I Wouldn’t Eat this Protein Bar – ever! |
|
Protein is an essential macronutrient and is also very filling, so grabbing a protein bar for a quick fix sounds like a healthy option, but it’s often quite the opposite. What should be a nutritious option is often more of a sugar laden candy bar masquerading as a healthy snack.
An example of one of the many protein bars that I avoid is one that has ingredients that looks like this:
invert sugar, whole grain rolled oats, peanuts, soy protein isolate, whey protein isolate, isolated soy protein, brown sugar, fructose, oat flour, semisweet chocolate chips (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, vanilla extract), glycerin, honey, tapioca syrup, sugar, enriched wheat flour, soy lecithin, rice starch, palm oil, canola oil, palm kernel oil, natural flavor, malted barley extract, water, salt, xanthan gum, sodium bicarbonate, cocoa, nonfat milk, corn starch, modified food starch, tocopherols (preservative), cellulose gel, cellulose gum, almonds, cashews, peanut, cottonseed, hydrogenated soybean and/or sunflower seed. (Quaker Protein Baked Bars, Peanut Butter Chocolate).
Here are my top 3 reasons why:
- The first ingredient is sugar, which means that it is has more sugar than anything else! That’s a no go--its basically candy. It also contains several other types of sugars, including fructose, syrups and honey.
- It contains whey (milk) and milk powder; dairy is known to cause inflammation and digestive issues including bloating, among other things.
- It contains hydrogenated oils, which can also damage your digestive system, cause weight gain, all while lowering your good cholesterol (HDL) and increasing the bad cholesterol (LDL).
If your protein bar looks like that, I’d suggest swapping it out for a small handful of raw nuts and raisins or a homemade trail mix that includes nuts, seeds and cranberries or raisins. When it’s time to indulge in dessert, let’s indulge in healthy dessert, but don’t sabotage your healthy routine with counterfeit health food.
