Grenade Soft Core Protein Bar — 12 x 50g
The Protein Bar That Feels Like a Treat — Because It Actually Is One
Grenade has done it again. The brand behind the UK’s most popular protein bar has taken everything people love about indulgent confectionery and built it around a genuinely impressive nutritional profile.
Grenade Soft Core Golden Caramel is not a protein bar that tastes vaguely like caramel. It is a rich, buttery, multi-layered caramel experience — light and fluffy caramel flavour dough wrapped around a soft, gooey caramel flavour centre, all coated in smooth white chocolate — that happens to contain 15g of protein and less than 2g of sugar per bar.
This is Grenade’s most indulgent bar yet. And at 50g it is the perfectly satisfying size that hits the spot without going overboard.
The Soft Core Experience — Three Layers of Caramel Indulgence
What makes Grenade Soft Core genuinely different to every other protein bar on the market is the texture experience. This is not a standard chewy protein bar with a single flavour profile. It is a three-layer confectionery-style creation:
The outer coating — smooth white chocolate made with real cocoa butter and whole milk powder. A premium coating that feels and tastes like a quality chocolate bar rather than a synthetic protein bar shell.
The dough layer — light and fluffy caramel flavour dough that gives the bar its unique soft, pillowy texture. Unlike the dense, chewy texture of most protein bars, the Soft Core dough is genuinely light and enjoyable to eat.
The Soft Core centre — a rich, buttery caramel flavour filling at the heart of every bar. Warm, indulgent, and satisfying — the kind of caramel centre that makes you slow down and actually enjoy every bite.
Three distinct layers. One genuinely exceptional eating experience. And 15g of protein with less than 2g of sugar throughout.
The Protein Blend — Quality Inside as Well as Out
Grenade Soft Core uses a dual protein blend that combines two complementary dairy protein sources:
Calcium Caseinate — a slow-digesting milk protein that releases amino acids gradually over several hours. Supports sustained muscle recovery and keeps you feeling fuller for longer after the bar — making it an excellent between-meal protein option.
Whey Protein Concentrate — a fast-absorbing protein with a high biological value that delivers amino acids quickly. Supports immediate muscle protein synthesis particularly around training.
The combination of fast and slow releasing proteins means Soft Core provides both immediate and sustained muscle support — more complete than a single-source protein bar.
Bovine Collagen Hydrolysate is also included — a fast-absorbing collagen peptide that supports joint health, connective tissues, and skin alongside the performance proteins in the blend.

Nutritional Information
Per 50g bar:
| Nutrient | Per Bar (50g) |
| Calories | 186 kcal |
| Protein | 15g |
| Carbohydrates | 19g |
| of which Sugars | 1.8g |
| of which Polyols | 16g |
| Fat | 8.2g |
| of which Saturates | 4.6g |
| Fibre | 1.7g |
| Salt | 0.15g |
186 calories. 15g protein. Less than 2g of sugar. For a bar that tastes this indulgent those numbers are genuinely impressive.
The low sugar content is achieved through the use of Maltitols — sugar alcohols that provide sweetness without the blood sugar impact of regular sugar. The high polyol content (16g) is worth noting — excessive consumption of polyols can cause digestive discomfort in some people, which is why the packaging recommends not consuming in excessive quantities.

People who find standard protein bars too chewy or dense — the light fluffy dough and soft caramel centre create a completely different texture experience to traditional protein bars. If you have been put off by the texture of bars in the past this is worth trying.
Post-workout snacking — the dual protein blend including fast-absorbing whey supports immediate post-workout muscle recovery at just 186 calories.
Between meal protein support — the slow-releasing caseinate component keeps you satisfied and provides sustained amino acid delivery between meals.
Gym bag and on the go nutrition — compact, portable, and requires zero preparation. A Grenade Soft Core bar in your gym bag means you always have a quality protein snack available.
Women — the low sugar, moderate calorie, and high protein combination makes this an excellent snack option for women managing body composition. The white chocolate and caramel combination is also one of the most universally appealing flavour profiles available in the protein bar category.
Grenade Carb Killa fans — if you already love the original Grenade bars, Soft Core offers a completely different texture experience from the same trusted brand. Worth adding to your rotation alongside the classics.
How Does Grenade Soft Core Compare to Grenade Carb Killa?
Both bars are from Grenade and both deliver impressive protein content with low sugar. Here is how they differ:
Grenade Carb Killa — the original and most popular Grenade bar. Chewy, dense texture with a chocolate coating and various flavour fillings. Typically 20g of protein per bar and a wider range of flavours.
Grenade Soft Core — the new, more indulgent option. Light and fluffy dough with a gooey soft centre and white chocolate coating. 15g of protein per bar. Fewer flavours currently available but a genuinely unique texture experience that feels more like premium confectionery than a standard protein bar.
Which should you choose?
Choose Carb Killa if you want more protein per bar and the widest flavour variety.
Choose Soft Core if you want a more indulgent, confectionery-style eating experience with a lighter, fluffier texture and a premium white chocolate caramel combination.
Both are available at Muscle Products Store with fast UK delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much protein is in a Grenade Soft Core bar?
Each 50g bar contains 15g of protein from a blend of Calcium Caseinate, Whey Protein Concentrate, and Bovine Collagen Hydrolysate.
How much sugar is in a Grenade Soft Core bar?
Less than 2g of sugar per 50g bar. The sweetness comes primarily from Maltitols — sugar alcohols that provide sweetness without the blood sugar impact of regular sugar.
What is the difference between Soft Core and Carb Killa?
Soft Core has a lighter, fluffier dough texture and a gooey soft centre — closer to premium confectionery than a traditional protein bar. Carb Killa has a denser, chewier texture and typically delivers more protein per bar. Both are excellent — the choice comes down to texture preference.
What does Grenade Soft Core taste like?
Rich, buttery caramel throughout — from the fluffy dough to the gooey centre — with a smooth white chocolate coating. It is genuinely indulgent and much closer to a premium sweet treat than a typical protein supplement.
Is Grenade Soft Core suitable for vegetarians?
The bar contains Bovine Collagen Hydrolysate which is derived from cattle. It is therefore not suitable for vegans. It contains dairy proteins (Calcium Caseinate and Whey Protein Concentrate from milk) and is not suitable for those with dairy allergies. Suitable for vegetarians who consume dairy.
Can children eat Grenade Soft Core bars?
No — Grenade Soft Core bars are not suitable for children under the age of 14.
How many bars can I eat per day?
The packaging recommends not consuming excessively as the polyol content (Maltitols) can cause laxative effects in some people when consumed in large quantities. One to two bars per day is a sensible approach for most people.
Where is the best place to buy Grenade Soft Core bars in the UK?
Grenade Soft Core bars are available at Muscle Products Store in a box of 12 with fast UK delivery, competitive pricing, and Muscle Points earned on every purchase.
