15 Best Ready-to-Eat Gastric Bypass Snacks

If you’re anything like me, you need food to be on had all the time.  I stash food around like a squirrel storing up for winter.  This keeps my blood sugar even all day, and keeps me from making any kind of convince store stops, or running through the nearest drive through.  I’ve already posted about great snacks that you can make/keep at home (read it here) but they aren’t all very portable.  So I scoured around, and found 15 of the top rated snacks that meet our protein needs, are low in sugars, and are portable!

#2:  Pure Protein Crunch Chocolate

#3:  Ostrim Snack Stick, Teriyaki

Fav protein bars

I love protein bars. They are such a portable way to get energy, make a great meal substitution, and satisfy my sweet tooth. I’ve tried so many brands, but some are too heavy, some are chalky, or taste like sawdust. Of course, everyone’s tastes are different, but here is a list of my favorites, and they are all rated 4 stars or higher on Amazon.com too!

Quest: These bars are dense and satisfying. I like that they give you a “full” feeling, but are still very low in sugar, and high in protein.

Pure Protein: Bars similar in texture to Quest bars; they also come in a variety of flavors, are low sugar, and very high in protein.

The Simply Bar protein bar: I like that these bars bars have a light and airy texture. and are low in sugar.

Power Crunch Bar: Wafer type protein bars. My personal fav is the French Vanilla; tastes just like dessert!

Clif Builders Bar: Very filling, good taste and texture.

Supreme Protein Carb Conscious: Great flavor, and 15g of protein in each bar.

Luna Protein Bar: I love that these bars have fiber as well as protein. Helps to keep you full.
