Raising the Bar (on Bars)

Energy bars are convenient little doses of fuel that can come in super handy when we need to eat something on the go. Unfortunately, many are packed with ingredients that I recommend avoiding, like soy protein isolate, too much sugar or artificial sugars, and other unsavory ingredients.

I recently tried these Primal Kitchen bars, and have been talking about them ever since. Containing only 3 grams of sugar (thanks to monk fruit extract, which does not raise your blood sugar levels), nuts and seeds, and grass-fed collagen, they boast 15 grams of protein and are filling enough to keep you satisfied for a few hours. They also aren’t sticky sweet like some other bars.

You can find them online here; grab a free six-pack of the dark chocolate almond variety. They come in four flavors, but I’m partial to the dark chocolate almond and the chocolate hazelnut (I’m a chocolate girl all the way).

If you try them, I’ll be curious to know what you think, and if you like them as much as I do!
