2. Soy-Free Protein Bars
• When people want to get in shape or
lose weight, they generally focus on
exercising more and eating better.
• However, our busy lifestyles often make
it challenging to stick to healthy foods
all the time, since meals can be time-
consuming to prepare.

3. Soy-Free Protein Bars
• I know personally that right after a long
run or an exhausting swim, the last

something quick and easy to eat.

4. Soy-Free Protein Bars
• That is where protein bars come in
handy. They generally contain a variety
of different nutrients, and they are small
and portable so we can conveniently
eat them on the go.
• They are especially nice to have after a
workout when we are not at home to
cook a healthy meal.

bars.

6. Soy-Free Protein Bars
• Some products pack in just as many
unhealthy ingredients as healthy ones.

8. Soy-Free Protein Bars
• One common ingredient found in many
protein bars is soy protein isolate.
• Some products even have this listed as
the main ingredient.
• Soy itself is not necessarily bad, but
most of the soybeans grown in the US
have been genetically modified and can
interfere with our hormones.

9. Soy-Free Protein Bars
• On top of that, soy protein isolate is
processed, which makes it a completely
different food than the fresh raw soybean
itself.
• Overall, it's a better idea to eat unprocessed
foods in their taw or natural form rather than
the processed alternative.
• Typically, processed foods contain less
nutrition anyway.

10. Soy-Free Protein Bars
• Eating an occasional protein bar with
this processed protein source may not
have a significant impact.
• However, in my opinion, I would not
want to eat one every day after working
out - especially if I have other easy
options.

11. Soy-Free Protein Bars
• Therefore, with a large number of so-
called "healthy" bars on store shelves
with soy protein, where does one go for
another option?
• It is time-consuming to read every
product label, and many supermarkets
do not carry a large variety.

13. Soy-Free Protein Bars
• The good news is that there are a
growing number of soy-free bars
available today, due in part to the paleo
movement.
• Some paleo-friendly bars may not
contain as much protein as traditional
products, but in many cases they
contain plenty.
