Most of those involve adding copious amounts of sugar to make the bars taste bearable. This, of course, has other health negatives. I've seen protein bars with 50+ grams of sugar in them!

I mean, RxBars are full of dates, which are basically pure sugar.

Cut out three of the ingredients from each bar.
4 Cashews, No BS
1 Egg, No BS
2 Dates, No BS

I happen to like RxBars quite a bit and was upset when they had to do that peanut-allergy-related recall a few months ago. My palette is probably unsophisticated but the taste of dates dominates the flavor and I don't mind that at all.

Why not just drink a protein shake straight up mixed with water then? More protein for a lesser amount of carbs.

i guess for me it's just easier to buy an rx bar on the way to the gym. i also do not like consuming protein in liquid form
