Fibre Boost Raw, Cold Pressed, Flavoured Protein Bar Banana Bread
Fibre Boost Raw, Cold Pressed, Flavoured Protein Bar Banana Bread: independently scored 10.0/10 on Protein Score and 9.6/10 on Clean Score by ProteinScore.
20.7g protein per serve · 144 cal · 1.3g sugar · 49mg sodium · 60g serve.
Overview
This isn't your typical overly-sweet, additive-heavy protein bar. With an ingredient list half the length of the category average and just 2.2g of sugar per 100g, it signals a more functional, whole-food-leaning approach from the outset. Compared with the brand's own Coconut bar, this Banana Bread version packs a fraction more protein but also a little more sugar. The core formula remains consistent across the Fibre Boost range we've seen: a cold-pressed base of whey and milk proteins, prebiotic fibre, nuts, and natural flavours. The 'raw, cold-pressed' format delivers a dense, chewy texture, not a baked or crispy one. It's a substantial bite. The high fibre content - a massive 43g per 100g - is the other major story here, contributing to satiety in a way few bars manage. We see this as a desk-drawer staple or a serious gym-bag refuel.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
This is one of the most efficient protein bars we have tested. It delivers a substantial 20.7g protein hit in a very small calorie budget, clearing the field for protein density and earning a 10/10. The protein-per-100-calories figure is where it truly stands out from the crowd, making every calorie work hard. The 34.4g of protein per 100g is well above the category average for snacks. It's built on a blend of whey protein isolate and milk protein isolate, two high-quality sources that are rapidly absorbed. This makes it a solid choice for post-workout recovery when convenience is key. Stack this against a standard muesli bar, and you're getting four to five times the protein, placing it firmly in the dedicated protein bar camp.
Clean Score: 9.6/10
The only additive here is a natural sweetener, Steviol Glycosides, derived from the stevia plant. With a short list of just 10 recognisable ingredients and no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives, the bar achieves a 9.8/10. It's a great example of a minimally processed format that prioritises whole-food components like almonds, walnuts and banana. This score places it far ahead of the typical protein bar on our list, which averages more than double the number of ingredients. The trade-off for such a clean profile is often shelf life or texture, but the cold-pressed method creates a stable, dense bar without needing extra processing aids. For shoppers who scrutinise labels, this bar offers a high degree of transparency.

Frequently asked questions
- How filling is this bar for a snack?
- It's surprisingly filling for its size. The bar contains a massive 43g of fibre per 100g, which contributes significantly to the feeling of fullness. Combined with over 20g of protein, it's much more substantial than a typical snack bar. In our view, it's more than enough to bridge a meal gap or handle an afternoon slump. We'd grab one when you need a snack that genuinely tides you over.
- Is this bar better for pre- or post-workout?
- It's best suited for post-workout recovery. The 20.7g of protein per bar is a substantial dose to help with muscle repair, and the primary sources are whey and milk isolates, which are absorbed relatively quickly. While you could eat it beforehand, the high fibre content might be uncomfortable for some during an intense session. We think it's an ideal, convenient option for your gym bag to have straight after training.
- How does this compare to other bars in the Fibre Boost range?
- This Banana Bread flavour sits right in the middle of the brand's high-performing range. For instance, it has slightly more protein than their Coconut bar (34.4g vs 33.9g per 100g) but also a little more sugar. The core of high protein, high fibre, and no added sugar is consistent across the flavours we've seen. The main difference comes down to your personal flavour preference.
- What makes the ingredient list 'clean'?
- We score 'clean' based on the level of processing evident in the ingredient list. This bar scores well because it has a short list of just 10 ingredients, avoids artificial sweeteners, colours, and preservatives, and uses only one natural additive (stevia for sweetness). Compared to the category average of 22 ingredients, it's a much simpler, more transparent formula. It's a good fit for ingredient-conscious shoppers.
- Is this bar suitable for a daily snack?
- Yes, for most people, this bar is suitable as a daily snack. Its nutritional profile is strong, with high protein, high fibre, and very low sugar at just 1.3g per serve. It's not an indulgent, dessert-style bar. The main consideration would be the inclusion of nuts (almonds and walnuts) if you have sensitivities or are packing it for a nut-free environment like a school. Otherwise, it's a solid daily protein top-up.
