Product Information

However, regular consumption of artificial sweeteners has been linked to changes in the gut microbiome and they are something I advise my clients to actively avoid. DISCLAIMER: Features published by SheerLuxe are not intended to treat, diagnose, cure or prevent any disease. And unlike most chocolate cereal out there, there is no chocolate runoff from this cereal, so you are not left with chocolate milk to drink at the end. Each protein bar has just under 200 calories with 15 or 16g of protein, and most flavors contain just 1 gram of sugar (cookies and cream is the exception with 3 grams of sugar).

My daughter loves all the flavours and they’re is a superb, delicious, protein packed snack, to help support through a day full of dance, at Uni. Last year a friend gave me a box because she hated them, I tried one and they immediately went in the bin. The combination of dark chocolate, crunchy interior, and chewy caramel, makes this taste very similar to an actual brownie. As you can see by the photo above, I’m not convinced that there is any actual cookie butter OR speculoos cookies in this protein bar. All of our bars are naturally sweetened with Steviol Glycosides, a natural plant-based sweetener derived from the sweet leaf of the Stevia plant.Sarah Henderson, nutritional therapist, also points out that the frosted version contains sucralose. Bonus points if you can find a cereal that contains lots of nuts and seeds, which add additional protein and fats to create a more balanced meal. The protein here comes from pea protein and chickpea flour, plus it has a blend of fibre added in with pea and chicory, which will support gut health and bowel function. What can I say, misfits have really set the boundaries high for a vegan protein bar that provides 15g of protein and still taste epic like a ‘standard’ chocolate bar. It’s on the lower side of protein at around 6g per bowl, but this is still a good amount to keep you full.

Made with just nuts, seeds, natural flavouring like vanilla extract and either coconut oil or butter, these clean, low-carb and high-fat granolas get the nutritionists’ vote. Since it has a white chocolate coating instead of dark chocolate, it’s much harder to mask the flavor of the pea protein, so it definitely comes through. I have to assume that the “offee” in this protein bar is supposed to be toffee, but it’s pretty irrelevant because the only thing you can taste is banana. To their credit, these bars are different than most others on the market, especially in the plant-based space.Considering these are plant-powered bars, I knew that I needed to adjust my expectations going into this review. Unfortunately, my excitement immediately disappeared when I took my first bite of this Misfits protein bar. The texture is awesome, and the big cookie pieces on top are a great addition, but that flavor is just too strong for me to really enjoy it.

We use a small amount of xylitol in our vegan milk and dark chocolate coatings in place of regular sugar, this allows us to maintain a low sugar content and also provides less calories than sugar.

The protein here comes from soya and pea protein – good-quality sources – and natural sweeteners such as stevia and erythritol are nutritionally sound, too.While that’s a typical serving size for cereal, since this one is so dense and compact, that 40g equates to very little volume. It seems like I’ve had nothing but negative things to say about these bars (hey, it’s my job to be honest around here) but Misfits knocked it out of the part with this one. The granolas are also made with maple honey, which is lower in FODMAPs than honey – a good option for those with IBS.

There is no earthy flavor or aftertaste that would have you thinking the Misfits Protein Cereal is vegan-friendly. Sucralose isn’t good for the gut – it can negatively impact the microbiome and in some people, can cause diarrhoea. The cereal is sweetened with stevia, a natural sweetener, and contains rosemary extract, which is an antioxidant and keeps the product fresher for longer. Generally speaking, plant-based protein bars don’t taste quite as good as their dairy-based counterparts.Consider using it as a sprinkle on yoghurt rather than eating a whole bowl if you’re watching your fat intake. If you eat a plant-based diet, I do think these Misfits protein bars are worth trying, especially if you don’t mind those “Earthy” flavors that plant-based protein tends to have. This chocolate caramel bar had me excited that there would be a pleasing caramel layer in this one, but it turns out that it actually had the least amount of caramel of any of the bars I tried.
