When to Choose think! High Protein Bar Brownie Crunch
Budget shoppers who want zero sugar and high protein without sucralose specifically
think! bars achieve 0g sugar and 20g protein without resorting to sucralose — a meaningful distinction from Quest. The trade-off is sugar alcohols, which bring their own digestive concerns. The whey-soy protein blend is effective but the soy inclusion may deter some buyers. Solid budget option.
Strengths
- 20g protein with 0g sugar — achieves zero sugar without artificial sweeteners like sucralose
- Whey protein isolate provides high bioavailability as the primary protein source
- Budget-friendly at ~$2.00/bar with strong macros for the price
Limitations
- Achieves 0g sugar through sugar alcohol technology — impacts digestive tolerance
- Contains soy protein isolate which some consumers prefer to avoid
- No major third-party certifications for purity or banned substances
When to Choose Pure Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar
Budget buyers who want the most protein per dollar and are not concerned about artificial sweeteners
Pure Protein wins on value — 20g protein at ~$1.33/bar is the cheapest protein per gram in this comparison. The whey blend is effective. But sucralose and likely artificial flavors earn it some of the lowest ingredient scores. This is the bar for those who count macros and dollars, not ingredient labels.
Strengths
- Best value in this comparison at ~$1.33/bar with 20g protein per bar
- Whey protein blend provides good bioavailability and complete amino acids
- Widely available at nearly every grocery store, convenience store, and pharmacy
Limitations
- Contains sucralose — a controversial artificial sweetener penalized in our scoring
- Likely contains artificial flavors alongside the sucralose sweetening
- Minimal transparency about sourcing, testing, or manufacturing practices
