Jacob Protein Bar
At a glance
Summary
Jacob Protein Bar scores 96/100. A remarkably clean 10-ingredient bar built on a grass-fed protein blend (whey isolate, milk protein isolate, bovine collagen, whey concentrate) delivering 20g protein. Sweetened with organic honey and dates, uses grass-fed beef tallow as the fat source instead of seed oils, and includes organic almond butter and unsweetened chocolate. No emulsifiers, no natural flavors, no artificial sweeteners — one of the cleanest protein bars available.
