Why did we create the POWRBAR?
Because nothing else met our clients requirements...
Why did we create the POWRBAR?
JUST PROTEIN? NAH...
AND THUS WAS BORN A BAR WITH...
What Goes In A POWRBAR (and what does not)...
Our bars contain two high-quality forms of protein: whey concentrate and whey isolate.
Why the mixture as opposed to a single type of protein?
Whey has the highest PDCAAS score, highest bio-availibility and of course, for softness and stability.
All-natural food products are notoriously finicky, and after many recipe tweaks, we hit on the perfect balance of top-shelf protein powders for supporting muscle growth while also optimising freshness, texture, and shelf life.
Prebiotic fibre is a partially indigestible fibre found in foods like onions, bananas, and beans that encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Research shows that regular ingestion of just 5-8gm of prebiotic fibre...
- 1Reduces the growth of disease-causing bacteria in the gut.
- 2Lowers “bad” cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease.
- 3Decreases the risk of high blood sugar and type ll diabetes.
- 4Prevents constipation and cramping
- 5Decreases appetite and aids in weight loss.
- 6Increases calcium and magnesium absorption and bone mineral density.
Moreover, studies also show that many people don’t get enough prebiotic fibre in their diets, which can raise the risk of various types of disease, including heart disease, cancer, type ll diabetes, and osteoporosis (weak bones).
Every POWRBAR contains 12gm of prebiotic fibre in the form of chicory root fibre.
Chicory root fibre is a form of prebiotic fibre found in chicory, a plant related to dandelions. We included it in our protein bars because it’s an excellent source of antioxidants and has a pleasant, nutty taste, and of course, 'holds' the bar together really well! :)
The POWRBARS contain extremely healthy fats from natural roasted cashews nuts, and real cocoa butter.
We do not use any chocolate compounds because they contain hydrogenated fats instead of cocoa butter. The only reason most other brands use compounds is because, well, it's less than 1/4th of the cost of cocoa butter. :/
The carb source in our bars is mostly from natural dates, one of the best sources of energy, minerals, and of course a bit of sugar to really, well, sweeten the deal.
While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.
That’s why we use the natural sweeteners stevia instead. Studies show that Stevia is not only safe but can also confer several health benefits, including better insulin sensitivity, enhanced cholesterol profile, lower inflammation levels, and more.
While soy is not as bad as you might think, it is not 'soluble' like whey protein, and this makes the protein bars gritty and powdery. Hence, that's the main reason there's no soy in our bars.
As for hydrogenated fats from chocolate compounds in other bars, there's no question, they are very bad for you, period. So => none in the POWRBARs.
Finally, sugar alcohols like Erythritol, Maltitol are not bad per se, but they often gastric discomfort (bloating, pain, uneasiness) and might trigger diarrhea in some people. So again, none of them in the POWRBARs!
The proof is in the pudding bar!

* All comparison data above is taken on an as-is basis from the other brands official websites. Though all bars here promote healthy eating, and none of them is our "enemy", the only point of this comparison is to show you that apart from our POWRBAR, all others are just snacks, with calorie counts all over the place. So the reason we created the POWRBAR in the first place was to give you a protein bar that can replace your meal, has precise calories, and is a food that's so safe that even our founders kids take it to school!
IN SHORT, THE POWRBAR IS A MEAL REPLACEMENT BAR WITH A SPECIFIC PURPOSE
Is the POWRBAR filled with "ayurvedic doodie-baba-thingies" and caffeine and what not?
NO.
But will it support your workout, health, recovery AND weight loss? A resounding yes!
So order now, try the POWRBARs and see for yourself why we believe they're the perfect, tastiest all-natural high-protein meal replacement bars!
Frequently Asked Questions
Depends on the pack you buy.
Minimum is 6 (weekly supply except Sundays), maximum is 24 (one month's supply except Sundays).
Classic Chocolate: contains 350 calories, 25gm of protein, 38gm of carbohydrate, 12gm of fiber, and 18gm of fat.
Cookie Crumble: contains 350 calories, 25gm of protein, 39gm of carbohydrate, 12gm of fiber, and 18gm of fat.
Because while most types of carbohydrate contains about 4 calories per gram, carbs from fibre contain less.
Specifically, high purity insoluble fibre like the one we use contains less than 2 calories/gram.
Thus, to convert the POWRBAR's macros to calories, you need to differentiate between the grams of carbohydrate that contain 4 calories and those that contain less.
To be honest, the POWRBAR has no competitors!
No, we're not boasting. We mean it, there is no declared meal replacement bar in the market today.
The FSSAI requires that foods that call themselves "meal replacements" satisfy certain requirements, and none of the current ones on the market do that.
Apart from that, taste and palatability wise, we'll not be narcissistic and say "we are the best," we'll humbly say that we are on par with other clean-label protein bars WITH the added benefit of the extra protein and fibre, at the same price!
You can certainly find cheaper protein bars, but what are you getting for your money?
In many cases, you’re getting bars that...
- 1Contain low-quality forms of protein and harmful cocoa replacements, like soy protein and "chocolate compounds," which contain hydrogenated fats instead of real cocoa butter. Why? Because compounds are crazy cheap!
- 2Contain a number of other hidden and undesirable ingredients, like maltodextrin, artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, and other chemical junk.
- 3Taste mediocre at best, and often much worse.
Our protein bars are different.
They contain 25gm of a blend of two of the highest-quality types of protein you can buy: whey concentrate and whey isolate.
What this means is that every gram of protein in every POWRBAR you eat can be efficiently and effectively used by your body to build muscle, recover from workouts, and support health and weight loss.
They also contain 12gm of prebiotic fibre, which supports your overall health and well-being in a number of ways.
Additionally, our protein bars are naturally sweetened and flavoured with stevia and contain absolutely no fillers or artificial sweeteners, flavours, dyes, or other chemical junk.
That doesn’t mean we skimped on the taste, either.
We worked on the bars for nearly 3 years after COVID to ensure that every bite of our bars is savoury, moist, and pleasantly chewable. Our goal was to create a bar that tastes like high-protein chocolate, and many of our customers say we’ve done just that!
Normally no. But for some people, it could, and even if it did, it would not be in a “bad” way.
Your blood sugar levels will rise after eating one of our bars, but the increase will be relatively small and sustained, meaning there won’t be a crash or other negative aftereffects.
NOTE: The POWRBARs are not meant for diabetics. If you have sugar issues, please try to eat half a bar at a time and check for spikes. Usually, it shouldn't cause much, then eat a full bar next time and check, and so on...
No.
Our bars contain whey concentrate, which contains lactose.
The cookie crumble flavour contains a bit of milk solids, which also contains lactose.
As for gluten content, yes, our bars are technicaly gluten-free. However, do note that they are manufactured in a facility that does process wheat products, so yes, there might be traces of gluten.
No.
Our bars weren’t designed to be keto-friendly, as they’re intended for people who don't follow any particular style of dieting.
Vegetarian = yes. 100%. None of the ingredients are derived from meat.
Vegan = no. There's whey protein in the bars, which is derived from cow milk, so the bars are not vegan.
