Overall, Base bars have a score of 25 out of 30 when you add up the 3 sections. How Do PROBAR Base Bars Stack Up Against Competition? On my scale from 1 to 10, Base bars come in at a 8 for price, so they are relatively cheap compared to other plant-based bars. And since these bars have a solid 20 grams of protein, they score fairly high.
That’s right about average when you look at the prices on a per bar basis.īut when I calculate a score for price, I look at cost per 10 grams of protein. The price will change a bit over time of course, but for now if you buy a box it’ll work out to about $2.8 per bar, depending on where you buy it. I went with the peanut butter chocolate flavor, but there are many other flavors.
That’s why it scored a perfect 10 for taste. The flavor and sweetness are both great, and I can’t think of any obvious way to improve it. Overall, it has a nice solid crunch and good amount of chewiness. The bar itself looks like a standard chocolate-covered bar:īreaking it apart reveals that there are a few different layers to the bar:Īside from the chocolate coating, there’s a top solid layer, and then a crunchy layer which is a mix of chocolate chunks and some sort of peanut or starch crisp. I’ve already told you it tasted great, but I think it will help to put some pictures behind the description.

Personally, I avoid palm oil as much as possible (see why many vegans don’t eat palm oil), so that would rule out this bar for me, but make your own call. There is a ton of sugar in these bars coming from multiple sources (tapioca syrup, agave syrup, cane syrup), it certainly isn’t a healthy bar.Īlso note that the glycerine is vegan (derived from plants), and also that there is palm oil in these bars. Soy Protein Isolate, Organic Tapioca Syrup, Ground Peanuts, Organic Agave Syrup, Organic Dried Cane Syrup, Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil, Glycerine, Organic Agave Inulin, Partially Defatted Peanut Flour, Omega Blend (Flaxseed, Chia Seed), Cocoa, Tapioca Starch, Organic Soy Protein Isolate, Natural Flavor, Salt, Soy Lecithin, Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Unsweetened Chocolate, Rosemary Extract. The ingredients are mostly organic, here’s the full list:
That’s not horrible for a vegan protein bar, but it’s not great either. So while the raw protein content is good, only about 28% of calories come from protein. That sounds great, but there’s also 290 calories, and 15 grams of sugar. There’s 20 grams of protein in a single bar.
