Is the following protein bar (Pro Bar Base) safe to eat?:

What about Earth Balance original spread?:

Hi - not crazy about those bars. The fat content is too high, and it's got inulin in there as well. See if you can find a safer brand.
The Earth Balance is a great sub for butter, but beware that all fats - even heart healthy ones - are GI stimulants. Quantity is key. Go low fat, but not fat free, so use the Earth Balance but not in huge quantities, and always with a good soluble fiber foundation.
Best,

But this protein bar is so tasty!  Do you have any specific recommendations for protein bars?
Glad to hear the Earth Balance is good to go! I don't use it for much, but it's nice to have around when I need it.
Thank you for all of your help with this newbie!
