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 one of these bars. I have been on WW for about 2 years and lost 20 lbs. I’m always craving something sweet and chocolately. Peanut butter is one of my favorite foods.
Linda
I lost 20lbs on WW. I would like to try peanut butter.

How about one of each? They all sound wonderful!
I miss chocolate so much so I’d try double chocolate mousse.
Linda Goller
While at a WW meeting 2 weeks ago, I heard about the Built Bar. Someone had one for us to sample. I fell in love and knew I had to find these somewhere. I was told that I had to order, so after finding Martha's blog and website, that was it.
So good!

I have not tried them yet, but I am intrigued by all the great comments, calories, ingredients and low WW points! Peanut Butter would be my first choice and the coconut would be my husband's pick!
Marilyn
I just opened Martha’s column now and was reading about Built Bars in delicious flavors. They sound wonderful, and maybe what I need now. I’ve kept off 52#, but just not losing now with this pandemic. I live alone, and this isolation is the pitts!
Luann Martin
I am on the Green WW Plan for the past month. I stumbled onto this website and am loving it. I recommended this site to family members who are also on WW. I heard about Built Bars and when I found out more about them through your site, it really makes me want to try them.
Hope I am picked to make the best our of my WW journey. Thanks for all this website does. Its Fabulous
Marilyn Barnett
I love this website, and it's one email that I look forward to with it's helpful hints and recipes. The Built Bars sound great and like something I really need. These would help me stay away from desserts, which are my downfall. Thank you!
Susie
I can’t wait to try the Double Chocolate Mousse.
Margo Stites
It is a difficult decision to choose just one Built Bar. I would go with Black Cherry Chocolate Creme or Coconut Almond, but I would prefer to try all of them. Sounds like they would help with sweets cravings and still be good for you.
Diana
I would love to try the orange chocolate cream or the raspberry chocolate cream, but they all sound yummy! I work the night shift as an RN and I think these bars would be a perfect solution for dealing with hunger in the middle of the night. Love this website and have used many recipes from it...just made the meatloaf, it’s one of our favorites!
