ALOHA Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Organic Protein Bars
Why they’re great: Aloha’s bars rely on whole foods like brown rice and pumpkin seeds to infuse flavor and protein. The ingredient list is vegan, gluten-free, and Paleo-friendly, so it’s likely to be safe for several nutritional restrictions. With 14 grams of protein and only four to five grams of sugar, these bars are a good choice for basically any diet out there, whether you’re going low-carb or high-protein.
Our fave flavor: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip (240 cal, 14 g pro, 24 g carb, 10 g fiber, 5 g sugars (3 g added sugars), 12 g fat ( 3 g sat fat), 90 mg sodium)
Mixed Berry Protein Bar
When to eat it: You’re looking for simple ingredients.
Why they’re great: RXBARs’ claim to fame is their “No B.S.” ingredients list. It fits on the front of the bar’s packaging because it’s that short. While they tend to be a bit higher in the sugar department, the sweet stuff only comes from whole f00ds, like dates and dark chocolate. As for protein? A typical bar will offer more than 10 g in the form of egg whites and nuts.
Our fave flavor: Mixed Berry (210 cal, 12 g pro, 24 g carb, 5 g fiber, 15 g sugars (0 g added sugars), 7 g fat ( 1g sat fat), 140 mg sodium)
