What is the Grenade Carb Killa bar?
The Grenade Carb Killa is a single 60 g protein bar, built in three layers and coated in sweetened milk chocolate. It provides 23.2 g of protein and 214 kcal, which places it among the highest-protein bars in our protein bars range.
The protein comes from three milk fractions: calcium caseinate, milk protein isolate and whey protein isolate. The bar also contains 18.3% hydrolysed bovine gelatine, a figure declared by the manufacturer and one that has a direct consequence: this is not a vegetarian product. The rest of the list comprises polydextrose, glycerol, soya crispies, cocoa butter, skimmed milk powder, palm oil, three sweeteners (maltitol, xylitol, sucralose), flavourings, fat-reduced cocoa and soya lecithin. The flavours stocked: White Chocolat, Caramel, Cookie Dough, Peanut Nutter, Salted Peanut, Caramel Salé, Fudged Up, Oreo and Oreo White. The rest of the line-up is gathered in the Grenade collection.
What does a 60 g Carb Killa bar contain?
| Nutrient | Per 100 g* | Per 60 g bar | % NRV |

* Column recalculated from the declaration per 60 g bar. ** No nutrient reference value is established for these nutrients. *** The “of which sugars” line is not broken down in the manufacturer data we hold, and we will not be reconstructing it. The packaging carries a reduced sugar content: refer to the label of the flavour you buy.
Two nutrition claims can be verified against these figures. Protein accounts for around 43% of the bar's energy value, which comfortably clears the regulatory threshold for the “high protein” claim. And at 11.2 g of fibre per 100 g, the bar clears the 6 g per 100 g threshold for the “high fibre” claim. Those are the only two statements of that kind we make on this page, because they are the only two the figures support.
When and how should you eat a Carb Killa?
- Serving: 1 bar of 60 g.
- Volume of liquid: the manufacturer prescribes none.
- Timing: within the 30 minutes after training, or as a snack between meals when the next meal is still a long way off.
- Frequency: 1 bar a day at most, following the manufacturer's recommendation.
- Duration: no course length is stated. A protein bar is a food, not a course.
Two practical points. If you digest polyols poorly, start with half a bar: the manufacturer explicitly recommends it. And once opened, the bar should be eaten within 48 hours; the chocolate coating copes badly with heat, which makes it a poor fit for a gym bag left in a car in summer. Our other snack formats can be found in our protein snacks range.
Who is the Carb Killa for, and who is it not for?
It suits you if you are after a portable protein hit, with no shaker and no water, for a working day, a trip or a late finish at the gym.
It is not suitable in four specific situations. If you are vegetarian or vegan: the 18.3% hydrolysed bovine gelatine rules it out, unambiguously. If you are allergic to milk or soya: both are declared as allergens, and the facility also handles gluten, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and eggs. If you tolerate polyols poorly: the bar contains more than 10 g per 100 g, which triggers the regulatory statement “excessive consumption may produce laxative effects”. If you are diabetic: the manufacturer asks you to monitor your blood sugar despite the reduced sugar content, and that question is settled with your doctor, not with a product page.
The manufacturer also advises against it for under-18s and asks women who are pregnant or breastfeeding to consult a healthcare professional.
What you should not expect from it: at 214 kcal, a Carb Killa is a snack, not a meal replacement, and it will not make you lose weight. It usefully replaces a confectionery bar; it does not replace a dinner.
Carb Killa bar or a whey shake?
Both provide a comparable amount of protein, but they do not solve the same problem.
The bar wins on convenience. Nothing to measure out, nothing to wash, nothing to mix, and you can eat it on a train. It is the only format that fits in a pocket.
The shake wins on density and on cost. A serving of whey isolate provides an equivalent amount of protein for markedly fewer calories, with no fat and no polyols, and the price per gram of protein is in another league. If you are in a calorie deficit, the shake is mathematically the better choice, and our weight loss range starts from the same reasoning.
