Protein bars are great for a quick snack when you’re on the go. There are literally hundreds to pick from so how do you know which one’s are the best? In this post, I share my Top 5 Grocery Store Protein Bars.
Check back for future posts on more protein bars. I just couldn’t review them all at one time.
Which bar is right for you will depend on many factors, such as your nutrition goals, reason for eating a protein bar, personal taste perferences.
Note: I am not affiliated with any of these companies. These are purely my personal opinions.

Grocery Store Protein Bar #5 - Think! Creamy Peanut Butter
Think! made the top 5 primarily due to it’s high protein content of 20g and no sugar. It does have 11g of sugar alcohol. Sugar alcohols are a type of sweetener.
On a scale of 1-5 for my personal taste test, I gave this one a 3. It was just ok.
Grocery Store Protein Bar #4 - Almond Butter Chocolate Brownie
Larabar Protein made the top 5 primarily due to it’s low saturated fat, a decent amount of fiber and minimal added sugars. The protein was on the low end at 11g.
My personal taste test rated the Larabar as average at a 3.
Grocery Store Protein Bar #3 - Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Quest made the top 5 due to it’s high protein content of 21g, low saturated fat of 3g, only 1g of sugar and a high fiber content of 14g.
On a scale of 1-5 for my personal taste test, I gave this one a 4. I really like the taste of this bar.
However, my stomach did not. I’m not sure what ingredient my body didn’t like. I had a reaction similar to my lactose intolerance – bloating and cramping.
So, why did this bar rate so high on my top 5? It’s still a great protein bar. Just doesn’t work for me.
Grocery Store Protein Bar #2 - Nature Valley Protein - Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate
Nature Valley Protein made the top 5 primarily due to it’s low saturated fat, 6g of fiber. The protein was on the low end at 10g.
My personal taste test rated the Nature Valley Protein bar at a 5.
Grocery Store Protein Bar #1 - Pure Protein Lemon Cake
My number 1 favorite. The Pure Protein bar has a lot going for it.
Low sodium, low saturated fat, 4g of fiber, low sugar and high protein.
And the taste, a definite 5! This is one I have to remind myself to only have ONE.
Here’s a quick overview of the nutrition in all 5 bars.
