Review: Oko, chocolate crunch cricket protein bar

October 1, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Packing 30g of protein and only 1g of sugar, the Oko Chocolate Crunch bar offers solid chew and rich cocoa flavour. It blends cricket powder with whey for a practical, low-waste workout snack with zero gimmick factor.

Review: Creatime creatine & protein bar

September 28, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Combining 15.6g of protein, 3g of creatine monohydrate, and collagen into a 141-calorie profile makes Creatime an exceptionally lean recovery option. The bite is light and soft, avoiding the dense chew and artificial aftertaste common to high-protein snacks. Direct orders require multi-pack commitments and site navigation can be clumsy, but the £2.40 per-bar economics beat forecourt retail pricing comfortably.

Review: Co-op Protein Cookie Dough Bar

July 30, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

At under £2, Co-op’s Cookie Dough Bar provides 21g of protein and 182 kcal, matching top sports nutrition brands at a fraction of the cost. A satisfying texture and high protein ratio make it an easy recommendation for quick daily fuel.

Review: Yubi’s Dark Choc Matcha protein bar

February 15, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Looking for a macro-friendly treat? Yubi’s Matcha Dark Chocolate protein bar offers genuine Japanese matcha and 10g of protein for under 100 calories. It’s moreish, sophisticated, and a must-try for plant-based snackers across the UK.

Review: Vieve Protein Bar (Strawberry Blondie)

January 18, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I wanted to love the Vieve Strawberry Blondie. The stats are solid: 157 cals and high fibre. The taste is natural strawberry. But the “armour-plated” coating and dry centre make it a chore to eat. A functional snack, not a pleasure.

Review: Grenade’s Cadbury Creme Egg Protein Bar

December 10, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Grenade Cadbury Creme Egg bar trades macros for branding. With just 13g of protein and a smaller bar size, it feels like a downgrade from the usual. It tastes okay, but it’s not a serious fitness snack.

Review: Nutricircle, discounted protein deals

August 25, 2024 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Nutricircle provides delicious and convenient protein snacks at affordable prices, making it an excellent option for budget-conscious individuals seeking tasty macros.

Review: Mountain Joe’s protein bar, rice cake – okay, I’ve tried it all – range

January 2, 2024 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Mountain Joe’s is an excellent protein snack brand with an impressively broad range and value for money. Protein bars, flapjacks, brownies, cakes and rice cakes can be bought one at a time or by the box. Each one is a hit.
