If you think you are not in Kansas anymore, you are right (maybe). These nutrition and paleo protein bars are not your traditional bars. Don’t be alarmed… just go try one.
Cliff Notes on the Chart:
- Most bars are all gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free. Therefore, I combined them into one column and noted if otherwise.
- The price listed is per bar. Keep in mind that some products are larger than others, but the size doesn’t vary too much.
- Products are usually sold in boxes of 8-15, therefore they are cheaper than when purchased individually.
… What About KIND Bars?
KIND bars are another good healthy snack that are gluten-free and are all-natural with low glycemic levels (minimal sugar). However, all flavors that I saw contained puffed rice - which some paleo eaters may not (or may) like.
