Trek Protein Flapjacks and Protein Energy Bars Review

When the worlds biggest flapjack fan gets sent a parcel containing protein flapjacks to review you just know it’s gonna be a good day. I mean come on, free flapjacks, that I haven’t had to make, popped through my letterbox, ready to be devoured. AWESOME!

Trek protein flapjacks along with their range of protein energy bars are, as the name would so rightly indicate, packed to the packets with protein. Check out the nutrition blurb on the packet and you’ll spot that each bar contains anything from between 9g up to almost 11g of protein per bar.

The clever little so and so’s at Trek have created their snack bars to suit two very important factors when it comes to exercising. With an optimal 2:1 carb-to-protein ratio, the flapjacks make for perfect post-workout recovery fuel and the energy bars are cold pressed with raw wholefood ingredients which means they are great for endurance exercise as they provide a long lasting source of energy without any of those dreaded sugar spikes. Both are made using gluten-free oats and are suitable for vegans, plus the energy bars also provide 1 of your 5 a day.

I was sent 4 different bars to try out in order to let you lovely lot know what they taste like, so here goes:

Cocoa Coconut Protein Flapjack

When you peel back the wrapper of a protein flapjack and you spy a smooth brown coating peeping back at ya, you know you’re onto a winner. With its crunchy, coconut, oaty base and a good old helping of chocolate on top, these Trek Cocoa Coconut Protein Flapjacks are like the bastard love child of a Bounty and your mum’s best flapjack recipe.  The texture is crunchier than I expected, however I love that you can taste and feel the texture of the coconut and the chocolate topping really helps ‘lubricate’ the bar (well there’s a sentence you don’t read everyday!). A 50g bar is ever so filling, and the chocolate makes it quite rich, so it would be ideal fuel to take on a trek and spread it out with a bite here and there as and when you fancy it.

Nutrition Blurb

• 234 Calories
• 12.6g Fat (6.6g of which are saturated)
• 20.3g Carbs (13.5g of which are sugars)

Morning Berry Protein Flapjack

This tightly packed pale coloured protein flapjack has lovely little flecks of berries running through it. It crumbles easily when you get it out of the packet and although it has a nice sweet berry taste, it is slightly dry for my liking. Having said that, flapjacks aren’t just for fitness fiends, oh no siree they’re also fab for getting you through that mid afternoon slump and these make a fab dunking partner to your afternoon cuppa. Chewy and crunchy at the same time, it kind of tastes a bit like puffed rice exploding in your mouth with each bite.

• 216 Calories
• 10.2g Protein
• 9.6g Fat (3.1g of which are saturated)
• 21.1g Carbs (12.3g of which are sugars)

Cocoa Raisin Protein Flapjack

This is the new flavour on the block and oh what a flavour. Topped with chocolate (hooray to that!) and packed with a tonne of juicy big raisins there’s no doubt this one tastes sweeter and contains more sugar than the other protein flapjacks. And at first, I wasn’t too sure about the taste, however this is the grower of the bunch, the one I kept nibbling and picking at when taste testing. It’s the one that feels the most extravagant and the one you’re most likely to choose as a daily snack, rather than as fitness fuel. Chocolate and raisins in a flapjack, in my eyes you can’t really go wrong!

• 222 Calories
• 10.7g Fat (5g of which are saturated)
• 21.6g Carbs (14.8g of which are sugars)

Peanut Power Protein Energy Bar

First up let’s talk about the genius mastermind that came up with the idea of making this a snappable bar. Yep, this protein energy bar has just made your long run fuelling a hell of a lot easier. Looking like a peanut butter shaped chocolate bar, it has been designed to be eaten in 3 chunks to help fuel you at intervals. And with its slow release energy and its natural whole food ingredients it is a darn sight better than those hideous energy gels!

Smells like caramel, looks like caramel, it’s basically like compacted crunchy peanut butter with a sweet caramel after taste. Yes the sugars are high, but it’s from the natural sugars of the fruit and not from added sugar or syrup. Unlike the flapjacks, this is a cold pressed product, so there is no baking involved. It makes for a slightly chewier bar but there is still a satisfying crunch to it. As well as being gluten free, the Peanut Power Protein Energy Bar is wheat and dairy free too.

