Pure bars stand out in the world of gluten free protein bars due to their superior sugar to protein ratio. They contain an impressive 20g of protein per bar, which makes them one of the most protein dense products on the list. Couple this with low sugar (just 3g) and you’ve got a bar that you can enjoy without compromising your diet.

High in protein: Each USN Trust Cookie protein bar contains 15g of protein, contributing towards the development of your muscle mass. Plus, it’s suitable for vegetarians! It is noteworthy to mention, however, that Amfit suggests consuming just 1 protein bar per day as more can cause flatulence effects.It’s really no wonder that Pulsin has won so many awards. Their bars taste great and make you feel great too. The high fibre content keeps you feeling fuller for longer, and although the range doesn’t offer as much choice as some of the bigger companies on this list, what Pulsin do, they do incredibly well. For protein bars, it can often be a fine balancing act between great taste and a good nutritional value. Each bar from Amfit Nutrition contains over 20g of protein. This is roughly the same amount as a protein shake. To compare with my favourite protein bars from Grenade, there is slightly less protein. Grenade Carb Killa bars contain 23g of protein per par, as oppose to 20g from Amfit. Overall, Amfit Nutrition is an exciting new entry to the supplement market. The key focus for them is on low cost good value supplements. My favourite is definitely the whey protein. It is uncommon to see a whey isolate blend at such a low price point and this makes a compelling option. The high carbohydrate content ensures energy is released slowly and sustainably, keeping you feeling full and invigorated for longer.

What is especially useful about Misfits’ range is that they ship internationally and can be found in supermarkets up and down the UK.

IS A NUTRITION DEGREE REALLY WORTH IT?

When a company attempts to make protein bars gluten free, they often do so at the expense of taste, but this isn’t the case with Pulsin. We loved all the flavours on offer, especially the Caramel Choc Chip & Peanut, which feels dense and has a real crunch. This particular bar is also high in fibre, so it will make you feel fuller for longer. Bars come in a range of flavours, and our favourite is probably the Blueberry Muffin. It really does taste like its much more unhealthy namesake, and it's loaded with enough fruits to count as one of your five a day. The ingredient list is refreshingly simple, and the bar contains an impressive 58% dates and 15% cashews, with a few more nuts and fruits thrown in for good measure. All ingredients are natural and raw, and they haven’t undergone any artificial processes. They're dairy free too, vegan friendly and contain no added sugar. We loved the flavour, and these bars are wonderfully crunchy with a great texture
