Protein bars promote muscle mass growth when part of a balanced diet and supported by a physical training program. To stimulate muscle mass development, consume the protein bar within 30 minutes after the end of your workout when the body absorbs proteins most effectively. Recovery after a sports performance is as important as the training itself. Immediately after a prolonged or intense effort, the body needs to replenish depleted reserves. Of course, it is impossible to build muscles without physical training, even if you consume proteins daily.

Protein bars and daily nutrition

First and foremost, it is important to know that proteins stimulate and promote the growth of lean muscle mass. Recovery shakes and protein bars are often associated with sports and muscle growth. However, even if you do not engage in sports or if you are a sports enthusiast aiming to lose weight, protein bars are a valuable addition to your daily nutrition. Thanks to their satiating power, protein bars reduce your appetite and irresistible cravings for sweet snacks. They are especially useful when you are on the go and feel the urge to grab a snack or sweets at a gas station. In such cases, a protein bar serves as a healthy and better alternative.

Kristof: The bar is truly top-notch: nowhere else can you find 15 grams of whey isolate protein and 3 grams of leucine in a bar. The other 5 grams are soy proteins. This bar is a worthy substitute for 3 to 5 grams of leucine or half a serving of Pro Elite Recovery.

Of course, the preference still goes to Pro Elite Recovery: it’s faster, more powerful, and more noticeable. But if you don’t have recovery with you or if you want to increase your protein intake, this is really the bar. And affordable too!
