Gatorade protein bars definitely have appeal as a change of pace from the typical chewy protein bars, but with over 300 calories and around 30 grams of sugar per bar, there are far better options out there.
CTRL bars have good flavor, but they are very sweet and lack the nutrition facts that would make this a go-to protein bar. The texture is very similar to Anabar, but overly sweet with less protein overall.
Fit Crunch Bars are some of the most popular protein bars on the market today, and these wafer bars are even better.
If you've ever had a jar of flavored high-protein peanut butter, you've experienced the flavor of Outright bars. They don't stand out against out peanut butter-based bars, but you could do worse.
G2G Bars are refrigerated protein bars done right. The peanut butter bars are absolutely delicious, and any fan of peanut butter will not be disappointed.
If you need a bar that checks all the health food boxes (gluten-free, plant-based, organic) then GoMacro has you covered, but the flavors won't blow you away.
Barebells protein bars are some of the most delicious bars out there, but how do their plant-based protein bars stack up?
RXBar gives you exactly what you expect: it's all laid out right on the package, and what you see is exactly what you taste. If you want a protein bar with minimal ingredients, I can see the appeal, but there are far tastier options out there.
Which protein bars are the best-tasting? Let's put the price, macros, etc, to the side, and rank the BEST protein bars strictly on taste.
If you buy these protein bars expecting Snickers, you're going to be extremely disappointed. But if you expect an average and unexciting protein bar, these fit the bill. They are not bad, just nothing special, and certainly NOT Snickers bars.
I love Bobo's Oat Bars, but these protein bars are a huge disappointment for me. They taste like flavored pea protein in the form of a protein bar- something that I am certainly not into.
Clif Builders Bars are decent for what they are, and they do have great texture. But the soy flavor is simply too strong in each bar, overpowering all of the other flavors.
In the ever-evolving landscape of protein-packed snacks, Quest Nutrition has always been...
Magic Spoon is one of the most popular high-protein cereals out there, but can their high-protein marshmallow treats live up to those expectations?
Perfect Bar changed the protein bar landscape with their innovative refrigerated protein bars, but how do they compared to others on the market today?
Anabar protein bars are the self-proclaimed "world's best tasting protein bar" so you know I need to put that to the test.
Foundation protein bars have great texture, but the flavors are currently not anything special. With some improvements, these can become a top protein bar in the industry.
These Grab The Gold snack bars are much more of a "health food" bar then they are a protein bar, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. They have well-rounded macros, clean ingredients, and a great amount of sweetness... I was pleasantly surprised by these.
Flavor Tried: Vanilla Price: $28.99 for 10 ($2.89 each) Nutrition: 200 Calories,...
These Special K protein bars are surprisingly delicious and eat like a regular cereal snack bar. The protein content isn't overly impressive, but the taste and texture are both very pleasant.
Pure Protein bars were one of the original protein bars on the market, and they have stood the test of time. They were my introduction to protein bars many years ago, and I think they are perfect for that.
Protein Rice Krispies sound great in theory, but this version just ends up tasting like a chewy cereal bar. It's decent, but not close to the marshmallow treats we all know and love.
If you like peanut M&M's, there's no reason you wouldn't love these candies. You can definitely taste a slight artificial flavor, but I'd put this at about 90% of the real thing.
Think! bars are pretty underwhelming, but considering their low price tag, they may be worth trying in a pinch. You can do worse, but you can also do much better.
