Barebells Protein Bar review

Barebells is the pick for people who quit protein bars because of the taste. The Cookies & Caramel bar layers caramel, a cookie and chocolate-flavored center, crisp toppers and a milk chocolate coating, and still lists 20 grams of protein, 1 gram of total sugars and 0 grams of added sugars in a 55 gram bar. That comes at 210 calories, 7 grams of fat and 6 grams of sugar alcohol, so it is a fuller snack than David or Quest. The protein is a milk blend of calcium caseinate, whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate, with bovine collagen hydrolysate and soy protein isolate further down the list. A 12-pack costs $30.99 on the US store, about $2.58 a bar, and subscriptions take 10% off. The range is wide: original, soft, vegan and high protein bars plus seasonal flavors such as Peppermint Bark. Orders ship with temperature control, free over $50 and $7.99 below that.
