PROTEIN BARS Protein bars are exactly like protein powder in that they are used for the same reason. The only difference is, a bar doesn't need to be mixed with a liquid, and it is small enough to carry around in your pocket and take anywhere if you wanted to. A Pure Protein bar can be used as a high protein, low carb and low fat meal replacement, a snack, or a way to get protein when you aren't home and can't mix the protein powder. The only downside to Protein Bars is that they do have higher levels of sugar and carbohydrates compared to shakes, therefore should only be consumed 5-6 times weekly. You should especially look out for bars with low net impact carbs.
