Kirkland Chocolate Brownie Protein Bar

by Kirkland Signature

A decent protein bar option with 21g protein and relatively clean ingredients compared to many competitors. Contains some processed ingredients and seed oils but avoids artificial sweeteners and excessive additives that plague most protein bars.

• Whey protein isolate – beneficial · High-quality complete protein source with excellent amino acid profile for muscle building and recovery.
• Soluble corn fiber – safe · Prebiotic fiber that adds bulk and sweetness while supporting digestive health.
• Almonds – beneficial · Whole food ingredient providing healthy fats, protein, and micronutrients.
• Erythritol – safe · Sugar alcohol that provides sweetness with minimal impact on blood sugar and fewer digestive issues than other sugar alcohols.
• Sunflower oil – controversial · High in omega-6 fatty acids which can contribute to inflammation when consumed in excess.
• Natural flavors – safe · Generally safe flavoring compounds though specific ingredients are proprietary.
