Energy bars - Which ones are safer and nutritious?

For those who love to snack on energy or so called protein bars, this post is for you. I've shortlisted 2 of the ideal brands for these bars which I think is safer yet nutritious then commercial bars which is sold in supermarkets, convenient stores, supplement shops and even organic outlets. 

Most bars are loaded with sugar as well as toxic ingredients such as aspartame, sucralose, MSG and its similiar substances, artificial sweeteners and flavorings, pesticides, preservatives and etc. Although I wouldn't recommend to snack on these bars regularly, as opting for organic whole foods is the way to go. For most fitness enthusiasts and bodybuilders, energy or protein bars are considered to be part of their diet, in a way. Anyway, below are 2 different types of bars which you could either call it energy bars or whatever it is. Avoid commercial energy or protein bars at all cost! Consume energy bars as 'emergency'  option, if you know you are unable to grab a proper meal at certain time. Also, ensure that any bar which you purchased, has less then 8 ingredients. Typical commercial bars easily have more then 10 to 12 total ingredients. I love the LUVJU bars! Taste delicious!
