I received samples from Built Bar (affiliate link) when I signed up to be an Ambassador, though I had already purchased several boxes on my own. As always, all opinions are my own.
I learned about Built Bars while researching the best low points protein bars for Weight Watchers. I asked the question on my Facebook page, where they were the overwhelming favorite.
So today we are giving away a box of them to one lucky commenter. See the details at the end of the post!
Built Bar Reviews
Here is a Sampling of Built Bar Reviews:
- "You guys it tastes like almond joy and I’m OBSESSED! Eating it with my coffee is a treat every day!"
- "I love the Coconut Almond. Feels like I’m cheating on my diet but I really am not."
- "I love many of the built bar flavors, but peanut butter is by far my favorite flavor!"
- "This is honestly one of the only protein bars I’ll purchase. They are so good (especially the coconut almond) and a good texture!"
- "I really like the peanut butter protein bar because it’s not overpoweringly sweet. I eat it for breakfast and it keeps me full until lunch".
- "I have tried many protein bars over the years and have NEVER found one as good as built bars. They are low calorie, delicious chewy goodness!!! I love, love, love them!!! They are fantastic to eat at work when there is no lunch in sight. I am a nurse and the no lunch thing happens frequently. They are filling and hold me over. Thank you for such a quality product."
Where Can You Find Built Bars?
Turns out that these very popular protein bars are currently only available online. You won't find Built Bar (affiliate link) at Walmart or your grocery or health food store, which explains why I hadn't heard of them.
But with such a strong endorsement from fellow Weight Watchers, from 130 - 180 calories, 3 - 5 WW SmartPoints, and an ingredient list that works for me, I decided to give them a try.
Who doesn't dream of a protein bar with only 4 grams of sugar that actually tastes like candy?
After trying several flavors, I'm definitely smitten. My favorite is the coconut almond (180 calories, 18g protein, 7g fiber, 7g fat, 19g carbs), which reminds me of an almond joy candy bar, only better because it kept me satisfied for hours. I keep one in my purse so I'm never tempted by the drive through days when I'm out and about and hunger strikes.
However, my husband found them too dense and chewy for his tastes.

What Are the Ingredients & Nutrition in Built Bars?
When shopping for protein bars, I spend a lot of time reading nutritional labels. Many are super high in calories, which doesn't work for me. Others contain ingredients I can't tolerate. Sucralose gives me a headache and some of commonly used sugar alcohols (sorbitol and maltitol) cause me gastric distress.
According to the company website, a primary objective in designing Built Bar was to make a bar that was high in protein, low in carbohydrates, had clean ingredients and would actually taste good.
The major ingredients include: Whey Protein Isolate, gelatin, dark chocolate (the source of all the actual sugar in the bars), maltodextrin, erythritol, glycerin, natural flavorings. They are free of artificial preservatives.
What Are the Most Popular Built Bar Flavors?
Built Bar flavors are continuously coming and going as they test out new recipes, offer limited releases, and retire less popular ones. Just today I learned of a new limited release, S'mores bar, that was sold out by the time I got around to checking it out.
Current BuiltBar flavors include:
- Banana Chocolate Creme†
- Banana Nut Bread‡
- Black Cherry Chocolate Creme†
- Coconut Almond‡
- Coconut Chocolate Creme†
- Double Chocolate Mousse†
- Mint Brownie Delite†
- Orange Chocolate Creme
- Peanut Butter‡
- Peanut Butter Brownie‡
- Raspberry Chocolate Creme†
- Salted Caramel Chocolate†
- Toffee Almond‡
- Vanilla Chocolate Creme†
My personal favorites include raspberry chocolate creme, vanilla chocolate creme, double chocolate mousse, coconut chocolate creme and coconut almond.

I would love to try the salted carmel chocolate. I have heard such good things about Built Bars, but have yet tried one. This would be great start.
Becky Grossi
I've seen on different WW groups, Built Bars craze, and just kept putting off investigating them! So thank you, Martha for this info, I just have to check them out. I will want to try them all, but the Salted Carmel Chocolate sounds heavenly!!!
Nancy Verhelst
This is the first I hear about Built Bars, but am definitely going to try. The Coconut Almond sounds divine. I usually eat a Protein One bar on the afternoon, so this will be a nice alternative. They look wonderful! Thanks for the information!!
Colleen
Be careful and don't keep them around long, I have thrown more than a box of the old style Built Bars away because they have molded and not just a little mold but mold with fuzz all over them. I am done with them as I don't think chocolate should do this, also they will give you gas. They taste very good but not willing to try the new version and have to throw more away.
Elaine Way
I just bought a box of the built bars with collagen. What are the points for those?
Joy

Stephanie Rosen

Sharon
I would like to try the chocolate mouse.