A great fuel to slip in your backpack if you’re doing an adventure challenge, as it is packed with lots of energy and is easy to eat as you go along. I definitely plan on taking one out with me on my next long run to see if it makes a difference to how I feel when I run, both during and afterwards.

• 203 Calories
• 6g Fat (1g of which are saturated)
• 25.7g Carbs (21.1g of which are sugars)

TREK Protein Flapjack Review

Looking for a delicious and nutritious snack that’s perfect for on-the-go? TREK Protein Flapjacks might just be what you need! These classic flapjacks are made from 100% plant-based ingredients, including gluten-free oats and soya protein crunchies, making them vegan-friendly and naturally gluten-free.

But how do they taste, and what’s their texture like? In this review, we’ll explore all that and more. We’ll also take a closer look at the nutritional value of TREK Protein Flapjacks, so you can decide if they’re the right snack for you. So let’s dive in!

When it comes to taste, TREK Protein Flapjacks do not disappoint. With a wide range of flavors to choose from, including Cocoa Oat, Lemon, Peanut Butter, and Salted Caramel, there’s something to satisfy every taste bud.

The Cocoa flavours are a particular favourite, offering a delectable chocolatey taste that hits the spot without being too sweet. The thin layer of chocolate coating adds a decadent touch, while the gluten-free oats provide a satisfying chewiness that leaves you feeling full and satisfied.

For those who prefer a fruitier taste, the Morning Berry flavour is a great choice. With its soft crunch and subtle sweetness, it’s the perfect way to start your day on a high note. And with all the goodness of gluten-free oats and plant-based protein, you can indulge in this treat guilt-free.

Overall, the taste of TREK Protein Flapjacks is a testament to their quality and attention to detail. Whether you’re in the mood for something chocolatey, fruity, or nutty, you can be sure that these flapjacks will deliver a satisfying and delicious snacking experience.

Texture is just as important as taste, and TREK Flapjacks deliver on both fronts. The gluten-free oats and soya protein crunchies give the flapjacks a satisfyingly chewy texture that’s not too dense, making them a great snack for any time of the day.

The thin layer of chocolate coating is great and adds an extra crunch and smoothness to each bite. The Cocoa Coconut flavour has little bits of coconut, which adds to its rich texture and flavour, giving it an almost tropical feel. If you’re a fan of coconut, you should love the taste of this one!

Meanwhile, the Morning Berry flavour has a soft crunch to it with some tasty subtle sweetness, and the mix of raspberries and oats is not too sweet and does not leave an artificial taste in your mouth. With this flavour, you can expect the flavourful and juicy taste of a traditional British flapjack, infused with the goodness of fruit.

TREK Protein Flapjacks are the perfect option for you! With a balanced 2:1 carbohydrate-to-protein ratio, these flapjacks make a great post-workout snack that can help replenish your muscle energy stores and maintain optimal blood sugar levels. Plus, with 10 grams of protein per serving, they can also help you to build and maintain muscle.

And the best part? These flapjacks are plant-based, wheat and gluten-free, GM free, and suitable for vegans! Keep reading to learn more about the nutritious ingredients in the Cocoa Oat flavour:

Trek Cocoa Coconut Protein Flapjack (2023)

Wondering whether or not to buy a box of Trek Cocoa Coconut Protein Flapjacks? Look no further!

We’ve written a complete review of the Trek Cocoa Coconut flapjacks, covering everything from taste and texture to price and protein content.

Read on to find out our honest and unbiased verdict on Trek’s Coconut and Cocoa Flapjack.

Trek Cocoa Coconut Flapjack

Trek are a staple in the healthy snacking industry. If you haven’t come across them before, they focus on creating healthy, vegan snacks that are typically high in protein and usually have additional features such as being gluten-free, making them ideal for coeliacs.

Fortunately, the Trek Cocoa Coconut Protein Flapjack is no different!

If you’re looking to get your hands on some of Treks flapjacks, bars, and other snacks, their full range of products are available to buy direct from Amazon UK.

Now, let’s get down to why you’re really here – the taste.

Trek Cocoa Coconut Protein Flapjack Taste

My, my… How do we describe these hidden gems?! We went ahead and bought a box of 16 bars direct from Trek via Amazon UK, and got through the lot in about 2 weeks.

Texture-wise, the Trek Cocoa Coconut flapjacks are a gooey, chewy consistency. They’re exactly what you want from an oaty flapjack – they taste like a real treat, but still maintain healthy macros and completely plant-based ingredients.

