Shoppers find 'best flavour' protein bar up to £16 cheaper than Tesco
Grenade bars are high in protein and low in sugar and unlike some others they "actually taste like chocolate"
In today's busy UK lifestyles, protein bars are a convenient, no-prep snack, ideal for food on-the-go. From post-workout recovery or a quick meal replacement, they make healthy eating easy and accessible.
Better still, protein packed snacks do not need to be boring and bland. Today's protein bars are designed to be packed with flavour and Amazon shoppers think they have found the 'best flavour yet.'
The Grenade OREO White Protein Bar has 20 grams of protein and a low sugar recipe. Amazon is currently selling this particular flavour for the low price of £1.50 per bar - making it almost half the price of single bars in Tesco where they are £2.90 a pop (or £2.20 for Club Card members).
Reduced from £30.99 to £18, fitness fans and protein lovers can save on the popular bars. Amazon shoppers can save 41% when bought in bulk, equating to a saving of £16.67 for a dozen bars from Tesco (£8.27 for Club Card members) and the same in Sainsburys.
While prices vary, Birthday Cake another popular flavour is £17.95 (£1.49 per bar), White Chocolate Cookie is £16.50 (£1.37 per bar) and Dark Chocolate Mint is also £17.95 (£1.49 per bar). With Father's Day coming up on June, 15, they could even make a great gift for dads who like to work out.
If the Grenade bars aren't quite right, My Protein has £10 off the best selling Chocolate Chip Brownies, 12 pack. With 23 grams of protein, the pocket sized snack has been called "a pure delight" and "tasty with a cuppa" by shoppers.
Elsewhere, the Protein Works Chocolate Peanut Punk Bars are reduced to £19.99 for a box of 20. Smaller than the Grenade bars with just 10 grams of protein, these treats have still managed to achieve a 4.7 out of five star rating, with many reviews saying how well they help to keep hunger at bay in between meals.
For protein lovers who would prefer to meet their daily goals in shake form, Amazon is selling the Huel Black Edition multipack with a whopping 35 grams of protein per bottle. With 16% off, a pack of 8 bottles is now on sale for £25.62.
The Grenade bars have been given a 4.4 out of five star rating by sweet-toothed Amazon shoppers. One buyer said: "I think I've repurchased this same protein bar about fifty times at this point. Quality is always consistent and considering its low sugar content it is still sweet. Great way to increase your protein intake via a snack on the go."
Another added: "Better than I expected. Good sweetness and good flavour, stops my sugar craving and helps with protein intake. Overall good product and price if brought in bulk rather than 1 at a time in the shops."
A third was impressed with the taste, saying: "Grenade's White Oreo flavour is, without a doubt, the best one I've tried. It's low carb, which is fantastic, and it doesn't have that overly processed taste that a lot of similar products tend to have."
Not all buyers were quite so impressed. One disappointed shopper left a three-star review that said: "Odd texture just a bit too chewy, flavour is okay, but I'd prefer other options and I am just eating them for the protein content at this point."
With more than 1,000 reviews for this flavour alone, the Grenade bars seem to be big hit with most buyers. A five-star review summed it up, saying: " My favourite protein bar. This flavour tops all the others in my opinion. A tasty, chewy bar with no grainy taste. I use these as an after gym snack or to support my protein intake."

It's the drink everyone's ordering this summer – these are the latest matcha launches you need to try
WE can't get enough of the green stuff right now - in fact, Caffe Nero stores sell 19 cups of matcha a minute, and Google searches for "matcha near me" have sky-rocketed by over 5000% in the past year! Once the preserve of the wellness world and "clean girls", matcha has made it into the mainstream, thanks to a slew of celebs getting their daily fix, social media feeds filling up with picture-perfect matcha lattes - and, of course, the much-talked-about health benefits from the high level of antioxidants. From Black Sheep to Caffe Nero, the high street's matcha game is on point, with a flavour combo for everyone. Strawberry and vanilla is the perfect drink to watch the tennis at Wimbledon with, while a new peaches and cream twist is a game-changer. 6 But the RTD supermarket options are rapidly expanding, too, and you can now make your matcha iced lattes at home with a few key ingredients. So, if you can't be bothered to wait in the queue every time the green craving hits, we have just the thing... 6 Grab and go First up, taking to the shelves recently in Sainsbury's are Oat Shaker's gut-friendly oat and fruit shakes - including a Matcha & Pineapple flavour. A tropical twist on the classic, this 100% natural drink is packed with nutrients and fibre and costs only £4 for a 750ml bottle (three servings). Ueshima Coffee Company's Iced Matcha Lattes are also back for summer in a slick on-point can design. Less than 90 cals and low in sugar, these are great for picnics and festivals at £3 a can, just hitting the shelves of a Waitrose near you. Also new out, Califia Farms Matcha Almond Latte is an eye-popping splash of green on the shelves of Sainsbury's at £2.95 for 750ml - just shake and pour over ice, no whisking required. 6 Join the queue In a new flavour that really grabbed our attention, Leon is smashing summer with its Watermelon Matcha Iced Tea - sweet watermelon green tea topped with matcha and served over ice. Yum! Black Sheep Coffee is clear that it's on a mission to make matcha inclusive, with drinks for everyone from "clean girls" to hairy biker guys and city workers - and we're here for it! Matcha-spiked lemonade is a new offering from Black Sheep and is set to become a cult fave, available in lychee, lavender, passionfruit and peach flavourways, and made with Japanese ceremonial-grade matcha and still lemonade as the ultimate refresher. The Black Sheep Peaches & Cream Matcha Latte is one for the creamy quaffers and tastes just like summer should - best paired with the cafe's Norwegian Matcha Waffles, made with all-new matcha dough and smothered in Nutella and fresh fruit. 6 Caffe Nero just added its first-ever matcha drinks to the menu - Vanilla Iced Matcha Latte and Strawberry & Vanilla Iced Matcha Latte - and fans have gone crazy for them. Made with PerfectTed matcha and available hot or iced, the peeps at Nero reckon the rise in matcha love is because: "People are choosing drinks that align with a lifestyle focused on wellness, mindfulness and everyday rituals." 6 Get in the kitchen If you're looking to save some £££s, but can't quite quit your matcha habit, Monin is coming to the rescue with a range of new concentrates - simply add 25ml to a glass of ice and milk for a delish DIY drink. Choose a straight Matcha Green Tea Concentrate or the Blueberry Matcha Green Tea version for a fiver a bottle in Tesco - delivering a budget-friendly 10 shots of matcha! And if you're really looking to elevate the at-home experience, check out this latest, first-of-its-kind launch. Bird & Blend Tea Co Matcha Latte Magic Whisk, £99, enables matcha fans to achieve a perfectly silky smooth latte at the press of a button. Who needs a barista when this little gadget will pay for itself if you're a regular cafe queen, plus it will show everyone how serious you are about getting your caffeine fix.
