A bar with like 15g of fat, 15g of carbs and 8g of protein doesn't deserve to be called a "protein bar" in my opinion, it's an energy bar/candy bar. It should have ~20g protein and low calories in my opinion, otherwise there's not much point.
I tried the quest protein peanut butter cups at random one day, now they are all I eat for snacks and dessert. They absolutely nailed it on the flavor, even though sometimes they make my teeth hurt a bit. I even got all my friends hooked on them too
I tried their s’mores flavor for the first time a few days ago. I’m obsessed, it’s got that nice crunch of a graham, chocolate for the cravings and chewiness to keep myself distracted, makes me thoroughly chew and enjoy it. and only 150 cals for a nice sized bar.
I’ll be honest and this will sound crazy but I prefer them to regular PB cups. As much as I love a Reese’s treat the taste is always too strong. The quest cups have a similar taste but not as overpowering so they’re easier to take down.
For skullcrushers, I love John Meadow’s DB shoulder taps on an incline bench. It’s really a comfortable range of motion for me and boy does it burn so good. Miss you, Mountain Dog!
I’d say the most important thing I look for in a protein bar, is the macros high protein lower calories , then taste and texture. I love the Quest peanut butter cups, but don’t eat it so often because of the amount of fat in it. I have been trying a new bar called Think chocolate brownie it’s my new favorite at the moment lol
@@Cucababy5 it really taste good and isn’t to hard and chewy just a little bit. I decided to stick to just whey protein isolate because It has around the same amount of protein with less calories.
@@ryanshivram9496 sometimes the goal isn't less calories though D: I work as a server and sometimes I don't eat for like 6 or 7 hours so it's an easy and fast way to get calories and protein in :)
The most important thing in a protein bar for me is definitely the grams of protein. Needs to be very high in protein but not outrageous calories. If it’s tasty then that’s a good bonus
Price, its why I buy the costco ones.. protein bars are more about the 'emergency' need for food to not binge or similar. The taste will be made up by hunger.
This is me with cottage cheese :'') hunger makes it delicious whilst the price per protein is great. Protein bars are so rare here, not counting carb or fat bars named protein bars.
Watching this while I eat Coach Greg’s Anabolic French toast. Still amazes me that I’m struggling to finish 4 pieces (400 cal) of this 😂 people like you and Greg are my heroes.
well not necessarily children are smaller and have a smaller stomach size than adults therefore children can eat less food and if you search up calorie calculators it shows that children need less calories in reality it depends on the person, for example i can eat more because i used to be obese and my stomach is more stretched out
I know some teams that eat 1 or 2 sandwiches per day and arnt even that skinny. The reason that teens often have a faster metabolism is because they are just more active than adults
@@tankcb Barebells are great, they’re sold in the US at Trader Joe’s (or they can be ordered online). Barebells taste the most like a real candy bar to me
My bar of choice is the Quest Chocolate Brownie. Its flavor reminds me of Little Debbie Fudge Brownies. My wife's choice is the NuGo Slim Peanut Butter bar. She's sensitive to sugar alcohols, so NuGo fits the bill and tastes great, too. I've tried the No Cow bar in a pinch, but it just tastes like sugar alcohol.
Quest claims to have recently changed the recipe for their protein bars on the boxes they come in, and I genuinely believe that they’re good now. I used to absolutely loathe them, but I swear the cookies & cream and cookie dough flavors have been hitting different recently…
Will I’m surprised you’re venturing back into the world of Protein Bars after the challenge not so long ago 😂 Out of all of them I’d go for the grenade protein bars
The first time I tried a Built Bar I took one bite and *hated it.* I didn’t even think it was worth the calories to finish the mini. Then a month later I tried again and thought it was maybe good enough to take a couple more bites. Now I can’t control myself. I eat 1-2 nearly every day and still want more 🤭 I find them absolutely irresistible & idk how this happened considering I agreed with Will at the onset 😂
@@EnhancedChimp yeahh same i used to hate chikki it's an Indian dessert but healthy but know I justttt love it I want to eat them infinite lol but I only eat two for portion control 😂
If you don’t mind fitting a higher calorie bar into your daily eating, try Perfect Bar. They are in the refrigerated section in some grocery stores, delicious 😋
Love your videos, very entertaining, educational AND you have an awesome sense of humor. Keep it up ! I am not sponsored but i can tell you Built Bar are actually the BEST bars on the market. GREAT for cutting 130 cal/17g of protein (they helped me a lot to achieve my goals), you just have to find the right taste for you. They have like 20, i personally loved Salted Caramel (i like saltiness in my mouth), Mint Brownie and Chocolate Orange. The flavours are delicious, you just have to find the right one. Cheers
seems like generally the best tasting ones had the worst calories to protein ratio. gotta sacrifice some flavor in order to get that preferred ratio (at least 1g protein per each 10 calories).
