WHICH BREAKFAST OR SNACK BARS ARE BEST

Hi, Lori. Clif Bars have various types, but all are quite high in simple sugars. The advantage is that the ingredients are generally organic. However, some also have palm oil as a source of fat, which is not generally recommended. They are OK as an occasional treat, especially the kid’s Z bars, but aren’t recommended for regular use.

Atkins bars are quite processed in nature, which is generally the type of thing recommended to avoid in this program, in favor of whole foods.

Hi, there. It is a minefield! So many are full of sugars and unnecessary fats – so thanks for asking!! Of course, we would first recommend making homemade muffins and bars, but if you really need a quick alternative, these are the “real” thing:
PureBar, Raw Revolution, and GoodOnYa – many, many flavors, and only simple ingredients

That’s a start – once you see what the ingredients look like, you can use those for comparison, and understand what makes a great bar.
