4 Best Worst Low Sugar Protein Bars | The Beta Switch | Jeans Diet | The Menopause Myth |

★ My Weight Loss Guide | The Beta Switch | Jeans Diet | The Menopause Myth | click link : you’re looking to further your better body goals, would you eat a candy bar every day? What about high protein snacks or a protein bar? We’re sure the latter sounds more beneficial, but unfortunately, most of the protein bars in the market are loaded with more of the waist-widening sweet stuff than a Snickers. And, because you consider them a health food you can eat every day (rather than a once-in-a-while treat), they can be more likely to hamper your weight-loss or tone-up efforts than help them. 4 Best Worst Low-Sugar Protein Bars

1. ThinkThin Chocolate Strawberry

Don’t be fooled into thinking you’re getting a deal with this sugar-free bar. To compensate for the lack of sugar, thinkThin loads this bar up with sugar alcohols—12 grams exactly. One of those is maltitol, a low-calorie, plant-based sweetener that studies have found to be associated with stomach and abdominal pain as well as excessive internal gas and flatulence. Not something that makes us want to eat these high protein snacks.

2. Nature Valley Coconut Almond Protein Chewy Bars

It may look like your favorite of high protein snacks, GORP (good-old fashioned raisins and peanuts) in a bar, but what you’re really eating when you chomp down on this Nature Valley bar is more fillers than whole foods. It looks like roasted peanuts and coconut, but more of the protein and fat you see in the nutritionals is from soy protein isolate and palm oil than whole foods.

3. ZONE Perfect Nutrition Bar Dark Chocolate Almond

Don’t be fooled by the name of this bar; the “dark chocolate” is less of what you’d picture in an 85 percent dark chocolate bar and more sugar, alkalized cocoa powder (which renders all antioxidants useless), milk powder and fractionated palm kernel oil (instead of healthy-fat-rich cocoa butter). Not ideal in terms of high protein snacks.

4. QuestBar Protein Bar Cookies & Cream Flavor

Don’t believe everything you read. QuestBar describes this bar as being made “with real cookie crumbles and delicious cream,” but according to the ingredients, the only place that cream could be lurking is in “natural flavors.” Not to mention, the bar may be sugar free, but it’s made with a laundry list of additives and chemicals, including artificial sweetener sucralose, and the only whole food is almonds.