One of the best protein bars I've had was one I tried recently from ALDI called Elevation Functional Protein Bar. It's 25g protein & 250 calories and tastes like a chocolate peanut butter granola bar. They're great in my last hour of work before I hit the gym.
I prefer their mint chocolate bar and it is by far my favorite protein bar. Since they tend to go out of stock in my area, I tried to find the name brand version so I could order online but none of the similar looking bars from name brands taste tolerable to me. Something about the Aldi ones are so good! Some weeks it’s the only reason I’m at Aldi rather than another grocery
The only bar you tried that I actually have tried is the Built Bar. I love them and I've ordered them again and again! I love many of the flavors. They are like yummy candy bars. Lol Now I wonder just how good your faves are.
@@jamiemaxcold9325 maybe it was the flavor of the chocolate chip cookie dough ones. They are my favorite. I like carrot cake, cherry barcia, birthday cake, salted caramel, for example.
Combat protein bars are the absolute top level bar. Pretty much just eating a chocolate bar. Heat them up in a microwave for 15-20 seconds and it becomes a great dessert style treat also.
I havent tried too many brands but my favorite so far has been the met rx ones. Some may not like them because they are high in calories and sugar. They’re pretty good with protein though. They range from 30- 32 g of protein and around 400 calories for most. Theyre also fairly high in sugar (in the 20s grams). But I dont mind. I don’t have many other direct sugars in my diet besides soda a few times a month and small things like bread or peanut butter. I also use the bars as a meal replacement typically in the morning or a midday snack. I dont have a huge appetite so they fill my hunger and give me some much-needed protein and they taste really good. Theyre fortified with good micronutrients too which doesnt hurt
The Quest Peanut Butter Cups are amazing - but check the sugar replacement in the ingredients and make sure you're not sensitive.. It can cause very bad GI distress.
How can you make anything so funny and entertaining? You are my favorite youtuber ♡ I'd rather have an okay bar with more protein and fewer calories than a great-tasting bar with more calories and less protein.
My favorite is the Kirkland, the macros are great and they’re priced really well, the flavor is very average, so overall compared to other brands that I thought tasted terrible and were expensive, I think it’s a good choice
kirkland bars are pretty much the best overall for actual nutrition, quality protein, macros and kcals are damn near identical to Quest, and only run $1 per bar Unfuckwithable
Grenade Salted Caramel and Peanut Nutter are my top bars easily. I felt the exactly same way about the Built Bars... No idea what they were trying to acheive there 🤣. Going to have to try the Fit Snacks and Quest Cups sometime 👌
After a month of protein bar diet due to busy work… here’s my rank: 1. Pure Protein Bar (the least chalky feel, delicious flavours, literally tastes like chocolate bars) 2. ONE Bar (good flavours, but some are horrible, good macros) 3. Quest (artificial taste!! good macros, but all flavours tastes the same…?) 4. Cliff bar (tastes amazing, but horrible macros such as 300+ kcal for 14g protein… literally opposite of Quest?!) 5. Power Bar (I regret trying this one)
I wish he'd had included a screenshot of the complete Nutritional Info on the screen as well. Fat, Fibre & Protein is things I'd look at for sure which he mentioned. But I'd also want to know the amount of sugar and what type of sugar etc. Some bars with too much sugar make me feel sick especially the artificial kind.
Definitely look at the protein to calorie ratio and then go from there (and cost haha). You should give Quest's Chocolate Sprinkled Donut bar a go sometime! No where near as good as the real thing but so far I've found it's the best Quest flavor (as a fellow donut lover). Just go in with low hopes cuz it'll never live up to Tim Horton's lol
I tried the Alani Nu bars because of this video. The peanut butter flavor was a little too much PB for me, but the confetti cake was amazing and I ordered two boxes, and am eating one almost every day
For me it is taste > price > protein content > ingredients. I treat it as a little bit better version of regular sweets. I'm from Poland and here we have quite an interesting array of bars from random brands. My fave costs ~0.80 $ and it tastes like a merge of Snickers with Mars. It is available in the most common discount store chain here. I personally would not pay more than 2$ for a bar.
