Kirkland Signature Protein bar energy variety pack, 20 Count

Product Information

There is a whole subgenre of bars at Costco and elsewhere marketed as protein-heavy that in fact carry about as much protein as two ounces of cashews, and are often extremely high in sugar and fat to boot.

But the two bottles weren't wrapped with any packaging material and sent in a thin plastic envelope.The biggest problem, however is that they use the sugar alcohol erythritol which can cause gastric distress, destroy good bacteria in the gut and has recently been linked to increased cardiovascular disease risk and strokes. It tastes like almost every other protein bar you’ve had—slightly gritty, a bit too chewy, and generally a reminder that you are eating “healthy” rather than well. Cost: While there are other protein bars that meet these requirements, many are expensive, and some consumers do not want to spend two dollars or more for a protein bar.

In the ever-evolving world of fitness and nutrition, finding the perfect protein bar can be an arduous task. The product she recommends instead of this has NONE of these advantages, and (unlike the “Chewy Protein Bars”) is almost 100% vegan (for example, it has no eggs; instead, it has some of the best vegan sources of protein). Also I recommend not wrapping elastic around the bars wrapper (I’ve done this in an attempt to keep the freshness locked in). I’ve scoured my local Costco and Costcos up and down the East Coast in my time as a member, and now I’m divulging my knowledge of the cultish grocery warehouse’s protein bar inventory for you.Given the cost, nutritional information, flavor, and portability, if you are someone who likes protein bars and wants one that packs in nutrition without costing a fortune, the Costco Kirkland protein bars may be worth trying. If you're traveling with the bars, be sure to also pack a ziplock bag and some napkins to keep the bars from getting stale and the mess that will ensue after they've been exposed to changing temperatures. Unlike other protein bars, Irvine’s is intentionally very soft—almost like an underbaked cookie covered in chocolate chips and other goodness. These often stick to the wrapper, but usually leave just a thin film or a small spot of melted chocolate, rather than fully coating the wrapper in a thick mess that’s nearly impossible to keep from spreading everywhere.

per bar - much less than what similar products in the protein bar market cost but not without some tradeoffs. Only high quality ingredients are used to create a mouthwatering combination of flavours that you know are sure to please you. Kirkland Signature Protein Bars Chocolate Brownie 1 bar has garnered positive reviews from people who have tried them.I thought the brownie flavor tasted like a sub-par Tootsie Roll, but once you get used to it, the flavor is not bad.

What many don't realize is that the Kirkland Brand often uses a strategy of private labeling most their products. Costco's Kirkland protein bars are one of the most affordable snacks you can find but certainly not one of the healthiest. Please note that for some countries listed below, there may be custom clearance charges, duty or taxes upon receipt.From a macros perspective, it’s a little lighter than Costco’s best protein bars, but with a serviceable 16g of protein and extremely low 3g of total sugars (with 8g of sugar alcohols, which are less impactful on the body). I most often keep these bars in a golf bag, in my car, or anywhere else where I might get hungry and need a quick snack.
