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
When to Choose Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bar
Macro-focused gym-goers who prioritize protein-to-calorie ratio above ingredient purity
Quest dominates on macros — 21g protein, <1g sugar, widely available everywhere. But it achieves this with sucralose AND erythritol, earning the lowest ingredient purity and sugar profile scores in our comparison. If you only count macros, Quest is king. If ingredient quality matters, look elsewhere.
Strengths
- Industry-leading macros with 21g protein and less than 1g sugar per bar
- Milk protein isolate and whey isolate provide high bioavailability and complete amino acids
- Widely available in virtually every grocery store, gas station, and gym in the country
Limitations
- Contains BOTH sucralose and erythritol — double artificial sweetener and sugar alcohol penalty
- Heavily processed ingredient list with numerous additives beyond the protein
- Sucralose is one of the most controversial artificial sweeteners in health-conscious circles
