Protein bar review/comparison - Sportyfeel, Goodlife, Gainer pro bar

Philosphy of use
Proteinbars are basically a candybar with as much candy as possible replaced with protien, hopefully whey. It's a balance between bad taste and just being a candybar. It fills you up much more than a candybar, and gives you the most important nutrient, protein. It's a quick, decent to good tasting shelf stable meal.

Stats & ingridients

Here are the stats. They tell you at least some of the story. The sportyfeel bars fluctuate in price, so their stats are a bit inconsistent. Other than the size of the bars, the main difference is that the sportyfeel bar has a higher protein percentage and lower calories. Generally a good thing. The price of sportyfeel is also lower (sometimes). The catch? The third ingredient of the sportyfeel bar is "hydrolyzed collagen". That's fancy speak for boiled animal residue. It's high in protein, but that protein is very hard for the body to take up. Making at least some of the bars protein "empty", and to some, gross...

Taste
Protein bars tend to have a "Protein powder" taste. This is pretty strong in the sportyfeel bar. The bar also tastes sweet and of it's "designated" taste, cinnamon and apple or Strawberry white chocolate. The taste is clearly artificial and not very rich. The small bar is easy to get down thanks to it's size.

The Gainer Pro bar also has quite a lot of this "protein powder" taste, less than sportyfeel though. It tastes sweet and a rather weak taste of chocolate. The large bar is very filling and a bit hard to get down for me to be honest - there's simply so much.

The goodlife bar tastes better in my opinion. There's less of that protien taste. Some of the flavors are also less dry. The "mint temptation" flavor is rather lame, but still better than the other bars. The "Salty licorice" isn't very satly but still good, it has strong flavor. All the goodlife bars I have tasted are significantly better tasting then the other two brands.

All of the bars had inconsistencies in their texture. I'm not sure if it was intentional in the Gainer pro bar. There seemed to be rice puffs in the goodlife bars, and the sportyfeel bars had very small pieces of fruit.

Conclussion:
The sportyfeel bar can seemingly only be bought at LIDL. That is fine, but I wouldn't recommend this bar. Goodlife and Gainer Pro Bar can be gotten from several online resellers, but I got mine from gymgrossisten.com. In the end, I would recommend the goodlife bars out of these three.
