]]>Staying in Control
The best thing about homemade protein bars is that you’re the one choosing all the ingredients. Having total control of this step will allow you to keep your protein bars as healthy as possible because commercially produced varieties tend to pack a lot of fat and sugar.
Naturally Sweet
Speaking of sugar, homemade protein bars allow you to replace artificial sweeteners used to enhance the flavor of commercial protein bars with natural alternatives. You can use everything from honey and maple syrup to dried fruits to make your protein bars sweeter if you want to.
Extra Delicious
To make the whole thing even better, your homemade protein bars will always be even more delicious than store-bought ones. You’re the one choosing the ingredients, so it’s up to you to pick the ones that suit your taste, plus your protein bars will always be fresh.

]]>Many of the most popular protein bars are made with whey, however, making them unsuitable for vegans or anyone else who can’t tolerate dairy. Fortunately, increased demand for plant-based products over the last few years has led several companies to create snacks using protein from non-animal sources. Here are the ones we always have in our bags:
Protein Works Ridiculous Protein Bars
With 15 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber per serving, these bars will keep you full and energized without causing a sugar crash. They’re sweetened with stevia, gluten-free, and available in 4 different flavors. We love the Chocolate Biscuit Crunch!
GoMacro Protein Bars
GoMacro’s protein bars have between 10-12 grams of protein per serving depending on the flavor and are one of the best options on the market for anyone with food sensitivities. They’re vegan, soy-free, gluten-free, and FODMAP friendly, but you’d never know from the way they taste. Try the Protein Decadence with dark chocolate and almonds – you won’t regret it.
Aloha Protein Bars
Aloha is one of our favorite brands for plant-based protein powder, so it makes sense that their line of protein bars would also be one of our go-to’s. They come in tons of delicious flavors and even seasonal varieties like Pumpkin Spice in the fall.

]]>Koala Clip
It can be frustrating to carry your phone while working out, but phones are a necessity these days. Since activewear pockets usually aren’t big enough, a koala clip will be a perfect solution and even a more perfect gift.
Protein Bars
Sweets are always a gift everyone loves, but you have to get a little bit more specific when buying them for fitness lovers. Just get a lot of tasteful protein bars, any taste and flavor, pick a lovely package and you’re all done.
Grip Socs
Fall is here, and winter is coming, which means it’s getting colder outside. This gift is great for all fitness fans who enjoy outdoor workouts, especially the tall people in your life. Full-length tights are a little short for them, but these socks were made with them in mind.

]]>It’s important to remember many protein bars contain more saturated fat and sugar than the unhealthiest snacks on the market. In addition to coming with a sky-high amount of sugar, they also may contain other unwelcomed ingredients. High-fructose corn syrup, food coloring, and artificial sugars come to mind. If you want those things out of your system, it’s crucial to check the label before making a purchase.
This doesn’t mean you should avoid protein bars like the plague. It’s only important to use them in moderation and put some effort into picking the right one. Always check the ingredients list and make sure they don’t contain anything you’d rather avoid.
Keep an eye on protein, fat, carbs, sugar and fiber, but remember the ideal amount of each depends on your body goals. If you’re in the mood to get creative in the kitchen, you can always make protein bars on your own. Never forget they can’t be alternative to other foods – just another healthy snack.
