Protein Bars | 12 Per Box

12.

No.

For now, we're only offering full boxes but may be able to offer individual bars in the future!

Each bar contains 240 calories, 20 grams of protein, 38 grams of carbohydrate, 10 grams of fiber, and 6 grams of fat.

Because while most types of carbohydrate contains about 4 calories per gram, carbs from fiber and erythritol contain less.

Specifically, insoluble fiber contains no calories, soluble fiber contains about 2 calories per gram, and erythritol contains about 0.2 calories per gram.

Thus, to convert the bar’s macros to calories, you need to differentiate between the grams of carbohydrate that contain 4 calories and those that contain less.

They’re better, duh! ;-)

The first thing you’ll notice is how much better our protein bar tastes and feels in your mouth. It’s fresh, moist, and chewable, and many customers say it tastes more like a candy bar than a protein snack.

We’ve also taken special care to ensure our bars are easy on your stomach, which is often a problem with other naturally sweetened, high-fiber protein bars.

And while you may not realize it, your body and muscles will appreciate that we’ve used only high-quality sources of protein (whey and pea protein) instead of cheaper options like milk protein, calcium caseinate, and soy protein.

Corn fiber has gotten a bad rap among some because it’s inexpensive.

Many supplement and food companies have used this to attack their competitors who use corn fiber and to distinguish the “superiority” of their products (that don’t contain corn fiber but something slightly “fancier” and more expensive).

That doesn’t mean corn fiber is “bad for you,” however.

In fact, research shows it’s a healthy source of prebiotic fiber, and although people sometimes think the corn fiber in a supplement or food product is upsetting their stomachs, it’s actually something else, like the total amount of fiber from all sources or amount of sugar alcohols.

If you have a sensitive stomach or something in our bars just doesn’t seem to sit right with you, there are three things you can do:

1. Keep eating the bars and see what happens.

   If you’re new to our bars and are experiencing gastrointestinal distress, you might find that after a week or so of eating them regularly, your stomach adjusts and symptoms simply disappear.

2. Eat the bars less frequently.

   For instance, some people find that one bar every 24 hours or so is perfectly fine, but if they eat two in the same time frame, their stomach will get upset.

3. Eat the bars slower with more liquid.

   Instead of slamming bars down in a few bites with no liquids, try eating them slower while sipping on a beverage in between bites.

We decided to use a blend of whey and pea protein because they’re more or less equally effective for gaining muscle and together produce an outstanding texture and mouthfeel (better than whey alone and whey plus micellar casein, which we also tried).

The exact amounts of whey and pea protein aren’t listed on the label because protein bar manufacturers are funny about sharing that kind of information on packaging!

(Weird, I know.)

That said, the protein content in each bar is as follows:

• 8 grams of whey isolate

• 7 grams of whey concentrate

• 3 grams of whey hydrolysate

• 6 grams of pea isolate

Or about 75% whey and 25% pea.

You can certainly find cheaper protein bars, but what are you getting for your money?

In many cases, you’re getting bars that...

1. Contain low-quality forms of protein, like milk protein, calcium caseinate, and soy protein.

2. Contain a number of other undesirable ingredients, including corn syrup, maltodextrin, artificial sweeteners, dyes, and flavors, and other chemical junk.

3. Taste mediocre at best, and often much worse.

Our protein bars are different.

They contain 20 grams of a blend of some of the highest-quality types of protein you can buy: whey isolate, whey hydrolysate, whey concentrate, and pea protein.

What this means is every gram of protein in every Legion bar you eat can be efficiently and effectively used by your body to build muscle, recover from workouts, and support health and weight loss.

They also contain 10 grams of prebiotic fiber, which supports your overall health and well-being in a number of ways.

Additionally, our protein bars are naturally sweetened and flavored with stevia and erythritol and contain absolutely no fillers or artificial sweeteners, flavors, dyes, or other chemical junk.

That doesn’t mean we skimped on the taste, either.

We worked on samples for nearly a year to ensure that every bite of our bars is savory, moist, and pleasantly chewable. Our goal was to create a bar that tastes like high-protein candy, and many of our customers say we’ve done just that! .

We put a small amount of palm oil in each bar because it’s a natural way to improve mouthfeel and shelf life.

And yes, there are valid environmental concerns about how palm oil is cultivated, including greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution.

That’s why we use only sustainably sourced palm oil in our protein bars, which comes from manufacturers that meet the standards set by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).

Technically, each bar contains about 28 grams of “active” carbs, but that doesn’t mean you should only “count” that many if you’re tracking your macros (macronutrients).

Although the 10 grams of “nonactive” carbs are from fiber and erythritol and contain fewer calories than the “active” carbs, they still contain calories.

Therefore, if you want to be as accurate as possible in your calorie and macro tracking, we recommend you simply count all 38 grams of carbs in each bar.

Yes, but not in a “bad” way.

Your blood sugar levels will rise after eating one of our bars, but the increase will be relatively small and sustained, meaning there won’t be a crash or other negative aftereffect.

No.

Our bars contain whey concentrate, which contains lactose.

You don’t need to be worried! The product is perfectly safe. :)

That label is there because of California's Proposition 65 requirements. This is a law that requires products to have a warning label if they contain any of 900 chemicals (even in trace amounts).

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) already set safe levels for these chemicals, but Prop 65 goes beyond those requirements.

For example, their requirements for lead (0.5 PPM) are FAR below federal standards (10 PPM). In fact, many foods have higher natural lead content than Prop 65 regulations—just two servings of tuna per day puts[1] you well over the limit. So, just because a product bears the Prop 65 label doesn’t mean it’s dangerous.

Yes.

Our bars don’t contain gluten.

No.

Our bars weren’t designed to be keto friendly as they’re intended for the everyday person who doesn’t follow any particular style of dieting.

Yes.

None of the ingredients are derived from meat.

No.

Our bars contain whey protein, which is made from milk.
