Low-carb protein bars are a minefield for keto dieters, because many people on the diet think that just being low in net carbs is good enough. Any bar that markets itself as low-carb is almost certainly a poor choice for keto. Yet, Amazon searches for “keto bar” return many such bars. This is definitely a problem.

Pure Protein is a perfect example of a horrible bar that somehow sells well on Amazon, presumably because some like the taste (and may not realize they’re unhealthy). I normally taste test all bars that I review, but in the case of Pure Protein I couldn’t bring myself to put it in my body.

 

Seeing as it looks like a candy bar and contains copious amounts of maltitol and sucralose, I can’t say that I am surprised junk food lovers like the taste.

It’s hard to imagine anything worse than a Quest Bar, but Pure Protein manages. It has less fiber and fat, and even more artificial ingredients. Hankering for a healthier option yet? Eat your way to better health with Human Food Bar.

The takeaway
Pure Protein Bars is a quintessential Fake Food bar that does not hold back on harmful ingredients such as Carnuba Wax, which I use to wax my car. If your health is a priority, avoid this bar.

If you found my article helpful, I hope you'll take a look at Human Food Bar, which I created after testing over 100 bars.

The bar's unique formulation can help you cut cravings, lose weight, sleep better, have more energy, regulate digestion, and more. It does this by balancing your gut biome.
