Peanut Butter Protein Bar

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Barebells Peanut Butter Protein Bar scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 3g fiber, 20g protein and 2g sugar. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Barebells Peanut Butter Protein Bar lists 20 ingredients, starting with Milk Protein Blend, Calcium Caseinate, Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate and Maltitol Glycerin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

210 kcal per serving, or 382 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Barebells Peanut Butter Protein Bar on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Barebells Peanut Butter Protein Bar scores worse than most protein & snack bars we have scored. A higher-scoring option in protein & snack bars is That’s It Apple + Strawberries Fruit Bar at 100/100.
