Amazon shoppers find ‘best flavour’ protein bar up to £16 cheaper than Tesco and Sainsburys

Grenade bars are high in protein and low in sugar and unlike some others they “actually taste like chocolate”

In today’s busy UK lifestyles, protein bars are a convenient, no-prep snack, ideal for food on-the-go. From post-workout recovery or a quick meal replacement, they make healthy eating easy and accessible.

Better still, protein packed snacks do not need to be boring and bland. Today’s protein bars are designed to be packed with flavour and Amazon shoppers think they have found the ‘best flavour yet.’

The Grenade OREO White Protein Bar has 20 grams of protein and a low sugar recipe. Amazon is currently selling this particular flavour for the low price of £1.50 per bar – making it almost half the price of single bars in Tesco where they are £2.90 a pop (or £2.20 for Club Card members).

Reduced from £30.99 to £18, fitness fans and protein lovers can save on the popular bars. Amazon shoppers can save 41% when bought in bulk, equating to a saving of £16.67 for a dozen bars from Tesco (£8.27 for Club Card members) and the same in Sainsburys.

While prices vary, Birthday Cake another popular flavour is £17.95 (£1.49 per bar), White Chocolate Cookie is £16.50 (£1.37 per bar) and Dark Chocolate Mint is also £17.95 (£1.49 per bar). With Father’s Day coming up on June, 15, they could even make a great gift for dads who like to work out.

If the Grenade bars aren’t quite right, My Protein has £10 off the best selling Chocolate Chip Brownies, 12 pack. With 23 grams of protein, the pocket sized snack has been called “a pure delight” and “tasty with a cuppa” by shoppers.

Elsewhere, the Protein Works Chocolate Peanut Punk Bars are reduced to £19.99 for a box of 20. Smaller than the Grenade bars with just 10 grams of protein, these treats have still managed to achieve a 4.7 out of five star rating, with many reviews saying how well they help to keep hunger at bay in between meals.

For protein lovers who would prefer to meet their daily goals in shake form, Amazon is selling the Huel Black Edition multipack with a whopping 35 grams of protein per bottle. With 16% off, a pack of 8 bottles is now on sale for £25.62.

The Grenade bars have been given a 4.4 out of five star rating by sweet-toothed Amazon shoppers. One buyer said: “I think I’ve repurchased this same protein bar about fifty times at this point. Quality is always consistent and considering its low sugar content it is still sweet. Great way to increase your protein intake via a snack on the go.”

Another added: “Better than I expected. Good sweetness and good flavour, stops my sugar craving and helps with protein intake. Overall good product and price if brought in bulk rather than 1 at a time in the shops.”

A third was impressed with the taste, saying: “Grenade’s White Oreo flavour is, without a doubt, the best one I’ve tried. It’s low carb, which is fantastic, and it doesn’t have that overly processed taste that a lot of similar products tend to have.”

Not all buyers were quite so impressed. One disappointed shopper left a three-star review that said: “Odd texture just a bit too chewy, flavour is okay, but I’d prefer other options and I am just eating them for the protein content at this point.”

With more than 1,000 reviews for this flavour alone, the Grenade bars seem to be big hit with most buyers. A five-star review summed it up, saying: “My favourite protein bar. This flavour tops all the others in my opinion. A tasty, chewy bar with no grainy taste. I use these as an after gym snack or to support my protein intake.”

Another shopper said: “Doesn’t taste like a protein bar that’s difficult to chew or swallow, taste like a proper chocolate bar.”
