So.....Holland & Barrett have their Penny Sale on, and there is a voucher for 15% off and FREE STANDARD delivery (and this includes items in Penny Sale!)
Voucher: 15FREEDEL (credit to Jarvis25 & MSE for this code)
The link is for the 9 bars, as I have ordered 28 for £11 delivered (great as a protein / snack bar after gym or at work)
Possible 10% Quidco also (worth a try!)
Lots more on the site....but that was my pick :)

agreed, but I would rather have fat in my snacks from healthier mono / poly sources (they are the main % in these bars); fat content helps slow down gastric emptying, and lowers the glycaemic index of the bar......so less of a "insulin spike" compared to your typical granola bar.

7.5g of sugar, the remaining carbs are probably in the form of starches. Considering a supposedly healthy yoghurt has @ 15g of sugar per small pot. Put yoghurt on the label and like sheep people assume it is going to be healthy. The fats here are healthy fats, vital to a healthy metabolism.

agree MBCH, you need fat just as much as protein. better having this to curb a sweet craving than a snickers!

Ok, I see your point......but compared to a commercial granola bar (typical protein 1-2 grams), this has a relatively high protein quantity...
also, in terms of fats.....I would argue that the fat sources are largely from the nuts / flax / pumpkin seeds that are in most of the bars (so largely mono and poly-unsaturated)
Not a pure "protein bar", and yes potentially the fat would slow digestion (and hence passage of protein to the muscles post-workout) but a great snack compared to most bars out there.

Thanks for bringing the code to my attention.
I just ordered a few 'Faith in Nature' products which are currently on offer (25%off) :smile:

Might want to change your title - they're not protien bars!
20g of fat and 9g of protein per bar make them pretty much the worst thing you could eat after the gym :confused:
It's an energy bar at best

Hot. They to be of similar price per bar on 4-bar packs offers in Sainsburys. But not seen them on offer for at least 6 months now - since they changed the packaging.

Everyone has said about the fat content but not about the sugar content, one fifth sugar! Sorry OP it's a good deal for those who want to buy them, but for me the sugar content of these bars is enough for me to swerve them.

I agree the sugar is not optimal, and my consumption of these is mainly after my sports / gym training.....to stop me reaching for a cadburys creme egg when hunger strikes!

All of them are vegan too (other than the organic one) for anyone wondering

4 pack at tescos 2.29 not much of a saving
adsham to JasonThomas2014

It's a reasonable saving 42.5p a bar vs 57.25p = 14.75p a bar (without taking in to consideration cashback - 12.6% TCB & free delivery). Which in the OPs case is a saving over over £4

Again....much better than your typical granola style bar (typically 2g approx protein!)
