Somewhere between sawdusty protein bars and sugar-packed impostors lies a healthy afternoon snack that actually tastes good.

Best Chewy Energy Bar

Winner

Gnu Foods Flavor & Fiber Cinnamon Raisin
Delicious, raved testers. "Like an oatmeal cookie," one said.
Dietitian's verdict: This snack is rich in fiber, which helps you feel full and curbs your appetite. (Contains 130 calories, four grams of protein, and 12 grams of fiber.)

Runner-Up

Clif Bar Chocolate Chip
Definitely tasty, but almost too chewy.
