Protein bars can be a convenient way to boost your protein intake—but not all bars are created equal. In this episode, I head to my local grocery store and put 6 of the most popular, easy-to-find protein bars to the test. These are bars you’ll see in most grocery stores and on Amazon.

I evaluated each bar using 4 key criteria that matter most if you actually use protein bars:

✅ Taste – Because if it doesn’t taste good, what’s the point?
✅ Protein-to-Calorie Ratio – Learn the ideal ratio and how to avoid bars that barely deliver protein.
✅ Fiber Content – Choosing the right bar can surprisingly help you hit your daily fiber goal.
✅ Price – Some options are far more budget-friendly than others.

I ranked all 6 bars in each category and then revealed my brutally honest overall rankings.

I also have a clear favorite, and I explain exactly why it stands out—and which bars I personally wouldn’t buy.

đŸ’Ș If you’re trying to find the best on-the-go protein bar without wasting money or macros, this episode is for you.

👀 Tune in to find out which protein bars are worth it—and which ones miss the mark.

👇 What’s your go-to protein bar? Let me know—I might review it next.
