Amfit’s high protein gluten free bars are perfect for fitness enthusiasts and athletes who are dedicated to their training. Pure hasn't compromised on taste either, and they offer a great variety of flavours, including the particularly decadent birthday cake. Best of all, there aren’t big nutritional differences between each flavour, so you can go where your taste buds take you. Each bar is made from 100% natural ingredients and consists of a mixture of fruit and nuts. Nakd put nature at the heart of their agenda, so none of the bars undergo heat processing and they don’t include sugar syrup or any other additives. The choice of different flavours varies hugely between different supplement manufacturers. It is an important factor to consider in my Amfit Nutrition review. There are some with a huge choice of flavours available. This is particularly true in whey protein shakes.

They contain 15g of protein and so can certainly help you work towards your gym goals while equally not eating away at your calorie allowance; each bar is just 189 calories. This is slightly more expensive compared with what I would of liked to see. Given that the Grenade bars are a more premium brand, I would have liked to see Amfit Nutrition for a bit less. However the price is still not overly expensive and represents fairly good value for money. Detour believe that people are more likely to eat healthily if the food tastes good, and they’ve created a range of gluten-free protein bars which are tasty in their own right. We’d be more than happy to eat these at any time, even if weren’t working out. All in all, these are great bars for anyone who wants to load up on protein but treat themselves at the same time! It’s really no wonder that Pulsin has won so many awards. Their bars taste great and make you feel great too. The high fibre content keeps you feeling fuller for longer, and although the range doesn’t offer as much choice as some of the bigger companies on this list, what Pulsin do, they do incredibly well.Each one contains 10g of natural protein, and although that’s not the biggest number on the list, the addition of fruits and nuts means that just one bar constitutes one of your five a day. Everything is designed with that all important, slow release energy in mind, so a bar will easily see you through a race or workout. These bars get their name from what the company considers the ridiculous nature of their existence, since it shouldn’t be possible to make a bar that tastes so good but doesn’t compromise on any of the health benefits offered by competitors. We love this emphasis on the environment, and Ridiculous bars are some of the tastiest around. The multiple layers of flavour really make a difference, and you could easily replace a whole desert with the Chocolate Caramelicious. All things considered, it’s no wonder that the Ridiculous bar was named #1 vegan protein bar by Women’s Running Magazine. Rise Bars tend to rank very highly among nutritionists, and with good reason. Rise prides itself on using no more than 5 ingredients per bar, so you always know exactly what you’re getting, and there aren’t any additives or other unwanted additions. We love this emphasis on simplicity and purity of recipe, and Rise bars also provide some of the most balanced nutrition available.

Overall, Amfit Nutrition is an exciting new entry to the supplement market. The key focus for them is on low cost good value supplements. My favourite is definitely the whey protein. It is uncommon to see a whey isolate blend at such a low price point and this makes a compelling option.

Before You Go!

Every bar is high in protein, with around 13g, and they’re all none GMO. Sugar content is fairly low at around the 5.6g mark per bar, and there aren’t too many calories. Everything is certified vegan, and you can choose between caramel chocolate chip and peanut, peanut chocolate, vanilla chocolate or maple and peanut. Expect to find combinations of fruits, nuts, and pea and rice proteins making up the range. There’s a lot of choice, including chocolate brownie, white chocolate and raspberry and double chocolate. The bakewell tart flavour is a nice addition, and since it’s only 213 calories and contains 9g of protein, you can enjoy it guilt free. Cake flavoured protein bars are usually a mixed bag, but we’re pleased to confirm that this one actually tastes great, and really does resemble a cherry bakewell!

There’s a lot going on beneath the wrapper, but the first thing you’ll notice is probably the multi-layered texture, something quite unusual for gluten free low carb protein bars. The different layers give each bite real depth, and make the bars feel very indulgent, despite containing less than 1g of sugar and under 200 calories. All in all, Nature Valley are a trusted brand who make some fantastically luxurious bars that contain a good amount of protein, lower than average levels of sugar and come with a decent calorie/protein ratio. These are some of the best tasting protein bars on the list, and we recommend sampling the whole gluten free range. They have a soft and gooey consistency that is coated in plant-based chocolate and so are perfect for adding some guilt-free indulgence to your day.

Customer reviews

When a company attempts to make protein bars gluten free, they often do so at the expense of taste, but this isn’t the case with Pulsin. We loved all the flavours on offer, especially the Caramel Choc Chip & Peanut, which feels dense and has a real crunch. This particular bar is also high in fibre, so it will make you feel fuller for longer. Anyone with a particular fondness for gluten free peanut butter protein bars won’t be disappointed by the Peanut & Chocolate bar, which happens to be our favourite. It’s loaded with peanuts, chocolate and peanut butter, and it tastes decadent. Each bar contains a decent 10.2g of protein and 50% less sugar than an average cereal bar, so you can enjoy this tasty treat guilt free. Nuts and nut butter form the basis of most of the bars, and that’s what makes Nature Valley protein bars gluten free. While these bars might not be right for serious athletes looking to load up on energy, they do strike a good balance between nutrition and taste, so anybody will enjoy them
