For a portable Bonfire Night snack, compare protein per finished bar on the exact flavour’s label rather than choosing by brand name alone. PhD lists 21–22g protein for checked 64g Smart Bar flavours, Myprotein lists 16g for its Soft Protein Bar, and Tesco lists 14g for its 45g Grenade Soft Core Creme Egg bar; the bars differ in size and style. If allergens or sugar alcohols matter to you, check the ingredients and warnings on the pack before buying.
If you want a portable snack with a particular amount of protein, compare grams per finished bar and its serving size. Check calories and sugars on that same flavour’s label rather than relying on a range-wide description.
A soft centre or chocolate-style coating may appeal for Bonfire Night, but texture does not tell you how much protein a bar contains. Compare the exact products if both flavour and protein amount affect your choice.
For allergies or dietary restrictions, read the ingredients, allergen information and any “may contain” statement on the exact pack. If sugar alcohols do not suit you, check the ingredients and any consumption warning too.
Start with the amount in one finished bar, then check whether its ingredients and serving size fit how you plan to eat it.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per bar | Compare grams per finished bar and the bar’s weight. PhD lists 21–22g for checked 64g Smart Bar flavours; Myprotein lists 16g for its Soft Protein Bar; Tesco lists 14g for a 45g Grenade Soft Core Creme Egg bar. | I want to know what one bar contributes, not just whether its wrapper says “protein”. |
| Flavour and texture | Check the named flavour and product format, then compare its own nutrition panel. A soft-centred bar is not necessarily equivalent to another bar in protein amount. | For an evening treat, texture matters to me, but I still want to compare the figures for the bar I will eat. |
| Serving size and nutrition | Read calories and sugars alongside protein, using the same per-bar serving. Myprotein lists 244–262 kcal for checked Soft Protein Bar flavours; PhD lists 250 kcal for its 64g Choc Brownie Smart Bar. | I want a snack-sized choice that fits my plans, rather than judging it by its sugar figure alone. |
| Allergens | Read the exact pack’s ingredients, allergen information and precautionary statements. The Food Standards Agency explains that “may contain” labelling concerns possible unintended allergen presence through cross-contamination. | If I am bringing bars to share, I need to check each flavour’s label rather than assume a brand’s range uses the same ingredients. |
| Sweeteners | Check for sugar alcohols and any consumption warning. Quest says its bars contain sugar alcohols; PhD warns that excessive consumption of its Smart Bar may cause laxative effects. | I would rather choose a bar whose ingredients I already know suit me than try several unfamiliar ones during an evening out. |
Figures can differ between products and serving sizes: Tesco lists 14g protein for its 45g Grenade Soft Core Creme Egg bar, while PhD lists 21–22g for checked 64g Smart Bar flavours.
Compare the protein figure per finished bar on the exact flavour you intend to buy.
Sugars do not describe the whole serving. For example, PhD lists 250 kcal for its 64g Choc Brownie Smart Bar, while Myprotein lists 244–262 kcal for checked Soft Protein Bar flavours.
Read the per-bar protein, calories, sugars and serving size together before deciding which snack fits your plans.
Quest says its bars contain sugar alcohols, and PhD warns that excessive consumption of its Smart Bar may cause laxative effects.
Check the ingredients and warnings; if you know these ingredients do not suit you, choose a bar you already tolerate.
These references help distinguish product ranges and places to shop; figures for one flavour should not be applied to every bar a brand sells.
PhD sells Smart Protein Bars directly in the UK, including checked 64g flavours.
Myprotein’s Soft Protein Bar offers a soft, confectionery-style format.
Grenade has Protein Bar and Soft Core ranges, with products also listed by Tesco.
Quest describes its OG Protein Bars as containing up to 21g protein per bar and makes a gluten-free claim for its protein-bar range.
Tesco lists Barebells bars, including Peanut Butter and Cookies & Cream 55g variants.
Tesco is a supermarket shopping channel, not a protein-bar manufacturer.
These Grenade and PhD bar multipacks offer different named flavours and formats to consider for Bonfire Night. Compare the label of the exact bar, particularly where flavour or allergen details need confirming.

A four-bar pack to consider if you want individual bars for an evening out. Check the exact pack’s protein per bar, ingredients, allergen information and sugar alcohols before choosing it.
No image available
A 12-bar pack if you are shopping for more than one occasion. PhD warns that excessive consumption of Smart Bars may cause laxative effects; check the physical pack for this flavour’s nutrition and allergens, as the listing’s allergen details conflict.

The listing title names Chocolate Peanut Butter Flavour, but its detailed description names White Chocolate Blondie. Confirm the flavour and its nutrition and allergen information on the physical pack before choosing these bars.

A Double Chocolate Soft Core option if flavour and texture are part of your snack choice. Compare protein per 50g bar with other flavours and check the exact pack for allergens and sugar alcohols.
No image available
A Golden Caramel Soft Core option for a named flavour preference. Check protein per 50g bar alongside the ingredients, allergen information and sugar alcohols on this variant’s pack.
Use the grams of protein per finished bar and note its weight. PhD lists 21–22g for checked 64g Smart Bar flavours, Myprotein lists 16g for its Soft Protein Bar, and Tesco lists 14g for its 45g Grenade Soft Core Creme Egg bar. Check the exact flavour’s panel rather than applying those figures to a whole brand.
Read the exact pack’s ingredients, allergen information and any “may contain” statement. The Food Standards Agency explains that precautionary allergen labelling indicates possible unintended presence through cross-contamination; Tesco’s Grenade Soft Core Creme Egg listing, for example, names milk and soy ingredients and gives a precautionary statement for gluten-containing cereals, peanuts and nuts.
The sugar figure does not tell you which sweeteners a bar contains or whether you tolerate them. Quest says its bars contain sugar alcohols, while PhD warns that excessive consumption of its Smart Bar may cause laxative effects. Check the ingredients and warnings on the exact product.
Yes, a supermarket shop is one way to compare bars alongside other groceries. Tesco lists products from Grenade, Barebells and Myprotein, though the listed flavours and local availability can vary; use the exact pack for nutrition and allergen details.
