This sits somewhere between a protein bar and a more functional snack.

It’s not a high-carb endurance bar, and it’s not just a straight protein hit either. You’ve got a mix of protein, fats and carbs, which gives it a bit more balance.

 

Who it’s for:

 

Gym users needing a convenient recovery option.

People who struggle to eat post-training.

Anyone wanting a higher protein snack on the go.

Those needing something more filling than a shake.

 

What it does:

 

Provides protein to support recovery.

Gives a steady release of energy.

Helps bridge the gap between meals.

Offers a more balanced option than typical snack bars.

 

How I’d use it:

 

I’d use this mainly post-training or between meals.

It’s a good option when real food isn’t practical, but I wouldn’t rely on it as a primary fuel source for longer endurance work where higher carbohydrate intake is needed.

 

This is a dead handy option for storing in your desk drawer or gym bag, giving you peace of mind knowing you have something you can grab if you’re busy and like to miss a meal.

 

 

The Science:

 

Dietary protein ingestion and muscle protein synthesis after exercise

 

Study: Investigated how protein intake following exercise affects muscle protein synthesis.

 

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2012

 

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22150425/

 

Protein ingestion post-exercise significantly increases muscle protein synthesis, supporting recovery and adaptation. The protein content in this bar sits within an effective range to contribute to that process.

 

 

Effects of polydextrose on different levels of energy intake. A systematic review and meta-analysis

 

Study: A systematic review and meta-analysis examining whether polydextrose affects subsequent energy intake across human trials.

 

Appetite, 2015

 

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25510531/

 

The studies included in the analysis supported the idea that polydextrose can reduce voluntary energy intake at a subsequent meal, which gives some support to its inclusion in a bar designed to be more filling and satisfying than a standard snack.
