My favorite protein bars are the Promax bars. They contain 20 grams of protein and are really delicious! They however contain lots of sugars (25 grams of sugars). If you do buy it, I'd recommend the cookie and dough flavor. If you're looking for a protein bar with fewer sugars, I'd recommend Pure Protein by Worldwide Sports Nutrition.
Protein bars typically contain a combination of different proteins like whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, milk protein, and soy protein isolate.
The popular gluten free protein bars include Luna bars, Quest bars, Nogii
Bars, PR bars, and more. For a complete and more detailed list of gluten free

: I think that in the morning you must eat a whole food meal. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and a protein bar is not enough to give you that morning boost (that you get from carbs and protein bars don't have enough of). However, if you absolutely have no time to prepare breakfast, then eating a protein bar is definitely better than not eating at all. You can add a fruit or two as well.
The most popular protein bars are: Detour Bars, Promax bars, Pure Protein Bars by Worldwide Sports Nutrition, ISS Oh Yeah bars, Supreme Protein Carb Conscious bars, VPX Zero Impact bars, and Met-Rx Protein Plus Food bars.
Let's take a look at the nutritional differences between the two and then
you can decide which one is better for your dietary needs. Calories wise, the
Power Bar contains 250 calories and Cliff Energy Bars contain 230 calories. So
not a big difference here. Regarding the amount of carbs and fats in each
product, Power Bar contains 42 grams of carbs (20 gram of sugars) and 5 grams
of fat (2.5 grams of saturated fat).
Cliff Energy Bars contain 44 grams of carbs (23 grams of sugar) and 4.5 grams
of fats (1.5 gram of saturated fat). Both bars contain 5 grams of fiber, which
is 20% of the daily value of fiber for a 2,000 calories diet. Finally, Power
Bars contain 10 grams of protein, while Cliff Energy Bars contain 9 grams of
protein (protein is not really important for energy). So basically both bars
have very similar nutritional values.
