Product Information

I’d have loved there to be an actual caramel layer in this bar, not just for the texture, but for the actual caramel flavor as well. The major difference between these bars and Barebells protein bars is that when it comes to Barebells, I haven’t had a flavor I do not like. With Fulfil bars, I loved 3 of the flavors, but the other 2 would not be bars I’d be running out to buy.

Fulfil bars remind me a ton of Barebells protein bars, so if you like those bars (Trader Joe’s also carries them), then you’ll likely enjoy Fulfil bars too. The exterior of this bar is loaded up with crispy puffed rice, leading me to believe that this bar is going to have an amazing Crunch Bar-like texture. During exercise, there is an increase in the breakdown of protein in the muscle, and so it's important to include enough protein foods in your diet to counteract a negative protein balance. The interior is soft and fluffy, and the crispies on the outside add a great crunch to the bar, making this eat very much like a candy bar.Protein bars are also a handy on-the-go option, especially when it’s not possible to eat a protein-rich meal. Just remember that no supplement can replace a healthy diet. How we test The “nougat” layer very much resembles that of a very standard protein bar, but the layers that sit on top of it transform this protein bar into something insanely good. Protein bars were judged on their taste, texture, aroma, nutritional value, ease of use and, most importantly, their impact on running performance.

Look for a bar made with simple, nutrient-dense ingredients that you can recognise,' says Kendter. 'Steer clear of those with lots of artificial sweeteners and preservatives, as these could aggravate the gut.' Should I eat a protein bar before or after a run? As you can see in the photo, there is a slight caramel layer, but I can’t really call that caramel. There’s a saltiness to the bar that also compliments it perfectly because chocolate and salt go hand-in-hand. In the first 30 to 60 minutes after intense exercise, the body is primed to use protein and carbs for muscle recovery and rebuilding,' says Kendter.The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that the average adult consumes at least 0.8g of protein per kg of bodyweight per day. The good news is that, as protein supplements continue to balloon in popularity, there are a plethora of bars, brownies and biscuits to help you get your fix. The best bit? Unlike the first ones to hit the shelves, many of them genuinely taste great, too.
