The chocolate actually tastes like chocolate - no small feat in the protein bar world. The texture is like a marshmallow and it is wrapped in chocolate. Somehow the makers of Built Bar made a product that reminds me of a 3 Musketeers bar but it doesn’t have sugar or fat. You may get a stomach ache from the this type of sweetener. I’m not sure what “digestion resistant maltodextrin” is but my guess is that you don’t absorb calories from this type of sugar substitute. They do vary a little bit depending on which flavor you choose: protein blend (whey protein isolate (milk), partially hydrolyzed whey protein isolate), water, dark chocolate (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, milkfat, soy lechithin, vanilla), digestion resistant maltodextrin, glycerin, erythritol, natural flavor, citric acid The nutritional profile of the bar is great because it doesn't have much added sugar. These are very different from most of my previous forays into the protein bar world. At the end of this post is a coupon for 10% off your purchase. You can buy a mixed box of Built Bars (which I would recommend to figure out your favorite flavors). You have to commit to a whole box to try them out. The only way to buy them is online at Built Bar and that is probably why I hadn’t seen them at the store. I was pretty excited when my box arrived. How could I not try them? Marshmallow? Treat? In a protein bar? Could these replace my favorite chocolate dessert? I decided to go out and buy my own box to see what all the hype was about. Feels like a little treat to grab a piece. I've also tried cutting them up into 6 pieces and putting them into the freezer. They have a marshmallowy consistency when you bite into them - delicious. I purchased the Double Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Raspberry Creme, and the Chocolate Strawberry Creme. I must say I had never heard of Built protein bars until Helene wrote this on my protein bar post:īuilt Bars are only 3 points for the whole bar, not that I would eat it at once. I have been looking for a long, long time. It is incredibly difficult to find a protein bar that tastes good and isn't packed with sugar. Many people are looking for something healthier than a cookie when they buy these bars - and sometimes the bar has more sugar than a cookie. They can easily end up in the "treat" end of the spectrum when you are looking for a simple, protein packed snack. When you take a look inside the protein bar, you usually find a ton of sugar to make them taste really good.

They take up an entire side of an aisle at my supermarket. There are so many protein bars! Honestly, I don't know how anyone can choose. I took a look at Quest Bars here: Quest Bars Review. I was looking for bars that tasted good, had a high amount of protein, and weren’t high in calories. Over a year ago, I wrote What Are the Best Protein Bars for Weight Loss? based on all the bars that looked good at my local Whole Foods.

I have seen many great products go downhill with new formulations - so I was skeptical when I received this box with the new bars from Built: I am sure many fans are worried that they messed it up.

Built Bar stopped producing their bar in June 2020 and went offline for over a month before they launched a new version of their product.
