Presidential protein bar
Thirty-two grams of protein, the same amount of carbs, and 310 calories. This bar is more meal than snack. But for those in the market to pack protein with a low sugar bar, this one is a good bet. OK, it's not a Snickers, but Barack's favorite is a good-tasting protein bar.
MET-Rx, ProteinPlus, Chocolate Roasted Peanut, $2.99, for one 3-ounce bar, at General Nutrition Centers.
