Crobar, Cricket Protein Bar

 Crobars are protein bars made from all natural sources and the unique ingredient being flour made from crickets! on Twitter being sold at Millie's of Leeds and being the adventurous kind of guy that I am I decided to give one a go!

I am going to compare Crobar with a Quest bar because they appear to be the most well known protein bar brand.

Price wise Corbars win out, £2.69 a 40g bar compared to £2.95  for a 60g cookies and cream quest bar.

Sadly Quest bars win out on everything, lower calories, almost double the protein, lower fat, more than five times the fibre and a massive variety of flavours.
The Crobars ingredients are transparent with the Cricket flour only making up 6% of the the bar.

I would say that the Crobar tasted a lot like Cashew Naked bar with the two sharing dates and nuts in their ingredients this wasn't too surprising, to be honest I was hoping the bar would taste more crickety.


Now the part of the Crobar that is important is when you look at the bigger picture.

Protein sourced from Crickets is more environmentally friendly than whey protein.
Growing cows taxes a lot of resources, water, land, increased CO2 production and money.

I guess the conclusion of this review is that if you have an ethical conscious or just want to say you have tried cricket then you should of opt for the Crobar.
