Protein Review - Reflex R-Bar (Cookies & Cream)

Reflex are perhaps a lesser known brand and they're advertising their market niche as a fully 'natural' protein bar with no artificial flavours, no gluten or palm oil and 'naturally' sweetened with stevia and nut butters. But we'll have to see if this causes a compromise with the taste.

Protein Review - Fulfil Vitamin and Protein Bar (Cookies & Cream)

Fulfil have introduced a fairly interesting product that tries to distinguish itself from the competition by having both a high protein content bar but also with 9 added vitamins, to try to appeal to the  more health and micro nutrient conscious consumer.

Protein Review - Fuel10K High Protein Liquid Breakfast (Caffe Latte)


I find that something that should be so easy, yet in reality is difficult, is to make a great tasting high protein coffee. Most of the ones I have tried thus far either lack significant coffee flavour, is overpowered by the taste of whey, or more commonly, the thick stodgy texture lets it down. We'll see how this one fares.....

Protein Review - MusclePharm Combat Crunch (Cookies 'N' Cream)

MusclePharm's combat crunch bars are marketed as having a unique baking process which supposedly means that the inside tastes like a 'soft batch cookie' (their words exactly). But as always, we'll see for ourselves how true that is.

Protein Review - BPI Sports S'mores Protein Bar




I was offered a sample of a BPI sports S'mores protein bar and was curious as to how it would taste as I was told that it is very similar to the popular Quest bar however, I was curious as to where the extra calories came from.

Protein Review - Protein Works Whey Protein i-Shake (Red Berry Twist)

Protein Works are perhaps not the most well known brand, but they do have a fairly interesting line of products, especially their single serve formats for their popular whey flavours. They're designed so that you don't need a shaker to mix it and all you have to do is add water and give the bottle a few shakes. This does mean that they (and I) have high expectation for the mixability (and taste) of the protein powder but I'll let you know exactly how it fares.

Protein Review - MusclePharm Combat Crunch (Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough)

MusclePharm's combat crunch bars are a double layered protein bar with a whey centre and a coating of chocolate on the outside. They are marketed as having a unique baking process which supposedly means that the inside tastes like a 'soft batch cookie' (their words exactly). But as always, we'll see for ourselves how true that is.
