What happens when a protein bar claims to taste like a favourite chocolate treat? On this week's Test It Out Thursday, we put the new Barebells Banana Dream Protein Bar through a real-world taste test to find out whether it delivers on flavour, texture and nutrition. With 16 grams of protein and no added sugar, it's attracting attention around the world, but is it worth buying? Fitness presenter, burnout and mental fitness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen joins us to give her honest verdict after trying the latest Barebells flavour. She shares what surprised her most, explains why protein has become such an important part of modern nutrition, and offers practical advice on reading food labels, choosing healthier convenience snacks and understanding when a protein bar fits into a balanced lifestyle. It's an informative conversation packed with evidence-based nutrition tips that every shopper can use.
