protein bar

Portable muscle fuel

A protein bar is a portable snack formulated to deliver a concentrated dose of protein, typically 10-30 grams per bar.

Marketed to athletes, dieters, and busy people seeking convenient nutrition, protein bars range from candy-bar-like indulgences to chalky meal replacements: I grabbed a protein bar between meetings.

The category blurs with energy bars and granola bars.
