My issue with most protein bars is that they don’t keep me full for very long – and I don’t usually fine them satisfying.
HOWEVER! Protein bars ARE convenient, pre-packaged into single servings (generally), and are usually non-perishable – meaning you can keep them in your purse or schoolbag for months!
I’ve personally found these below taste best AND have pretty clean, recognizable ingredients. Here’s my go-to list!
ThinkThin
150-Calorie Bars
Good tasting, good texture, and smaller than most other bars
Calories: 150 // Protein: 10gm // Sugar: 5gm
Larabars
Clean, MINIMAL ingredients!
For original bars – Calories: 190-200 // Protein: 4-5gm // Sugar: 17-18gm (0-3 gm added sugar)
P.S. if you want a smaller bite, they make kid’s size Larabars!
That’s It Bars
The ONLY ingredients in these bars are dried fruit and vegetables… pretty amazing!
For fruit bars – Calories: 100 // Protein: 1gm // Sugar: 19gm (no added sugar!)
Kind Bar Minis
I love these minis for when you just need a little bite of something to tide you over.
Calories: 100 // Protein: 3gm // Sugar: 3gm (2 gm added sugar)
A note: the nutrition facts are just for 1 example bar, but other bars by these brands are fairly similar nutritionally!
