Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Long gone are the days when protein bars were something chalky and bland that you choked down before or after a workout. Nowadays they have actually become a fitness treat that we look forward to, in some cases even replacing our traditional puds.
Whether you’re a long-distance cycler or a heavy lifter, these moreish snacks are a great way to help boost your daily protein intake. Protein is essential for a whole range of natural body processes including cell reproduction, bone strength, managing hormones and enzymes, and, of course, building muscle. These often high-calorie beauties are also an essential way for those involved in vigorous exercise to gain back muscle mass.
To make things easier (and tastier) for you, we’ve tried and tested a whole host of protein bars, to find the ones that work and actually taste good at the same time, including our favourite flapjack from Myprotein.

Who doesn’t love a flapjack? The favourite childhood treat now comes with another hidden benefit, protein. MyProtein’s oat flapjacks made it into our round-up of the best protein bars as the absolute best-tasting option, and that’s really saying something.
Our tester said: “This flapjack bar is very moreish – it tastes great, the texture is buttery soft and, with 20g of protein, it’s got a lot more protein than many other bars out there.” A great taste and plenty of muscle-loving protein, what more could you want? Due to its high-calorie count, it’s a perfect pick for endurance athletes like cyclists or runners for a mid-workout energy boost.
Having had just one, our tester found these golden syrup-soaked squares dangerously moreish and said they felt the urge to reach for them time and time again. Don’t just take our word for it though, pick up a box for yourself, and thank us later.
