What makes a healthy protein bar?
Not all protein bars are created equal. Rachel Brief, MS RD, Registered Dietitian at The Lanby, shares a few simple things to look for when choosing one.
Start with the ingredient list. The first few ingredients make up the bulk of the product, so ideally, you want to see sources of protein, healthy fats, and fiber toward the top.
Then, check the nutrition facts:
➕ 10+ grams of protein
➕ 5+ grams of fiber
➕ Single-digit grams of sugar
As a general rule, you want the protein and fiber to outweigh the amount of sugar.
B.T.R. NATION bars check these boxes, which is why they’re one of The Lanby’s favorite options to always keep on hand.
