and has little added sugars. Barebells Functional Food was developed to do just that! Roberta has been in the industry for quite some time and said, \u201cThis is the best tasting bar we have seen in this category in a long time. It\u2019s unbelievable that its 0g of sugar, and 20g of protein\u201d. To give you some perspective, 20 grams of protein is about the same as 3 eggs! Now this bar has an impressive nutritional profile especially if it tastes delicious!<\/p><p>What I love about the protein in this bar is the source of whey protein within their blend. Whey protein is a high-quality protein, rich in branch-chain amino acids (BCAA). BCAAs are critical for muscle tissue and if you\u2019re pushing the barbells, the BCAAs in Barebell protein bars can support muscle recovery^*. \u00a0I had not tasted this protein bar before I spoke with Roberta. Since she ranked it so highly, I had to try. After sampling\u2026 amazing, the inside tastes like cookie dough to me!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

Making the list as the best tasting protein bar, Barebells Soft Bar Salted Peanut Caramel is bar none! (See what I did there). Roberta said it\u2019s the closest thing she has ever tasted to feeling like she was eating a candy bar! That\u2019s REALLY impressive, especially considering your average candy bar will have 20 grams of added sugar compared to this bar with 0 g added sugar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5); color: var( --e-global-color-primary );\">As a dietitian, lowering your added sugar intake is important to help support your overall health.

This flavor is my second favorite in the Total Lean Layered Bars at GNC. My personal favorite is the coconut caramel. Are you team Thin Mint or team Samoa?! I love eating these for a dessert alternative after dinner. Sometimes I even find just half the bar satisfies my sweet tooth!<\/p><p>What\u2019s great about the bars helping with weight management^* is the complementary weight management products offered in the same delicious Girl-Scout inspired flavors.

Well essentially most of the carbohydrates in the bar is coming from a fiber-rich carb source. Since our bodies digest carbs with a higher fiber content much slower, we subtract the fiber-rich carbs from the total carbohydrates to get the net carbs. It\u2019s great for those looking for a lower carb intake and has 18 grams of protein per bar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1c5e8dd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1c5e8dd\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6cb845c\" data-id=\"6cb845c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3df7d07 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"3df7d07\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ec9750e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ec9750e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2189aaf\" data-id=\"2189aaf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54a700d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"54a700d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Best Vegan Protein Bar<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20eaf04 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"20eaf04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">NO COW\u00ae\nDipped -

That\u2019s why I asked Roberta what the best vegan protein bar is. She selected No Cow, Dipped Peanut Butter Cup. I love the irony of the bar name since a lot of protein sources are whey, which comes from cows! When I first heard this brand, I thought it was no cal, and I was like WOW they made a plant-based protein bar with NO calories!! Then I realized it was a play on words with No Cow. Why No Cow? Well Roberta said, \u201cWe know and understand the importance of vegan options not only for true vegan consumers but those looking for alternative healthy options.<\/p><p>No Cow fits this space by providing 20g of plant protein in a delicious dairy free bar\u201d. As a dietitian, I love the protein blend formulated to contain both a grain (brown rice) and a legume (peas). Why this is an important combination has to do with the amino acid profiles of plant-based proteins. The missing essential amino acid in grains is found in legumes and the missing essential amino acid in legumes is found in grains, making it a complete protein. Now be mindful this will not meet all your daily essential amino acid needs but it\u2019s a great combo for people who follow a vegan diet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ad4543f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ad4543f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0dac34d\" data-id=\"0dac34d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-163c4f7 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"163c4f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3eaf079 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3eaf079\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b26a996\" data-id=\"b26a996\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2147080 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2147080\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Best Dessert Protein Bar<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd619a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fd619a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">BUILT BRANDS\nBuilt Bar -
