10 Best Low Carb (Keto Friendly) & Tasty Protein Bars [2019 Review]

PROS

• They are the most researched low-carb protein bar on the market – it took Dr. Anthony Gustin (founder of Perfect Keto) over 12 and over 18 different attempts to land on what is now a fantastic product.
• Keto-optimized macronutrients – with each bar only containing 10g of protein, 19g of fat, and only 3g of net carbohydrates.
• Keeps you fuller for longer – due to the high amount of fiber they keep you feeling delighted and full for hours.
• No artificial sweeteners – also free from dairy, gluten, soy and corn products.

CONS

• Fat content – this bar contains a much larger content of fat in it than other bars meaning that customers would have to keep an eye on the total calorie intake from this bar to remain within their calorie goals for the day.

PROS

• Flavors – Aloha offers a very diverse range of flavors for its customers with their top flavors being a Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Chocolate Mint, Mocha, Peanut Butter & Jelly, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, and Vanilla Almond Crunch. So no matter what your taste is, Aloha will be able to provide a flavor to suit you

CONS

• Texture – at first glance the bar has been described as being firmer, heavier, and also denser than your typical brownie on the market, however, it does have a very rich chocolate brownie taste which customers love
• After taste – the protein powder in the bar gives the brownie a rather nasty after-taste, and this has been one of its biggest criticisms

PROS

• High fat & fiber content – contains a high amount of MCT oil to promote healthy heart function, brain health, and a key driver to preventing obesity
• No added artificial flavorings, preservatives, or sugar; this makes it a great alternative for any customers who are wanting a healthy bar as well as a hit of the protein

CONS

• Protein – while this bar does have a low level of sugar which is good for health purposes, it also has a very low amount of protein in it. This means it’s a bit of an inefficient way to deliver a big hit of protein, either between meals or post workout
• Taste – the taste has been described to be quite bitter and rough. This is something which customers have not liked so much in the past. Typically this is the stereotype that protein bars have been given and unfortunately Keto-crave has matched into this stereotype with their product

PROS

• Flavors – they offer a wide array of flavors ranging from dark chocolate coconut, chocolate peanut butter, vanilla, all the way to coffee and cinnamon flavor
• Ingredients – the Keto Bar contains only natural ingredients, making it a great option for anyone who is wanting to keep their health in check at the same time
• Dietary requirements – gluten free protein bar making it accessible to more customers
• No added sugars are put into this product

CONS

• Dietary requirements – unfortunately, this product is not a dairy-free product, meaning it may be unsuitable for customers who would like it to be non-dairy
• The Keto Bar contains a preservative known as Potassium Sorbate which typically is very safe to consume, but it has been reported to cause skin allergies in certain users.

PROS

• A diverse range of flavors – with the three exotic flavors they have to offer, customers are spoilt for choice when it comes to picking one (lemon cookie, vanilla shortbread, and mint chocolate chip)
• Improved focus – due to its high level of brain octane oil it works to help your brain function optimally throughout the day

CONS

PROS

• Flavors – with over three delicious flavors available (chocolate peanut butter, french toast creme, double chocolate) meaning that there is a flavor suited for almost any customers

• At only 100 calories per bar, the Health Warrior Chia Bar comes in with the lowest calories of any bar on our list today making it very easy to fit into any calorie controlled diet

CONS

• The main reason why the calorie content of the bars is so low is due to their size being much smaller than other bars meaning that customers may have to eat more than one bar to achieve the same level of satiety as if they were to buy a different brand
• Chia seeds are small and regularly get stuck in your teeth which can be annoying to the customers
