Protein Bars: How to Choose Them Well

What is a protein bar for?

It provides protein in a convenient format: 10 g for the 42 g Mulebar vegan bar, 16 g for the 45 g Apurna bar. Enjoy it as a snack, after a workout, or alongside a light meal.

Can you eat it during exercise?

That’s not ideal. Protein and fiber slow digestion. It’s better to have an energy bar during exercise and a protein bar afterward.

How do you choose between two bars?

Check the protein per bar, sugar, fiber, and size. A bar with 20 g of protein can partly replace a meal, while a bar with 10 g is a snack.

Do protein bars make you gain weight?

Like any food, it all depends on the total amount consumed throughout the day. Include them in your intake.

Are there lactose-free or vegan versions?

Yes, some are pea- or rice-protein-based. The product page indicates this.

Protein bar or recovery bar?

The recovery bar provides more carbohydrates to refuel after a long session; the protein bar focuses mainly on protein and is low in sugar. For example, the Styrkr BAR+ contains 45 g of carbohydrates and 15 g of protein, while the Apurna protein bar has less than 6 g of sugar and 16 g of protein. After a long ride, choose a <a href="/en-hu/collections/barres-recuperation">recovery bar</a>; as a snack, a protein bar.
