessert with quirky flavour names and cool bespoke packaging.

This particular flavour is called ‘Spread the Love’ which is basically peanut butter and jelly, but it’s really not just that. This has a cake-y structure with a layer of peanut butter and strawberry jam coated in a thick layer of chocolate, with two little bits of french toast on top. I’m not going to hold back, this bar/dessert/thing is delicious and like the Protein Pantry products, you wouldn’t know this was a ‘protein’ themed snack.

It’s really different and creative and you wouldn’t be disappointed if you got this in a cake shop (is a cake shop even a thing?!). The thing is, the calories are higher than Protein Pantry by quite a bit, although it does have a decent 20g of protein.

Given the fact that this costs almost £4 and has nearly 300 calories, I can’t seriously recommend this as an everyday bar, and I’ve given it one less point than Protein Pantry but you do HAVE to try one.

CNP PRO PROTEIN BAR

Flavour Reviewed : Chocolate Brownie

Protein : 14g

Calories : 194

Cost: £2.45

CNP is a really old school sports nutrition brand and I’m surprised it’s taken them this long to jump on the protein bar bandwagon, but they have, and it’s not bad!

They have a Chocolate brownie flavour so obviously, I chose that because Chocolate Brownie – the bar is slightly smaller than most other protein bars and it comes in at 194 calories which is at the lower end of the scale.

The problem is it only packs 14g of protein which just isn’t enough in my book, especially for 194 calories. Taste-wise, this is pretty good if you like rich dark chocolate, the texture is crumbly rather than chewy so it falls short of replacing the texture of a brownie but it’s still satisfying.

Not bad but it falls short of being elite bar because the protein is too low and it just doesn’t a ‘wow’ factor

MISFITS PLANT-POWERED PROTEIN BAR

Flavour Reviewed: Chocolate Speculoos

Protein : 15g

Calories: 178

Cost: £2.39

As you can probably tell from my other Vegan bar reviews on this list, I’m not the biggest fan of plant-based bars.

It’s not a principle thing (ok, it is a bit), it’s mainly because they just don’t taste as good. In fact, a lot of them taste like soil. 

Misfits fix that, while not up there with Carb Killas in the taste league, their plant-based bar is tasty. I went for the Chocolate Speculoos because I’m a huge Biscoff fan (Speculoos is basically the non-trademarked name for Biscoff). Sadly, it tastes nothing like Biscoff but it’s still good, it’s more like a chocolate cookie, with a crunchy-ish texture.

This is a low calorie, low protein bar so it’s not ideal if you’re looking to build muscle, but if you HAVE to have a Vegan bar, this is the best I’ve tried

USN TRUST CRUNCH BAR

Flavour Reviewed: White Chocolate Cookie Dough

Calories: 212

Cost: £2.79

I’m a big fan of these. They definitely live up to their name, with a crunch outer coating covered in crispy balls (lol), the inside however is super soft and has a layer of semi-liquid caramel stuff – very similar in structure to a Carb Killa, but I think these have the edge.

This flavour was similar to the very popular White Chocolate Cookie Dough Carb Killa but I’d go as far as to say it was better. The bar is bigger as well and the calories and protein are almost exactly the same. Highly recommended.

LARRY AND LENNYS COMPLETE COOKIE

Flavour Reviewed: White Chocolate Macadamia

Calories: 460

Cost: £2.15

Ok so this isn’t strictly a bar, it’s a cookie, but that isn’t the thing that’s stopping it competing with everything else on this list.

Just look at those calories; 460, 460! And only 16g of protein. That’s really poor.

In fact, if you’re trying to lose weight, you’d be much better off with A protein shake and a regular chocolate bar, both of which you could have for fewer calories than this cookie.\

Having said that, it’s good. In fact it’s better than some regular cookies I’ve tried. It’s chewy, soft and has quite a few chips (but not many Macadamias).

So use this as an occasional treat, not an everyday thing.

MUSCLE MOOSE BEAVER BAR

Flavour Reviewed: Choc Caramel

Muscle Moose are more famous for, well, Moose, so they’re fairly new to the protein bar game. This bar definitely wins the award for best name on this list, but don’t worry, the protein doesn’t come from ground up Beaver meat. 

In fact, the biggest thing that stands out about this bar is that it’s pretty uninspiring despite the cool packaging and wacky name – don’t get me wrong the taste is good, although I couldn’t detect any Caramel, and the calories and protein fall within acceptable ranges, it’s just a bit boring..

The texture is quite light and really easy to eat which is a plus, and the bar comes in two separate sticks (a bit like a Kit Kat) which means it’s easier to ration if you’re dieting.

