Pulsin Vanilla Choc Chip Bar

Overview 
Vanilla Choc Chip 50g Bar - 18 case
Here is what Pulsin have to say about it:

A delicious, protein-packed alternative to a chocolate bar

Enriched with raw rice protein, Pulsin's Vanilla Chocolate Chip Protein Snack is designed to give you sustained energy release without the crash. Containing a generous smattering of chocolate chips as well as a healthy handful of almonds, our bars are free from nasties, contain no added sugars and are low in GI/GL.

Protein is needed to build muscle, stay healthy, repair cells and fight off infection, making these bars ideal for those recovering from illness, athletes in training, those looking to lose weight, or anyone who needs an energy lift during the day.

Taste
This tastes really, really nice. With these around you have no need for chocolate bars to be in the house. It’s quite soft when you bite into it but it was never melted or crushed, even after being in a locker all day.

Price
£25.76 for a box of 18. So they are similar to most protein bars on the market.

Results
This isn’t supposed to be used a protein bar but rather a healthier alternative to a chocolate bar. It’s a little energy boost when you’re too busy to have a proper meal, it’s a nice treat when you’re watching TV in the evening.

I think they would be great to have in the house for when the cravings kick in. When you have no alternative but to cheat you reach for one of these and snack away relatively guilt free. I know I’m keeping a few to hand. 8/10
