Looking for the best protein bar? You're in the right place. Finding the right protein bar for you isn't easy because the term 'protein bar' has become a catch-all these days. If you go into your local health food shop or supermarket you'll see there are lots of products touting their protein benefits – but it doesn't mean they taste good or are actually good for you.
When it comes to the traditional protein bar, it's so protein-focused because it's made to be used after workouts – protein is a great recovery food after all – but it doesn't end there. Thanks to the popularity of paleo and keto diets, there's also a trend to buy protein bars as a snack instead of your usual carb-heavy choices – although it's always worth checking whether your new bar of choice is paleo and keto-friendly.
All of the bars on this list have a substantial amount of protein – some as high as 20+ grams per serving, some a little less – so they're a great choice whether you're looking for super high-protein and low-sugar gym-focused bars through to the snacks you might want to substitute in for the chocolate you previously put on your desk at work to see you through the daily 3pm energy slump.