Ultimately nothing to write home about.

WANA WAFF AND CREAM

Flavour reviewed : Coca and Peanut Butter

Protein : 13g

Calories : 251

This bar is frankly bizarre. From the minimalist branding (which I really like) to the structure of the bar itself, to their seemingly blatant disregard for the amount of protein and calories it contains. The best way to describe this is like a Kinder Bueno, it has a chocolate outer coating, light wafer and a creamy peanut butter filling.

The bar is really light but my favourite thing about it is that it isn’t too sweet (not this flavour anyway), the peanut butter inside is quite salty and doesn’t taste like it has a ton of artificial ingredients. Sadly, like many of the other ‘luxury’ bars on this list, this just doesn’t stack up in terms of calories and protein. 250+ calories is just too high for something you might eat on a regular basis.

Still, this is a unique bar with a special taste and texture that you have to experience.

WARRIOR DIET BAR

Flavour Reviewed: White Chocolate and Strawberry

Calories: 184

Warrior does a nice range of different bars, from the tasty, high-ish calorie crunch bars, to the RAW flapjacks and these Diet bars.

The point of these Diet bars is to be lower in calories than the other types, and they definitely are at 184 calories – lower than the Crunch bars which pack almost 240 calories. They still have a very respectable amount of protein however at 20g, so in terms of protein-to-calorie ratio, this is one of the best on the market.

Predictably, however, the taste doesn’t quite match up; the white chocolate coating is nice but the inside is just a bit too sticky and overly sweet – there’s no variation in texture here like you have with other bars.

These are great however if you’re dieting and looking for every opportunity to get calories down.

TREK PROTEIN BAR

Flavour Reviewed: Peanut Butter Crunch

Calories : 210

Cost : £1.19

While this most not be considered as a traditional protein bar, at 15g it does have more protein than some of the other bars on this list. Unfortunately, 15g is still pretty low, especially when this bar has over 210 calories and isn’t anything special taste-wise.

I picked the Peanut Butter Crunch because, well, I like peanut butter but for me, this tasted nothing like peanut butter. The taste wasn’t offensive, if anything it was more chocolatey but too weak for me.

This isn’t a terrible bar by any means, it just doesn’t really have anything going for it.

Flavour reviewed: Caramel Almond Sea Salt

Protein: 5g

Calories: 158

This is definitely isn’t a protein bar, and to be fair, it doesn’t claim to be. it probably should even be in this list, but it was on the shelf with all the other protein bars so what the hell.

In all seriousness, it’s important to call out stuff like this because for the uninitiated, this could easily be mistaken for a protein bar, and this teaches us an important lesson; ALWAYS check the for the amount of protein that the bar has (if protein is what you want). You can be pretty sure that if it isn’t clearly displayed in big letters on the front of the package, it’s going to be low (under 20g).

Anyway, onto the bar itself, it tasted fine if you like Almonds, but it’s SO hard it nearly broke my teeth, and my teeth and jaw were actually hurting for a while after this. Do I need to go on? This just isn’t worth the effort.

EAT NATURAL CRUNCHY NUT BAR

Flavour reviewed: Peanuts and Chocolate

Protein: 229

Calories: 10g

Another bar that’s not strictly a ‘protein’ bar, but again sits alongside its protein-packed counterparts on the shelf.

This is actually really good from a taste point of view, with a great level of crunchy-ness and a chocolate taste that’s not overwhelming while providing just enough sweetness. The tatse is the only good thing about this bar, however. 229 calorie sonly delivers 10g of protein which just isn’t enough if you’re looking for a protein hit.

A nice ‘healthy’ energy bar but the numbers don’t stack up.

THE BEST PROTEIN FLAPJACKS

Flapjack protein bars are generally made with oats and are chewier than regular protein bars. They often contain more or similar calories and less protein.

BOUNTY PROTEIN FLAPJACK

Flavour Reviewed: N/A

Protein : 16g

Calories : 218

Cost : £2.00

A lot of people don’t like flapjacks, and a lot of people don’t like coconut, (what is wrong with you people!?) so I can understand why this bar might not appeal to the masses. All I can do is give you my opinion though, and I loved this bar. The chocolate on the outside is really generous and inside it’s a kind of oaty/coconut-y mash-up that isn’t too dense, but is also moist enough.

