I would like to know what that 12.2g of protein is made up from eg whats is from the peanuts, pea protein, rice protein etc. 12.2g of Protein is also on the low side when compared to other protein bars.

It’s a good healthy line up though.

Side Effects

None

Taste

Pretty damn amazing actually, it was smooth and nutty. It didn’t have a powdery aftertaste which some protein bars do and they didn’t melt in my gym bag. I had these at breakfast, pre and post workout and before bed. I tried these at all times of the day and they always tasted great, they weren’t too sweet or too heavy. I’ve tried different bars from Pulsin and these were my favourite.

Price

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

Results

I think to compare these to other protein bars on the market would be doing them a disservice because they are more geared to a healthy snack that a muscle building bar. No you aren’t getting 50g of Protein per bar and they don’t have Creatine in but you are getting natural ingredients and a great tasting snack.

I really liked these bars and I would recommend you try them not as a replacement for a protein shake but as a treat with a cup of coffee to help keep you away from the Mars bars. 7/10
