My Favorite Gluten-Free Protein Bars
Many of us tackle our days without scheduling meals. We get on a roll and before we know it we’re hangry. When I get to the hangry phase, I need a protein bar. But, many protein bars have gluten and other junk in them. So, when an old friend introduced me to 3BAR, there was no question it would be my new snack obsession.
I recently reconnected with a friend of thirty years. We hustled our way through college waiting tables. Erin was always fit and wise about nutrition. While I was partying, she was running marathons. I should have known her next level fitness and nutrition would fulfill some big dreams. It turns out, Erin is the Founder and CEO of 3BAR.
3BAR came to be when Erin’s friends inspired her to turn her grandmother’s cookies into a healthier snack. Erin became a Sports Nutrition Consultant and transformed her grandmother’s cookies into a nutritional snack called 3BAR.
3BAR – MY NEW SNACK OBSESSION
The 3 in 3BAR represents the three macros needed for perfect nutrition. 3BARs are vegan and free of gluten, soy and trans fats. And they have fewer sugar and carbs than most popular bars. Here’s how 3BAR stacks up.
