Protein Bars?

Protein Bars have definitely become the new trend recently. Americans are busy people and sometimes there is not enough time to sit down and eat a well rounded meal with the appropriate amount of vegetables, fruit, protein, whole grains, etc. I should know being a college student. So we tend to grab something that can fuel our hinger and most Americans end up driving through the drive thru at the closest fast food restaurant or grabbing a bag of chips. But these quick and convenient options is what is leading to the rise in the obesity rate in the US. So I have been on the search for protein bars that have healthy and REAL ingredients that can fuel my hunger in those busy days instead of choosing the unhealthy options. So I am going to share with y’all some of my favorite grab and go protein bars. (in no particular order)

1. Perfect Bar

These protein bars taste more like dessert than an actual “good for you” protein bar. They are very unique compared to other protein bars on the market. They are a refrigerated protein bar that contains many superfood ingredients and are organic. They are very calorie dense and I tend to eat them as aquick breakfast paired with a piece of fruit. But sometimes I cut them up and use them as toppings on my oatmeal and pancakes. My favorite flavor has to be the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter!

2. Square Organics Bar

These protein bars are less calorie dense than the Perfect Bars so they tend to make great snacks or post-workout snacks. I also use them to top my oatmeal with. What I love about these bars is that they taste like a chocolate covered candy bar with out that fake taste from the sugar alcohol that most protein bars have. They are also organic and VEGAN for all my vegan friends. The ingredient list is also really short and contains only real and wholesome ingredients, so no fake stuff!! My favorite flavor is cookie dough of course. You can also use my code: figgiethefoodie for 20% off their website https://www.squareorganics.com !

I will keep updating this page when I find some new protein bars that I enjoy!
