— A NOTE FROM VOLK
I’ve been fighting at the top level for over a decade. One thing has never changed: what I put in my body matters.
Most protein bars didn’t meet my standard. I’d read the label and find sugar alcohols, artificial sweeteners, ingredients I couldn’t identify. Or I’d eat one and feel bloated for the rest of the afternoon. That’s not fuel. That’s a compromise.
So when CMBT came to me, I said: let’s build one that actually meets the standard I hold for everything else in my life. Zero sugar alcohols. All-natural ingredients. Prebiotics for gut health. Complete protein. And it has to taste good — because I’m a food guy, and if it doesn’t taste good, my name isn’t going on it.
This bar is what I eat. It’s what my wife eats. It’s what I throw in my bag before training and what I grab between the school run and the gym. It’s not a gym product. It’s a life product.
We could have taken shortcuts. Used sugar alcohols to keep costs down. Added artificial sweeteners for a sweeter taste. But that’s not how I operate — not in the octagon, not in the kitchen, and not with a product that carries my name.
The Volk Bar is built to my standard. I’m proud of it. And I think once you try it, you’ll understand why.
Every Ingredient. Every Reason.
We don’t hide behind proprietary blends. Here’s exactly what’s in The Volk Bar and why.

Questions? We've Got Answers.
What is The Volk Bar?
The Volk Bar is a 50g protein bar co-created by CMBT Nutrition and two-time UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski. It delivers 17.5g of complete protein, zero sugar alcohols, prebiotics for gut health, and all-natural ingredients. Available in three flavours: Choc Cherry, Choc Mint, and Choc Honeycomb.
What flavours are available?
Three flavours: Choc Cherry (rich dark chocolate with real cherry paste and coconut), Choc Mint (smooth chocolate with natural mint, white chocolate ganache, and almonds), and Choc Honeycomb (dark chocolate with real honeycomb pieces, caramel ganache, and almonds).
How big is each bar?
Each bar is 50g designed to be a substantial high-protein snack, not a tiny afterthought.
Where does the protein come from?
A complete blend of organic pea protein (27% of the formula), pea protein crisps, whey protein, and milk protein (in the ganache layer). This combination provides a full amino acid profile with excellent digestibility and high leucine content for muscle recovery.
What are sugar alcohols and why doesn’t The Volk Bar contain them?
Sugar alcohols (erythritol, maltitol, sorbitol) are sweeteners used in the majority of protein bars to keep sugar counts low. The problem? They’re osmotic laxatives that draw water into the intestine, causing bloating, gas, and cramping. They’re the number one reason consumers complain about protein bars. The Volk Bar uses monk fruit instead, eliminating this issue entirely.
Why use a pea and whey protein blend instead of just one?
The blend delivers the best of both worlds. Organic pea protein provides a strong plant-based protein base with a PDCAAS score of 0.89, while whey and milk protein in the ganache complete the amino acid profile particularly leucine, which is critical for muscle recovery. Together they create a complete protein source with superior digestibility.
What is monk fruit?
Monk fruit is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener derived from the luo han guo fruit. It provides sweetness without spiking blood sugar or causing the digestive discomfort associated with sugar alcohols. It’s approved by FSANZ (2018) and FDA (2014), and has no negative gut impact.
What are the prebiotics in The Volk Bar?
Each bar contains 5.1g of soluble fibre from tapioca (resistant dextrin), which acts as a prebiotic feeding beneficial gut bacteria and supporting digestive health. Unlike chicory inulin (used in many other bars), tapioca soluble fibre ferments slowly in the large intestine and doesn’t cause rapid gas production. It holds FDA GRAS status.
Is The Volk Bar vegan?
Sugar alcohols (maltitol, sorbitol, erythritol) are sweeteners in most protein bars. They’re the primary cause of bloating. We use monk fruit — natural, zero-calorie, no gut impact.
Does The Volk Bar contain any artificial sweeteners, colours, or flavours?
No. The Volk Bar contains zero artificial sweeteners, zero artificial colours, and zero artificial flavours. All flavours are derived from natural sources and are FSANZ-compliant. The chocolate comes from real cacao, and each flavour uses real ingredients: cherry paste, natural mint, real honeycomb pieces, coconut, and almonds.
Why is rice syrup in the ingredients?
Rice syrup is a structural ingredient. It holds the bar together and keeps it soft on the shelf. Without it (or sugar alcohols), protein bars harden within days. We chose rice syrup over sugar alcohols because it doesn’t cause gut distress, a deliberate trade-off for a better product and consumer experience. It’s not being used as a sweetener.
How much sugar is in each bar?
Between 5.4g and 5.9g per bar depending on the flavour. This sugar comes naturally from whole-food ingredients, not from added refined sugars like other brands that hide their true sugar content with label trickery.
Is The Volk Bar vegan?
No. All three flavours contain milk powder and whey protein in the ganache layer.
Is it vegetarian?
Choc Cherry and Choc Mint are vegetarian-friendly. Choc Honeycomb contains gelatine (in the honeycomb pieces) and is not suitable for vegetarian diets.
Is it gluten-free?
The bars don’t contain gluten ingredients, but they are manufactured in a facility that may process gluten. Check the packaging for the most current allergen information.
Does it contain nuts?
Choc Mint and Choc Honeycomb both contain almonds. Choc Cherry does not contain nuts but is produced in a facility that handles tree nuts. Always check the label for current allergen statements.
What allergens should I be aware of?
Allergens vary by flavour. All flavours contain milk. Choc Mint and Choc Honeycomb contain tree nuts (almonds). All bars are produced in a facility that may handle gluten, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, and eggs. Refer to individual packaging for the most accurate allergen information.
Can I eat The Volk Bar as a meal replacement?
It’s designed as a high-protein snack, not a meal replacement. At 50g with 17.5g protein, it’s ideal for bridging gaps between meals before or after training, on the school run, at the desk, or anywhere you need clean fuel. For full meals, pair it with whole foods.
