Protein Bar Buying Guide

Here are some things to look for when deciding which protein bars to buy.

Ingredients

Look for protein bars that contain natural, recognisable ingredients. Many protein bars on the market contain synthetic fibres and sugar alcohols, which can upset your stomach. It’s best to choose protein bars that are high in protein and low in carbs and refined sugars.

Brand reputation

You should always look for a reputable brand that provides safe, high-quality products.

Price

For a trusted, high-quality protein bar, you can expect to pay between $4-$10. While there are cheaper protein bars on the market, your health and performance may end up paying the price. It’s worth investing in a high-quality, trusted product for optimal results. You know what they say — you get what you pay for.

Taste

While it may not be the most important factor, you should like the taste of a product, especially if you’re having it regularly. At BSc, we offer a wide selection of irresistible flavours, including Cookies and Cream, Toffee Apple, Choc Coconut, Peanut Butter Chocolate, and more.

Additional benefits

Some protein bars may contain ingredients that offer additional benefits, such as supporting muscle growth during exercise, supporting mental performance and reducing fatigue, enhancing calorie burning and thermogenesis, and aiding healthy digestion. You should consider what benefits you’re looking for and choose a product that best suits your needs.

Packaging

Look for packaging that’s easy to use, store, and recycle. Our protein bars come in convenient foldable boxes and recyclable wrappers. Not only will your products stay fresh, but their packaging will also prove easy to store, recycle, and reuse.
