Dave's note

These are the protein bars I buy when I want a genuinely food-based ingredient list rather than a long blend of isolates, syrups and sugar alcohols. Chief publishes the percentages of cashews and collagen, and the remaining ingredients are straightforward and recognisable.

Why I like it

More detail

  • The label is unusually transparent for a protein bar: 61% cashews and 25% grass-fed collagen are declared.
  • The rest of the formula uses recognisable ingredients and avoids artificial thickeners, sugar alcohols and unnecessary fillers.
  • At 15.7 g protein, it is a useful portable snack rather than a confectionery bar with a token protein claim.
  • I still count it as a 215-calorie cashew-based food, not a free food or a complete meal.

How I use it

  • I use one bar as a portable snack when the alternative is likely to be a less useful convenience food.
  • I pair it with a meal or other food when I need more carbohydrate, micronutrients or total energy than the bar provides.
  • I do not use collagen bars as the sole protein source because collagen has a different amino-acid profile from complete dietary proteins.

Check nut allergy, energy needs, protein quality across the full diet, and whether a bar is being used as a convenient snack or repeatedly replacing complete meals.

  • 15.7 g protein per bar
  • 11 g grass-fed collagen per bar
  • 2.5 g sugar and 3.1 g fibre per bar
  • No sugar alcohols or seed oils