For me ingredients/dietary friendly(halal, kosher, vegan, vegetarian)> protein content/fiber> taste and price depends. Once in a while I buy expensive bars at the corner store but cheaper in general and in bulk. Today I tried chocolate clif builder bar and pb clif energy bar(had this before, very good but mid macros) clif builder tho very nice.
I have protein bars at the moment. If I'm really short on protein - Musashi High Protein bars 337 calories, 45.5g protein. If I need to top up fibre and a bit of protein - Quest bars. 200 calories, 21g of protein.
Calories are important to me in a protein bar. I go for the lower calorie bars so I don’t feel bad. Definitely going to try to quest chocolate peanut butter cups!
I used to eat a ton of NoCow bars and I definitely enjoyed them in a weird way. There are, of course, tastier options but the protein to calorie ratio is way better than the rest. It's for protein after all.
I loveeee protein barsssss... Grenade, warrior crunch, Phd, Pro 2 go gooey, battle bites, barebells, the PE nutrition bars, and tribe are all top tier brands for me.
Calories per gram of protein varies quite a bit between the bars. I tried a crapload, going as far as to keep a spreadsheet with all the macros and subjective notes so I wouldn't forget. I ultimately settled on Atlas Bars (based out of New Hampshire). You can build a custom box with a variety of flavors, then have it shipped every month. I've been using them for > 2 yrs now. They just added a line of plant-based options which have even better texture and flavor. They're around 200 cals for 15g of protein which is an ok ratio (would've preferred 20g of protein for that many cals), but I'm living with it. The convenience of having them delivered with so many good flavors made it the choice for me.
Barebells go so hard, especially the Cookies and Cream flavour. I guess they didn't make it to North America, at least by the time Will was making this vid, since I think they are a Swedish company, but I would assume that most European viewers of Will's vouched for Barebells. Their protein shakes I could take or leave, a bit too sweet and artificial, chocolate one is pretty good though. But their bars are goated indeed
Even if most people probably wont know them , i really recommend the protein bars from Atlas. These are all hand made in germany , mostly 60g per bar and around 200kcal. With 15-20g protein, sometimes vegan. The texture is extremely soft, while taste is gorgeous too. Not buying anything else since some time!
_dimitris _gikas personally the protein to calorie ratio for example it doesnt matter if the bar has 30g of protein if it also has 300 cals or even more love the vid btw
Interesting, I eat the Costco protein bar and here in the states, the calories range between 170-190. None of the 4 flavor choices are above 190cals Update: I just checked my Costco Protein Bars and here is the breakdown (again, I’m in the States) Cookies and Cream: 170cals PB&Choco: 180cals Brownie: 190cals Choco Chip: 190cals
Everyone's tastes are different, but I'm extremely surprised you didn't like Built. People who hate protein products have told me those bars are just as good as candy
yes i agree. honestly the cookies and cream is the worst flavor in my opinion. if he would have tried the double chocolate, mint, or cherry he probably would have loved it. they taste exactly like chocolate bars and i could snack on them all day if i wanted to.
It also is a texture issue. A lot of people are sensitive to the sticky/nought style. It's also really chewy? I personally loved the coconut almond bar bc it's the closest thing to an Almond joy chocolate candy in protein form. I recommend that one.
My favorite is peanut butter brownie. Orange is also good if you like orange chocolate. Today I got Rocky road. Very good. The only issue I've had was cookie dough chunk...there were virtually NO chunks. They gave me a refund.
@@nostyle126 I’ve gotten the cookie dough chunk and it’s honestly one of the best flavors (had cookie dough on mine), maybe biggest issue is the weight of the bars are really a hit or miss lol so need to weigh it each time
I just ordered protein bars containing 50g of protein. They do seem huge. But when you mentioned the donut bar having 12g.... I even have water here that has 20g.
@@greenmrkitty1 the double chocolate, mint, and cherry barcia. the cherry barcia tastes like those cherry hershey’s kisses that come out during christmas. i promise they literally taste like chocolate bars. it was almost hard for me to believe that they were protein bars because when i first tried them i was not expecting them to taste like candy.
You should try the No Cow Birthday Cake flavor. It's pretty darn good. I probably wouldn't eat the other bars because the No Cow has 21 grams of protein for 190 calories and the others have the same or more amount of calories but like half the protein. I love that you added in the vegan bars! Really appreciate that! Thx!
