Overview
This is a bar built from the numbers up, and the numbers are strong. With a whey and milk protein isolate base, it delivers a serious protein hit while keeping sugars to an absolute minimum. The result is a dense, satisfying bar that feels more functional than indulgent, a world away from the confectionary-style bars that are high in sugar alcohols. Compared to the typical protein bar we see, this one is in another league. It packs in significantly more protein and less than a tenth of the sugar of the category average. With only 10 ingredients, it also has a much shorter and cleaner list than the usual 22 ingredients we find in this aisle, avoiding the gums, fillers and artificial additives common elsewhere. Stacked against other flavours in the range, it's a consistent performer. The brand's Caramel Honey Macadamia version, for instance, matches it on protein at 33.5g per 100g and has just 0.1g less sugar. This consistency shows a clear focus on delivering reliable macros across the lineup. We see this as a pure utility player. It's the bar you grab when you want to hit your protein goal cleanly, without a high calorie or sugar cost. The texture is a direct result of its cold-pressed, whole-ingredient approach - dense and substantial, not light or crispy.
Protein Score: 10.0/10
The trade-off for a 20.1 gram protein hit is often a higher calorie count, but this bar sidesteps that neatly. Landing at just 166 calories, it offers one of the most efficient protein-per-calorie ratios we've seen, earning its 10/10 score. It easily clears the benchmark for a dedicated protein bar. That efficiency is the key here. With 12.1 grams of protein for every 100 calories, it sits well ahead of the typical product in this category. The protein comes from a quality blend of whey and milk isolates, which are fast-acting and ideal for post-workout recovery or bridging a long gap between meals. For the macro-conscious shopper, this is a clear win. It delivers a substantial dose of protein without the unwanted sugar or fat, making it a reliable tool for hitting daily targets. It's a true protein-first product, not a snack with a bit of protein sprinkled in.
Clean Score: 9.6/10
With no artificial sweeteners, colours, or preservatives on the label, this bar keeps its ingredient list refreshingly simple. The use of steviol glycosides (a natural sweetener) instead of artificial options is a key reason it achieves a 9.8/10 for its clean profile. It's shows a less-is-more formulation. The ingredient list is just 10 items long, less than half the category average of 22. This short list, anchored by prebiotic fibre, protein isolates, coconut, and almonds, is a direct result of the cold-pressed method, which avoids the need for the emulsifiers and binders found in many baked bars. This translates to a bar that feels closer to whole foods than a highly engineered snack. For shoppers who scrutinise labels and prefer to recognise every ingredient, this bar offers a high degree of confidence. It delivers on its functional promise without a long list of additives.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this a good bar for after the gym?
- Yes, it's an excellent choice for post-workout recovery. With 20.1 grams of protein from whey and milk isolates, it provides the necessary building blocks for muscle repair. The low sugar content also means you're getting a clean protein source without a sugar crash later. We'd say it's a great fit for a gym bag.
- Will this bar actually keep me full?
- Yes, in our view it's a very satiating snack. The combination of high protein (20.1g per bar) and extremely high fibre (42.1g per 100g) is effective at promoting fullness. Unlike many lighter snacks, this bar has the density and nutritional profile to bridge a long gap between meals. It's a solid choice for an afternoon slump.
- How does this compare to other bars in the Fibre Boost range?
- It sits very consistently alongside other flavours in the lineup. For example, the brand's Caramel Honey Macadamia bar also has 33.5g of protein per 100g and a virtually identical sugar content, with just 0.1g less per 100g. This shows a reliable focus on macros across the range, so you can likely choose based on flavour preference.
- What is this bar sweetened with?
- This bar is sweetened with Steviol Glycosides, a natural sweetener derived from the stevia plant. It contains no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners like sucralose or aspartame. This is why it can have a sweet taste while containing less than one gram of sugar per bar. It's a good option for those managing their sugar intake.
- Why does this bar score so well for its protein content?
- It scores highly because it delivers a large amount of protein for a relatively low number of calories. Our scoring system prioritises protein density, and with 20.1g of protein in a 166-calorie serve, this bar is one of the most efficient we've analysed. It comfortably clears the 20g benchmark for a dedicated protein bar, placing it in the top tier.
