When to Choose Built Bar Double Chocolate Fudge

Dessert lovers who want a genuinely enjoyable protein bar with moderate macros

Built Bar created a unique texture category — light and marshmallow-like with real chocolate coating. The whey-collagen blend provides 17g protein, and at only 4g sugar it satisfies sweet cravings without the sugar hit. Lacks certifications but the eating experience is genuinely different from every other bar here.

Strengths

  • Real chocolate coating with a light, marshmallow-like texture unlike any competitor
  • Whey and collagen protein blend provides 17g protein with joint support benefits
  • Only 4g sugar per bar with a dessert-like eating experience

Limitations

  • No major health or sport certifications available
  • Collagen portion of protein blend is incomplete — not all amino acids present
  • Limited retail availability — primarily sold through direct-to-consumer channels

When to Choose No Cow Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Bar

Vegan macro-counters who want high protein and low sugar without dairy

No Cow achieves an impressive 20g protein with 1g sugar in a fully vegan bar. The brown rice and pea protein blend provides decent (though not complete) amino acids. The allulose sweetener is natural but its classification remains debated. Strong macros for the plant-based category.

Strengths

  • 20g plant protein with only 1g sugar — one of the best macro profiles among vegan bars
  • Dairy-free and vegan with brown rice and pea protein blend
  • No artificial sweeteners — uses allulose, a naturally occurring rare sugar

Limitations

  • Allulose classification is debated — technically a rare sugar, not a traditional sweetener
  • No major third-party certifications for purity or banned substance testing
  • Some consumers report a slight aftertaste from the allulose sweetening
