The Texture Thing
Built Bars have this bouncy, marshmallow-like center. Some people love it, some people think it’s weird. You won’t know until you try one.
They’re not chewy like Quest bars, not crunchy like protein chips. They’re… squishy?
Who It’s For
Good for: People cutting calories who can handle 4-5g sugar. The protein-to-calorie ratio is impressive.
Not for: Strict keto folks or anyone who needs zero sugar. Also skip it if you hate weird textures.
Test your blood sugar response. 4-5g sugar affects everyone differently. Some people are fine, others see a noticeable spike.
High protein, low calorie, strange texture. The 4-5g sugar makes it borderline for strict diabetes management.
📈 Blood Sugar Impact
Moderate glycemic impact. Higher protein (17-19g) than most bars with only 4-5g sugar. Unique marshmallow-like texture.
