Overview
Compared with the brand's Apricot Coconut bar, this Choc Cherry Coconut version lands with fractionally more protein and sugar. It's a tiny shift, showing how consistent the brand's macro-heavy, low-sugar formula is across its lineup. This bar sits well above the 27g category average for protein per 100g, making it one of the denser options you can find. The ingredient list is also roughly half the length of a typical protein snack we see, signalling a less-is-more approach to formulation. The ingredient panel is built on a foundation of whey and milk protein isolates, with corn fibre doing the heavy lifting on texture and satiety. Real cherries, coconut, and cocoa provide the flavour, sweetened with steviol glycosides rather than sugar or sugar alcohols. We find this combination avoids the chemical aftertaste that plagues many bars in this aisle. As a cold-pressed bar, the texture is dense and chewy, not light and crispy. It's a substantial snack that feels more functional than indulgent, built for a gym bag or desk drawer when you need a proper protein hit without a sugar crash.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
This bar is a perfect example of Fibre Boost's protein-first strategy, sitting right at the top of the brand's own high benchmark. The 20.1g of protein per 60g serve delivers a serious dose for its size, earning a Protein Score/10 and clearing the category average with ease. Stack this against a standard muesli bar, which might offer 2-5g of protein, and the difference is stark. This is a dedicated protein product, not a snack with a sprinkle of protein for marketing. Its protein-per-calorie density is one of the highest we've tracked in the bar category. The protein comes from a blend of whey and milk isolates, both high-quality, fast-absorbing sources. This makes it a solid choice for post-workout recovery. It's not a casual snack; it's for the person who reads the protein column on the label first.
Clean Score: 9.5/10
This is a minimally processed bar, using a cold-pressed method that avoids baking and extensive heat treatment. With a short ingredient list and only one natural sweetener, it achieves a Clean Score/10, landing it far ahead of the typical, more heavily engineered snack bar. The ingredient list contains just 11 items, which is about half the 22-ingredient average for protein snacks. It avoids artificial sweeteners, colours, and preservatives entirely. The single additive is steviol glycosides (E960), a plant-derived sweetener. The trade-off for this clean profile is a reliance on whole-food textures from almonds, coconut and cherries. It doesn't have the uniform, soft-baked feel of bars that use emulsifiers and gums. For shoppers prioritising a shorter, more recognisable ingredient list, this is a clear win.

Frequently asked questions
- How does this bar compare to others in the Fibre Boost range?
- This Choc Cherry Coconut flavour is nutritionally very similar to other bars in the Fibre Boost lineup. For instance, it has slightly more protein and sugar than the Apricot Coconut version, but the differences are minor. The brand maintains a consistent high-protein, low-sugar, high-fibre profile across most of its flavours. Your choice will likely come down to flavour preference rather than a major nutritional trade-off.
- Is this bar a good option for after a workout?
- Yes, with 20.1g of protein per serve, it's a strong choice for post-workout recovery. The protein is sourced from whey and milk isolates, which are quickly absorbed and effective for muscle repair. It provides a genuine protein hit comparable to many dedicated recovery bars. We'd consider it a solid gym-bag staple for a convenient refuel.
- Will this protein bar actually keep me full?
- In our view, yes, it's quite filling for its size. The bar is very high in fibre, which promotes satiety and helps you feel fuller for longer. Combined with the substantial 20.1g of protein, it's much more satisfying than a typical snack bar with similar calories. It's a dense, chewy bar designed to tide you over between meals.
- What does 'cold-pressed' mean for the texture?
- 'Cold-pressed' means the ingredients are blended and compressed under high pressure without using heat. This results in a dense, firm, and chewy texture, rather than a soft, baked, or crispy one. It feels more like a traditional raw food or nut bar. This method helps retain the nutritional integrity of the ingredients, which is a key reason it scores so well.
- How is the Protein Score for this bar calculated?
- The Protein Score is based on protein density, both per 100g and per 100 calories. This bar's 33.5g of protein per 100g is significantly higher than the 27g category average for protein snacks. It also packs an efficient 12.8g of protein for every 100 calories. These strong metrics place it well above the average product in this category.
