I have a confession to make: I’ve eaten a lot of protein bars in my time. Back when I was working in hospitality, I kept a stash in my backpack in case of emergency. The emergency was if the staff meal looked inedible, or I didn’t have enough time to take a break and just needed something in my stomach. They were a means to an end. I didn’t focus very hard on registering their edibility.
Thankfully, protein bars have come a long way. They are no longer hyper-sweet logs of cardboard and there are many more varieties, deriving their protein sources from whey to soy. Does this mean protein bars are now delicious? Hmm, questionable.
