Fulfil Vitamin and Protein Bar (15 x 40 g Bars) — Chocolate Salted Caramel Flavour — 15 g High Protein, 9 Vitamins, Low Sugar

Product Information

It’s one of the higher calorie bars at 217kcal, but for this you get 9.3g fat, 15g carbs, just 1.5g sugar, and 20g protein. As in the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavour, collagen hydrolysate features on the ingredients list, but as with all Fulfil’s bars you are getting 30% of your vitamin RDA. It’s fair to say Fulfil has been hit and miss on its peanut flavours so far. I wasn’t thrilled by the Peanut & Caramel bar but I did love the chocolate Peanut Butter, so this could really go either way. The macros are good – 208 kcal, 9.3g fat, 8.2g carbs, 1.9g sugar, 20g protein – but the protein does come from soy which might cause alarm among the whey puritans out there. But then again the reason I would swerve this bar isn’t because soy protein is the first ingredient…

The macros for each flavour varies slightly, ranging between 180-220 calories, 15-20g carbs and 8-10g fat, but all have at least 20g protein and under 3g sugar. This bar weighs in at 60g, 5g more than Fulfil’s standard 55g, explained by the more dense and chewy core. The macros are still stellar with 207 kcal, 8.4g fat, 11.7g carbs, 2.1g sugar, and 20.6g protein. There’s also a hefty 11.2g fibre in there and the protein comes from milk.This bar looks incredible. I love that Fulfil have replaced crispies with hazelnut pieces, much like the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavour. There’s a wonderful smell of hazelnut, inside it’s the classic three-layer bar we’ve come to know and love. Whilst all this is laudable, it has to taste good too – otherwise you may as well pop some vitamins and be done with it. On the whole I’m pretty impressed by Fulfil, especially the Chocolate Salted Caramel and Lemon Zinger flavours. If you told me this was a regular chocolate bar I’d have no problems believing you. I definitely prefer it to Grenade’s Peanut Nutter. Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel – 6/10

Jaffa Cakes, Terry’s Chocolate Orange, Lindt Orange Intense, Grenade Jaffa Quake – anything chocolate orange is good stuff to me, and this is no exception.Irish brand ‘Fulfil’ have set out to change this, offering a protein bar with added vitamins that’s high in fibre and low in calories. Each bar has 9 added vitamins, including Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Thiamine and Folic Acid. This is one of my favourite protein bars out there – it makes Grenade’s ‘Caramel Chaos’ look like a chunk of cardboard in comparison. I can’t recommend highly enough. The macros are nothing to complain about – 195 kcal, 7.3g fat, 11.1g carbs, 21.2g protein – and the protein comes from whey, but there are much better flavours out there. Chocolate Orange 9/10.

I had never really thought about pairing lemon with white chocolate, but it works so well – creamy, sweet and slightly tart at the same time. The lemon flavour is authentic, and the addition of lemon chunks (peel maybe?) is really going above and beyond. In search of some redeeming factor I even dissected the bar, trying each layer individually. The cream alone tastes off and I think we’ve found the culprit of the ‘protein aftertaste’. The crunches have little real taste and only really offer a stale crunch, like a rice crispy cake that’s been left out a little too long. I’ve said it a million times BUT I LOVE white chocolate and, since trying the White Chocolate and Cookie Dough flavour, I know Fulfil do a good white chocolate. In an ideal world, protein bars would taste good and do good. That being said, a lot of great-tasing protein bars are laden with sugar, and mysterious ingredients, offering little else than 20g of protein.All the elements work really well together here and the bar feels like real treat. Easily one of Fulfil’s best flavours. Chocolate Peanut Butter 9.5/10. The macros are solid – 210 kcal, 9.7g fat, 15g carbs, 1.9g sugar, 20g protein – and, even though the added ‘palm fat’ might be an issue for some, you are getting 100% of your vitamin RDA. Once again Fulfil have smashed it with this one. All in all a great bar, especially if you’re a woosie not a fan of dark chocolate. Chocolate Caramel & Cookie Dough My hopes were dashed, but I wasn’t mad about it. Unlike some of Fulfil’s later bars, the coconut chocolate flavour is simply a nougat-like centre coated in milk chocolate – no fancy crispies or caramel layer. Fulfil have tried to achieve an irresistible blend of sweet and salty but, in reality, the dark chocolate isn’t sweet enough to balance the saltiness of the base.
