Plant-based snackers who want a soy-free protein bar with clean ingredients

  • Soy-free formula appeals to those avoiding common allergens
  • Good greens protein blend adds micronutrient density beyond just protein

Limitations

  • No major third-party certifications like USDA Organic or NSF

When to Choose Barebells Cookies & Cream Protein Bar

Taste-first consumers who want the best-tasting high-protein bar and can tolerate sugar alcohols

Barebells is arguably the best-tasting protein bar on the market — it genuinely tastes like a candy bar. The 20g protein and 1g sugar macros are excellent. The catch is maltitol in the coating, which dings ingredient purity and sugar profile scores. If you prioritize taste and macros over ingredient purity, Barebells wins.

Strengths

  • Exceptional taste that rivals actual candy bars — consistently top-rated for flavor
  • 20g whey protein with only 1g sugar makes for an outstanding macro profile
  • Swedish-designed with a satisfying chocolate coating and creamy center

Limitations

  • Contains maltitol in the chocolate coating — a sugar alcohol that can cause digestive issues
  • No USDA Organic, NSF, or other major health-focused certifications
  • Ingredient list includes several processed additives beyond the maltitol
