Dive Bar Nutrition:
My Obsession with Protein Bars That Taste Like Cookie Dough (and My Weird Combos)
Let’s face it, finding healthy snacks that don’t taste like sadness is a never-ending quest. That’s why I’m shouting from the rooftops about Dive Bar Nutrition and their amazing “Dive Bars”! If you’re like me, with a permanent cookie dough craving but also, you know, trying to be healthy, these protein bars are about to become your new best friend. Dive Bar Nutrition has been leading the online fit-snack movement for years, particularly with the bariatric community, so you know they’re legit.
This post is right in time because they just dropped their February flavors, including the return of Red Velvet!
So, What ARE Dive Bars Anyway?
Dive Bars are protein bars that miraculously taste like cookie dough. I know, it sounds too good to be true, but trust me on this one. They’ve managed to bottle up that nostalgic flavor we all love into a convenient and protein-packed bar. They’re infused with protein, fiber, and even caffeine, making them perfect for on-the-go snacking. As someone who appreciates both fitness and flavor, I’m impressed that Dive Bar Nutrition created something that satisfies my sweet tooth while providing a good source of protein. The texture is also spot on for something you want to eat vs something you just suffer through. Apparently, each bar has the nutrition of 3 egg whites, a fruit cup, whole wheat toast, and a cup of coffee (yes, they are caffeinated)!
Why I’m Officially a Dive Bar Addict
I’m not exaggerating; these things are good. Here’s the breakdown:
- The Taste: Seriously, it’s like they stole my grandma’s secret cookie dough recipe and made it healthy-ish. Dive Bar Nutrition got FAMOUS for their cookie dough bars! The Trash Can Cookie flavor is what put them on the map!
- The Protein: Packed with protein, making it a guilt-free way to refuel after a workout or conquer that afternoon slump.
- The Convenience: Stash them everywhere – gym bag, desk drawer, apocalypse survival kit. You’ll thank me later.
- The Warmth: I eat them warm but they are good anytime with or without heating. I exclusively use my mini waffle iron for this, but if I am in a hurry I throw them in the microwave or airfryer. My waffle iron: https://amzn.to/41ahkan
- The Variety: Dive Bar Nutrition offers a flavor for every mood and they seasonally switch up with new ones so you don’t get bored.
My Totally Unhinged Dive Bar Creations
Okay, this is where things get interesting. I do not eat these protein bar straight out of the wrapper anymore. I like to EXPERIMENT. Here are some of my proudest (and weirdest) Dive Bar combos:
- Trash Can Cookie Dive Bar OR Brownie brittle and Lily’s dark chips: Chocolate is good on pretty much any Dive Bar, but especially the Trash Can Cookie! I throw it in the microwave and spread it like frosting.
- Strawberry Corner Dive Bar OR Blueberry Cobbler and @goodgoodbrand Blueberry Jam: Jam plus the fruit bars just tastes like pie filling out of can.
- Key Lime Pie Dive Bar + Whipped Cream: Don’t knock it ’til you try it. It is a classic combo.
- Red Velvet Dive Bar OR Pumpkin and Cream Cheese Frosting: Because who doesn’t need cream cheese frosting on this.
- PBCC Dive Bar + Nut Butter: Any kind of nut butter works wonders here but I’m a fan of the mixed nut butter:
- Monster Mellow Dive Bar + Peeps or Mini Marshmallows: For the ultra-sweet tooth.
- The GOAT Nuteller Professor Dive Bar + Good Good Hazelnut Spread: The ultimate hazelnut experience.
Don’t judge me until you’ve tried them! I dare you to get as creative (or crazy) as I do.
