Grenade Bar benefits
Each bar’s 20g of protein is a good amount to take care of your post-workout recovery needs and there are more than 15 flavours to choose from, including vegan options. Fortunately there’s a 12-flavour selection box if you can’t make your mind up.
These are the best supplements for lean muscle growth
The bar is low in sugar with just 1.4g and sweetened with mannitol (polyol). It contains 15g of polyols, which is relatively high, so stick to just one bar, as it can act as a laxative in higher quantities.

The salted caramel flavoured bar we tested is milk chocolate covered (some flavours have white chocolate). It’s rich tasting and chewy, though it could be too sweet for some. As you’d expect from a brand like Grenade, you certainly get an explosion for flavour. It has a pleasant mouth feel without any off-putting aftertaste like you can get with other sweetened bars.

Worth noting for professional athletes, Grenade bars are Informed Sport approved, so they’re cleared for use in elite competition.
Still going string, Grenade Protein Bars are one of the best on test with a great taste, a pleasant chewy texture and all the protein you need to get your recovery fix.
