Either way, anyone looking to up their protein intake is going to benefit from eating protein bars. What Makes A Protein Bar Good? The taste and consistency of these bars really is great and you will not be disappointed in them – just be careful to not get too carried away and eat too many each day! Carb Killa has become one of the most recognisable brands of protein bar in the UK over the last few years. They have the biggest range of flavours and we have tried them all… yes, we really have. It is fair to say that Carb Killas are universally considered to be the best tasting protein bars with a consistency that is enjoyable rather than bearable.

Milk Protein (Calcium Caseinate, Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate), Milk Chocolate With (Sweetener; Maltitol, Cocoa Butter, Whole Milk Powder, Cocoa Mass, Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin), Flavours) 18.3% Gelatine Hydrolysate, Bulking Agent (Polydextrose), Humectant (Glycerol), Soy Crisps (Soy Protein, Tapioca Strarch, Salt) Soy Crisp (Soy Protein, Fat Reduced Cocoa, Tapioca Starch) Cocoa Butter, Soy Oil, Skimmed Milk Powder, Palm Fat, Sweeteners (Xylitol, Sucralose), Flavours, Fat Reduced Cocao, Salt, Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin) PhD Nutrition have a decent range of protein bars and although the jury seems to be out taste wise, there is no disputing their nutritional value is pretty solid. They have an impressive range of flavours with 10 to choose from in total and our favourite being the Caramel Crunch thanks to its crispy base and smooth caramel centre.A protein bar can be a healthier alternative to chocolate bars, offering additional nutrition. When eaten in moderation, they can be a great addition to a healthy, balanced diet and can help you to achieve your fitness goals. When should i eat a protein bar? Whichever variety you choose you can expect each 60g bar to provide you with 20g of protein, 19g of carbs (this is very impressive) and just 5.8g of fat. This makes it one of the most nutritionally beneficial of all the protein bars we tested for anyone who is on a high protein diet and looking to keep fat intake to a minimum.

What makes a good protein bar is usually determined by what goes in to it. Ideally we want to look for wholesome, natural ingredients that are low in sugar content and low in fat. Most of the good tasting bars will have some level of fat, but keeping the saturated fat levels down is important. The Slender Bar (as it is known) is just 184 calories for the choc chip version (our favourite) and for this you get 9.2g of protein, 17.6g of carbs and 10.7g of fat. Although the fat content is a little on the high side for us, the taste makes it worth it and you are still almost matching that fat content with the protein.

How. When. Why.

Protein bars can be a healthier alternative to chocolate bars, offering additional nutrition. When eaten in moderation, they can be a great addition to a healthy, balanced diet and can help you to achieve your fitness goals. Are protein bars good for you? The benefits of protein bars might seem pretty obvious but it is worth stating them all the same. Anyone who is looking to build muscle or maintain muscle is going to have high daily protein targets to hit within their macros. For most people who are looking to build muscle this will mean 1.5-2g of protein per kg of bodyweight. We have tested a lot of vegan protein bars – and unlike vegan protein powder, the protein bars are a lot more hit and miss – with a lot more miss than hit.
