CONVENIENCE ESSENTIALS EXPAND ‘Decadent’ protein bar that’s packed with goodness The debate rages on – does it taste more like chocolate fudge or more like a chocolate brownie? The consensus on one point remains strong, “it tastes absolutely fantastic,” Blue Dinosaur Director Mike Watts-Seale says. “Decadent, chocolatey, jam-packed full of natural protein and really good for you. It’s kind of the best thing ever invented, ever.” The Blue Dinosaur Protein Chocolate Bar 60g is claimed to be made with free range egg whites, beef collagen, coconut oil, dates, maple syrup, and raw organic cacao, and provides 977 kilojoules, 24.2g of protein (equivalent to a 100g steak), 5.5g of fat (including 5.1g saturated); 19.3g of carbohydrates (including 15.2g sugar); and 4.1g of dietary fibre.
