Overview
Most protein bars are a compromise between a chocolate bar and a protein shake, but this one lands differently. With an ingredient list less than half the length of the category average and significantly less sugar, it's a far more functional-feeling snack. Compared with the brand's own Apple Crumble flavour, this Apricot Coconut version matches it on protein while trimming the sugar slightly. It's part of a consistent pattern from Fibre Boost: a lineup of bars that prioritises a high protein-to-calorie ratio and avoids added sugars and artificial sweeteners, setting a high bar for the category. The massive 42.5g of fibre per 100g, mostly from prebiotic corn fibre, is the other half of the story here. This isn't just a protein delivery system; it's an incredibly dense bar designed for satiety. We see this as a solid option for an afternoon slump-buster that will actually keep you full, rather than a light, post-workout nibble.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
Fibre Boost consistently delivers some of the most protein-dense bars we track, and this flavour is no exception. A 20g protein hit from a 60g bar is a standout result, pushing it well above the category average and earning a 9.9/10. The protein-per-calorie efficiency is particularly strong. Stack this against a typical muesli bar with its 2-5g of protein, and the gap is enormous. This is a dedicated protein product, using a blend of whey and milk isolates to achieve a density that puts it on par with the top performers in the snack aisle. The payoff for this protein density is a very firm, chewy texture, which won't be for everyone. It's built for someone who wants a substantial, filling snack to bridge a meal gap, not a light, fluffy treat. For a post-gym refuel on the go, it's one of the most efficient options available.
Clean Score: 9.9/10
Is it possible to get a big protein hit from a bar without a long list of additives? This bar suggests it is. With just nine ingredients and a single natural sweetener (stevia), it achieves a very clean profile for the category, reflected in its 9.8/10 score. The ingredient list is refreshingly simple, led by prebiotic fibre, milk proteins, coconut, and almonds. By avoiding artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols like maltitol (E965), colours, and preservatives, it sidesteps the chemical load common in many high-protein snacks. This is about as close to a whole-food bar as you can get while still packing in 20g of protein. The short ingredient list and lack of gums or stabilisers contribute to the bar's dense, less-processed texture. For shoppers who read labels and prioritise a minimal ingredient panel, this bar is a standout. It's a trade-off that favours nutritional simplicity over a confectionery-like mouthfeel.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this bar filling enough for a snack?
- Yes, it's exceptionally filling for its size. The combination of 20g of protein and a very high prebiotic fibre content makes for a dense, slow-digesting bar. This is designed to promote satiety and keep you feeling full for longer than a typical snack. We'd consider it a great choice to bridge a long gap between meals.
- Is this a good bar for after a workout?
- Yes, it's a strong option for a post-workout snack. It delivers 20g of high-quality whey and milk protein, which is ideal for muscle recovery. Being a compact bar, it's easy to keep in a gym bag for a convenient refuel on the go when you don't have a protein shake handy. We'd grab one for a quick and efficient protein top-up.
- How does this compare to other bars in the Fibre Boost range?
- This Apricot Coconut flavour is very consistent with the brand's other high-protein bars. For instance, it has the same amount of protein as their Apple Crumble version and slightly less sugar. The overall pattern across the range is a focus on high protein, high fibre, and minimal sugar, rather than creating vastly different nutritional profiles for each flavour.
- What kind of sweetener does this bar use?
- This bar uses Steviol Glycosides, a natural sweetener derived from the stevia plant. It contains no added sugar and no sugar alcohols like maltitol or erythritol, which some people find can cause digestive upset. This choice helps keep the sugar content down to just 1.6g per bar. If you prefer to avoid artificial sweeteners, this is a solid choice.
- Why does this bar score so well on protein?
- The protein score reflects how much protein you get for the calories consumed. This bar packs 12.8g of protein for every 100 calories, which is an excellent efficiency ratio. The 20g of protein per 156-calorie serve is significantly more concentrated than the average protein bar we see. We score based on this density, not just the raw protein number.