The coconut flavour is subtle and not overpowering – the main flavour is definitely the cocoa and flapjack. I’m not the biggest fan of coconut and I still really liked these and would order them again.

Nutritionally, they’re what you’d expect from a plant-based health snack. I’d argue that the sugar is a little too high for the super health conscious, but other than that, they’re a great balance of macros.

Per flapjack, you’ll be getting 234 calories, made up of just over 20 grams of carbs, almost 13 grams of fat and 9 grams of protein.

I’d prefer the macros to be balanced more heavily on the protein and less on the carbs/fat, but Trek do also sell higher protein bars for that exact purpose. That being said, these flapjacks are still a great option for those wanting to supplement their intake of protein. You could also use these as a part meal replacement for your breakfast depending on your durrent diet plans.

The RRP for the Trek Cocoa Coconut Protein Flapjack is currently £12.49 (at time of writing), which is around £0.80 per bar. A very affordable price point for a protein flapjack! We got hold of ours whilst they were on offer at just £10 for 16 bars (around £0.63 each!).

For the best price currently available, click here to view the product on Amazon UK.

Final Verdict

If you’re a fan of coconut, then look no further! The Trek Cocoa Coconut Protein Flapjack is a great choice to make if you’re looking to supplement your diet with a high protein, gluten-free source.

Not only that, but it sits at a low price point when compared to other protein flapjacks on the market, so you’ll be saving some pennies whilst still reaping the rewards of the additional protein.

Tribe Protein Flapjack

At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally try to break anything (except locks) but we do try to look for weak points in any design. The overall score is not just an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product's function and value – with value determined by how a product compares with items of similar spec, quality, and price.

Good scores are more common than bad, because fortunately good products are more common than bad.

• Exceptional
• Not so good

Tribe Protein Flapjack is a tasty protein boost that's made with all-natural ingredients and is easy to carry on the bike. Its slightly flaky composition makes it best suited to eating when off the bike rather than on it, though. It's also rather expensive.

This compact, pocket-friendly protein bar packs a decent kick for its size. It comes in two different flavours, caramel and raspberry. Each bar consists of three layers: a flapjack base, with a caramel or raspberry date layer above this, topped off by peanuts.

As with all of Tribe's products, not only is the Protein Flapjack vegan, it's HFSS (High in Fat, Salt and Sugar) compliant – this basically means it's scored a high enough nutrition rating to pass the new government legislation. And for every one you buy, Tribe will donate 1p to the Tribe Freedom Foundation: a charity established by the company to fight modern slavery and human trafficking. So there you go, not many protein bars can boast that kind of ethical prowess, it's fair to say.

Inside each bar you'll find an array of all-natural ingredients, including date paste, gluten-free oats, peanuts, soya crispies, and natural caramel flavouring (you can find the full list here ).

Nutritionally, the headlines stats are: energy 823KJ, carbs 19g, fats 9g (saturated fat is just 1g), with protein at 7g. It's not going to give you a massive mid-ride boost, then, compared with similar products, but then again Tribe's 50g Protein Flapjack is so small and light you won't notice it on you, and you could probably take several of them along for the ride.

No matter whether you go for the caramel or raspberry offering – both actually taste very similar – you'll likely be pretty pleased with the flavour. It's not game-changing like the Veloforte bars I tried previously , but the taste is subtle and they certainly aren't sickly in the slightest.

There's a good degree of moisture to the bar, but my only gripe with it is that it's quite crumbly, so as you're taking it out of the packet it does tend to fall apart a bit too easily sometimes. You probably wouldn't want to try eating one while you ride, as you'd risk losing half of it.

Off the bike, it's no issue, of course; I usually eat drier, more solid foods like dried apricots while I ride, anyway.

The Tribe Protein Flapjack comes in boxes of 12 and costs £22. That's about £1.83 per bar, which certainly isn't cheap. In fact, given these are only 50g per bar I'd say that's definitely on the expensive side.

For comparison, the Torq Explore Flapjacks I tried a few months ago worked out at £1.67 per bar when bought in bulk. Each bar is 65g, making it even cheaper per gram. That said, Tribe's Protein Flapjack offers more than twice the amount of protein, which makes sense given it's labelled as a protein bar, whereas the Torq bar isn't.

