Ever stand in the protein bar aisle and feel completely overwhelmed? 🙋♀️ There are SO many options, and despite what the packaging says, not every "protein bar" is created equal. As a registered dietitian (and someone living with type 1 diabetes), I'm not looking for the bar with the fewest carbs. I'm looking for the one that offers the best balance of:
✔️ Protein
✔️ Fiber
✔️ Healthy fats
✔️ Minimal added sugar
✔️ Great taste (because if it doesn't taste good, you're probably not going to eat it!) Remember: a bar doesn't have to be labeled "diabetes-friendly" to be a great choice. Knowing what to look for is far more important than the marketing on the front of the package. #diabetes #bloodsugar #proteinbar #protein #proteinsnack