If it is the indulgent side that appeals to you rather than the bar format, protein cookies play on the same ground with different textures. And to build your baseline intake, the protein range is the one to look at first.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Grenade Carb Killa vegetarian?
No. It contains 18.3% hydrolysed bovine gelatine, an ingredient of animal origin. This is the most common question about this product and the answer is no, whatever the flavour.
How much sugar does a Carb Killa contain?
The “of which sugars” line is not broken down in the data the manufacturer has sent us, and we are not going to invent it. What we can state: 13.6 g of carbohydrate and 6.7 g of fibre per bar. The exact sugar figure is on the wrapper of each flavour.
Why can the bar cause bloating?
It contains more than 10 g of polyols per 100 g, which triggers the regulatory statement about the laxative effects of excessive consumption. Starting with half a bar is the manufacturer's recommendation for sensitive individuals.
Which flavour should you try first?
The caramel and peanut profiles are the fullest in flavour, the white chocolate and Oreo profiles the sweetest on the palate. If you cannot decide, take two different ones: at 60 g apiece, trying them costs little.
Can you eat several a day?
The manufacturer sets the limit at one bar a day. Beyond that, you are stacking up polyols, fat and calories with no extra protein benefit compared with a less processed protein source.
Does the bar contain palm oil?
Yes, palm oil appears in the ingredients list. We hold no verified information about its origin or its supply chain, and so we will write nothing further about it.
Does it keep well in summer?
Badly. The chocolate coating melts, and the manufacturer asks for storage in a cool, dry place, away from heat and moisture. A bar forgotten in a car in the sun will be inedible.
Where can you buy Grenade Carb Killa bars?
Carb Killa bars are available individually on this page, in the flavours stocked, and in our Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier. It is the kind of product that is better bought in store the first time: you leave with two different flavours rather than a whole box of one you do not like.
We ship throughout France and Europe.
What is Grenade Protein Spread?
It is a spread formulated with whey protein concentrate and sweetened with maltitol instead of sugar. It provides 20 g of protein per 100 g and 1.8 g of sugars per 33 g serving. The flavours listed: Salted Caramel, Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate Cookies and Hazel Nutter.
The ingredient list for the milk chocolate version is short: vegetable oil (rapeseed and palm), maltitol as the sweetener, whey protein concentrate, skimmed milk powder, 7% fat-reduced cocoa, lecithins as the emulsifier and natural vanilla flavouring. The manufacturer describes its palm oil as sustainable; we report that statement exactly as it publishes it, without having verified it.
The principle is easy to grasp: the sugar in a conventional spread is replaced by a polyol, and part of the dry matter by milk protein. What you end up with is still a spread — fatty, dense, calorie-rich — and that is the first thing to take on board. The British brand's full range is in our Grenade section, and the category as a whole under protein snacks.
What does a 33 g serving contain?
| Nutrient | Per 33 g serving | Per 100 g |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 711 kJ / 172 kcal | 2,154 kJ / 520 kcal |
| Fat | 13.0 g | 38.0 g |
| of which saturates | 3.0 g | 9.0 g |
| Carbohydrate | 12.0 g | 35.0 g |
| of which sugars | 1.8 g | 5.6 g |
| of which polyols | 10.0 g | 29.0 g |
| Fibre | 0.9 g | 2.8 g |
| Protein | 7.0 g | 20.0 g |
| Salt | 0.07 g | 0.21 g |
These values relate to the milk chocolate version. The manufacturer indicates that they vary slightly from one flavour to another; the net weight of the jar is not included in the data supplied, so we cannot work out the number of servings.
The line that explains this entire product is the one for polyols: 29 g per 100 g. Maltitol takes the place that sugar would occupy in an ordinary spread, and that is what brings the sugars down to 5.6 g per 100 g, against around thirty grams for a supermarket product. The gap is real and verifiable.
But read the line above it: 520 kcal and 38 g of fat per 100 g. A conventional spread sits at around 540 kcal. In other words, the sugar has changed, not the calorie density. This product solves a sugar problem, not a calorie problem, and you should buy it knowing that.
