Amazon Brand - Amfit Nutrition Low Sugar High Protein Bars, Cookies and Cream Flavour, 60g, Pack of 12

Product Information

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

As you might expect, there are quite a few flavours on offer, including dark chocolate and almonds, blueberry and almonds and the inventive sunflower butter and chocolate. If you’re looking for gluten free peanut butter protein bars you’ll absolutely adore the peanut butter version, which might be our personal favourite too. With that, we think that these are amongst the best gluten free protein bars in the UK that we’d recommend giving a go. 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. It is noteworthy to mention, however, that Amfit suggests consuming just 1 protein bar per day as more can cause flatulence effects.Price - Like every product or service, you want value for your money! Cheapest does not always mean "the worse" and neither does the most expensive mean "the best". If you’re looking for low calorie gluten free protein bars that are especially nutrient dense and can even substitute for one of your five a day, then Trek is probably the bar for you.

There’s a lot going on beneath the wrapper, but the first thing you’ll notice is probably the multi-layered texture, something quite unusual for gluten free low carb protein bars. The different layers give each bite real depth, and make the bars feel very indulgent, despite containing less than 1g of sugar and under 200 calories. The gluten free range offers three different types of bar; Protein Peanut & Chocolate, Protein Salted Caramel Nut and Protein Coconut & Almond. All of these account for around 20% of your daily protein needs, and contain 40g of ingredients. Chocolate deluxe has the most protein at 21g, but that’s only 1g more than the rest of the range. The deluxe and chocolate chip contain the most sugar at a measly 3g, but again that’s only 1g more than the rest. Pure hasn't compromised on taste either, and they offer a great variety of flavours, including the particularly decadent birthday cake. Best of all, there aren’t big nutritional differences between each flavour, so you can go where your taste buds take you.Obviously, there’s a lot to love here, not least the companies aim to give you a sustained energy boost with no crash. All the bars are plant based, and the only sweetener used is the naturally occurring xylitol, which is found in plants and also happens to be kind to your teeth! All in all, Nature Valley are a trusted brand who make some fantastically luxurious bars that contain a good amount of protein, lower than average levels of sugar and come with a decent calorie/protein ratio. These are some of the best tasting protein bars on the list, and we recommend sampling the whole gluten free range. This also keeps your mind focussed on where it needs to be - your chosen activity and beating your personal bests.

Nut butter, natural sweetener and protein powder form the basis of every bar, with other ingredients like coconut or almond thrown in for flavour and that extra hit of protein. It’s rare to find any foodstuffs as pure as this, and these are very high protein gluten free bars, with the majority containing over 15g. Lexi is a plant-based and free-from brand that prides itself on selecting only the highest quality, local ingredients for their products. This is with the aim of reducing their carbon footprint. The high carbohydrate content ensures energy is released slowly and sustainably, keeping you feeling full and invigorated for longer.

Before You Go!

Each bar contains around 10g of protein, and calories hover around the 200 mark. Sugar, happily, stays below 10g regardless of which bar you choose. 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 in all, these are great bars for anyone who wants to load up on protein but treat themselves at the same time! The only complaint we have with these vegan gluten free protein bars is that the flavour isn’t as great as some of the other bars listed here. There’s a lot of variety on offer, ranging from birthday cake to chocolate sprinkled doughnut, and while we were fans of the taste, it doesn't quite match up to some of the other bars. Anyone with a particular fondness for gluten free peanut butter protein bars won’t be disappointed by the Peanut & Chocolate bar, which happens to be our favourite. It’s loaded with peanuts, chocolate and peanut butter, and it tastes decadent. Each bar contains a decent 10.2g of protein and 50% less sugar than an average cereal bar, so you can enjoy this tasty treat guilt free.
