We were in two minds about whether to include Supreme Protein Raptor Extreme Bars or not, as they’re marketed as endurance bars rather than protein bars. However, we feel it contains enough of a whey protein dosage to pass – in certain circumstances.

If you are looking for a high dose protein bar, there are definitely much better options out there. However, for what it’s designed as – a pre-workout bar, it’s pretty much on the money.

As far as protein goes, it contains 11g of protein; a blend of Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate and 5g of Essential Amino Acids including L-Glutamine, L-Leucine, L-Valine and L-Isoleucine.

As lots of people are concerned about muscle catabolism during workouts, an 11g intake of quality whey protein and added essential amino acids should be enough to make the most paranoid of minds rest easy during an hour’s workout.

But, alas, it’s more an energy bar at heart, and this shows in the 46g of carbohydrates (26g of which are sugars). These carbs are a blend of low, moderate and high GI carbohydrates that provide energy for immediate and more sustained physical activity.

Each 75g bar contains 5g of fat (1.5g from saturated fat) and are 280 calories.

These bars also contain numerous vitamins and minerals such as Zinc, Vitamins B, C and E, to name just a few.
