What are the most popular Built bar flavors?
1. Peanut Butter Cup Puff: This is the classic combo people never get tired of: a chocolatey center with a sweet peanut‑buttery coating. Built calls it “Peanut Butter Puff reimagined,” and it’s easy to see why it’s a staple. 17g protein, 150 calories.
2. Cookie Dough Chunk Puff: For anyone who’s ever said, “I just want dessert,” this one literally includes chewy cookie dough chunks on top of a soft, marshmallow‑like center, all under a chocolatey shell. 15g protein, 160 calories.
3. Brownie Batter Puff: Built’s “most popular chocolatey Puff” is basically fudgy brownie vibes with that signature fluffy texture and chocolatey coating. It’s the pick for chocolate loyalists who don’t want to gamble on anything fruity. 17g protein, 140 calories.
4. Lemon Meringue Pie Puff (Limited Release): This one is for the “I like my sweets bright” crowd: a lemony center with a smooth lemon coating, still in that airy Puff texture. Think dessert‑case energy, not sour‑candy energy. 16g protein, 140 calories.
5. Strawberries ‘N Cream Puff: If you like your snacks sweet and a little bit “treat‑yourself,” this one leans into a fruity strawberry tang wrapped in a milk‑chocolatey coating. It’s a fun “dessert break” flavor that still feels light. 15g protein, 140 calories.
6. S’mores Chunk Puff: This one is basically your campfire craving in a box: a fluffy center topped with graham cookie chunks and covered in a milk‑chocolatey coating. It’s nostalgic, cozy, and somehow still totally office‑appropriate. 15g protein, 160 calories.
7. Mint Chip Puff: For mint‑chocolate fans, this is the “refreshing but still rich” pick. Built describes it as the balance of rich chocolate + refreshing mint with that airy center and chocolatey shell. 17g protein, 140 calories.
