The Protein Bar You’re Eating Might Be Worse Than a Candy Bar (+ Clean Recipe Inside)
I checked the label so you don’t have to—and what I found in popular bars will blow your mind. Here’s a clean, protein-packed recipe instead.
🍫 Why Most Protein Bars Are a Lie (+ My Clean, No-Bloat Version)
You grab a protein bar thinking it’s healthy—but have you ever flipped it over?
What looks like a "fit snack" is often filled with:
Inflammatory seed oils (sunflower, canola, soybean)
Artifical sweeteners like glucose syrup, sucralose and stevia + brown rice syrup. These are 1000% why america is sick, bloated and on medications.
Natural flavors (aka chemical cocktails)
Here’s the thing:
Most of them are ultra-processed, filled with ingredients your body can’t recognize… and they’re making you bloated, tired, and hungrier an hour later. You think they are helping you hit protein but they are not. They are putting off an inflammatory response with every single bite. You need to stop putting anything inflammatory into your body if you want to feel good.
But don’t worry—I’ve got a clean fix.

✨ A Quick Story Before You Go…
A few years ago, I was doing everything right—or so I thought.
I had protein bars in my purse, almond milk in my fridge, gluten-free oats in my pantry. I was “being good.” But I was also bloated, tired by 2pm, and constantly craving something sweet.
Then I started reading the labels.
What I found shocked me: gums, oils, natural flavors, synthetic fiber, artificial sweeteners… in everything. Even the “healthy” stuff.
That’s when everything changed.
I swapped out those so-called health foods for simple, clean ingredients. I made my own protein bars. I ditched the almond milk with gums. I found swaps at Costco that actually made me feel better.
And guess what?
My energy came back. The cravings stopped. The bloat? Gone.
All from real food. No gimmicks. No magic powders. Just ingredients my body could actually recognize.
So if you’re standing where I once was—thinking you’re doing all the right things, but not feeling right—know this:
You’re not crazy. You’re just being misled.
I made this recipe for you. And if you want more clean swaps, recipes, and truth-bombs every single week…