One point of regulatory vocabulary is worth stating plainly. The 20 g of protein account for 80 kcal out of the product's 520, or 15.4% of the energy value. The threshold for the “source of protein” claim is 12%: it is cleared. The threshold for “high protein” is 20%: it is not. This spread is therefore a source of protein, not a high-protein spread, and the distinction is not cosmetic. The wording that may be used remains: protein contributes to a growth in and the maintenance of muscle mass.
How should you use Protein Spread?
Dose: 33 g, or roughly two heaped teaspoons. Base: wholemeal bread, pancakes, rice cakes, a bowl of oats. Timing: breakfast or as a snack. Frequency: one serving a day is a sensible benchmark. Duration: none, it is a food; use within three months of opening.
Storage calls for two specific habits, and they are not optional. Keep the jar between 15 and 22 °C and above all do not put it in the fridge: in the cold the spread hardens and becomes impossible to spread. And stir before use: oil separating out at the surface is normal in a spread with no stabilising additive, and it blends back in with thirty seconds of a spoon.
On the serving size, a word of honesty. Thirty-three grams is not much — two teaspoons. Eating it with a spoon straight from the jar, you go past 60 or 80 g very quickly, which is 300 to 400 kcal. The one habit that changes everything: serve yourself onto a plate rather than eating over the jar.
In the kitchen it takes a few seconds of heating quite happily, for drizzling over protein pancakes or a bowl of oats. It also works into a cake batter, bearing in mind that polyols cope poorly with long baking at high temperatures.
Who is this spread for, and who is it not for?
It suits those who like something sweet at breakfast and are looking to bring their sugars down without giving up the pleasure. It also suits those following a flexible diet who would rather build a treat in than cave in on a whole jar on a Sunday evening.
It contains MILK, in two forms: whey protein concentrate and skimmed milk powder. Traces of GLUTEN, SOYA and NUTS are possible. It is therefore suitable neither for vegans nor for people allergic to milk proteins.
The most important statement concerns the polyols: excessive consumption may produce laxative effects. That sentence is mandatory from 10% polyols onwards, and at 29 g per 100 g we are a very long way above that. In practice: a 33 g serving delivers 10 g of maltitol, which most people tolerate without any trouble. Three servings in a day, or 30 g of polyols, and many will have an unpleasant time of it. If you are affected by irritable bowel syndrome, serious caution is called for.
What you should not expect from it, and this is the most useful point on this page: it is not a weight-loss product. At 520 kcal per 100 g, it sits at the level of a conventional spread. Nor is it a source of protein in the sense you have in mind: 7 g per serving does not replace a shake, and you would have to eat 125 g of it — 650 kcal — to match the protein in a serving of whey. What it does well is replace a sweet spread with the same thing containing far fewer sugars. Nothing more, and that is already useful.
Protein spread or peanut butter?
This is the comparison that settles it, and it is closer than it looks.
A plain peanut butter generally provides 25 to 30 g of protein per 100 g, with no sweetener, no polyol and a single ingredient. It is the better choice if your priority is a simple composition or the protein content, and if your gut does not cope with polyols. Its calories, on the other hand, are higher still, around 600 kcal per 100 g, and it tastes nothing like chocolate.
Protein Spread wins on one front only, but it is the one that triggers the purchase: it answers a craving for something sweet, which a plain peanut butter does not. If your problem is the spread in the cupboard at 30 g of sugars per 100 g, this is a direct and effective replacement. If your problem is your calorie total for the day, neither one will solve it, and you should be looking at zero-sugar jam, which is far less dense. For a genuine protein snack, it is our protein bars or a protein shake you should choose, not a spread.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really lower in calories than a conventional spread?
Barely. This product comes in at 520 kcal per 100 g, a supermarket spread at around 540. The real difference is in the sugars — 5.6 g against around thirty grams — not in the calories. Buy it for that reason, not to lose weight.
What is maltitol, and is it a problem?
