1. Best Protein Bar Overall: RXBar Chocolate Sea Salt
If you want to feel like you’re eating a decadent salted brownie while meeting all your protein needs, you’ve met your match with an RXBAR. Dubbed a favorite by many of the experts we spoke to, Natalie Rizzo, MS, RD, an NYC-based Registered Dietitian, particularly likes the simplicity of ingredients: “RXBAR does a nice job of making bars out of recognizable ingredients. They are very straightforward on their packaging and tell you that each bar contains dates, nuts, egg whites, and flavors. My personal favorite is the Chocolate Sea Salt, and I find that the 12 grams of protein really keeps me full.”
2. Best Tasting Protein Bar: KIND Protein, Crunchy Peanut Butter
With creamy nut butter and crunchy peanuts, this healthy snack bar packs in a respectable amount of digestion-aiding fiber and muscle-maintaining protein. It’s been chosen as the best tasting because of the balance of crunchy and chewy, which comes from the blend of peanut butter drizzle and real peanuts. You’d never guess that this bar only has 8 grams of sugar because it tastes exactly like dessert.
