Our favourite protein bars that actually taste good

Sometimes, you just can't predict what sort of snack you'll fancy. Cookie dough, birthday cake or perhaps some fudge brownie? With this selection box you can get the pick of all these flavours and more! That's right, you can now enjoy the taste of cookies and cream without any of the guilt. With six glorious flavours full of protein and fibre to choose from you'll never be left hungry. Each bar contains less than 2g of sugar but the coatings of chocolate and thick layers of caramel sure don't seem like it. amazon.co.uk

If you often find yourself reaching for chocolate bars but want something a little healthier, opt for this PhD Smart Bar. A soft protein centre is encased in gooey caramel and protein crunchies. To top it all off, the outside is covered in gorgeous, smooth chocolate. Each bar is packed with 20g of protein, less than 2.1g of sugar and is completely macro-friendly. You'll also be doing your bit for the environment, as these bars are 100% free of palm oil, unlike many alternatives. And if none of this has convinced you, maybe we can tempt you with the multi-use nature of this bar. It can be crumbled on to pancakes, ice cream or overnight oats for a protein power up. amazon.co.uk

Self-proclaimed 'no B.S', RXBAR makes simple but scrumptious protein bars that contain only five ingredients. All natural flavourings and no sugar, no added preservatives or colours and, basically, no rubbish. They're also gluten and dairy free. While most bars use milk as their base protein, RXBAR uses a combination of eggs and nuts. Egg whites are cholesterol-free and their protein is easily and quickly absorbed by the body, making them an unexpected but ideal choice for a protein bar. Nuts, on the other hand, are superfoods rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, as well as protein. We think the Blueberry flavour is best but if that's not your style you'll be happy to hear that this bar is also available in Peanut Butter and Chocolate Sea Salt varieties. amazon.co.uk

Trek, as the name suggests, makes for a great snack to take on a hike. Munch on this as you make those final steps to the top of Mount Everest and your energy will come flooding back. Are we being a little too ambitious? Hmm, maybe we'll eat this protein bar as we wander round the local park instead. Regardless, this flavour combination is delightful and compliments the base of mixed nuts wonderfully. This is a bit different to the majority of protein bars on the market. If you find other options with their 'perfect post-workout' claims slightly intimidating then this is the one for you. amazon.co.uk

Picture this. Six decadent layers of cake topped with hundreds and thousands. Your mouth waters just thinking about it. And when you take a bite… pure bliss. This bar tastes so indulgent that you'll be forgiven for thinking it's bad for you. In reality, this Birthday Cake flavoured protein bar contains 20g of protein, 9g of fibre and 18g of carbohydrates. Essential minerals such as copper and calcium are also included so each bite is bursting with benefits. You can enjoy them pre or post workout but we guarantee you'll find yourself reaching for one whenever those sugar cravings kick in. myprotein.com
