I Ate 25 Healthy Protein Bars So You Don’t Have To.
The title of this article really caught my eye! I am always on the lookout for a healthy protein bar that I can eat in a pinch. The author of this article does a decent job describing his process for analyzing the bars BUT I want to point out that he has ZERO background in nutrition. With that being said, I did my own research and placed his recommendations into the Yuka App (highly recommend this app) to double check on the quality of the bar’s ingredients. Some of his recommendations were on the mark but not all of them!
