9 Bariatric Protein Bar options that are low carb and don't taste like chalk

I have a love-hate relationship with Protein Bars. We all have those times when we can't cook EVERY meal. We are super busy and need a quick quality protein bar meeting our requirements.

I am that person who buys 1 of 5 different bars at once to try first before buying the box. I have sampled several different brands and the below bars are on the top of my list for flavor, ingredients, and availability.

I hope that if you are reading this, I can help narrow down some choices for you as it can be daunting to read all the ingredients in the store and comb through about 100 protein bars available. These bars are a meal for bariatric patients so if wondering about the cost per bar, think about it replacing an entire meal and it makes sense.

When reading the ingredient label pay special attention to the total carbs. To calculate the net carbs, subtract the dietary fiber and sugar alcohols from Total Carbs. Please see this sample image from a bulletproof bar: Please note: each flavor for a brand may have different carbs
