Blueberries & Cream
TL:DR
In 2 Sentences
A real-fruit, cereal‑marshmallow format built from whey protein puffs—15g protein for 150 calories—without sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners. Blueberries and currants add pops of flavor you can actually see.
When to choose Promix Nutrition Blueberries & Cream
Reach for it as a pre‑workout or light afternoon snack when you want something crisp, not heavy. Also a fit if you prefer gluten‑free bars with no peanuts in the ingredients and a moderate 5g of sugar.
What's in the Promix Nutrition bar?
Promix Nutrition’s Blueberries & Cream Protein Bar leans into an airy, marshmallow‑meets‑cereal format built on PROMIX whey protein puffs, with a little egg white in the mix. That pairing delivers 15g of complete, fast‑digesting protein while keeping calories low (150) and fat modest (4g) thanks to the puffed structure and minimal oils.
The blueberry note isn’t just flavoring; blueberries, blueberry extractives, and small currant pieces bring real fruit to the party, while the marshmallow and dairy proteins supply the soft, creamy vibe.
Carbs sit in the middle at 16g, coming from a blend of tapioca syrup and starch for quick energy, balanced by soluble fibers (tapioca fiber and inulin) that tame the rush a bit.
Sugar lands at 5g from both fruit and the syrup—no artificial sweeteners here. Net effect: a light, fruity bar that eats like a treat but stays disciplined on calories and gets its protein from high‑quality dairy and egg sources.

Protein
1515MIDProtein here comes primarily from PROMIX whey protein puffs (a blend of whey isolate and concentrate) with a supporting boost from egg whites in the marshmallow. Whey isolate is very low in lactose and highly digestible; concentrate adds body, and egg whites are also a complete protein—so the 15g you get is quality and fast‑acting. If you avoid dairy or eggs, note that both are present.
Fat
49LOWOnly 4g fat, largely from small amounts of coconut oil (saturated) and sunflower oil (unsaturated) used for texture and melt. The low total keeps the bar light on calories, but it also means you’re not getting much of the slow‑burn satiety that comes with higher‑fat, nut‑based bars. If you want staying power, pair it with a handful of nuts or yogurt.
Carbs
1620MIDThe 16g of carbs are a mix of fast and slower sources. Tapioca syrup and a bit of tapioca starch provide quick energy, while soluble fibers—tapioca fiber (a resistant dextrin) and inulin from Jerusalem artichoke—help blunt the spike and add some body. Blueberries and currants contribute natural sugars and polyphenols, so expect a steadier rise than candy, but faster than an oat‑or‑nut‑heavy bar.
Sugar
54MIDSugar is a moderate 5g, coming from both the added tapioca syrup in the marshmallow and the fruit (blueberries and currants). Sweetness is rounded out by glycerin (a plant‑derived moisture holder) and soluble fibers, so there are no artificial sweeteners. The tradeoff is a cleaner sweetener list, though part of that sugar is refined rather than fruit‑only.
Calories
150210LOWAt 150 calories, this sits on the lighter end of protein bars. Most calories come from protein and moderate carbs, with very little from fat. Think snack or pre‑workout fuel rather than a full meal replacement.
Vitamins & Minerals
You get about 13% of daily calcium, mainly from added calcium carbonate in the whey puffs (with a small assist from dairy). Trace iron and potassium likely come from the fruit and proteins, but there aren’t other standout vitamin additions. It’s a quiet calcium boost without a chalky vibe thanks to the puff format.
Additives
A short roster of functional helpers keeps the texture spot‑on: sunflower lecithin to emulsify, glycerin to hold moisture, and agar (a seaweed‑derived gelling fiber) to set the marshmallow. Soluble tapioca fiber and inulin add fiber and help moderate carbs; they’re refined, but widely used and generally well tolerated in moderate amounts. Overall, it avoids artificial sweeteners and heavy sugar alcohols, though it does use a refined starch syrup for sweetness.

What are people saying?

Range
“I love these ProMix Protein Puff Bars. They taste kind of like a rice crispy bar. The chocolate chip is great. I also like the coconut, though the chocolate chip are better. I haven’t yet tried the other flavors.”
“I actually really like the promix bars because they don't taste super sweet (and I hate bars with artificial sweetener). I also find them more filling than other bars, probably bc they're not too sweet.”
“The promix are a little more bang for your calories”
Main Praise
Fans keep coming back for the texture and restraint. Multiple reviewers say it scratches that rice‑crispy itch without the candy‑bar sugar rush, and they appreciate the clean sweetness—no bitter aftertaste from sugar substitutes.
Editors at SELF named Promix a standout for crispy fun, and EatingWell and Health echoed the praise: satisfying crunch, 15 grams of protein, and flavors that read like breakfast cereal for adults.
On Reddit, several people noted it’s not cloying and, calorie for calorie, feels more filling than many chewier bars. The Blueberries & Cream spin adds real fruit flecks and a light, creamy note that suits the airy format.
It’s easy to toss in a gym bag and easy to digest before a workout.
Main Criticism
The biggest knock is texture. If you’re expecting marshmallow pull, this leans drier and a little grainier; a few Amazon buyers even called it crumbly with a faintly chalky finish.
One Reddit commenter felt the puffs were harder than puffed rice, and testers across outlets flagged that coconut oil’s flavor can peek through. It’s also a light bar—great for snacks, less ideal as a meal replacement—and inulin (a chicory/Jerusalem artichoke fiber) may bother sensitive stomachs.
Finally, some flavors hit better than others, and the “rice crispy” comparison can set expectations unrealistically high.
The Middle Ground
A lot of the divide is about expectations, not execution. If you read “crispy treat” and picture bakery‑counter goo, you’ll probably agree with the folks who found it dry or dense.
But if you want a crunchy, cereal‑inspired bar with real fruit and no sugar alcohols, this hits the brief—precisely because it uses a simple marshmallow‑style binder, soluble fibers, and whey puffs instead of nut pastes and syrups.
The 5g of sugar come from tapioca syrup and fruit, so you avoid the metallic aftertaste some bars pick up from artificial sweeteners; the tradeoff is a cleaner label that still relies on a refined syrup and fibers.
As for flavor quirks, the coconut note shows up for some palates, and inulin can be a wildcard for sensitive guts—that’s fair. The middle ground?
Call it what it is: a protein‑forward crispy bar with blueberry pops, not a dessert doppelgänger. Pair it with coffee, milk, or yogurt and it reads even better.
What's the bottom line?
In the “crisp” category, this is one of the stronger entries: efficient macros (15g protein, 150 calories, 4g fat, 16g carbs with 5g sugar), high‑quality protein (whey isolate/concentrate plus a touch of egg white), and a quiet bonus of about 13% of your daily calcium. Taste‑wise, Blueberries & Cream is bright and nostalgic without leaning fake, and the no‑artificial‑sweetener approach will be a relief if you’re tired of sugar alcohols. It won’t win everyone.
The texture skews dry rather than gooey, the coconut whisper is detectable, and dairy, egg, and coconut make it a no‑go for some. But if your checklist reads “light, crisp, real fruit, moderate sweetness, and a clean‑cut ingredient list,” Promix’s Blueberries & Cream belongs in your rotation. It’s the breakfast‑cereal bar that went to the gym—and remembered to bring snacks for the rest of us.
