5% Nutrition has dabbled in the functional food space on numerous occasions throughout the years, and here in the middle of 2024, it is getting back into the category with the Real Meal Protein Bar. The product carries the approach the brand has been known for since its original hit food-based supplement Real Food. Real Meal is, indeed, based entirely around real food ingredients, all coming together to provide a clean and balanced nutrition profile.
For the Real Meal Protein Bar, 5% Nutrition has combined a rather large array of protein sources to provide 16g per bar, including egg white, collagen, almond protein, rice protein, and pea protein. The product is also sweetened with honey, and for extra flavor, it has chocolate chips throughout the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip flavor, and in Birthday Cake, you get colorful rainbow sprinkles.
The macros on 5% Nutrition’s Real Meal Protein Bar, again, start with a respectable 16g of protein, then you get 21 to 25g of carbohydrates, 11 to 12g of that is sugar and 3 to 4g of fiber, 11 to 14g of fat, and the calories fall between 230 to 260. The heavier, more calorie-dense snack of the two is, of course, the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, packing 25g of carbohydrates, 14g of fat, and 260 calories, and Birthday Cake is the one with 12% fewer calories.
5% Nutrition’s all-new Real Meal Protein Bar is available directly through its online store, and it makes it very easy to try for those who are more cautious when it comes to their protein snacks. The innovation can be purchased individually at $3.99, which is a great option to just grab a single unit to try it out. You can also get a box of ten bars at a slightly cheaper $3.69 a piece or $36.99 all up. If you get in before the end of today, you can drop both of those prices by a fair amount as the brand is running its Anti-Prime Day sale with up to 35% off.
