protein bars
Portable gym fuel
Protein bars are snack bars formulated with high protein content, marketed to athletes, dieters, and people seeking convenient nutrition.
They range from candy-bar-like indulgences to chalky meal replacements: I grabbed a protein bar between meetings.
The category blurs into energy bars and granola bars, with protein content being the distinguishing claim.