The Quest cookie dough bar and cookies and cream bar are both 21g protein for 190 calories. They’ve also got a birthday cake flavor 20g for 170 cals, they’re not bad I like em
Gotta be the calories and protein in the bar for me. I’d rather have a bar that isn’t quite as good but with better macros than something full of sugar. @tyzerp
I'm shocked you didn't get the Glazed Donut One Bar. It's by far their best flavor! Calories and taste are most important to me in a protein bar. My all time favorite is the Built coconut brownie and cookie dough bars (rip), but I settle for coconut and salted caramel until they come back. @handsomeajani
PhD Smart Protein Bar - Birthday Cake is perhaps the only protein bar I've ever tried that genuinely tasted really good. every other one has tasted like a mix of wet paper, chemicals, or sawdust calories - 238 carbs 23g protein 20g not good if on low carbs but i think the macros are reflective of why it tastes so good
Best bar- 1.barbell ( my gf and kids thinks they are candy bars) 2.Alani 3. Mre peanut butter jelly and banana cream pie ( only for bulking) 4. One/ quest ( both are almost the same depends on the flavor)
I personally dislike the artificial taste in a lot of protein bars. I think one that I’ve liked the most out of the ones I’ve had, which I haven’t tried many, is the FitCrunch Choc Peanut butter. I like the crunch, not too artificial and decent amount of protein.
Lol it taste like its good for the environment. Not easy to make vegan protein taste good.
Heyy! When is the v3 of the cookbook coming out?
@@david_gaffer whenever he feels satisfied with the recipes
Yea vegan protein bars r usually gonna have a bunch of other shit chemicals in them to make them taste good, too

Agreed, because if it's over 20 grams of protein and high in calories, at that point it's a meal replacement bar.

You’re right these things are seriously amazing for their macros
quest is so far ahead of the game
They pretty expensive though, which is the only down fall imo
I tried their s’mores flavor for the first time a few days ago. I’m obsessed, it’s got that nice crunch of a graham, chocolate for the cravings and chewiness to keep myself distracted, makes me thoroughly chew and enjoy it. and only 150 cals for a nice sized bar.
I’ll be honest and this will sound crazy but I prefer them to regular PB cups. As much as I love a Reese’s treat the taste is always too strong. The quest cups have a similar taste but not as overpowering so they’re easier to take down.

2. ONE Bar (good flavours, but some are horrible, good macros)
3. Quest (artificial taste!! good macros, but all flavours tastes the same…?)
4. Cliff bar (tastes amazing, but horrible macros such as 300+ kcal for 14g protein… literally opposite of Quest?!)
5. Power Bar (I regret trying this one)
Agree with you on the Pure bars, good taste, decent macros and not crazy expensive.
Calories in the cliff bar...they are best when doing a massive hike and you need the extra energy on the trail. Pure has been my go to...
When I was vegan I actually enjoyed the birthday cake" no cow" bar...outweighs a lot if their other flavors
Those are so good! But to much fiber in it makes me bloated
birthday cake and vanilla caramel are definiteley the best flavors for no cow
I wish he'd had included a screenshot of the complete Nutritional Info on the screen as well. Fat, Fibre & Protein is things I'd look at for sure which he mentioned. But I'd also want to know the amount of sugar and what type of sugar etc. Some bars with too much sugar make me feel sick especially the artificial kind.
Look them up on google?
Quest is sugar free :))
@@kaneywaney5yet has a bunch of things like erithyol natural flavors and Sucralose
He resembled Ollie so much when eating while blindfolded. I miss him.
I really like how much you involve your family in your videos. They bring a playful element into your content that I really like.
Musashi protein crisp is one of my favourites to get. It's super light unlike other protein bars which are really dense, but has a high protein level
@harryradcliffe
I think protein to calorie ratio is most important
My favourite bars are Fulfil bars, might only be in the UK though x
Will's mom likes popcorn, now we know how she and Greg met
Definitely look at the protein to calorie ratio and then go from there (and cost haha). You should give Quest's Chocolate Sprinkled Donut bar a go sometime! No where near as good as the real thing but so far I've found it's the best Quest flavor (as a fellow donut lover). Just go in with low hopes cuz it'll never live up to Tim Horton's lol
You've got to try the Grenade carbkillas. The cookie dough ones.
Robert Irvine Fit Crunch bars Are The best Protein Bars I’ve ever tried🔥
@Jon Facts My Boy Robert Is The King For blessing us With them bars💪
I tried the Alani Nu bars because of this video. The peanut butter flavor was a little too much PB for me, but the confetti cake was amazing and I ordered two boxes, and am eating one almost every day
I just tried a legendary protein toaster pastry last week and it was so good. You definitely should try them if you can find them.
