Best Healthy & Low-Sugar Protein Bars

11. Most Natural Protein Bar: Rise Bar Lemon Cashew

1 BAR (60 G): 260 calories, 13 g fat (2.5 g saturated fat), 25 mg sodium, 23 g carbs (1 g fiber, 12 g sugar), 15 g protein

“Most ‘protein’ bars have only 6-12 grams of protein per bar, but Rise [bars] are more substantial by providing 15-20 grams of protein per bar,” says Anya Rosen, MS, RD, LD, IFNCP, CPT, a functional medicine dietitian and founder of Birchwell Clinic. “Rise bars also do not use sugar alcohols or other added ingredients that tend to cause bloating (such as corn fiber, chicory root, or inulin, which are found in many other popular bars, and as a result, they are easier to digest and great for individuals with food restrictions and/or sensitivities.”
