If you’re always on the go and don’t have much time to eat, or you’re doing a lot of training and feel peckish between meals, then protein bars are ideal to give you a hit of protein whilst satisfying the hunger pangs.
In this review, I’ll be taking a look at the PhD Protein Flapjack+ in Apple and Raspberry flavour.
PhD Protein Flapjack+
Made in the UK, the chunky 75g PhD Protein Flapjack+ bars come in a variety of flavours including Peanut Butter, Forest Berries and Apple and Raspberry, the latter of which I am reviewing here.
Unwrapping the bar’s wrapper, I can really smell the raspberry content of the flapjack bar. The bar itself is a sticky, golden, rolled and malted oat bar coated in white yoghurt. It looks very appetising.
Biting into the bar, it’s really soft and chewy with the subtle apple and the stronger raspberry taste coming through. The flapjack has the right amount of sweetness to be tasty and delicious and is quite moist. Other oat bars often taste more of oats than the flavouring they’re meant to be but this bar really tastes of fruity raspberry and is oh so moreish!
The flapjack tastes fantastic and is the right size to fill a gap between meals. I’m usually a fan of chocolate than I am of fruit but colour me converted with PhD’s effort. This flapjack+ bar is so refreshingly tasty that I can see myself eating these during the day and leaving my chocolate ones to when I have chocolate-specific hunger cravings.