For me it is taste > price > protein content > ingredients. I treat it as a little bit better version of regular sweets. I'm from Poland and here we have quite an interesting array of bars from random brands. My fave costs ~0.80 $ and it tastes like a merge of Snickers with Mars. It is available in the most common discount store chain here. I personally would not pay more than 2$ for a bar.
For me ingredients/dietary friendly(halal, kosher, vegan, vegetarian)> protein content/fiber> taste and price depends. Once in a while I buy expensive bars at the corner store but cheaper in general and in bulk. Today I tried chocolate clif builder bar and pb clif energy bar(had this before, very good but mid macros) clif builder tho very nice.
I have protein bars at the moment.
If I'm really short on protein - Musashi High Protein bars
337 calories, 45.5g protein.
If I need to top up fibre and a bit of protein - Quest bars.
200 calories, 21g of protein.
Calories are important to me in a protein bar. I go for the lower calorie bars so I don’t feel bad. Definitely going to try to quest chocolate peanut butter cups!
I used to eat a ton of NoCow bars and I definitely enjoyed them in a weird way. There are, of course, tastier options but the protein to calorie ratio is way better than the rest. It's for protein after all.
I loveeee protein barsssss... Grenade, warrior crunch, Phd, Pro 2 go gooey, battle bites, barebells, the PE nutrition bars, and tribe are all top tier brands for me.
I love quest s’mores because the texture isn’t disgusting and it’s 21 grams of protein vs some of their 20s with more calories
Exactly how I wanted to start my morning🤟🏼
Calories per gram of protein varies quite a bit between the bars. I tried a crapload, going as far as to keep a spreadsheet with all the macros and subjective notes so I wouldn't forget. I ultimately settled on Atlas Bars (based out of New Hampshire). You can build a custom box with a variety of flavors, then have it shipped every month. I've been using them for > 2 yrs now. They just added a line of plant-based options which have even better texture and flavor. They're around 200 cals for 15g of protein which is an ok ratio (would've preferred 20g of protein for that many cals), but I'm living with it. The convenience of having them delivered with so many good flavors made it the choice for me.
Obsessed with the Barebells bar, tastes like a 100 grand bar.
Barebells go so hard, especially the Cookies and Cream flavour. I guess they didn't make it to North America, at least by the time Will was making this vid, since I think they are a Swedish company, but I would assume that most European viewers of Will's vouched for Barebells. Their protein shakes I could take or leave, a bit too sweet and artificial, chocolate one is pretty good though. But their bars are goated indeed
Even if most people probably wont know them , i really recommend the protein bars from Atlas. These are all hand made in germany , mostly 60g per bar and around 200kcal. With 15-20g protein, sometimes vegan. The texture is extremely soft, while taste is gorgeous too. Not buying anything else since some time!
_dimitris _gikas personally the protein to calorie ratio for example it doesnt matter if the bar has 30g of protein if it also has 300 cals or even more love the vid btw
Interesting, I eat the Costco protein bar and here in the states, the calories range between 170-190. None of the 4 flavor choices are above 190cals
Update:
I just checked my Costco Protein Bars and here is the breakdown (again, I’m in the States)
Cookies and Cream: 170cals
PB&Choco: 180cals
Brownie: 190cals
Choco Chip: 190cals
I’m pretty sure Canada classifies fiber differently
I was thinking the same thing. Had to check mine!
The MRE German Chocolate bar is the best thing ever. I was hoping that was going to get picked. I want one now. Lol.
Quest hero cookies and cream is by far my favorite. Only 150 calories, 18g protein and has that rice crispy texture under some frosting
Everyone's tastes are different, but I'm extremely surprised you didn't like Built. People who hate protein products have told me those bars are just as good as candy
yes i agree. honestly the cookies and cream is the worst flavor in my opinion. if he would have tried the double chocolate, mint, or cherry he probably would have loved it. they taste exactly like chocolate bars and i could snack on them all day if i wanted to.
It also is a texture issue.
A lot of people are sensitive to the sticky/nought style. It's also really chewy? I personally loved the coconut almond bar bc it's the closest thing to an Almond joy chocolate candy in protein form.
I recommend that one.
Same all the brownie flavors are amazing
My favorite is peanut butter brownie. Orange is also good if you like orange chocolate. Today I got Rocky road. Very good. The only issue I've had was cookie dough chunk...there were virtually NO chunks. They gave me a refund.
