Protein Chocolate Bars
When you’ve got a young person in your home, you’ll find out about protein merchandise. My teenage son is a protein fiend. He goes to the fitness center, is eternally on a mission to ‘bulk up’, and he LOVES to eat. He’s tried a couple of totally different protein merchandise previously (protein powder for his morning shakes, protein bars and so on.) however the factor that places him off is that a whole lot of them have that distinct and considerably disagreeable protein powdery after style.
These WheyBetter protein chocolate bars don’t have that within the slightest. Every 75g bar comprises 17g or protein, include zero sugar, and have been infused with 13 totally different nutritional vitamins (A, C, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7 B9, B12, D, E, Okay) plus they’re nut free, palm free, gluten free, keto pleasant, in addition to being Rainforest Alliance licensed. So, it has all of the dietary advantages of a protein bar however with the extra mass market attraction of a chocolate bar.

These protein chocolate bars supply an effective way of satisfying a candy tooth with out completely destroying all his well being targets.
There are many totally different choices to select from on the WheyBetter on-line store, however I believe the Taster field, which will get you both 4 or 8 WheyBetter protein white or milk chocolate bars makes a terrific gifting possibility. The white chocolate is beautiful and creamy, not too candy which is nice as some white chocolate bars is usually a little sickly after some time. And the milk chocolate bar is clean and tastes fairly wealthy like a mixture between darkish and milk chocolate, so that you don’t want an excessive amount of of it to fulfill that chocolate craving.
Particular person bars are priced at £3.50 every or should you purchase them as a Taster field it drops to £3.25 every with a field of 4 bars costing £13 and eight bars for £26.
