I bought this myself at Costco for about $24 for a 12-bar box. All opinions are my own—no sponsorships or affiliate links here!
❤️ H – Health
This PBfit Protein Bar is plant-based, certified gluten-free, and non-GMO verified 🌱.
Nutrition per bar:
300 calories
10 g fat (4.5 g saturated)
28 g carbs (2 g fiber, 4 g sugar)
14 g protein (solid!)
It also provides a little calcium, a respectable amount of iron, and some potassium for electrolyte balance.
The first three ingredients: soy protein crisps (soy protein isolate + tapioca starch + sea salt), chocolate-flavored wafer, and tapioca syrup. Contains peanuts and soy, but no dairy ingredients (though oddly, not labeled dairy-free).
Health verdict: a balanced, moderate-macro bar for fueling busy days, road trips, or allergy-safe backups when restaurant menus fail you.
😋 E – Eating
The first bite? A satisfying crunch from the chocolate wafer, followed by a chewy, nougat-like peanut butter center. The texture is dense and firm—definitely holds its shape (no melted mush in your purse 👛).
Flavor: peanut buttery with a touch of chocolate, not overly sweet. If you love the classic PB + chocolate combo but want something more substantial than candy, this is it.
💵 A – Accessibility
Purchased at Costco for around $24/box of 12 = about $2/bar.
Available seasonally in-store and occasionally online. Since it’s shelf-stable, it’s perfect for travel, lunch bags, or “emergency dinner replacement” duty when you can’t find a safe restaurant meal.
📊 R – Rhythm Rating
💓 Tachycardic!
This one gets my snack heart racing. It’s a steady, filling bar that actually keeps me full for hours—no post-bar hunger crash like I get with lighter snacks. A solid pick for those managing food allergies and long workdays.
🗣️ T – Telling Others
I’ve already told my allergy-mom group and coworkers about this one. If you’re looking for a protein bar that can replace a light meal without wrecking your stomach or triggering allergies, the PBfit bar deserves a spot in your pantry.
✅ Final Thoughts
PBfit’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Bar passes my HEART Exam with flying colors.
Big, filling, flavorful, and food allergy–friendly—just keep an eye on those macros if you’re tracking calories.
💕 Until next time—live safe, happy, healthy.
