Protein bars can serve as meal replacement snacks or as pre-/post-workout supplements. The benefit of protein is to help aid in weight loss and increase lean muscle by repairing and rebuilding tissue in the body that has been broken down from strenuous exercise or physical activity. Protein bars are also convenient alternatives to protein shakes and are made with different ingredients that offer various benefits.
Furthermore, there are certain brands that concentrate more on the protein content of the bar and leave out the addition of synthetic or naturally occurring vitamins.
Detour
Detour's original protein bars, which include chocolate caramel and caramel peanut, are packed with 15 or 30 g of whey protein, depending on the size, and do not contain vitamins. Each bar is without trans fats and high-fructose corn syrup. In addition to Detour's signature candy bar taste, the protein bars are low in sugar, with 11 to 12 g, and contain 4 grams of fiber. You can purchase the caramel peanut and chocolate caramel flavors in a 15-pack for $26 to $32.
