   I personally don’t like these bars as much as the Maple and Whey and the Maple and Peanut bars…I think it could be the dark chocolate pieces in this bar. I do however, think that all the Pulsin Protein bars are good because of their clean ingredients, relatively low sugar content and high protein content. I have health issues which result in a very erratic diet, and quite frequent nausea. This was my reason for buying these bars. If you are feeling queezy, it is much easier to eat one of these bars, than a bowl of cereal, and much healthier than crackers and butter, which I am prone to go for if I’m not feeling well. I have included a photo of the ingredients list.

   When I was first researching protein bars last year, I was shocked when I realised that most contain artificial sweeteners and often flavours too. This is cleverly disguised on the label, so you wouldn’t necessarily realise unless you looked up the the specific name on the ingredients list. These Pulsin bars may not taste the best, but they are completely natural, with no nasties. As I am not keen on the Vanilla and Chocolate Chip ones, I tend to take a couple of bites as a snack when needed, and put the rest back in a tuppaware container for another day. I have just about run out of these ones, but will definitely order another box of either the Maple and Whey or the Maple and Peanut bars.

   Although they are significantly higher in sugar, higher in saturated fats, lower in fibre and a little bit lower in protein, I would also recommend Trek Bars, especially the Cocoa Coconut, Original Oat and Cocoa Oat. They weigh the same as a Pulsin bar, at 50g. This Pulsin bar contains 230kcal, 14.2g fat of which saturates are 3.4g, 4.8g sugar, 5g fibre and 12.8g protein. A Trek Cocoa Coconut bar contains 234cals, 12.6g fat of which saturates are 6.6g, 13.5g sugar, 2.3g fibre and 9g protein. The differences in values, especially sugar are reflected in the taste. The Trek bar taste a lot yummier!!