Unexpectedly, this is actually one of my favourite bars on the list, and I think I prefer it to the regular Bounty Protein bar. The major downside to this bar is that it only packs 16g of protein, putting it at the lower end of the scale vs everything else on the list. The calories aren’t exactly low either. So, for most people, I’d say avoid this bar, but for me, the taste still makes it worth buying from time to time. An unsung hero in my eyes

GRENADE RELOAD BAR

Flavour Reviewed: Blueberry Muffin

Protein : 17g

Calories : 238

Grenade is of course famous for its Carb Killa bars, but the Reload Protein Flapjacks aren’t anywhere near as well-known or widely available. These bars are marketed as more of an ‘energy boost’ bar rather than something that’s going to help you drop weight or build muscle, which is fair enough because they do definitely contain more carbs than a Carb Killa.

The bars taste really good, again if you like flapjacks this will probably be up your street, with a hint of sweet blueberry running through and a layer of chocolate on top. In all honesty, the calories and protein aren’t THAT far off some of the higher-calorie Carb Killas but definitely still enough for me to opt for a Carb Killa over this. Don’t get wrong, a Reload bar would make a great pre-workout snack if you need some quick energy, but the protein is a little too low and the calories a little too high for me to buy these regularly.

MOUNTAIN JOES PROTEIN FLAPJACK

Flavour reviewed: Cookie Dough Latte

Protein : 12g

Calories : 264

Earlier on I reviewed Mountain Joes Protein Granola bar. I didn’t rate it very highly and unfortunately the same goes for their Flapjack bar. Looking at the calories and protein, I really don’t consider this bar a viable option, and with only 12g of protein, it can barely claim to be a ‘protein’ bar.

I might be able to forgive it if it was absolutely delicious, but it’s just ok. The taste is good but the bar is super dry and there’s not much of it considering it’s the wrong side of 200 calories. Avoid

SNICKERS PROTEIN FLAPJACK

Calories: 248

Cost: £2.00

The standard Snickers protein bar was my absolute favourite on this entire list, so you’d expect the flapjack version to be amazing as well right? Well, not so much. The thing that makes the Snickers bar so good was it’s gooey filling and this just doesn’t have that. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t expect a protein flapjack to have that sort of texture, and it’s good for a flapjack, but it just lacks that classic Snickers vibe.

Considering its a flapjack, the protein content isn’t too bad but the calories are high. The Bounty protein flapjack has the same amount of protein but 30 fewer calories than this. Don’t get me wrong, this is still a good bar, it just can’t match its non-flapjack cousin.

SCI MX PROTEIN FLAPJACK

Flavour reviewed: Chocolate and Hazelnut

Protein : 21g

Calories: 254

Cost: £1.70

Sci Mx is one of the OG brands in the UK, these have been around for a while and there really aren’t and bells and whistles to this Flapjack. It’s a good old-fashioned stodgy chocolate flavoured solid block of a bar. The taste is pretty average and there’s nothing interesting about the texture given that it has very variation.

Where this bar really wins is the protein content, this has a respectable 21g for a not-terrible 251 calories. Nutrition-wise, this is definitely the best flapjack on the list, and one of the best bars overall in terms of protein content. This is a really solid option that will fill you up and give you an energy boost preworkout.

I’m a big fan of this because it’s no-nonsense, but don’t expect anything groundbreaking.

ALDI HIGH PROTEIN BAR

Cost: £1.29

The best thing about Aldi is that regardless of the low prices, the quality and taste of the products is still really good, and the same can be said about their Harvest Morn High Protein Bars. At £1.29 these are literally the cheapest bars on this list, and there’s no compromise on protein content; the Cookie Dough flavour bars have 21g of protein, while other flavours have even more.

At 219 calories, these on-par with most of the other bars on this list. Structure-wise, they’re a similar size and composition to Carb Killas, with a layer of cakey/dough stuff filled with chocolate chips and a layer of caramel all covered in chocolate. The big difference with these bars is that they’re REALLY chewy, excessively so in fact. I personally quite like that because it means the bars take longer to eat, but if you have dentures, you might want to avoid these! Are Aldi Protein bars good for you? Well with 21g of protein, 1.9g of sugar and 7g of fibre, these bars certainly stack up really well against other more expensive ones on the market, but they should be treated as a substitute for, rather than a replacement for real foods protein sources.

SAINSBURYS PRO FIT

Flavour reviewed: Vanilla Caramel Crunch

Protein: 18g

Calories: 217

Cost: £1.62

Yes, Sainsbury’s now stock their own-brand protein bars. I have to say I was not expecting much from this, but it’s actually up there with the better bars on this list from a taste perspective. The chocolate coating is generous and the caramel component is really smooth and creamy with no synthetic taste. At £1.62 these are an incredible value and put some of the more expensive bars to shame, given that they’re almost half the price. A great find; if you’re on a budget, stock up on these!

