Think Protein Bar

Think Protein Bar is a snack bar sold under the Esplanda brand. The name signals a protein-focused bar, and bars in this category are usually dense and chewy, with a sweet, nutty or cocoa-leaning flavor. The listing doesn't give a flavor, ingredient list, bar weight or nutrition panel, so check the wrapper for those before you rely on any of them. Bars like this are normally eaten straight from the wrapper at room temperature, where the texture is at its softest. In a cold bag or a cool room they tend to firm up. If you want a softer bite, keep one in a pocket or at your desk for a few minutes beforehand. You can also chop one into pieces and stir it into plain yogurt or oatmeal, or crumble it over a bowl of fruit. For drinks, expect a protein bar to pair well with black coffee, tea or a glass of cold milk. Their bitterness or creaminess balances the sweetness. No glassware is needed. This is a grab-and-go product, easy to carry for a commute, a desk drawer or a gym bag.