Veloforte's Mocha Protein Bar costs £2.42 at its cheapest (when bought as a box of 24). Interestingly, the Mocha Protein Bar offers about 14.7g per 100g of protein versus the Tribe Protein Flapjack's 14g per 100g, so they're fairly matched, but when you look at protein per £, Tribe's bar is slightly behind Veloforte's at £3.66 per 100g versus £3.46 per 100g.

Though Tribe's Protein Flapjack is quite a pricey option, it's a very compact and convenient size, and tastes good, the only downside being it's not one you can really eat while you ride. It's also good to know that you're supporting a very worthwhile charity when you spend money with Tribe.

Decent performance and fairly tasty, though it's expensive and you can't eat it while you ride

A solid bar, but a little bit flaky when broken up.

Decent nutrition per gram.

Quite an expensive bar when you look at the cost per gram.

Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose

Offers a decent level of performance and a good taste in a small and light package.

Tell us what you particularly liked about the product

Easy to carry.

Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product

Flaky texture means you can't really eat it while you ride for fear of losing half of it.

How does the price compare to that of similar products in the market, including ones recently tested on road.cc?

One of the more expensive protein bars we've tested, for sure. It's much more expensive than the Torq Explore Flapjack I tested not long ago (which admittedly isn't designed as a protein-specific bar, so doesn't compare well), and even more expensive than Veloforte's Mocha Protein Bar.

Use this box to explain your overall score

There's a lot to like about the Tribe Protein Flapjack. There's a decent amount of protein, along with other nutritional benefits, in its compact 50g square shape, it tastes nice, and is made of all-natural ingredients (and is HFSS compliant). The brand has some really rather strong ethics, which adds appeal, for me anyway. The only downsides are the expense and slightly crumbly texture which makes it hard to eat while riding.

£22 for twelve with a miniscule charity donation to their own charity? A branded pack of flapjacks, TREK original oat protein flapjacks for example, cost in the region £2 for three 50g bars. These cost nearly the same for one bar yet the nutritional values are near identical. If you really want to give to an anti modern slavery/trafficking charity and you must have a mass produced flapjack you could buy four boxes of the high street brand for £8 and give £14 to an established charity with a proven track record.

Anything with 'Protein' in the product name is a non-starter for me, it's just marketing spin. You don't need extra protein while riding, just eat a proper meal afterwards. And 19g of carbs isn't going to get you very far if you're pressing on the pedals.

I like the Torq, Ma Baker (90g) and Brynmor flapjacks (80g and made fairly local to me, as it happens).

x2. Protein helps build muscle, it doesn't help fuel them, carbs needed for that; protein, as you say, can be had at breakfast and dinner and in recovery. My ride snack of choice at the moment is Nature Valley Oats and Honey bars which are currently half price at Sainsburys (other bars/supermarkets are available) at £1.20 for a box of five. 27g of carbs per bar (well per two, two thin bars in each packet). I might eat four in the course of a 100 mile ride, so over a year maybe about £100 worth, the same amount of these (probably need more as fewer carbs, 19g per 50g as opposed to 29g per 42g) would cost over £700, a differential big enough to buy a very adequate new bike or a brilliant secondhand one. Could always give the £4 a year's worth of purchases would raise for chairty direct... 

Protein helps build muscle, it doesn't help fuel them

This is, of course, not strictly true. Protein, either from the gut because you've just eaten this 'high protein' bar or from various body stores, can be sacrificed to produce glucose and in most of us this process can be called up rapidly when blood glucose levels fall so that the brain cannot be fed with the glucose it has to have. It's just a roundabout and wasteful method of producing glucose for the muscles- so you might just as well hoover down the fig rolls

I accept the correction, but as you say it's hardly the optimal way of fuelling so not sure why this would be marketed as an in-ride booster. I don't know how accurate this is but I was told by a professional soigneur some years ago that protein should be avoided during a ride because of the extra energy it takes to process.

Rendel Harris wrote: not sure why this would be marketed as an in-ride booster

It's not particularly - they bill it as 'pre- or post-workout, or everyday snacking'. (Plus they're generally more run-focused than cycling anyway.)

I make my own, a riff on Green&Blacks flapjack recipe from their 2nd book, no cocoa powder, and added mixed seeds. And no drizzled chocolate, adjusted for a smaller bake too.  Pretty much every week for the past five years, second breakfast. Change the dried fruit, pears this week.
