The Best Snack Bar for You
The best snack bars are the ones that are made with ingredients your grandma would recognize. Many are formulated using stuff with weird names like "inulin" (a type of fiber) and "soy isolate" (a type of protein). (More: Give Your Diet a "Real Food" Makeover) "Make sure the primary ingredients are whole or minimally processed foods, such as almonds, cherries, and oats," says Alan Aragon, M.S., Men's Health's weight-loss coach. Whole foods deliver greater health benefits than refined ones do because a food's nutrients are more powerful when they work together, which they can't do as well after being dissected in a lab. (For more top supermarket picks, look for these 125 Best Foods for Men.) Aragon also looks for at least 4 grams each of fiber and protein and less than 250 calories. But flavor counts, too, so we went beyond the numbers and tasted more than a dozen bars. Here are our fab five.
Nut: Kind Peanut Butter and Strawberry
Peanuts and almonds have protein and crunch, while the strawberry provides a chewy texture and a tart taste in this lower-sugar bar.
190 calories, 7 grams (g) protein, 18 g carbohydrates (4 g fiber, 10 g sugar)
Granola: 18 Rabbits Nibblin' Apricot
This hybrid granola bar mixes soft, fiber-rich apricots and raisins with crunchy, heart-friendly hazelnuts, walnuts, and cacao nibs.
210 calories, 4 g protein, 32 g carbohydrates (4 g fiber, 12 g sugar)
Fruit: Larabar Apple Pie
Made only with dates, almonds, apples, walnuts, raisins, and cinnamon, this chewy, sweet, gluten-free bar is high in fiber and delivers one serving of fruit. 190 calories, 4 g protein, 24 g carbohydrates, (5 g fiber, 18 g sugar)
Seeds: Bumblebar Chunky Cherry
Tart, chewy cherry offsets the granular texture and nutty taste of the sesame seeds in this protein-rich, gluten-free organic bar.
180 calories, 5 g protein, 18 g carbohydrates (4 g fiber, 13 g sugar)
Granola (With Chocolate): Odwalla Chocolate Chip Peanut
Packed with protein and super-filling, this bar is like a peanut-butter-and-oatmeal cookie spiked with gooey chocolate chips and crispy rice.
230 calories, 7 g protein, 33 g carbohydrates (4 g fiber, 14 g sugar)
Energy bars are a convenient, on-the-go snack to toss in your gym bag, but they can be full of added sugar and other not-so-desirable ingredients. Plus, they’re not exactly cheap. These recipes are healthy, quick (all it takes is a quick spin in the food processor) and mostly no-bake. Freeze your homemade creations — with a variety of nuts, seeds, fruit, and grains — for a later date, or pack the freshly made bars in a Ziploc bag for a portable breakfast or mid-morning snack.
Apricot and Cashew Bars
For a tropical treat, try these scrumptious bars made with apricots, cashews and unsweetened coconut. Rolled oats and hemp seeds, packed with omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids, hold all the ingredients together. If you don’t have agave syrup on hand, honey works too.
Chocolate, Cashew and Almond Bars
Now tell us this doesn’t look like dessert. Dates and cashews make up the base of this bar, while cocoa powder, unsweetened coconut and vanilla add decadence (without all the guilt). If you have trouble finding moist, soft dates (oftentimes they’re pretty dry), soak them overnight in water before tossing in the food processer.
Apple Cinnamon Bars
Full of fall flavor, these bars mix pecans, oats, dates, cinnamon, granny smith apples and just a touch of salt. Bake the pecans before pulsing in the food processor for a more robust, roasted flavor. if you’d like these bars a little extra spicy, don’t be afraid to go to town on the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.
