Musashi Protein Crisp bars on sale again, personally I love these ones.
Choc peanut, dark choc mint and vanilla caramel on sale.
Edit: have just realised this is matching the sale price of Woolworths, half price at $2.45 per bar.
CamelCamelCamel.
The wafer ones are on the lower end of protein bars for macros, but they are a fun treat that isn't super bad still, I have them with coffee. They are ~200 calories/11g protein which is still way better than a real chocolate bar or muffin, cookie, etc., context matters.
The crisp bars have pretty good macros and taste great I'd recommend them too.
Food with ingredients that are terrible for you are still bad, regardless of how good the macros are.
As other commenter said, its not so much the macros, but the other ingredients in it that Yuka flags as risky
Interestingly, I got a price notification this morning from CamelCamelCamel, but decided not to buy any as I started to be a bit more health conscious these days.
Using my own food label analyser (https://feedbun.com), it came out with grade "C" (out of A/B/C/D/F). The concerns are around high fat content, potential laxative effects (sugar alcohols), gut microbiome alterations (sucralose), allergen concerns, high sodium and potential GI distress (allulose).
Consume in moderation. :)
Interesting tool you've built
highly recommend the yuka app, free to use and can just scan barcodes of items when in the store.
All convenience food is full of things that are not food and rate poorly. Only way to avoid is to prepare you own meals to hit your protein macros.
A good example is microwave rice or pre grated cheese, they go from healthy to full of crap the second you make them convenient.
The "True" brand of protein bars rate well. They don't taste as good, for obvious reasons, but it appears to be a healthier alternative
33g of protein on 401 Cal, me…
High protein looks to be in ok price, 3.4 per piece

Same price for singles at woolworths this week
picked up a box of these via Costco, pretty yummy tbf
Soy and pea protein? Pass
The mint/choc is really tasty. Most of the crisp bars are so much better than most of the chewy wall paste that passes as protein bars.
No sub & save?
Came here to say what Plutolio did. Singles are also half price at Woolworths, almost their entire protein bar range there, including creatine etc is 1/2 price currently. Best to try flavours first…
This style is my favourite as they're not jaw breaking hard like higher protein count bars so easy to eat while driving etc. Cookies n cream is the go
Man, too bad their protein powder is not on sale this time.
Same price at Costco
If this is anything like their usual Musashi whey products - stay a-whey from it.

You're just cheating yourself with this crap (and with Musashi products generally), as it contains over-bloated, unwarranted filler crap and ingredients — thinking it does you good nutritionally/ muscle gains/ caloric deficit/ gym benefits.
Stick with proper low-ingredient/ clean whey — not this sugar-laced candy shit like Musashi.
20g of protein. This was as low as $31.95 recently and has 45g of protein.
Currently they are all $41.40. They are chewy tho.
When I scanned the wafer version of these on Yuka they got a 0/100 score…
Not sure how the crisp version stacks up
