20g protein per serve · 152 cal · 2.1g sugar · 46mg sodium · 60g serve.
Overview
This bar sits at the cleaner, more functional end of the protein snack aisle, a spot usually reserved for products with far less protein. With an ingredient list less than half the length of the typical bar we see, and sugar levels around a third of the category average, it makes a strong case for simplicity. The protein comes from a blend of whey and milk isolates, with corn fibre doing the heavy lifting on texture and satiety. Compared with the brand's Apple Crumble version, this Apricot Almond bar matches it on protein density but has a fraction more sugar. It's a consistent pattern we see across the Fibre Boost range: high protein, minimal sugar, and a short ingredient list powered by whey isolate and prebiotic fibre. This consistency makes it easy to switch between flavours without a significant macro penalty. The cold-pressed format gives it a dense, chewy texture, not a baked cookie or crunchy chip. It's built for function over indulgence, making it a reliable choice when you need a straightforward protein hit without the filler. We'd keep one in the gym bag or desk drawer for a no-fuss afternoon top-up.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
This is the bar you reach for when you want a serious protein hit without the usual baggage of sugar and additives. The 20g of protein per serve is a standout, landing it a 9.8/10 and putting it well ahead of the typical snack in this category. That 20g serve firmly places it in the dedicated protein bar camp, miles ahead of the 2-5g you'd find in a standard muesli bar. The protein-per-calorie metric is also strong, delivering 13.2g for every 100 calories, making it an efficient choice for calorie-aware shoppers who want something substantial to chew. Stack it against other flavours in the Fibre Boost lineup and the numbers hold up, sitting comfortably at the high-protein end of their range. It's a solid option for a post-workout top-up or a substantial snack to bridge a meal gap when whole food isn't an option.
Clean Score: 9.9/10
With an ingredient list less than half the length of the category average, this bar makes a clear statement on simplicity. Just eight ingredients and a single natural sweetener earn it a 9.8/10, signalling a product that prioritises whole-food components over heavy processing. The sweetness comes from steviol glycosides, a natural sweetener, avoiding artificial options like sucralose or aspartame entirely. There are no added colours, preservatives, or the gums and stabilisers common to this aisle. The core is simple: whey and milk proteins, corn fibre, almonds, and apricots. Shoppers who read labels first will find this a confident choice in a crowded and often complex aisle. It delivers on its promise of a raw, cold-pressed bar without the ultra-processed feel, making it a strong contender for a daily snack.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this bar filling enough for a snack?
- Yes, we think it's one of the more filling bars you can get for its size. The combination of 20g of protein and a very high fibre content from corn fibre makes it a dense, satiating snack. At 152 calories, it's substantial enough to bridge a meal gap without feeling like a light treat. We'd grab one when you need a snack that will genuinely keep you going.
- Is this bar better for pre or post-workout?
- It's better suited for post-workout recovery. The 20g of high-quality whey and milk protein is ideal for muscle repair after a session. With only 2.1g of sugar, it lacks the fast-acting carbohydrates you might want for an energy spike before training. We'd save this one for the gym bag to have on the way home.
- How does this compare to other Fibre Boost bars?
- This Apricot Almond flavour is very consistent with the rest of the brand's range. It shares a nearly identical high-protein, low-sugar, and high-fibre profile with flavours like Apple Crumble. The Apple Crumble version has the same protein but 0.4g less sugar per 100g, a minor difference. In our view, you can confidently switch between flavours based on preference without worrying about a major change in your macros.
- What makes this a 'clean' protein bar in your scoring?
- Our Clean Score reflects the level of processing, and this bar scores well because of its simplicity. It has just eight ingredients, whereas the average bar in this category has around 22. It contains no artificial sweeteners, colours, or preservatives, using only natural flavour and stevia. This short, transparent list is what earns it a high score, signalling a less processed choice.
- Where can I buy this protein bar in Australia?
- We haven't independently verified the specific retailers for this product. Availability for protein bars can change, so your best bet is to check the brand's own website for a current list of stockists or online ordering options. We don't track pricing or store availability as part of our reviews.
