About the Chocolate

The use of high-quality chocolate could be considered one of the ‘secrets’ of Built Bar. Built Bar's perfectly tempered dark chocolate mixes with their naturally flavored protein base to produce a flavor combination reminiscent of high-quality candy or dessert. The lingering chocolate aftertaste – your last impression of the bar – is in sharp contrast to other protein bars which have quite negative aftertastes. Though their choice of chocolate does contribute a small amount of sugar to the bar, Built Bar has found that the fiber and protein present greatly decrease the rate of sugar absorption, giving no noticeable blood sugar spike in either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetics.

Natural Flavoring and Coloring

Built Bar only uses natural flavors and natural colors.

Whey Protein Isolate

There are several sources of protein used in protein bars. Three most often are whey, egg whites, and products from soybeans. Whey protein isolate was chosen for the bars because it is a complete protein, which means it has all the essential amino acids, it has high digestibility, and a mild taste.

The isolate version Built Bar used does not contain casein or lactose, which are the components of milk that some people are allergic to. Very few individuals are sensitive to whey protein isolate.

After research, Built Bar eliminated soy as a possible protein base. Though it is a complete protein, it has an unpleasant, beany taste that must be masked. Second, and possibly more important, is that soy contains various enzymes that inhibit the digestion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. These anti-nutritional enzymes actively prevent you from getting nutrition. Soy protein is flexible in its texture and has a low cost, but the other attributes make it a poor choice for a general protein bar.

Built Bar researched using egg white, which is a widely available, complete protein and has a digestibility almost equal to whey protein. A major problem with egg white is that the sources of egg white protein process their powder in different ways. One batch might absorb a certain amount of water while another will absorb much less. It was this inconsistency that led them away from egg whites.

* This product is sensitive to heat. During the summer months, please consider purchasing our Insulated Shipping Containers with Ice Packs to avoid possible melting, especially if you are outside of a 2-day transit time from California. If you live in a part of the country that experiences extreme heat conditions, we highly recommend UPS Next Day Air. This is a guaranteed service with a morning delivery time which eliminates the package sitting all day in the back of the delivery truck. If you are interested in this option, please purchase the insulated box with standard shipping. When you get to the checkout page where you see your shipping options, you will want to choose UPS Next Day Air.

Unfortunately, Proteinwise cannot control weather conditions which could affect products once an order has left our warehouse. We promptly ship all orders from our climate-controlled warehouse, but extreme temperature fluctuations during transit are out of our control. No returns, exchanges or credits on products that might have been affected by melting.

Melted Mess

The entire box of Built bars were melted upon arrival even after purchasing the $14.99 insulated box. This ruined the texture of all the bars so I can't give an accurate rating about the taste. Very disappointing!

Thank you Rhonda for your honest review. It will help others when considering purchasing these highly meltable bars. Yes, although you purchased the insulated box, it only will stay cold for up to 48 hours and the expedited shipping option offered to those outside of a 2 day transit time was not chosen. We do realize that due to the extra cost, some choose not to go this direction. Our apologies for any inconvenience.