It is a polyol, a bulk sweetener that replaces sugar by volume. At 29 g per 100 g, the regulatory statement applies: excessive consumption may produce laxative effects. A 33 g serving delivers 10 g of polyols, generally well tolerated; three servings in a day, much less so.
How much protein is there in a serving?
Seven grams per 33 g of spread. It is a top-up, not a main source: you would have to eat 125 g of it to equal a serving of whey, or 650 kcal. Treat those 7 g as a bonus on a slice of toast, not as a building block of your daily protein total.
Should it be kept in the fridge?
Definitely not, and it is the instruction most often ignored. The manufacturer asks that the jar be kept between 15 and 22 °C: in the cold the spread hardens and becomes impossible to spread. Use within three months of opening.
Why is there oil floating on the surface?
It is natural separation, flagged by the manufacturer, and not a fault. Stir the spread with a spoon before each use to blend the oil back in. A spread that never separates generally contains more stabilisers.
Is it suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
For vegetarians yes, for vegans no. The formula contains whey protein concentrate and skimmed milk powder, two dairy ingredients. Nor is it suitable in cases of milk protein allergy.
Do the flavours all have the same values?
No, the manufacturer states that the figures vary slightly from recipe to recipe: the table on this page relates to the milk chocolate version. Hazel Nutter and White Chocolate Cookies differ more, the former because of its nut content. Refer to the label on the jar you receive.
Where can you buy Grenade Protein Spread?
The flavours can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. This is a cupboard product rather than a supplement: it keeps for three months after opening, so there is no point stockpiling five jars.
At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, this is one of the aisles where we talk people out of buying more often than we sell. The question we ask is always the same: how often do you open the jar? One serving a day is a well-managed treat; three is 500 kcal and 30 g of polyols, and that is no longer the same product at all.
Who is Grenade?
Grenade is a British brand founded in 2010 by Alan and Juliet Barratt, headquartered in Solihull, West Midlands. In a decade, it has established itself as a European leader in protein bars, expanding beyond specialized aisles to service stations and British snack sections.
In March 2021, the Mondelēz International group—owner of many confectionery brands—acquired a majority stake in the company. This explains Grenade's current positioning: the brand no longer targets only bodybuilders but a much wider audience seeking a sweeter, lower-sugar alternative.
Carb Killa or Grenade Protein Bar: What's the difference?
None, and that's the first thing to know if you're looking for a Grenade Carb Killa. In September 2022, the brand officially rebranded its Carb Killa bar as Grenade Protein Bar. The historical name is still widely used—by customers, retailers, and search engines—but it refers to the same product, with the same structure and flavors.
In practice: if you type "Carb Killa," you're looking for Grenade's triple-layer protein bar. Depending on the manufacturing date and market, the packaging will bear one name or the other. There are not two different ranges.
What is the Grenade range worth?
What Grenade excels at is texture. This is where the game is played, and it's the area where the brand has taken the lead: a soft base, a crispy layer, a chocolate coating, resulting in a product that eats more like a confection than a supplement. Many competitors achieve the same protein content; few achieve the same texture.
What it does less well: everything else in the aisle. Grenade is not a powder brand, and its presence in France is mainly limited to snacking. If you're looking for a protein powder or a booster, this is not the place to look.
What are the flagship Grenade products we sell?
The Carb Killa bar
The product that made the brand. A 60g bar providing 23g of protein and less than 2g of sugar, for approximately 214 kcal. The proteins come from several dairy sources—calcium caseinate, milk protein isolate, whey isolate—which allows for extended assimilation. The sweet taste is achieved with polyols and sweeteners, mainly maltitol and xylitol.
One point deserves to be stated unequivocally: "less than 2g of sugar" does not mean "low calorie". At 214 kcal, a Carb Killa bar weighs about as much as a classic chocolate bar. Its value lies in its protein-to-calorie ratio, not its lightness: it's a good snack to tide you over until the next meal, not a free-volume diet food. Compare it to other protein bars in the aisle.
