Pandy Protein : Pandy Chocolate Bar Protein Bar

Pandy is a well-known Swedish brand famous for their high protein sweet selection that has become very popular within the EU.  While we have seen protein based sweets before, Pandy was the first brand to deliver a protein sweet that actually tasted like confectionery. They also contain branched chain amino acids that are responsible for promoting muscular growth and repair. Due to their success, Pandy has decided to create another product to add to their lineup that targets a similar audience to the ones that they already have.

Chocolate That is Good for you

Pandy's latest release is a protein chocolate, distinct from say a chocolate flavoured protein bar. While we have seen protein chocolates before in the likes of Professor Protein, and Cocoa+, it has to be said that they have not really taken off, but with Pandy's brand name behind it, their Protein Chocolate stands a better chance for success you would think if they can nail the actual product formula and taste.

So how does Pandy's chocolate measure up you might ask?

Well, with the label proudly declaring each bar contains 22% protein you can clock up a success in the protein stakes with Pandy not far off the count of the most commercially successful protein bars like Quest, Combat Crunch, One Bar and Carb Killa to name a few. Furthermore, unlike some protein bars, Pandy have not gone the easy route of using easy to flavour but inferior protein sources such as soy and collagen to get this amount of protein in their chcoolate. Instead, the protein is delivered from milk protein, a high quality, slow releasing protein source which makes these chocolate bars ideal as a snack that keeps you full for longer.

Delivers on Taste

While clean bars such as RX, One Bars and the like still dominate sales in America, we knew that in Europe the factor that drives success above all others is taste so it was critical that Pandy focused on this factor in our opinion. Thankfully, the brand has not disappointed and we have to say that from a taste, texture and appearance perspective, Pandy's Protein Chocolate is everything you would expect from a chocolate bar. In both appearance and taste it is a lot closer to a pure chocolate bar like a Lindt Bar rather than the type of caramel infused chocolate bars which have inspired bars like Carb Killa. This tastes like a premium chocolate bar, and it contains real cocoa butter and cacao crisps so perhaps this is not a surprise but what is a surprise is how good they taste with just 3g of sugar included.

In conclusion, these bars are a true success if you are a health conscious chocoholic who craves the taste and purity of chocolate as opposed to the type of bars including copious amounts of nuts, wafers, caramel and other fillings.
