I am by no means a health professional, but I have been into health and fitness for around 8 years now, so I’ve definitely learned a thing or two! As someone who is passionate about having a healthy lifestyle (while still enjoying life) I jumped at the chance to try Alani Nu protein bars.
When trying a new product, I won’t lie – I’m pretty picky. I refuse to give up yummy tasting snacks just to save a few calories and I also refuse to fill my body with junk just because the packaging claims “healthy.” With Alani Nu I was immediately in awe of all the different products they had, ranging from protein powders to pre-workouts, supplements, energy drinks, protein bars, and more.
I ended up trying the Fit Snack Protein Bars in the flavor Munchies – a mix of pretzels, cookies, and nut butters. But if some how your mouth is not already watering, they also have other flavors including Chocolate Cake, Confetti Cake, Blueberry Muffin, and Fruity Cereal.
Taste:
The Fit Snack Protein Bar in the flavor Munchies was exceptionally tasty! The chocolate coating makes every salty-sweet bite absolutely delicious… and the real prize is when you find the pretzel pieces!
Nutrition:
These bars passed the taste test, however they were not completely off the hook. Everyone’s body is different, and for myself I try and eat an equal amount of protein and carbs, with a slightly lower amount of fats each day. This helps me stay strong, fueled, and filled with healthy fats, while not hitting that mid-day fatigue. In one protein bar their are 16 grams of protein, 17 grams of carbs, and 6 grams of fat. To break this down even further, 5 grams of the carbs are dietary fiber (which are healthy carbs!) and 0 grams of fats are trans fat (which is unhealthy fat!). To put this simply, for 170 calories I am feeding my body an (almost) equal amount of protein and carbs, while also getting some healthy fats from nuts and nut butters. Not to mention they are gluten free!
Great for:
- an on-the-go snack
- post workout snack
- if you’re gluten free
- if you’re wanting a healthy dessert alternative (these are sure to satisfy you’re sweet tooth!)