The Protein Spread
The brand's protein spread, formulated with whey concentrate, about 20% protein, with maltitol instead of sugar. It comes in several chocolate variations. It's more of a pleasure product than a performance one: it sweetens a pancake or toast without exploding sugar intake, but it remains fatty and caloric, like any spread. If the goal is to reduce calories, an additive-free peanut butter or a zero-sugar jam play a different role.
Our reseller opinion
What works. The Carb Killa remains one of the few protein bars you eat out of desire, not just discipline. The manufacturing consistency is good, the flavor choice is wide, and the protein-to-sugar ratio is truly well maintained.
The main limitation, and it's a real one: the Grenade selection we stock is very tight, and entirely focused on snacking. You won't build your supplementation around this brand with us. It complements an aisle, it doesn't structure it—and we prefer to say so rather than give the impression of a complete range.
Two additional reservations. First, polyols: the maltitol used in large quantities in these products is poorly tolerated by some, and regulations require stating that excessive consumption of polyols can have laxative effects. One bar is fine for most people; two or three a day, much less so. Second, the price: Grenade is priced as an established brand, and other bars in our aisle offer a better protein-to-price ratio.
Grenade or Warrior?
This is the most useful comparison: two brands targeting the same consumption occasion with opposite philosophies. Warrior is also British, but built on value for money: comparable triple-layer bar, slightly less protein, even wider flavor choice, significantly lower price. Grenade plays on established reputation and texture.
In practice: if you consume a bar occasionally and want the best taste experience, Grenade. If you eat several a week and budget matters, Warrior. And if you're looking for a different nutritional profile—fewer polyols, more fiber—look at PhD Nutrition or our other protein snacks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Grenade a good brand?
Yes, for protein bars, where it is one of the best on the market in terms of texture and consistency. Outside of snacking, it doesn't have much to offer and it's better to look elsewhere.
What is their best product?
The Carb Killa bar, no discussion. It's the historic product, the most accomplished, and the reason the brand exists.
How many Grenade bars can one eat per day?
One, in the vast majority of cases, and as a substitute for another snack rather than in addition. Two limitations combine. The first is caloric: at 214 kcal per unit, two bars add over 400 kcal to the day, which is enough to erase a moderate deficit. The second is digestive: these bars rely on maltitol and xylitol, and the accumulation of polyols in a single day causes bloating, gas, and sometimes more. A travel day might justify two; beyond that, meal structure needs to be re-evaluated.
Which Carb Killa flavor to choose?
Chocolate and caramel profiles are the most consensual, and these are where the brand's texture work is best expressed. White or milky flavors bring out the sweeteners more, lacking the bitterness of cocoa to balance them, and are much more divisive. Our advice is simple: buy two or three units of different flavors before committing to a box of twelve. In this category, taste is everything, and it cannot be read on any product sheet.
Does the Carb Killa contain gluten and allergens?
It contains milk, and depending on the flavors, soy, tree nuts, or peanuts—or traces thereof. Several references also contain wheat in the crispies, hence gluten. Recipes differ from one flavor to another and evolve over time: in case of a confirmed allergy or intolerance, only the label on the bar you hold is authoritative, even for a flavor you have already consumed.
Where to buy Grenade Carb Killa in France?
From specialized sports nutrition retailers, both online and in-store. Distribution in French supermarkets remains very partial, and the range of flavors is more limited there. We stock them in our store and ship throughout France.
Can a Carb Killa bar replace a meal?
No. It provides protein and calories, but not the micronutrient and fiber balance of a proper meal. Use it as a snack, not as a substitute. If you have weight loss goals or a medical condition, speak to your doctor or a dietitian.
Do Grenade bars make you gain weight?
No single food makes you gain weight in isolation: it's the daily caloric balance that matters. At 214 kcal, a bar can easily fit into a weight loss plan if it replaces another snack. It becomes a problem if it's added on top.
How to recognize an authentic product?
