*This is a personal opinion rating*
And it’s based on ingredients, taste, and how much protein you’re actually getting for the calories, not brand loyalty.
👀It’s important to note that not all protein bars are created equal.
Some work really well as a convenient way to get protein in💪🏻
Others are basically a sweet treat that also happens to contain protein 🍫
Neither is “bad,” but they shouldn’t all be used the same way.
When you’re looking at a protein bar, don’t just trust the front of the wrapper. Flip it over and check 👀
• how many calories it has compared to the protein
• what the main ingredients actually are
• how much of the bar is coming from fats, sugars, sugar alcohols, or coatings
If most of the calories aren’t coming from protein, it’s probably better used as a treat or dessert swap-not your main protein source.
Protein bars are a convenience tool.
They’re helpful when you’re busy or on the go, but they’re not meant to replace real meals or be an automatic daily choice.
Use them with intention, that’s the whole point!
