There was a time when protein bars were a bit hard to swallow and eaten only by gym worshippers as a last resort to hit their protein requirements. But now they are one of the nation’s favorite snacks and we are spoiled for choice with flavors that go way beyond the classics of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry (however delicious they might be!).
If you are looking for something a little more exciting than the usual run-of-the-mill flavors, you’ve come to the right place.