@@nostyle126 I’ve gotten the cookie dough chunk and it’s honestly one of the best flavors (had cookie dough on mine), maybe biggest issue is the weight of the bars are really a hit or miss lol so need to weigh it each time
The brownies are literally the best, I have like 3 boxes right now
I’m so glad I found this channel. Every video is sooooo freakin good and entertaining.
So I’m assuming you do.
Chest/back.
Delts+arms
Legs
Rest repeat?
I do a 5 day split! I show it in my next video 😊
Man I gotta wonder how much money Will lost in potential sponsorship money over the course of this video LMAO
I respect the honesty ahah
You're my new favorite fitness content creator. You're killing it dude. Respect!!
My personal favorite are the Clif Builder bars.
I just ordered protein bars containing 50g of protein. They do seem huge. But when you mentioned the donut bar having 12g....
I even have water here that has 20g.
The taste, the protein, and calories lastly... Quest rules!
You are one of my favorite influencers on TH-cam man every time you post it’s always awesome man
You must surely try The Whole Truth’s protein bar. It’s so good.
barbell protein bar cookies and cream is so good
One minute in and I see Will is wearing a blindfold. Either he's doing a blind taste test or this video is about to take a hard left turn
Calories to protein ratio is the most key for me. Tasting good is an added bonus
Content rating: Tenny 10/10
That was the most unexpected reaction after the built bar
I don’t think the cookies and cream is the best flavor although I do like it more than Will seemed to, lol!
@@laurenh1928 I want to purchase built bar but after his reaction im not sure. What other flavors have you tried and what did you think?
@@greenmrkitty1 triple chocolate is good, salted caramel too
@@greenmrkitty1 the double chocolate, mint, and cherry barcia. the cherry barcia tastes like those cherry hershey’s kisses that come out during christmas. i promise they literally taste like chocolate bars. it was almost hard for me to believe that they were protein bars because when i first tried them i was not expecting them to taste like candy.
@@kotah88 I agree the mint is good. Even my 2 and 4 year old like the mint ones.
“It tastes like I’m doing something good for the environment”
Bruh, you’re hilarious and I’ve been binging your videos. Awesome content.
One that doesn’t taste like chalk is a god send
I swear by the Peanut Caramel and Hazelnut Whip Fulfil Bars
You should try the No Cow Birthday Cake flavor. It's pretty darn good. I probably wouldn't eat the other bars because the No Cow has 21 grams of protein for 190 calories and the others have the same or more amount of calories but like half the protein. I love that you added in the vegan bars! Really appreciate that! Thx!
For the same macros PLEASE try the chocolate chip peanut butter flavor, that flavor combo + the texture tastes like cookie dough
Should probably try some cow if you're looking for protein and taste
The Quest cookie dough bar and cookies and cream bar are both 21g protein for 190 calories. They’ve also got a birthday cake flavor 20g for 170 cals, they’re not bad I like em
I just started eating protein bars for the first time on my current diet. I quickly settled on Pure protein and One bar as my favorite brands.
Gotta be the calories and protein in the bar for me. I’d rather have a bar that isn’t quite as good but with better macros than something full of sugar.
@tyzerp
I love Built bars! They taste like different flavored Milky Way bars. 130 calories, 17g of protein.
Me too!
I love the built bars. It's like having a chocolate bar but so much better for you
Grenade carb killa salted caramel is probably my favourite protein bar that I've ever tried
I'm shocked you didn't get the Glazed Donut One Bar. It's by far their best flavor! Calories and taste are most important to me in a protein bar. My all time favorite is the Built coconut brownie and cookie dough bars (rip), but I settle for coconut and salted caramel until they come back. @handsomeajani
PhD Smart Protein Bar - Birthday Cake is perhaps the only protein bar I've ever tried that genuinely tasted really good. every other one has tasted like a mix of wet paper, chemicals, or sawdust
calories - 238 carbs 23g protein 20g not good if on low carbs but i think the macros are reflective of why it tastes so good
Best bar-
1.barbell ( my gf and kids thinks they are candy bars)
2.Alani
3. Mre peanut butter jelly and banana cream pie ( only for bulking)
4. One/ quest ( both are almost the same depends on the flavor)
I personally dislike the artificial taste in a lot of protein bars. I think one that I’ve liked the most out of the ones I’ve had, which I haven’t tried many, is the FitCrunch Choc Peanut butter. I like the crunch, not too artificial and decent amount of protein.
FitCrunch is my go to. Way too good
