What’s your favorite protein/energy bar? Most companies claim to have “healthy” or “clean” protein/energy bars, but in reality they’re actually full of sugar, artificial ingredients and flavorings, unhealthy fats, and preservatives. Most “healthy” protein bars on the market are really just candy bars in disguise. If the “healthy” protein/energy bar flavor sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Although there’s lot of unhealthy bars on the market, there’s also some companies doing great things and making great bars! I’ll share below my criteria when choosing protein bars and my favorite brands at the moment!
My Criteria:
no refined sugar (just natural sugar or fruit sugar)
healthy protein sources
healthy fats only
no artificial sweeteners or flavors
gluten and dairy free
no inflammatory ingredients
whole food ingredients
My Favorite Brands:
RX Bar Protein Bar (my favorite bar!)
Epic Bar Performance Bar
Epic Bar Paleo Protein Bar
Rise Bar Protein Bar
Exo Protein Bar
Larabar Protein Bar
Go Raw Sprouted Protein Bar
Primal Kitchen Foods Almond Spice Protein Bar
Wild Zora Foods Meat and Veggie Bar
I highly recommend you check out these brands and their bars! I’m sure you’ll find something that works for you and your diet.
