NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Sweetened with plant-based low-and no-calorie sweeteners, each of these five bars is a good source of protein and low in sugar. Protein bars are decidedly subjective, so our best advice is to try each of these (or similar versions you find in stores near you) to find a variety you enjoy.
We know that protein bars aren’t for everyone, and they aren’t a necessary part of a healthful diet – but they can be a convenient way to fit in a bit of extra protein, especially on the go.
Tip: use store-finder feature on product website to find retailers near you.
