The Comfort Bar, sold\u00a0online exclusively on <a title=\"oaks at ojai\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oaksspa.com\/storefront\/?p=productsMore&amp;iProduct=87&amp;sName=Comfort-Bar--Italian-Chocolate-Orange-Almond\" target=\"_blank\">Oaks at Ojai<\/a> and in limited retail locations in the U.S., packs 15 grams of protein and five grams of\u00a0fiber into every bar. There are no corn syrups, trans fats, artificial flavors or\u00a0sweeteners, which is important as a protein bar with a list of junk ingredients is not what\u00a0we would call a healthy snack.<\/p>\n<p>Our recommendation when looking at <a title=\"healthy protein bars\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/03\/the-truth-about-protein-bars\/\" target=\"_self\">protein bars<\/a> is to look at the ingredient list to make sure it doesn&#8217;t\u00a0contain any unhealthy ingredients and make sure it has\u00a0at least 10 grams of protein and less than 10\u00a0grams of sugar.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Comfort Bar hits the mark with additional protein, but is slightly higher on the sugar\u00a0content. With that said, the bars are sweetened with agave nectar, which does not spike\u00a0blood sugar as it is slowly absorbed in our system and is a popular sweetener used among\u00a0diabetics.<\/p>\n<p>Comfort Bar is a nice option for <a title=\"slim fast diet\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diets\/Slim-Fast\/\" target=\"_self\">meal replacement<\/a>, especially for those on the go.  For a\u00a0snack, we typically like fruit and nuts as whole foods that aren&#8217;t processed in\u00a0any way and provide more nutrients; but in a pinch, protein bars can be a good option. Also,\u00a0for those with food allergies (gluten and wheat) this protein bar could, as the name states, provide you some comfort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the thousands of sufferers out there that are either gluten intolerant or have a hard  time digesting wheat, there is a protein bar out there for you.
