I like to think I'm something of a protein bar [1] expert; as someone who's constantly on the go, I rely on them to keep me full and focussed. I like to make sure I'm getting some protein at every meal, and I also keep them in my bag in case I'm going somewhere that might not have healthy options for me. Plus, as someone who's not hungry first thing in the morning, I often eat breakfast at my desk, and a protein bar is one of the easiest options. But, not all protein bars are created equal. Some of them are chalky, some have questionable ingredients, and some of them just don't taste good. That's where we come in.
These eight protein bars are all editor tested and editor approved. They're what I reach for on crazy days, and I'd recommend every single one with confidence. Plus, they all taste really good. But, don't just take my word for it. They're all available on Amazon, so see, and shop, for yourself!
