Over Easy Banana Nut Breakfast Bars
When to eat it: You can’t commit to stocking just one flavor.
Why they’re great: Pick from six flavors that range from banana nut to toasted coconut and mix up your routine day to day. These gluten-free bars are marketed as a surprisingly filling alternative to breakfast, relying mostly on oats to keep you fueled as you start your day—which, beyond delivering on protein (each type varies, but overall these bars have between eight and 11 grams of it), also means you get an antioxidant boost.
