P90X Protein Bars: Nutrition on the Go
Many of us don’t have time to eat as healthy as we would like. When you have dedicated yourself to getting healthy and losing weight, you have to look for new and convenient options. You need meal and snack options that are ready to go in a snap. Lack of time is a very common reason for falling off of a diet. With high quality products like P90X protein bars, lack of time is no longer a valid excuse.
At the office or on the road, if hunger pangs hit it is so easy to settle for less than optimal snacks and meals. The vending machine down the hall may be calling your name, or the fast food chain on the corner might lure you in as you sit at a red light. Being prepared for these moments of weakness is vital and with P90X protein bars, you can rest assured that you have a nutritious and tasty alternative within reach.
A great addition to any desk drawer, purse, glove box, or gym bag, P90X protein bars are a great solution for on the go hunger.
The P90X Peak Performance Bars pack a whopping 18 grams of protein in each bar. They are also loaded with vitamins and come in a few flavor varieties. Your choices include Berry, Café Mocha, or Chocolate Peanut Butter flavors.
Because of the high level of proteins, if you workout on your lunch break and don’t have time to make a recovery drink, the P90X protein bars make an excellent post-workout snack. Muscles need protein to repair themselves after a tough workout. P90X is just that type of workout and the P90X protein bars are a great solution.
If you’re the type of person who rushes out the door in a whirlwind in the morning, finding time for breakfast can be a joke. Rather than stopping for a sausage biscuit, throw a P90X protein bar in your bag and eat that as a healthy meal replacement while commuting. With a great balance of nutrients the Peak Performance Bars are a great way to fit breakfast into any busy schedule.
Having healthy snack options available to you throughout the day is essential to ward of intense between meal cravings and hunger. When we are hungry and in a rush we need something within reach to satisfy us without breaking our nutritional stride. P90X protein bars do just that.
Is the protein bars just a 30 day supply? (provided you eat one a day)

Hello Andrew,
There are only 12 bars box so if you’re looking for a months worth, you may need to get a couple more boxes.

Hello Linda,
The quick and short way to say this is Crystal Light drink mixes OK, diet sodas not OK. And also, you should only be drinking the Crystal Light mixes in moderation. Enjoy your workouts.

Little confused on protein bar. At Level 1 and it suggests 1 protein bar and a recovery drink for snack in the meal plan. First question is do you eat the whole protein bar or only a 1/2…as in the portions section it says 1/2 bar is a snack. Second question…don’t have recovery drink yet so can I use an item from the snack portion to replace it?

Hello Denise,
If you are following the meal plan, eat the whole bar. That whole bar was calculated into the daily values for the meal plan. For the portions approach, for a single snack, it’s half the bar. Try following one of the approaches. Looking at two can get confusing.
I apologize, but I am not sure what your second question is. You should have a recovery drink after your workouts no matter what. If you want to have one for a snack, it is listed in both approaches. I am not sure if that answered your second question, but hopefully it helped!

I have a question. I have been eating a protein bar as my morning snack almost daily….I generally don’t have an afternoon snack as I don’t find I’m hungry….I’m a level 1 in phase 1, the guide says I can have a protein bar and recovery drink in addition to my 1 snack and 5 proteins, 1 fruit, 2 veggies, 2 dairy, 1 carb, 1 condiment, and 1 fat, so the protein bar doesn’t count towards my 5 other protein allotments does it? Thank you!

Hello Shelley,
No, the protein bars are counted as snacks in the portions approach. You should still get your 5 servings of protein from other foods in as well.

I just ordered your fitness program today and had a question about protein bars and shakes. Are your products offered anywhere besides your web site? I’m sure that question will be answered when I receive my order, but I was wondering if I would be able to find what I need locally.

Hello Brian,
As far as I know, Beachbody products are generally not sold in stores. You can probably find other products in stores that are similar, but not the Beachbody brand.

I just started the program and am following the portion plan. It calls for 1 snack, 1 bar and 1 recovery drink per day. I have been alternating almonds, soy nuts and string cheese for my snack. Should I eat 1/2 the bar or the entire thing? What about the recovery drink? Thank you!
I’m on my second month of the program and I can’t help but notice that the meal plan doesn’t always match up with the portions it says we should be eating. I don’t have my book on hand, but I remember that one dinner calls for 3 oz of parmesan cheese which according to the portion approach qualifies as 3 dairy and the 2nd phase of the plan only calls for 2 dairy. Is it a misprint, or is the meal plan that different from the portion approach?
I am just beginning the program. What is Turkey Jerky? Also, if I am working out in the evening, should I be eating dinner after my workout?