LIDL PROTEIN BAR

Flavour Reviewed: Cookies and Cream

Protein: 22g

Calories: 187

Cost: £1.60

Lidl is known as one of the cheapest supermarkets in the UK (along with Aldi), and you love protein bars, AND you’re a bargain hunter, that’s great news. Why? These bars are one of the very cheapest available in the UK. You’d think that for that price, they’d be sub-par quality, but their imaginatively-named ‘Protein Bar’ is both high in protein AND low in calories. Now I’ll be honest with you, the taste and texture aren’t amazing, this reminds of the old skool protein bars of the mid-2000s that were so chewy you had to book an hour out in your calendar just to eat one.

This isn’t quite that bad but it’s definitely dense. The taste isn’t a stand-out feature, but at the same time, it’s not awful. The only downside to these bars is that you can only buy them in packs of 3, but that’s no big deal because it means you get an even more competitive price per-bar. In terms of grams of protein per pound (of cost), these are unbeatable!

PROTEIN BAR FAQ

Can you make your own protein bars .

Yes. It’s actually pretty easy, the ingredients you need are;

• Protein Powder
• Any oither ingredients of your choice

The vita Fibre should be poured into a bowl and warmed up in the microwave so it can be mixed. Then add one scoop of protein powder to the Vita Fibre and mix so the blend is smooth and consistent. Then transfer the mix onto some cling film, with this you can mould it into your desired shape (it doesn’t have to be a bar) and add in any extra ingredients or topping you want.

Making your own bars this way costs around 90p per bar, roughly a third of the cost of most pre-made bars.

Country bad boy morgan wallen has a phd in partying, nashville sources say: ‘nobody can stop him’.

Morgan Wallen may not have gone to college, but the controversial country music superstar has a PhD in partying.

Sources told The Post that when the 30-year-old isn’t on tour, you can find him living it up at Nashville’s notorious neon-lit Lower Broadway bars where scantily-clad bartenders and honky-tonk cover bands are the norm.

“He seems to love getting in trouble on Broadway,” Jason Steen — who runs ScoopNashville.com , a site chronicling Music City arrests, including Wallen’s — told The Post. “That has just been his thing.

“He’s like a college guy. It’s nothing to see Wallen leaving the bars with folks and ending up at the Waffle House at 3 a.m.”

Wallen acts like, Steen said, “he’s the king of Broadway and nobody can stop him.”

But police put an end to Wallen’s fun this past Monday night, after the singer allegedly threw a chair from the sixth-story rooftop of Chief’s, a new bar and restaurant opened by fellow country star Eric Church.

He was reportedly laughing when he tossed the chair onto Broadway, where it landed three feet away from Nashville police officers.

The singer was arrested and booked into jail, charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. He posed for a mugshot with a big smile on his face.

It wasn’t his first time acting out on the boozy strip. In 2020, Wallen was busted on charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct after getting booted out of Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll steakhouse. According to the Tennessean, he was 86ed for “kicking glass items” and cops deemed the singer a “ danger to himself and the public.”

Wallen later wrote off the behavior as “horse playing”; according to USA Today, the charges were likely expunged .

Nashville’s Lower Broadway has, in recent years, become a tourist destination for bachelorette parties and “what happens in Nash Vegas stays in Nash Vegas” types looking to get wild at bars affiliated with country stars: Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row, Blake Shelton’s Ole Red, Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Rooftop Bar and Miranda Lambert’s Casa Rosa.

The area attracts some 230,000 visitors each weekend but, Steen said, “Most country stars wouldn’t be caught dead on Broadway except for their contracts [requiring them to spend a certain amount of time at bars they are affiliated with].” He said of Wallen, “I can’t think of a bar that he hasn’t been spotted at down there.”

In fact, Wallen is soon to open his own This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen on Lower Broadway with TC Restaurant Group, which also partnered with country acts including Florida Georgia Line (FGL House) and Luke Bryan (Luke’s 32 Bridge Food and Drink).

Named for Wallen’s song “This Bar” and adjacent to the legendary Ryman Auditorium, the 30,000-square-foot spot is slated to be six stories tall, with three live performing stages and a gift shop.

As Wallen posted on his website , “I sing about finding myself in ‘this bar’ and now it’s coming to life.”

It remains to be seen whether the singer’s latest arrest might get in the way.

“If Morgan is planning to be an owner, they might want to apply soon because having a felony conviction, which he does not currently have, could disqualify him from getting a liquor license,” Rob Pinson, partner and alcohol licensing specialist at Adams and Reese, a law firm in Nashville, told The Post. “But a lot of these celebrity-branded honky tonk deals are royalty based, and he could get royalties rather than being an owner. Deals like that receive less scrutiny than straight ownership and it likely won’t be an issue for him.”

