Product Review: Bulletproof® Collagen Bars

It was only a matter of time that the folks at Bulletproof Coffee would come out with a Bulletproof inspired bar, since the popularity of the buttered coffee has risen explosively in 2015.



The Bulletproof® Collagen Bar

The bars come in 2 flavors:

• Chocolate
• Vanilla

We tried the Chocolate flavor (since we're chocoholics and we're not afraid to admit it)

Ingredients & Consistency

Firstly. let's have a look at the ingredients.

• Organic cashew butter - clearly, the base of the bar.
• Upgraded collagen protein - source of protein
• chicory root fiber - added fiber
• Bulletproof XCT Oil powder - source of good fats
• Organic cashews
• Bulletproof Upgraded Chocolate Powder
• Bulletproof Brain Octane
• Organic coconut oil
• sea salt
• stevia

The bar contains pretty much all the ingredients that you would use for a Bulletproof Coffee, with the added ingredients to turn it into a bar. 

However, the consistency of the bar is somewhat off. There were remarks posted about having trouble in higher temperatures, and we can understand why.

The bar is very crumbly, resembling a "sand cookie" type consistency. 

It falls apart really easily, making this a little bit impractical if you are somewhere on the go, which sort of ruins the whole idea of this bar.

As you can see, it breaks apart really easily

Taste

The bar tastes OK, it dissolves a bit when you take a bite and is not too sweet. It is definitely very different than the average protein bar (albeit that this bar isn't marketed as a protein bar)

It's filling and satisfying though and keeps you going for a few hours. 

The verdict

If you are a follower of the Bulletproof Diet, this bar is a perfect addition to your snack option.

But if you are looking for a protein bar that can handle a bit of carrying around in your bag, this might not be the best choice.

Would we buy again? Probably not, but if you are interested, have a look at www.bulletproof.com
