Bars & Snacks

My Favorite Picks

These are my absolute favorite bars and snacks to fuel my on-the-go needs, pre or post workout, and if I just have a sweet tooth.

Legendary Brand Protein Pastry
★ #1 Pick

Legendary Brand Protein Pastry

20g Protein · 160–180 Cal

These are my #1. A little processed, but the taste is unreal — especially in the toaster or microwave.

Best flavors: Chocolate Cake, Strawberry, Brown Sugar Cinnamon. Also try the Legendary Donuts and Sweet Rolls.

David Bars
Bars

David Bars

28g Protein · 150 Cal

The macros are insane. Can be a bit bland, but the Cake Batter flavor is excellent.

Pro tip: break into pieces, shape into circles, microwave 15 sec → instant protein cookies.

Quest Protein Chips
Snacks

Quest Protein Chips

18–19g Protein · 150 Cal

Super versatile — use in protein nachos, with salsa, or as a quick savory snack. I tend to go sweet, but these definitely hit.

Best flavors: Loaded Beef Taco, Nacho Cheese, Mexican Street Corn.

Barebells Bars
Bars

Barebells Bars

20g Protein · 200 Cal

Macros aren't perfect but the crispy bits and white chocolate really hit the sweet tooth. Absurd amount of flavors — almost all of them are good.

Best flavors: Birthday Cake, Crispy Cream, Chocolate Dough, Key Lime Pie.

Quest Crispy Cookies and Cream
Bars

Quest Crispy Cookies and Cream

18g Protein · 150 Cal

Not all Quest bars are great, but this one is. The texture is to die for.

Blend in a shake or crush into yogurt for low-calorie texture. A personal staple.

Ready-To-Drink

Favorite Shakes

My go-to pre-made shakes for on-the-go needs, pre or post workout, and that I use in countless recipes.

Fairlife Core Power
★ All-Time #1

Fairlife Core Power Vanilla

42g Protein · 230 Cal

My all-time #1 pre-made shake. Phenomenal macros. I mix it with cold brew in the mornings, use it in my vanilla pudding recipe, or as milk for cereal.

Also great blended for the Cookies and Cream shake recipe.

Spylt Milk
Intra-Workout

Spylt Milk Caffeinated Cookies and Cream

20g Protein · 90 Cal · 60mg Caffeine

Love these during a workout — fuels without too many calories or feeling heavy. All flavors are addicting.

Best flavor: the original Cookies and Cream. Keeps you sharp without spiking you out.

Raw Cookies and Cream
CBUM's Brand

Raw Cookies and Cream

30g Protein · 150 Cal

Super protein efficient. CBUM's company — you know the macros are out of this world. The taste is fire.

Yes, I'm a sucker for Cookies and Cream. No apologies.