Go through a declared reseller and beware of classic signs: prices well below market, labeling without French mentions, very short expiry date, seller without a physical address. We source through the official channel.
Are Grenade products suitable for tested athletes?
No supplement can be considered risk-free by default. If you are subject to anti-doping controls, check batch by batch with the manufacturer and refer to the AFLD prohibited substances list. We do not claim any third-party anti-doping certification for this range.
Is Grenade available near Montpellier?
Yes. Carb Killa bars and the spread are available on the shelves of our store in Vendargues, about ten minutes from Montpellier. For bars, visiting the store has a concrete advantage: buying one unit of two or three flavors before committing to a whole box.
If you cannot visit, the selection can be ordered online and we ship throughout France and Europe. You will find it alongside our sugar-free grocery and our protein cookies.
Food supplements are part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. They do not substitute for medical advice.

Questions fréquentes — Grenade
Grenade, c'est une bonne marque ?
Oui, et c'est l'une des meilleures du marché sur les barres protéinées : texture, constance de fabrication et rapport protéines-sucres. C'est une marque de spécialiste du snacking, et c'est exactement ce qu'on lui demande.
Quel est leur meilleur produit ?
La barre Carb Killa, sans discussion. C'est le produit historique, le plus abouti, et celui pour lequel la marque existe.
Combien de barres Grenade peut-on manger par jour ?
Une, dans la grande majorité des cas, et à la place d'une autre collation plutôt qu'en plus. Deux repères à garder en tête. Le premier est calorique : à 214 kcal l'unité, une barre se compte dans la journée comme toute collation. Le second est digestif : ces barres reposent sur du maltitol et du xylitol, et il est préférable de ne pas accumuler les polyols sur une même journée. Une journée de déplacement peut en justifier deux.
Quel parfum de Carb Killa choisir ?
Les profils chocolatés et caramélisés sont les plus consensuels, et ce sont ceux où le travail de texture de la marque s'exprime le mieux. Les saveurs blanches ou lactées ont un registre plus doux, qui a aussi ses inconditionnels. Notre conseil est simple : prenez deux ou trois unités de parfums différents avant d'engager une boîte de douze. Sur ce rayon, le goût décide de tout, et il ne se lit sur aucune fiche produit.
La Carb Killa contient-elle du gluten et des allergènes ?
Elle contient du lait, et selon les saveurs du soja, des fruits à coque ou des arachides — ou des traces de ces derniers. Plusieurs références contiennent également du blé dans les crispies, donc du gluten. Les recettes diffèrent d'un parfum à l'autre et évoluent dans le temps : en cas d'allergie ou d'intolérance avérée, seule l'étiquette de la barre que vous avez en main fait foi, même sur un parfum que vous avez déjà consommé.
Où acheter des Grenade Carb Killa en France ?
Chez les détaillants spécialisés en nutrition sportive, en ligne comme en magasin, où l'assortiment de saveurs est le plus large. Nous les référençons en rayon et nous expédions partout en France.
Comment intégrer une Carb Killa dans la journée ?
En collation : après la séance, en fin d'après-midi, ou sur une journée de déplacement. Ses 23 g de protéines pour 214 kcal en font une pause qui tient jusqu'au repas suivant. Pour structurer une journée alimentaire complète, un diététicien reste le meilleur interlocuteur ; en cas d'objectif de perte de poids ou de pathologie, parlez-en à votre médecin.
Les barres Grenade font-elles grossir ?
Non : c'est le bilan calorique de la journée qui compte. À 214 kcal, une barre s'intègre très bien dans un plan de perte de poids quand elle remplace une autre collation — et ses 23 g de protéines la rendent nettement plus rassasiante qu'une confiserie équivalente.
Les produits Grenade conviennent-ils aux sportifs contrôlés ?
Si vous êtes soumis aux contrôles antidopage, vérifiez lot par lot auprès du fabricant et référez-vous à la liste des substances interdites de l'AFLD. Nous ne revendiquons aucune certification antidopage tierce sur cette gamme.
