Power Crunch Protein Bar (1 bar)

About Power Crunch

Power Crunch is made by BNRG (Bionutritional Research Group) and has been a cult favourite among lifters for decades. What sets it apart is the format: instead of a dense, chewy protein bar, Power Crunch is a crispy wafer with light layers of flavoured cream — it eats more like a chocolate-bar treat than a "health food" bar. The protein comes from Proto Whey®, a high-DH (high degree-of-hydrolysis) hydrolyzed whey blend rich in di- and tripeptides, rounded out with whey protein isolate and milk protein isolate.

Why we carry it

Owner-tested in Montreal, Power Crunch fills the "I want a treat, not a brick" slot. The wafer texture is genuinely light and crispy — a real change of pace from the soft, dense bars that dominate the category. With 13–14 g of protein and low sugar per 40 g bar, it is an easy grab for anyone who wants protein in a dessert-like, snackable format. We stock the full incoming flavour line so you can mix and match.

Flavours

• Triple Chocolate: Layered chocolate cream in a crisp wafer — the flagship, deep cocoa flavour.
• Chocolate Mint: Cool mint cream against dark-cocoa wafer — like a thin-mint cookie.
• Peanut Butter Fudge: Real peanut butter and fudge cream — rich, salty-sweet, the cult favourite.
• Cookies & Cream: Vanilla cream with cookie notes in a light wafer — dessert in a bar.
• Salted Caramel: Buttery caramel cream with a pinch of salt — sweet with a savoury edge.
• French Vanilla Crème: Smooth vanilla cream in a golden wafer — the lightest, most classic flavour.
• Peanut Butter Crème: Creamy peanut-butter filling, less fudgy than PB Fudge — smooth and nutty.
• Red Velvet: Cocoa-and-cream-cheese inspired wafer — a dessert-style red velvet take.
• Lemon Meringue: Bright, tangy lemon cream in a crisp wafer — the zesty outlier.
• S'mores: Toasted-marshmallow and chocolate cream over graham-style wafer.
• Strawberry Crème: Sweet strawberry cream in a light wafer — fruity and dessert-like.

Per-flavour nutrition (per 40 g bar)

Triple Chocolate and Peanut Butter Fudge figures are from the on-pack Canadian panels. Other flavours are from BNRG / powercrunch.com and retailer panels and may vary by a few units between production runs — always check the on-pack label, especially for allergens.

Ingredients & allergens

Every flavour is built on the Proto Whey® Protein Blend — micro-peptides from high-DH hydrolyzed whey protein (about 40% di/tripeptides), whey protein isolate and milk protein isolate — layered with flavoured cream inside an enriched wheat-flour wafer. Typical other ingredients include modified palm oil, palm kernel oil, sugar, fructose, cocoa, maltodextrin, natural flavours, soy lecithin, salt, stevia leaf extract and leavening (baking soda, ammonium bicarbonate).

Peanut Butter Fudge ingredients (representative full list): Proto Whey Protein Blend (micro peptides from high-DH hydrolyzed whey protein [40% di/tripeptides], whey protein isolate, milk protein isolate), peanut butter (peanuts, modified palm oil, salt), modified palm oil, enriched wheat flour (contains barley), palm kernel oil, sugar, fructose, cocoa, maltodextrin, natural flavours, soy lecithin, salt, stevia leaf extract, baking soda, ammonium bicarbonate.

Allergens: Every flavour contains milk, wheat and soy. Most flavours also contain barley (from the enriched wheat-flour wafer). Peanut-butter flavours contain peanuts; the rest are made on equipment that also processes peanuts. Because they contain wheat and barley, Power Crunch bars are not gluten-free. Always confirm the on-pack panel for the exact flavour you receive.

How it compares

Power Crunch is the lightest of the three — a small, crispy wafer bar rather than a big soft bar. It carries a little more sugar than Barebells or Grenade but trades that for its signature airy, dessert-like crunch and a hydrolyzed-whey protein base. Choose Power Crunch when you want a wafer treat; choose Barebells or Grenade when you want maximum protein in a denser, near-zero-sugar bar. (Comparison macros are approximate and vary by flavour.)

Pairs well with

• Protein bars — mix Power Crunch flavours and other brands.
• Whey protein isolate — add a shake on training days.
• Low-sugar candies & chocolates — more treat-style options.

Great alternative to

If you are tired of soft, dense protein bars, Power Crunch is the wafer-textured change of pace. It is also a sensible swap for a sugary wafer or chocolate bar when you want real protein with modest sugar and no sugar alcohols.

C'est une barre protéinée gaufrette croustillante (la « Protein Energy Bar » de BNRG), bâtie sur la protéine Proto Whey® (lactosérum hydrolysé à haut DH), avec de fines couches de crème plutôt qu'une texture dense. Chaque barre de 40 g fournit environ 13–14 g de protéines et seulement 5–8 g de sucre, sans alcools de sucre. Cette page correspond à une barre à l'unité ; choisissez la saveur dans le menu.
