Peanut Butter Whey Protein Bar (HYP) (1 Serving)

Eat the bar after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach; include protein and non-starchy vegetables such as eggs, chicken, broccoli, or salad.

Have only half the bar at a time and save the remainder for later, especially if the full serving consistently causes a large rise.

Pair it with a small amount of fiber- and fat-rich foods such as chia seeds, almonds, walnuts, or plain Greek yogurt.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk or do light movement soon after eating it.

Check the ingredient list for rapidly absorbed carbohydrates such as sugar, syrups, maltodextrin, rice flour, or large amounts of dates; choose a bar with less added sugar and more fiber.

Test the bar at different times of day and compare it with a lower-carbohydrate snack, such as cottage cheese with berries or a hard-boiled egg with avocado.
