High-quality protein is absolutely necessary for good health, fitness and overall performance. It is difficult to find powders or bars that do not contain artificial sweeteners and other unhelpful / unhealthful ingredients, but when you do, it’s worth giving it a try. Sometimes you have to experiment with different brands and types of protein before you know what works best for you. Below are some of the very best brands of animal-based protein powders and bars to try and to incorporate into your fitness lifestyle. Be sure to check out the Plant-Based Protein and the Grass-Fed Beef sections as well; both offer many great products that you’ll love for many reasons.
