MORPH Functional Protein Bar - Berry Blast Dark Chocolate (38 g)

The MORPH Functional Protein Bar in Berry Blast Dark Chocolate is a round, 38 g protein bar, which MORPH calls a protein puck. It is built on whey protein isolate with a functional mushroom blend, manuka honey and freeze-dried blueberries and strawberries, all coated in a thin layer of Belgian dark chocolate. Each bar has 12 g of protein.

What is inside

The protein comes from whey protein isolate, a filtered form of whey with most of the lactose removed. The mushroom blend includes lion's mane. Manuka honey from New Zealand adds sweetness, and the berries are grown and freeze-dried in British Columbia and delivered to MORPH each month.

The chocolate shell is Belgian chocolate made with traceable cocoa from cooperative farms in Ghana, Ecuador and the Ivory Coast. MORPH says the bars contain no seed oils, preservatives, sugar alcohols, artificial flavours or colours, and that it uses organic and non-GMO suppliers. The ingredients are gluten-free, though the bar is not yet certified gluten-free.

Allergens

The bar contains milk from the whey protein. Check the wrapper for the full allergen statement before eating if you have a food allergy, since MORPH also makes a peanut butter flavour.

How it compares

MORPH's puck is a compact 38 g round bar sweetened with honey and fruit, made without the sugar alcohols found in many protein bars. The range comes in three flavours: Berry Blast Dark Chocolate, Peanut Butter Milk Chocolate and Strawberry Matcha Latte. MORPH is a Canadian company, and the bars are made just outside Vancouver, B.C.

How to enjoy it

Eat it straight from the wrapper as a snack, before or after a workout, or as part of a packed lunch. It needs no refrigeration and travels well in a gym bag, a backpack, a school lunch or a hockey bag, and it makes an easy snack at the top of a hike. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.

Who it suits

It suits people who want a smaller protein snack with a dark chocolate and berry flavour, and who prefer a bar made without sugar alcohols or seed oils. It fits athletes, students and busy parents alike. It is not vegan, since the protein is whey.
