Protein bars vs. protein powders

[Deranger]

I just have a hypothetical question to ask all of you experts on here. If you had to choose between eating protein bars everyday or drinking protein shakes which one would you choose to give you the best protein absorption in your body. I see so many bars and protein tubs for sale at the supplement store I have no clue which direction to go

 

[stevesmi]

well i wouldn't choose either. my pick is REAL FOOD

but if you insist on me picking i would pick a protein bar with as few ingredients as possible that i made on my own. you can make it easily yourself using raw nuts, raw honey and fruit

I suggest protein bars instead of protein powders, they taste better and absorb.

bro no matter what you choose you need to read ingredients. lot of bad products

Food first. Then I'd choose the shake

I try to get mine from food but keep powder with me at all times just in case I get in a pinch

It would depend on the ingredients but likely a shake that has 5 or less ingredients.

Natural organic foods would be my first choice, then protein powders a second. Protein bars are laced with unwanted compounds to extend shelf life this does not happen with powders since they are dry.
