Protein Bar

Protein Bar

EverydaySweetened

A protein bar is a portable, sweetened snack designed to deliver concentrated protein alongside carbohydrates and fats, often used for muscle recovery or meal replacement. These bars typically combine protein isolates (such as whey, soy, or pea) with sweeteners like sugar alcohols, honey, or artificial additives, resulting in chewy or crunchy textures with flavors ranging from chocolate to fruit varieties. While convenient, many options contain added sugars or sugar alcohols that may impact blood glucose levels or cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals.
