Protein Chocolate Bars
When you’ve got an adolescent in your home, you’ll learn about protein merchandise. My teenage son is a protein fiend. He goes to the gymnasium, is endlessly on a mission to ‘bulk up’, and he LOVES to eat. He’s tried just a few totally different protein merchandise up to now (protein powder for his morning shakes, protein bars and so forth.) however the factor that places him off is that lots of them have that distinct and considerably disagreeable protein powdery after style.
These WheyBetter protein chocolate bars don’t have that within the slightest. Every 75g bar comprises 17g or protein, comprise zero sugar, and have been infused with 13 totally different nutritional vitamins (A, C, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7 B9, B12, D, E, Okay) plus they’re nut free, palm free, gluten free, keto pleasant, in addition to being Rainforest Alliance licensed. So, it has all of the dietary advantages of a protein bar however with the extra mass market attraction of a chocolate bar. And there’s no mistaking the truth that these do certainly look a bit like our favorite chocolate bars.
However did they move the teenage take a look at….?
Nicely, as quickly as chocolate bars entered the home I had simply sufficient time to picture them and seize a style for myself, earlier than they’d been swiped off my desk and snaffled away to my teenage son’s room.

However he additionally loves a little bit of chocolate and is often caught raiding the kitchen cabinets late at evening for one thing chocolatey. These protein chocolate bars provide a good way of satisfying a candy tooth with out completely destroying all his well being objectives.
There are many totally different choices to select from on the WheyBetter on-line store, however I believe the Taster field, which will get you both 4 or 8 WheyBetter protein white or milk chocolate bars makes an excellent gifting possibility. The white chocolate is beautiful and creamy, not too candy which is nice as some white chocolate bars is usually a little sickly after some time. And the milk chocolate bar is easy and tastes fairly wealthy like a combination between darkish and milk chocolate, so that you don’t want an excessive amount of of it to fulfill that chocolate craving.
Particular person bars are priced at £3.50 every or if you happen to purchase them as a Taster field it drops to £3.25 every with a field of 4 bars costing £13 and eight bars for £26.
