Peanut Butter Protein Bar (The Whole Truth) (1 Serving)

Choose a lower-sugar protein bar with more fiber and minimal added syrups; compare labels and prioritize bars with higher protein and fiber per serving.

Eat the bar after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach, especially one containing non-starchy vegetables, protein, and healthy fats.

Have a small portion of nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or pistachios alongside or before the bar to slow absorption.

Reduce the serving size: eat half the bar, wait 1–2 hours, and save the remainder if your glucose response stays elevated.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating the bar, if this is safe and appropriate for you.

Try a different snack such as plain Greek yogurt with berries, cottage cheese with cucumber, or hard-boiled eggs with avocado instead of the bar.
