CLIF Whey Protein Peanut Butter Chocolate Bar (Editor's Pick)

Clif recently released its new Whey Protein Bar that comes in three flavors: coconut almond chocolate, peanut butter chocolate and salted caramel cashew. These tasty bars, which include no GMOs, are stocked with 14 grams of complete protein, including whey, pea and organic brown rice protein and include 5 grams of sugar. It's the perfect on-the-go protein snack, particularly if the 20-gram soy protein-based Clif Builder's bar is a lot for your stomach to take on.

One bar also includes 260 calories and 24 grams of total carbohydrates, making it a great snack in between meals.
