ThinkThin makes a good GF soft and chewy bar that is good for breakfast or pre-workout. The Chunky Peanut Butter bar has 20g protein and 240 calories. You can buy these at Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Raleys, Ralphs, and a number of other grocery stores. Make sure to read the wrapper as not all bars are GF.
Nugo has “Go Free” snack bars in Dark Chocolate Crunch that contain 9g protein and only 150 calories. They also have a carrot cake flavor, but it has a stale taste. The dark chocolate bar is really good, with a crispy rice texture with a chocolate dipped bottom. These are hard to find in stores, so I order them in bulk at www.nugonutrition.com.
Greens+ has energy and protein bars that are GF. These bars are organic and alkaline forming. The grams of protein varies depending on if you get an energy bar or protein bar, but both are around 250 calories. The chocolate bars taste better than the original flavor. Pick these up at grocery stores, Trader Joes or Whole Foods. Sometimes the protein bars are hard to find, so you can order them online at www.greensplus.com.
Zone Perfect Bars in Chocolate Peanut Butter do not have gluten listed ingredients, but the package notes it is manufactured in a facility that contains wheat. I’ve had no problems with these bars and, in my opinion, they are the best tasting.
EnviroKids has organic crispy rice bars in Peanut Choco Drizzle and various fruit flavors. The Drizzle flavor is like a delicious peanut buttery rice crispy bar and has a very light and airy density. Each time I go to Whole Foods, I buy all the boxes that are out (there are 6 bars in each box).
