What are the health benefits of protein bars? Do they replace your breakfast?

1^st September to 7^th September is celebrated as Nutrition week all over the world. During this Nutrition week let us look at the health benefits of protein bars. Protein bars are loaded with energy boosting ingredients like protein powder, healthy seeds, and grains which are low in carbs and high in protein. They can be made easily at home.

These protein bars can be taken in morning breakfast, post workout and even as an evening snack. Let us look at some of the health benefits of protein bars:

• As these bars are full of vital vitamins and minerals, they are best for your weight management. They are a healthy replacement for snacks taken between meals, instead of munching on some unhealthy oily snacks.

• They fulfill your protein needs for the day.

• They are easy to carry and can be taken at any time and anywhere. They are best taken before and after a workout.

All said and done they are not a replacement for your breakfast. They can be only a part of your healthy breakfast because these protein bars do not have antioxidants found in fresh fruits and veggies.
