Frequently Asked Questions
How can Grenade Carb Killa bars taste so good with only 1.4g of sugar?
Grenade uses a combination of sugar alcohols (which provide sweetness with minimal glycemic impact), high-quality fibre, and real chocolate coatings to achieve the taste and texture of a conventional chocolate bar. The sweetness comes from sugar-free sweetening systems rather than sucrose or glucose, and Grenade's manufacturing process is specifically engineered to produce the gooey, satisfying texture you expect from a premium confectionery bar — not the dry, chalky texture of most protein bars.
What are 'impact carbs' and why is the number different from total carbohydrates?
Impact carbs (also called net carbs) are calculated by subtracting fibre and sugar alcohol content from total carbohydrates. Fibre passes through the digestive system without being absorbed as glucose, and most sugar alcohols have a very low glycemic impact. Grenade Carb Killa bars have approximately 14g total carbohydrates but only around 1.5g of impact carbs — the rest is fibre and sugar alcohols that don't meaningfully spike blood sugar.
Are Grenade Carb Killa bars suitable for people with lactose intolerance?
Grenade Carb Killa bars contain milk protein and are not suitable for people with dairy allergies. They may contain lower levels of lactose than liquid dairy products due to the protein isolation process, but they are not confirmed lactose-free. Anyone with a dairy allergy or severe lactose intolerance should avoid these bars. Check the label of your specific flavour for the full allergen statement.
Are there any flavours that don't contain nuts or peanuts?
Allergen content varies significantly between Grenade Carb Killa flavours. Some flavours like Caramel Chaos are made without peanuts or tree nuts, while others like White Chocolate Salted Peanut explicitly contain peanuts. The manufacturing facility may process multiple allergens. Always read the specific flavour label carefully before purchasing if you have a nut or peanut allergy — do not rely on general product-level information.
