Redcon1 MRE Bar - German Chocolate Cake (67 g)

The Redcon1 MRE Bar in German Chocolate Cake is a 67 g protein bar with 20 g of protein per bar. The protein comes from a blend of animal and plant sources, including beef protein isolate, salmon protein, chicken protein and egg albumin, and the carbohydrates include yam, sweet potato and oats. Vitasave sells it as a single bar or as a box of 12.

What is in the bar

MRE stands for meal ready to eat, a nod to Redcon1's military theme. The protein blend lists beef protein isolate, salmon protein, chicken protein, egg albumin, brown rice protein and pea protein, with soy protein isolate and whey protein from the coating further down. The carbohydrate blend uses dehydrated yam and sweet potato, pea starch, coconut water powder, dehydrated blueberries and goji berries, maltodextrin, dextrose and MCT oil. Gluten-free rolled oats, coconut, peanuts, cocoa and chicory root fibre give the German chocolate cake flavour its texture.

Per bar, the Nutrition Facts table lists 260 calories, 9 g of fat (5 g saturated), 29 g of carbohydrate, 3 g of fibre, 6 g of sugars (5 g added) and 20 g of protein, with 300 mg of sodium and 290 mg of calcium. Sweetness comes from sugar, maltitol, sorbitol and sucralose.

Allergens

The bar contains milk, soy, tree nuts (almond and coconut), peanut, egg and fish (salmon). With beef and chicken protein in the blend, it is not vegetarian.

Single bar or box of 12

The single bar lets you try the flavour. The box of 12 holds twelve wrapped 67 g bars, 804 g in total, enough for one bar every training day for a month at three sessions a week.

How to enjoy it

Unwrap and eat one bar as a snack, after a workout, or alongside a meal on a busy day. One bar is one serving. The bar needs no refrigeration, so it can live in a gym bag, a truck or a locker. Keep the box somewhere cool and dry. The full directions are under How to Take.

Who it suits

It suits adults who want 20 g of protein in a bar and like a chocolate and coconut cake flavour. It fits people who eat meat and fish and want a protein bar whose blend goes beyond whey or soy. It is not for anyone with a fish, egg, milk, peanut or tree nut allergy.
