While I don’t eat protein bars that often, I’ll have one when out on a hike or traveling. I appreciate their portability, convenience, and potential to quell hunger pangs.
Many on the market are lacking in taste and quality, so I was pleasantly surprised when I tried No Cow Dipped Protein Bars.
A protein bar is not a candy bar, but these still satisfied me and they didn’t cause energy dips from excess sugar. In fact, there is only 1 gram of sugar, 4 grams net carbs, and 20 grams of plant protein (sourced from brown rice protein and pea protein) per bar. I really like the fact that the palm oil in the product is sustainably sourced.
These bars are dairy free, soy free, vegan, non-GMO, keto-friendly, and certified gluten free. Dense and satisfying, I can have one of these and not feel hungry for a couple of hours afterward. I appreciate that they leave no chalkiness or funny aftertaste in the mouth either. They also have a pleasant and soft texture, which is lacking in so many brands that are crumbly and hard.
Of the dipped flavors I tried, my favorites were Chocolate Mint Cookie with its refreshing but not overpowering hint of mint, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup with its rich, nutty flavor.
