Perfect Keto Bars vs. Kiss My Keto: A Detailed Product Comparison

When I first started the keto diet a few years ago, I was surprised with the number of keto-friendly snack bar options on the market. There are so many products to choose from, especially keto snack bars. That’s good news for people who need convenient foods to support their weight loss journey and keep them fueled on the go.

However, not all products that are labeled “keto-friendly” keep you in ketosis. Others that do the job tend to sacrifice taste. One time I remember eating a keto bar (not mentioning any names here) and it had a strange aftertaste!

The best keto snack bars strike a balance of flavor, quality, and nutrition.

Today’s article is going to be a review of two popular keto-friendly bar brands: Perfect Keto and Kiss My Keto.

To help you make the best possible choice based on your goals and preferences, we’re going to look at these aspects: Ingredients, macros, flavors, taste and texture, price, and feedback from the keto community. Let’s dive in.

Perfect Keto bars are created by Perfect Keto, a company founded by Dr. Anthony Gustin who’s a certified sports chiropractor. On their product page, Perfect Keto said that their keto-friendly protein bars are portable and convenient, great tasting, and contain high quality ingredients that support ketosis.

According to Perfect Keto, their bars are keto diet friendly.

Looking at some of the ingredients listed, they’ve sweetened the bars using stevia and added organic coconut oil which has medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). When it comes to carb count, they mention that each Perfect Keto bar has only 2-3 grams of net carbs.

At a glance, you could tell that Perfect Keto and Kiss My Keto have worked hard to produce well-rounded, great keto-friendly snack bar products. But of course, every keto protein bar has its own key strengths and downsides.

The first step is to look at each bar closely, and then actually try it for yourself. More importantly, test your blood sugar and ketone levels to know your body’s reaction.

Here at Kiss My Keto, we use the following low carb keto-friendly ingredients for our keto bars:

• Chocolate Coconut bars: Tapioca Fiber Syrup, Coconut Oil, Whole Egg Powder, Almonds, Unsweetened Chocolate, Milk Protein Isolate, Inulin, Vegetable Glycerin, Egg White Protein, Erythritol, Cocoa Butter, Coconut, Cocoa Powder, Cacao Nibs, Natural Flavor, Gum Acacia, Sunflower Lecithin, Sea Salt, MCT Powder, Cashews, Stevia Extract, Vanilla Extract.

Perfect Keto store bars, on the other hand, list these low-carb, keto-friendly ingredients:

• Cinnamon Roll bars: Almond Butter, Soluble Tapioca Fiber, Grass-fed Bovine Collagen, Cacao Butter, Organic Cashews, Coconut Oil, Sunflower Lecithin, Cinnamon, Natural Flavors, MCT Oil Powder, Sea Salt, Stevia.
• Birthday Cake bars: Almond Butter, Soluble Tapioca Fiber, Grass-fed Bovine Collagen, Cacao Butter, Sunflower Lecithin, MCT Oil, Edible Glitter, MCT Oil Powder, Natural Flavors, Sea Salt, Organic Vanilla Extract, Monk Fruit Extract, Stevia.
• Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bars: Almond Butter, Soluble Tapioca Fiber, Grass-fed Bovine Collagen, 100% Cacao Chocolate Chips, Cacao Butter, Sunflower Lecithin, Coconut Oil, Organic Vanilla Extract, Natural Flavors, MCT Oil Powder, Sea Salt, Monk Fruit Extract, Stevia.

On the keto diet, your macronutrients should be 5% carbohydrates, 25% protein, and 70% calories. Your macro intake affects whether or not you enter ketosis, which is why it’s important to know and track your macros.

Kiss My Keto bars contain 230-240 calories per bar and the right balance of macros:

• Net carbs: 3g
• Fat: 18-19g
• Protein: 9g

Each Perfect Keto bar has 210-240 calories and macros that are close to Kiss My Keto’s:

• Net carbs: 1-3g
• Fat: 17-19g
• Protein: 10-13g

You can quickly tell that both brands have similar macronutrients. However, Kiss My Keto bars start at 18g of fat while Perfect Keto has a slightly higher protein content.

One type of fat to watch out for is trans fat, and that isn’t present in both Kiss My Keto and Perfect Keto store bars. That’s a huge advantage.

When it comes to the number of flavors to choose from, Perfect Keto has more options. Currently, they have 8 flavors that include Banana Bread, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Cinnamon Roll, Birthday Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Salted Caramel, Almond Butter Brownie, and Lemon Poppyseed.

