Protein bars are a very convenient way of getting the right nutrition your body needs without having to cook anything, or carry a shaker around with you - and of course some protein bars taste delicious and are a real treat to eat!

Many people just replace any unhealthy snacks that they normally eat such as chocolate bars, crisps and pastries with a protein bar that is much lower in sugar and higher in protein. This type of incremental change in diet can have a big effect over the course of weeks and months.

A newer development in this category are protein flapjacks that are a more natural snack when compared to chocolate coated protein bars. Protein flapjacks tend to offer better value than bars due to the way they are cooked and most flapjacks are packed with healthy oats, making them the perfect choice if you miss your breakfast or a snack.