His spokesperson told The Post that This Bar will open this summer. A representative for TC Restaurant Group did not return calls.

In February 2021, Wallen was admittedly inebriated when he was caught on video shouting the n-word . It went viral and Wallen went to rehab and later donated at least $300,000 to the Black Music Action Coalition.

After describing himself as being on “hour 72 of a 72-hour bender” when the video was shot, he told Michael Strahan in a “Good Morning America” interview that “for 30 days, I spent some time out in San Diego.” He added that he asked himself, “ Do I have an alcohol problem ?”

In October 2020, Wallen was bounced from a “Saturday Night Live” appearance for violating covid protocols, when social-media footage showed the singer kissing girls and partying in the days before his scheduled performance.

Wallen’s reportedly something of a playboy. In February 2022, Page Six reported that model Paige Lorenze split from the singer after “getting all these messages on Instagram from girls saying, ‘I was with him. We slept together,’” according to a source, who also noted that Lorenze “suspected [Wallen] was cheating on her with multiple people.”

He started dating social media influencer KT Smith in 2016, before finding fame, and the two got engaged and had a son — Indie, now 3 — together before splitting up three years later.

“Being thrown into the spotlight at such a young age is obviously going to come with some bad decisions,” Smith told People of Wallen. “He wasn’t the most faithful.”

Following Monday’s chair-throwing incident, a source told the Daily Mail it might have been inspired by the news that Smith recently got married to someone else. “KT’s marriage .. just crushed him,” a source told the outlet. “Whatever happened in the bar had to be reality hitting him in the face over losing the love of his life.”

However, Smith denied this .

“Although it may seem like it correlates because of the timeline, I have no evidence to believe the incident had anything to do with the recent marriage announcement,” she told the Daily Beast .

Despite the whirlwind of trouble and rumors around him, Wallen — a preacher’s son who grew up singing in a Baptist church in small-town Sneedville, Tennessee — seems to have a Teflon coating.

After losing “The Voice” in 2014, he scored a recording contract with Big Loud Records in 2016. Transcending the country genre, Wallen’s 2018 debut album, “If I Know Me,” made the top ten on the Billboard 200, making it a crossover hit, while his next two albums — “Dangerous: The Double Album” (2021) and “One Thing a Time” (2023) — both debuted at No. 1.

Following his use of a racial epithet, Wallen’s “Dangerous” was disqualified from several awards shows. But on Tuesday, hours after the incident at Chiefs , it was announced that he had received six nominations for the upcoming Academy of Country Music Awards.

“Morgan Wallen has built a solid fan base … I’d normally say he’d bounce back from this incident pretty easily,” Diana D’Angelo, owner of the PR firm Breaking Creatives , who has worked with Dolly Parton, told The Post. “But this isn’t the first time he’s gotten in trouble. If he wants to be a legacy artist, I’d say he really needs to get help.”

Costco reportedly selling more than $100m worth of gold each month, costco buy your precious metals in bulk ... millions in gold monthly.

Families looking to buy huge packs of toilet paper and dirt cheap hot dogs at Costco can now make out like old-timey prospectors, 'cause the retailer's got gold to spare, which is flying off their digital shelves ... to the tune of potentially hundreds of millions.

The store known for selling everything in bulk is in the precious metals game these days ... selling 1-oz, 24-karat gold bars in their stores for around $2,400 a pop. This has been going on for about 6 months or so now, and at this point ... it's apparently a money-maker.

Analysts at Wells Fargo reportedly told its clients earlier this week that Costco might be bringing in between $100 million and $200 million on gold sales each month. Wowza!

Now for those folks thinkin' about buyin' up all Costco's gold supply, take a breath ... 'cause the warehouse giant's got rules about purchasing the gold.

It's limiting customers to just 5 gold bars per membership. Of course, these things go like hotcakes ... and get snatched up on their website within hours anytime they restock.

Funny enough, CNBC 's also reporting the company's not turning a huge profit on the gold ... with cash-back offers and shipping costs mercilessly cutting into the bottom line. In other words, the great deals Costco offers make the gold bars a steal ... if you can get' em, that is.

That said, the company's bought up a Fort Knox-level of gold regardless ... and, could be saving it for a rainy day. Some economists are suggesting them selling gold is a smart biz move -- as more investors seem to be pivoting back toward assets like gold, etc.

So, get your gold while you can ... and grab some massive cans of tuna while you're at it.
