Chocolate Mint Builder's Protein Bar, 2.4 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this in the protein/energy bar aisle, at the gym counter, or tossed in a backpack for a quick snack between activities. It reads as a sporty, slightly indulgent treat—marketed for performance but tasting like a chewy chocolate‑mint candy bar. The long list of protein isolates, syrups, refined oils and 'natural flavors' points to heavy industrial processing that creates a uniform texture, long shelf life, and engineered nutrient profile.

Common Questions about Chocolate Mint Builder's Protein Bar, 2.4 OZ
Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? This bar packs a punch with 20 grams of protein, making it a solid option for a post-workout snack or a midday pick-me-up. However, it does have 17 grams of sugar, so if you're watching your sugar intake, you might want to think twice or enjoy it in moderation.
