Choosing a Protein Bar that Fits You

It all begins with an idea.

Choosing a protein bar can be easy if you know how to think like a dietician.

Here are the 5 simple rules we follow when judging the 1000s of bars on the market:

1. Less than 250 calories per serving.

2. Less than 7 grams added sugar.

3. No sugar alcohols. Common sugar alcohols include mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol, lactitol, isomalt, maltitol and hydrogenated starch hydrolysates (HSH).

4. Less than 2 grams added fat per serving.

5. A minimum of 8 grams of protein per serving.

Our team rated bars with whole food ingredients such as whole grains, nuts, seeds, and fruit and provide some recommendations below. Whole foods are best, but if you’re looking for a quick on the go snack here are some smart choices.

Protein Bars

Rx Bar- 12 grams of protein from simple, real ingredients

Rx Bar Plant- 10 grams of protein for almonds and pea protein

Snack Sized Perfect Bars- taste great!

Nut Bars

Kind Bar- Classic fruit and nut bars that are low in sugar and saturated fat. Many do contain palm kernel oil and the inulin used for added fiber may cause GI distress in some people.

Fody Snack Bars- Low FODMAP and gut friendly. Do not meet the recommended 8 grams of protein, but are still a delicious choice.

Fruit Based Bars

Lara Bar- simple, recognizable ingredients. If you’re not a fan of dates, skip these.

Granola Bar

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
