Product Review: @DavidProtein Bar
I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz around these bars on social media—first came across them on @peterattiamd’s IG, and then I got several DMs asking for my take. Luckily, the brand themselves reached out to me and sent me a pack with four flavors: Cake Batter, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Double Fudge Brownie, and Blueberry Pie.
Here are the macros: 150 calories and 28g of protein.
For comparison, @builtbar has 130 calories and 17g of protein, while @questnutrition bars sit at 200 calories with 20g of protein. David Protein stands out in terms of protein content, but it only has 2g of fiber, which is lower than the others. Part of the reason this bar has such a high protein to calorie ratio is because it is lacking in fiber.
The protein sources are protein isolate and collagen—I don’t love the use of collagen, because it doesn’t promote muscle protein synthesis.
As for taste? It’s slightly better than a @simplyprotein bar. If you enjoy Simply Protein bars, then you will probably like these bars – but me personally, I can’t stand the taste of Simply Protein bars and wasn’t into the taste of David.
Due to 3 major factors:
1️⃣ Collagen
2️⃣ Lack of fiber
3️⃣ Taste
I wouldn’t buy this protein bar.
My top pick is Built but some people don’t like the chewy texture. The protein bar that most people love is Barebell. The Quest bar is another great option but for many people the texture being stiff.
