What it is made from
The base is a fats blend of peanut butter, MCTs, cocoa butter, sunflower seed butter and coconut oil powder. Chicory root fibre and soluble corn fibre provide most of the carbohydrate. The protein comes from whey protein concentrate, milk protein isolate and concentrate, peanut flour and pea crisps made from pea protein, pea starch and rice flour. The coating uses fractionated palm kernel oil, cocoa powder and inulin, and cocoa nibs add crunch. Erythritol and stevia leaf extract sweeten it.
It contains peanuts and milk, and it is made in a facility that also processes eggs, tree nuts and sesame seeds. ANS lists the range as non-GMO, gluten-free and soy-free; the lecithin is from sunflower.
How it compares
Vitasave also carries the Triple Chocolate Cake flavour by the box, with the same 40 g size, 14 g of fat and 8 g of protein. Peanut Butter Chocolate is the choice for anyone who wants a peanut cup taste. Next to a typical whey protein bar, Keto WOW has more fat, less protein and almost no sugar.
How to enjoy it
Eat one bar as a snack, with coffee, or after a meal in place of dessert. Store the box in a cool, dry place away from direct light. If a bar softens in the heat, a couple of hours in the fridge or freezer firms it up.
Who it suits
It suits people on a keto or low-carb plan who want a peanut butter and chocolate snack most days, and anyone avoiding gluten or soy. It is not for anyone allergic to peanuts or milk.
