Best of the Best: Our Favorite Bars

As someone who is constantly watching what she eats, I have been on the hunt to find the best bars to help keep me satisfied between workouts and meals. Bars should definitely not be seen as a meal supplement but they are convenient to have on hand in the office or in your bag so you have a safe fall back instead of becoming a victim to the drive-thru. There are hundreds of bars available so I did my own little taste test. Below are a few that I've tried so far and I liked.

Do you have a favorite snack bar? Please share. I'm always looking for new ones to try.

Best Ingredient List: Lara Bar
PROS: Creative flavors, gluten free, dairy free, all raw ingredients and only 5 items in ingredient list. Good for anyone who has any diet restrictions. We liked the sweet fruity taste.

CONS: Texture might not be for everyone. It's a bit chewy and reminded us of 1 inch thick fruit leather.

   - Calories: 230
   - Total Fat: 13g
   - Cholesterol: 0mg

Best Bar To Fill You Up: Clif Mojo Bar - OUR FAVORITE!
PROS: The salty and sweet flavors really satisfied our snack tooth. It's packed with protein so this is a great option for after a workout.

Best Bar For A Quick Snack: Nature Valley Bar
PROS: 2 bars in each pack offer the illusion of eating more. There are a variety of flavors and the bars have a nice balance of protein and fiber. It's readily available in most grocery stores. The crunch is a nice alternative to chewy bars.

CONS: Didn't fill us up as much as we had hoped.

Best All Around Bar: Nectar Bar

Best Bar To Make You...Go: Fiber One Bar
