Shoppers find 'best flavour' protein bar up to £16 cheaper than Tesco
In today's busy UK lifestyles, protein bars are a convenient, no-prep snack, ideal for food on-the-go. From post-workout recovery or a quick meal replacement, they make healthy eating easy and accessible.
Better still, protein packed snacks do not need to be boring and bland. Today's protein bars are designed to be packed with flavour and Amazon shoppers think they have found the 'best flavour yet.'
The Grenade OREO White Protein Bar has 20 grams of protein and a low sugar recipe. Amazon is currently selling this particular flavour for the low price of £1.50 per bar - making it almost half the price of single bars in Tesco where they are £2.90 a pop (or £2.20 for Club Card members).
Reduced from £30.99 to £18, fitness fans and protein lovers can save on the popular bars. Amazon shoppers can save 41% when bought in bulk, equating to a saving of £16.67 for a dozen bars from Tesco (£8.27 for Club Card members) and the same in Sainsburys.
While prices vary, Birthday Cake another popular flavour is £17.95 (£1.49 per bar), White Chocolate Cookie is £16.50 (£1.37 per bar) and Dark Chocolate Mint is also £17.95 (£1.49 per bar). With Father's Day coming up on June, 15, they could even make a great gift for dads who like to work out.
If the Grenade bars aren't quite right, My Protein has £10 off the best selling Chocolate Chip Brownies, 12 pack. With 23 grams of protein, the pocket sized snack has been called "a pure delight" and "tasty with a cuppa" by shoppers.
Elsewhere, the Protein Works Chocolate Peanut Punk Bars are reduced to £19.99 for a box of 20. Smaller than the Grenade bars with just 10 grams of protein, these treats have still managed to achieve a 4.7 out of five star rating, with many reviews saying how well they help to keep hunger at bay in between meals.
For protein lovers who would prefer to meet their daily goals in shake form, Amazon is selling the Huel Black Edition multipack with a whopping 35 grams of protein per bottle. With 16% off, a pack of 8 bottles is now on sale for £25.62.
The Grenade bars have been given a 4.4 out of five star rating by sweet-toothed Amazon shoppers. One buyer said: "I think I've repurchased this same protein bar about fifty times at this point. Quality is always consistent and considering its low sugar content it is still sweet. Great way to increase your protein intake via a snack on the go."
Another added: "Better than I expected. Good sweetness and good flavour, stops my sugar craving and helps with protein intake. Overall good product and price if brought in bulk rather than 1 at a time in the shops."
A third was impressed with the taste, saying: "Grenade's White Oreo flavour is, without a doubt, the best one I've tried. It's low carb, which is fantastic, and it doesn't have that overly processed taste that a lot of similar products tend to have."
Not all buyers were quite so impressed. One disappointed shopper left a three-star review that said: "Odd texture just a bit too chewy, flavour is okay, but I'd prefer other options and I am just eating them for the protein content at this point."
With more than 1,000 reviews for this flavour alone, the Grenade bars seem to be big hit with most buyers. A five-star review summed it up, saying: " My favourite protein bar. This flavour tops all the others in my opinion. A tasty, chewy bar with no grainy taste. I use these as an after gym snack or to support my protein intake."

Tesco UK boss: 'Price alone won't help customers to shop a healthier basket'
Ashwin Prasad, the chief executive of Tesco's UK arm, writes: 'We, and the whole food industry, can and must innovate and find new ways to encourage healthier choices' Good health starts with good food. We all know the importance of getting a balanced diet – for our health, and the health of those we care about. But worryingly, the latest data shows many of us aren't getting the nutritious diet we need. Fewer than one in five adults and one in 10 children regularly eat the recommended five-a-day. That needs to change. Getting enough fruit and veg can reduce the risk of longer-term health conditions, like heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer. As the Government's new food strategy rightly identifies, the more people we can help to eat their five-a-day, the more people we can help to live healthier lives. That means we need to listen and understand the barriers people face to getting their five-a-day. Over the last year, we have been working with the British Nutrition Foundation to understand in more detail the challenges our customers face when it comes to eating healthily. We spent time in communities up and down the UK, speaking to community members, including youth and charity workers, council members, and health professionals. Affordability is of course front of mind for many. But it's clear that price alone won't help customers to shop a healthier basket. We want to help our customers make small changes that amount to big health benefits for themselves and their families. People told us they want help with ideas and inspiration, or need more confidence in cooking healthy meals. And they want to see young people empowered to make healthier choices through access to fruit and veg and education. We, and the whole food industry, can and must innovate and find new ways to encourage healthier choices, so we can put healthy food in the hands of customers, more of the time. That's why at Tesco we are launching a campaign to help families eat their five-a-day. We are investing in new initiatives to inspire and incentivise our customers to make healthier choices easier for everyone. That includes new personalised Clubcard Stamps for millions of customers on fruit and veg that will be tailored to their buying habits, Clubcard Challenges on frozen and tinned fruit and veg and pulses, additional Clubcard prices and offers in store, and refreshed recipe inspiration online. That's on top of long-running promotions on fruit and veg, like Fresh 5, and two thirds of our Aldi Price Match products being healthy. We'll also be building out our support for kids to get off to a healthy start in life. As well as providing millions of pieces of fruit and vegetables to thousands of children in 400 schools across the UK this year through our Fruit & Veg for Schools programme, we'll be giving away free fruit for kids in selected stores across the UK during the school holidays. We're committed to doing our part, now and in future – but we won't solve this alone. It's time for the whole food industry to come together with the Government and wider society so that great nutrition is something everyone can enjoy. As Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting says: "Obesity has doubled since the 1990s and costs our NHS £11 billion a year, triple the budget for ambulance services. Unless we curb the rising tide of cost and demand, the NHS risks becoming unsustainable. The good news is that it only takes a small change to make a big difference. If everyone who is overweight reduced their calorie intake by around 200 calories a day - the equivalent of a bottle of fizzy drink - obesity would be halved. This government's ambition for kids today is for them to be part of the healthiest generation of children ever. That is within our grasp. With the smart steps we're taking today, we can give every child a healthy start to life. "Our brilliant supermarkets already do so much work for our communities and are trying to make their stores heathier, and we want to work with them and other businesses to create a level playing field. Through our new healthy food standard, we will make the healthy choice the easy choice, because prevention is better than cure. By shifting from sickness to prevention through our Plan for Change, we will make sure the NHS can be there for us when we need it." Only through collective and co-ordinated action across the whole of the food industry can we make an impact at scale. Doing so will not only help millions of families to live healthier lives. It will also boost our economy, reduce the number of people living with long-term health conditions linked to poor diet, and relieve pressure on our health services. The Government's plans to mandate food businesses to report on healthy food sales and take action to increase them are a positive step. We look forward to working with them on the details of the Healthy Food Standard and its implementation by all relevant food businesses to create a truly level playing field. We're committed to playing our part, working with the wider food industry and our health charity partners. We've shown what's possible when we work together as an industry. Through further collaboration and innovation, we can work to put healthy choices into the hands of customers, wherever they live, more of the time.
