The Smart Bar is their flagship snack: it earned a following because it tastes like a chocolate bar while carrying the protein of a shake and keeping added sugar very low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we carry it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have curated Top Nutrition \u0026amp; Fitness by taste since 2016, and the Smart Bar is one of the few high-protein bars that we think genuinely eats like a treat rather than a supplement. The caramel layer and crispy inclusions give it real texture, and at under 2.1 g of sugar it is an easy swap for a candy bar when a craving hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavours\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoc Peanut Butter, White Choc Blondie, Cookies \u0026amp; Cream, Salted Caramel, Dark Chocolate Raspberry, Salted Fudge Brownie, Birthday Cake and Mississippi Tough Mudder Pie (availability varies).

Honest caveat: the sugar alcohol here is \u003cstrong\u003emaltitol\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is mildly glycemic (not zero-impact like erythritol or allulose), so enjoy it as a keto-friendly, low-net-carb bar rather than a truly zero-carb one.
