Protein bars. They’re so quick and easy. But are they just candy in disguise or can they be a bariatric-friendly choice? There are zillions of bars to choose from and they can be so confusing to decipher the labels. What’s a good choice? What’s just a candy bar in a trendy wrapper? Isabel, Gayle and I will tell you how to pick the best protein bars.
