For some time now I’ve
been following a low carb high protein ‘diet’ to help me lose my remaining baby
weight and ultimately try to be healthier.
As time’s gone on I’ve
found the programme and lifestyle change pretty easy to adapt to and I really
enjoy the way it makes me feel now- less bloated, less hungry and I tend to have
more energy.
However, the one
thing I really struggle with and miss is sugar, sweet treats and chocolate.
These types of treats
offer low nutritional value, are high in sugar and carbs and although they
taste yummy, do nothing to supplement my diet. Boo.
I did some research
and looked into perhaps switching my choccie bars to protein bars, but even
these were loaded with carbs as their primary use is to refuel and stock up on
protein and carbs following a workout.
Gah!
Finally, after
extensive research I stumbled across a brand called Grenade and more
specifically, a bar called Grenade Carb Killa.
These Carb Killa’s
are a triple-layered, crunchy low carb high protein bar.
Now I’ll admit I was
slightly off put by both the name and the packaging when I first saw them as
they just screamed ‘For Men’ but I also know better than to judge a book by its
cover so I found out a little more about them.
Each 60g bar contains
23g of protein, 214 calories and just 13.5g of carbs. If you’ve ever bought a
regular protein bar before, you’ll know that they often contain substantially more
calories than this and certainly a whole heap more carbs, often double or
triple this amount.
Available in 2
flavours, Caramel Chaos or Cookies and Cream each bar is made up of triple
layers, filled with crunchy 'crispies' and coated in milk chocolate.
I LOVE the Caramel
Chaos bars. The top layer is a yummy, rich, gooey caramel which sits atop a
soft, nougart filled base, covered in a thin layer of milk chocolate with
crispy soy crispies.
Unlike many protein
bars that can taste pretty damn awful if I’m honest, these Carb Killa’s taste
uh-mazing.
The closest thing I can
compare it to in taste and texture would be a Mars Bar, but this bad boy will
give you the boost of protein that your body needs without the carbs or sugar!
Designed to be eaten wherever
and whenever you don’t need to just be on a low carb diet to enjoy these,
indeed if you are following any kind of weight management plan they can be
really helpful at helping to curb those pesky sweet cravings.

you? Well fear not because if you head over to the Grenade website now and
