Protein bars are heinous for any purpose other than getting in some calories and enjoying the taste. Anyone who thinks they are a good way to get protein for a diet are fooling themselves. Protein bars are candy bars + whey protein powder. Why not skip the candy bar part of the equation and just supplement protein directly if that is what you are after?

- chillwaves 9y agoI'm not sold on the artificial sweeteners, so I try to minimize. For me I just bring 2 scoops of whey pro in a blender bottle and add water after the workout. It's pretty easy. Doesn't taste great but it is manageable.
