"I have a hard time eating before morning workouts, but without a little something in my system, I start dragging 40 minutes into hour-long cardio dance session and I want to give it my all for all 60 minutes. I have become partial to breakfasting on half of a Maple Sea Salt RXBAR ($26 for a box of 12) and savoring the second half after my workout. The maple flavor reminds me of classic morning meals like pancakes and waffles, which makes eating a protein bar in the morning much more palatable. This RXBAR meets the fairly stringent requirements of the Whole30 eating plan, so I feel confident my Maple bar makes the cut for my clean-eating routine. The Maple Sea Salt flavor, which is not too sweet and not too salty, offers 12 grams of protein and five grams of fiber. And all that nutritional goodness comes from only six ingredients: dates, egg whites, pecans, cashews, sea salt, and natural maple flavor." — SM
