Looks like a good breakdown with a decent protein serving. 25g is good for a shake let alone a protein bar. The carbs and fat content is kept in check which makes this a good choice for any time of year or day.

Taste
I had the chocolate cream and it tastes absolutely fine but it does have a slightly strange smell, nothing off putting but not something you’d expect.

Side Effects
None

Price
£37.99 for 24 bars.

Results
Oh I do love a good protein bar. You get a good protein hit with 25g and you still have manageable carbs and fat so it can be slotted into most diets to either stave off cravings or hit you hit macros. All protein bars have 2 functions 1) help you get protein and 2) help you keep away from unhealthy treats. This bar delivers on both fronts.

The bar tastes great and is sweet enough to help you curb the sugar cravings and works excellently as a treat, whilst I had these I never even thought about reaching for a Snickers. It is fairly filling as well and kept me satisfied between meals.

There really is only one negative and that’s the price. I think these are probably slightly overpriced, I think £1.57(ish) is slightly too much for a protein bar. They are normally round about the £1 mark.They are slightly expensive but Multipower still have a very good product. 8/10
