What Makes a Good Protein Bar or Shake?
A good protein bar or shake should be easy to enjoy and easy to understand. Start with protein per serve. Some snacks offer around 10g, while others push past 20g. Calories per bar or shake matter too, especially if you’re snacking between meals. Sugar and sweeteners vary, so low sugar protein bars suit some routines better than others. Fibre helps with satiety, while texture and taste decide if you’ll buy it again. Think simple macros, clear labels, and flavours you’ll actually look forward to.
Protein Bars vs Protein Shakes (RTDs) - What’s the Difference?
Protein bars feel more like a snack. They’re chewy, low mess, and ideal as protein bars for office drawers or commutes. Protein shakes and protein RTDs (ready-to-drink) are faster and easier. No prep. No crumbs. They’re popular as protein shakes for gym bags, especially post-workout. Both formats are single serve and portable. The right choice often comes down to when and where you plan to use them.

For Gym Days
Protein shakes for gym routines suit both pre workout snacks and post workout snacks, depending on timing.
For Lunchboxes
