What Makes a Crispy Rice Protein Bar Different
You can tell what kind of bar it is before you read the wrapper. Break it in half and you can see the little pieces of rice. Bite into it and you get that quick crunch, followed by the chew you remember from a crispy rice treat.
That texture is what makes a crispy rice protein bar different. Think about the difference between biting into a soft brownie and biting into a cereal treat. Both can be chewy, but with a rice bar you can feel the individual crisps as you eat it.
What a crispy rice protein bar is
Think of a cereal treat with a Nutrition Facts panel you can use to compare it with other protein snacks. The rice crisps give the bar its texture. The protein grams on the label tell you how much protein you’re getting in the full bar. If you’re shopping for a particular kind of bite, that distinction helps. Two bars can both have 25g of protein and feel completely different to eat.
What’s in one Big Kid bar
Each bar weighs 80g and contains 25g of protein. Salted Caramel, Coconut Cream, and Cookies & Cream each have 6g of fiber, and S’mores has 7g. You can find the full Nutrition Facts and ingredient list on each flavor page.
Serving size is worth a look if you’re comparing labels. The 25g figure is for the whole 80g Big Kid bar. If you eat half, that’s about 12.5g of protein. Check the ingredient list and allergen information on the specific flavor page if you’re deciding whether it fits what you eat.
When you might reach for one
Put one in your bag for the stretch between lunch and dinner, or break it in half and have part of it with coffee. The texture is easiest to see when you snap the bar open. Look for the individual pieces of rice through the middle.
The four flavors share that crispy rice bite. If the texture is what you’re curious about, start with a flavor you already like. Each flavor page shows what the bar looks like and lists the ingredients.