Kiss My Keto features 3 classic flavors that are most sought after: Cookie Dough, Chocolate Coconut, and Peanut Butter. If you love chocolate, then these keto diet friendly bars can be a quick fix for your chocolate cravings.

Kiss My Keto bars do not cut corners when it comes to taste and texture. But don’t just take our word for it! Here’s what some of our customers have said:

• “Coming from someone who, prior to keto, could eat a tube of cookie dough, these satisfy that craving. They taste great!”
• “I purchased the cookie dough ones and the flavor was nice without any sort of unpleasant aftertaste, which can be common with some sweeteners.”
• “They have a creamy texture and a good bite to them. The chocolate on the outside can get a little flakey, so have a napkin nearby.”

Perhaps something to improve in the future is the number of flavors available. On the upside, it’s nice to know that Kiss My Keto bars have not received any complaint regarding a nasty aftertaste which a lot of keto snack bars have.

Perfect Keto bars have also received good feedback from their customers:

• “These bars were very tasty, with a great mouth feel. Enough to satisfy a sweet tooth and substantial enough to curb hunger.”
• “They are a bit crumbly and creamy at the same time. It wasn’t love at first bite…. but each bite gets strangely better and better and they’re actually pretty delicious.”
• “Unlike Quest bars, which I can crush in 3.7 seconds, this Almond Butter flavor is “richer” and I usually spend 10-15 mins nibbling on it. I like this difference; I enjoy my breakfast more.”

A downside we noticed with Perfect Keto bars is their crumbly texture. But if you’re someone who’s not easily bothered by texture, then these keto-friendly bar products are perfectly acceptable.

A box of 12 Kiss My Keto bars cost you only $35.99 regardless of the flavor, including the variety box. So, that’s about $2.99 per keto bar. Also, note that one serving size (1 keto bar) is 50 grams ― that’s big enough to fill you up.

On the other hand, Perfect Keto’s box of 12 keto-friendly protein bars costs $39.99 for any flavor. That’s $3.33 per keto bar. These low carb snacks are a bit more expensive than Kiss My Keto’s. Perfect Keto does not have a 12 count variety pack for the same price. However, they offer a 6-count variety pack for $22.99.

Each Perfect Keto bar or one serving size is 45 grams which is smaller than a Kiss My Keto bar.

Of course, what matters at the end of the day is whether people are satisfied with a product. Like any company, Perfect Keto and Kiss My Keto have a fair share of reviews from real customers with different opinions.

Kiss My Keto

The good:

• Wonderful taste: “These bars are really delicious and really helpful when you have sweet cravings.”
• Good texture: “The texture is better than expected with the good fats overcoming the usual dry chalkiness of some bars.”
• Affordable: “The variety was fun, easier on the wallet than buying 3 dozen bars at a time.”
• Balanced macros: “I’ve been looking for something for on the go when I don’t have time to cook that is made to specifically fit the macros we aim for.”

The bad:

• Can cause gas in some people: “The problem I am having is that they are causing me to be extremely gassy and causing some hurry-up bathroom issues.”

Perfect Keto

The good:

• Quality ingredients: “Perfect Keto always seems to source the cleanest ingredients without scary stuff that I can’t pronounce.”
• No sugar alcohols: “I have to be careful that there are no sugar alcohols in my foods b/c of a sensitivity. This has a hint of stevia.”

The bad:

• A bit pricey: “Wish the price was lower but worth it to satisfy my sweet tooth.”
• Crumbly texture: “As for the taste, they are rather dry, taste a little chalkier, and they are a little more crumbly than Bulletproof bars.”

The Bottom Line? Kiss My Keto bars and Perfect Keto bars stand out in their own unique ways. For example, the majority of Kiss My Keto customers applaud the bars for their taste, while Perfect Keto gets good comments mostly for their cleanest keto ingredients.

As more people get to know the keto diet and use it for their personal health and wellness, the demand for keto diet friendly snacks continues to increase. Especially keto-friendly bar products.

Kiss My Keto bars hit the mark with their taste that appeals to most people. Those who are coming from a standard, non-keto diet will most likely love these healthy bars. Not to mention, each 50-gram bar has a balanced macro ratio to keep you in ketosis. The price is reasonable too.

However, if you’re not a chocolate fan, Perfect Keto bars can be an alternative option with unique flavors like Lemon Poppyseed and Banana Bread.

At the end of the day, it’s a matter of personal taste and choice! Feel free to put these bars to the test and then you decide.
