I used to never eat protein bars, but as I get older, I enjoy them more. There are many unhealthy ones out there though, some have more chemicals than a candy bar!
Today I want to share with you the best tasting, healthiest snack bars and protein bars that also work for dairy-free, gluten-free people.
Protein bars are a great option for a quick snack, breakfast on the go, or post workout. I try to find ones that have low sugar, a good amount of healthy fat, and protein.
Many readers ask me about food all the time, especially when it comes to chemicals. Most packaged foods have some source of preservative, high sodium, and texturing chemicals to achieve the right balance.
So, this post will help you find some good protein bars to use that have a great list of ingredients that are healthy and safe.
Best Tasting Healthiest Snack Bars & Protein Bars
Lara Bars
My favorite protein bar is Lara bars because it has such a simple list of ingredients. They also taste wonderful and keep you feeling full for long.
I have tasted all the flavors, and my favorites are the peanut butter chocolate chip, cashew cookie, and chocolate chip cookie dough.
Kind Bars
Another incredibly health protein bar with many healthy fats. Kind bars are also low in sugar which is a big plus. So many nut based bars have a higher dose of sugar, but these do not.
I love almost all of these flavors, but my favorites are apple cinnamon, caramel and sea salt, dark chocolate and sea salt.
Nothin’ But
These have a simple list of ingredients and make for a great snack. They don’t have enough calories or fat to be a good meal, but I love to have one with some fruit to make a great snack option.
My favorite for this is this lemon ginger cashew flavor. It really tastes like lemon and ginger!
Goodness Knows
These are really good little snack bars. They come in four squares, so they are great for snacking. I actually love having these with tea or even a popcorn night. They have just the right amount of sweetness.
Bobo’s Chocolate Chip Bar
This can be a complete meal! It taste like a cookie bar or granola bar. I love heating this up for a few seconds in the microwave, it tastes like a dessert after that!
This has a great source of healthy fats and calories, so good for breakfast.
Enjoylife Proburst Bites
This is Enjoylife Foods newest product. They are little protein balls with a great source of fat and protein. I love the chocolate base in all of them too. Perfect sweet treat.
I love the chocolate and sunseed seed butter.
RXbars
These have such a simple ingredients list and they taste amazing!
Even my husband loves these, so we buy big boxes of the peanut butter flavor to keep on hand.
Thunderbird Real Food Bar
The ingredients on this bar are perfect. I love this carrot one the best! It reminds me of carrot cake!
I love how many basic healthy snack bars are out there on the market. Always look for simple ingredients! And here is a great list so you don’t have to guess which ones taste good (which I have tasted so many that are AWFUL lol)
Enjoy!

Linking with Met Monday and these link parties!
Just tried a Nothing But bar over the weekend. Huge fan already of Lara and Kind.
I love the nothing but bars! Lately, I have just been having RX bars on repeat 🙂
I’ve never tried any of these but they all look so yummy! The RX peanut butter bars sound SO amazing!! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
They are such great options! The RX ones are really delicious!
can you get any of these at HEB or Walmart? I am not much for ordering online as you know lol… can you let us know what good bars we could find at these 2 places? Love MOM
I haven’t had much luck finding any at Walmart, but my HEB has all of these 🙂 They are a little more expensive, so I will buy in bulk on amazon occasionally!
I LOVE Kind Bars! Especially the dark chocolate and sea salt!
I love that one too! It is such a good treat 🙂
Wow, what a good selection of DF GF bars! I have to admit, maybe cuz it’s Monday, that I first read the “Bobo’s” bar as “boobs”. Go ahead and laugh! I do like Lara and Kind bars, have not heard or tried the others; the flavors sound so good! New ventures!
LOL I actually thought the SAME thing when I first picked these up at the store 🙂 But they are really good! Hope you can find a new favorite!
Sounds nice
So many neat options!
I just pinned this! I’m not at a point in my diet program where I could eat these, but they are good to know about for the future. I’ve tried a couple in the past, though I can’t remember what flavors I liked.

These are definitely the best ones I have tried! I hope this can come in handy for you 🙂
I haven’t tried any of these but the Kind bars- they are so good! Thanks for the round up- I know what to check out now 🙂
If you like Kind bars, you will definitely enjoy these others too 🙂 Those RXbars are my current favs!
I haven’t tried many of these bars except Kind bars. I have to try the Carrot one real food bar. Thank you for sharing with us at #HomeMattersParty . We would love to have you again next week.
The carrot cake one is really delicious! Thanks Sahana!
