![]() Here goes – 4 Protein Bars That Don’t Suckīulletproof Collagen Protein Bars: These things are my new love and definitely my favorite of the bars I’m listing here. If you are a vegan, I’ll recommend something for you at the end of the post. They are all made with actual foods! Plus, I met the people who work for these companies and they are all great people who care about your health. No matter which way you swing it, those things ain’t food.įortunately, at PaleoFX I found a few bars worthy of eating and feeling good about. Sugar, sucralose (artificial sweetener), canola oil, carageenan, soy…”marshmallow flavored nuggets”…bye felicia. Ick!!! These things are filled with ingredients I would not want anywhere near my body (if I can help it). Ingredients: Chocolate flavored coating (sugar, fractionated palm kernel oil, cocoa, whey, nonfat milk, soy lecithin, natural flavor), glucose syrup, chocolate filling (glucose syrup, sugar, palm oil, alkalized cocoa, nonfat milk, chocolate, natural flavor, carrageenan, soy lecithin, salt), TriSource™ Protein Blend (whey protein isolate, calcium caseinate, soy protein isolate), maltitol syrup, vegetable glycerin, oat fiber (contains wheat), soy crisps (soy protein isolate, tapioca starch, salt), marshmallow flavored nuggets (sugar, cornstarch, maltodextrin, fractionated palm kernel oil, vegetable glycerin, rice flour, dextrose, gum arabic, water, natural flavor), high oleic canola oil, and less than 2% of: ground almonds, calcium phosphate, soy lecithin, salt, potassium phosphate, natural flavor, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), molasses, partially defatted peanut flour, ferrous fumarate (iron), pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), thiamin hydrochloride (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2). Here are the ingredients for the top 2 protein bars they have listed. To prove this point, I searched “protein bar” on Amazon. They suck because they are full of sugar, artificial sweeteners, and insane crazy crap. The challenge is this: most protein bars suck. Because let’s face it, no matter how much we want to preach about only eating whole foods and sitting down to quietly savor each meal, everyone wants a convenient snack you can throw into your gym bag and eat on the go. Protein bars are something I get asked about A LOT. One of my favorite parts of PaleoFX was seeing all the fun food products and trying samples of them. My boyfriend said being at a nutrition conference with me was “like letting a dog loose at the dog park.” Not sure if that was meant to be a compliment but I think it means I was VERY excited. PaleoFX is a conference focusing on “health, nutrition, fitness, sustainability, & everything in between.” Many of the brands I support and the nutrition experts I follow and learn from were there. I’m in beautiful, sunny San Diego right now, after a fantastic trip to Austin for the PaleoFX conference. I haven’t been checking in with you guys here on the blog for a couple of weeks, because I’ve been on the road again traveling around looking for hip and healthy resources to share with you guys.
