Unwrapped. Perfect Bar, GoMacro Bar, RX Bar & a Kind Bar

Wrapped. Perfect Bar, GoMacro Bar, RX Bar & a Kind Bar.

I find myself reaching for bars all the time. Whether it be a “post breakfast” snack or even as a healthier dessert some nights! I wanted to try 4 popular protein bars for you & break down the results. I stuck to Peanut Butter flavors to keep the competition as even as possible.

1) Perfect Bar (Dark Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter)

• Gluten Free, 15g of Protein

• This tasted like the inside of a soft, sweet Reese’s cup. Even though this bar is naturally sweetened with honey, at 18g of sugar it is more of a “dessert treat.”

• These bars live in the refrigerator since they have no preservatives.

• A personal favorite of mine! They taste amazing. I’d buy again.

2) GoMacro Bar (Peanut Butter)

• Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Low Fodmap, 11g of Protein

• This tasted sweet, dense, chewy and filling. I love the small peanut butter chips mixed throughout the bar.

• This flavor is for a true peanut butter lover - note they do have more of a “protein” taste from the brown rice protein powder.

• Really delicious! I’d buy again.

3) Rx Bar (Peanut Butter)

• Gluten Free, 12g of Protein

• These are VERY sticky (probably from the dates that make up the bar.)

• I like that these have only 5 ingredients.

• I prefer other bars on the market right now, but they aren’t bad. Maybe I’m just sick of eating these?

4) Kind Bar (Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate)

• Gluten Free, 8g of Protein

• These are crunchy like trail mix, with a chocolate coating on the bottom.

• The lowest protein of all the bars, so perhaps not as “filling.”

• These are very easy to find (airports, vending machines, gas stations, etc) so they are a great snack if you are on the go.
