If you’re ever looking for me at Heinen’s, chances are I’m either in the Produce department loading up on fresh fruits and veggies or in the Wellness department replenishing my supply of supplements and nutrition bars.
Because I know how confusing labels can be, I created a set of nutrition guidelines to help you choose the healthiest bar for your dollar.
For a bar to be Club Fx-Approved, it must:
1. Contain no more than 10 grams of added sugar (all the bars in this list have less than that!)
2. Be free of GMOs.
3. Have no inflammatory seed oils (sunflower, canola, vegetable, etc.)
4. Be made with real food and no additives, preservatives, or artificial ingredients.
To fuel your body with the nutrition it craves, stock your pantry with one of these Club Fx-Approved bars in Heinen’s Wellness department.
- Balanced Tiger Bar: A cleverly crafted bar made from a blend of functional mushrooms grown in Southern California. The mushroom mix includes cordyceps for energy, lion’s mane for focus and productivity, reishi for stress balance and sleep support, and chaga to boost your immune system.
- Gomacro Bar: Praised for its delicious flavor, chewy texture, and clean ingredients, you’ll appreciate the satisfying taste and high protein content of Gomacro bars. They are a popular choice for breakfast and a nutritious snack option.
- IQBAR®: If you experience mental fatigue or tiredness during the day, this bar has you covered. IQBAR® provides 12 grams of protein along with vitamins and nutrients that support brain health, such as magnesium, Lion’s Mane, MCTs, Vitamin E, and flavonoids.
- Larabar: Made from whole foods like unsweetened fruits, nuts, and spices, Larabars are as simple as it gets. Each indulgent flavor contains no more than nine ingredients, is minimally processed, and is as close to its natural state as possible.
- Over Easy Bar: Known for its soft texture, what makes this locally crafted bar unique is that it offers a nice amount of protein from egg whites. The inclusion of nut butter also gives these bars the perfect amount of healthy fat to keep you satisfied all morning.
- Raw Rev Glo Bar: A mix of healthy fat from peanuts and coconut oil, dietary fiber from chia seeds, and 13 grams of vegan protein, Raw Rev Glo bars are sure to satisfy your tastebuds and belly. Its cookie-dough-like texture makes it extra indulgent!
- RxBar: Your ultimate protein bar for on-the-go mornings, protein-powered snacks, and workout energy boosts. I especially love how RxBar displays its ingredients right on the front of the package. Now that’s what I call transparency!
- Tosi Crunchy Bar: These bars are like granola, but grain-free. Each flavor gets its protein from nuts and seeds only. Enjoy as a snack or crumble into unsweetened plant-based yogurt.
- Wellwerks Bar: Each Wellwerks bar is made with whole food ingredients like apples, blueberries, elderberries, and sunflower seeds. What makes these bars truly special is the addition of unique science-backed ingredients formulated to support key areas of health, such as immune function, cardiovascular health, and improved mental clarity.
- Wise Bar: Looking to boost your energy or enhance your immunity? Try Wise Bar’s delicious, chewy snack bars, packed with 3,000 mg of adaptogens — special plants, herbs, and fungi that promote balance and health.
Homemade Nutrition Bar Recipes
There’s nothing better than a homemade nutrition bar! Here are a few of my favorite recipes, made with simple ingredients that come together in no time. Store them in freezer bags in your fridge or freezer for a quick meal or snack on the go.
- No-Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Bars: A blend of sprouted oats, chocolate plant protein, chia seeds, and creamy peanut butter creates a balanced bite that’s hearty, chocolatey, and naturally sweetened with honey.
- Lemon Raspberry Quinoa Bars: Loaded with bright raspberries and zesty lemon juice, these baked bars have a flavor that will wake you up in the morning or give you a mid-day boost! They’re also loaded with fiber and healthy fats from almond butter, quinoa, and oats, which will keep you feeling fuller longer.
- Maca Energy Bars: These no-bake bars are an on-the-go breakfast that’s chock-full of omega-3-rich nuts and seeds. They also have a secret ingredient called maca: a medicinal plant grown high in the mountains of Peru that can enhance strength, stamina, and mental clarity. A few tablespoons of Heinen’s organic maca powder is all you need to enhance the nutritional value of these simple bars!
