    Are you eating it because you need the protein for work-outs, or because they sound like a healthy snack (while you don't need the extra protein)?

    My above question aside, I like a lot of the Quest bars. Many of them turn effin' amazing when microwaved a few seconds...

    Opti and Combat Crunch seem to be popular, too. Stepbro (bodybuilder) likes'm as a snack occasionally.

    I've had the Optimum Nutrition cake-bites, too. THOSE are damned good. o____o

    All the above listed are 20g protein per bar/package (cake bites are 3 to a pack, so 20g for package).

    I don't get enough protein in sometimes and I would like a snack that tastes good to fill me up when I'm slightly hungry

    Quest are good. Expensive but good. There are others out there...I just have a hard time justifying $2.50 US for a bar. I have found them on sale once in a while...then they are a good deal

    I second this about microwaving quest bars. Especially the cookies and cream flavour and chocolate chip cookie dough. I put the bar on a plate in the microwave for about 20 seconds and then I eat with a spoon. Yum!

    Probably going to have to go to the local store and buy a few brands. This is largely individual. I love quest bars (especially heated up), snickers marathon bars (favorite) and Cliff bars.

    I'm really in love with the Special K protein bars. Bars about 170 calories and 12g protein. They really save the day when I don't really get a break at work.

    Larabars, only a few all natural ingredients, and tasty.

    Oh Yeah! ONE Bars are the shiiiiiiz, specifically Birthday Cake and Lemon Cake. I like their texture significantly better than Quest Bars.

    However, there is a special place in my heart for Quest Apple Pie Bars baked in a toaster oven...

    I love so many bars. They're all expensive, so I only buy them when they go on sale. Quest's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is good cold, warm, or heated. This week I've enjoyed Oatmega's White Chocolate Raspberry and Chocolate Brownie Crisp flavors. Fitjoy, Oh Yeah One, Combat Crunch, etc. are also good. B-UP bars are generally bland imo, but I did like their Red Velvet Cupcake flavor.

    http://yupbrands.com/ These people make a good "Clean" bar = no soy = no corn byproducts...nice and tasty with a great texture. (plus it s the only one that doesn't make me bloat or give me hives) and I have tried them all. :/

    I'm 110% guilty of microwaving the Mission1 brownie bars and then putting rocky road frozen yogurt on top. 330 cals, 23g of protein. It's approximately the same calories I would spend to have the low protein version of this (an actual brownie) but I get way closer to my protein macro.

    For the price, I like Pure Protein.

    Generally, I am not a fan of traditional protein bars like Quest or Pure Protein, something about the texture bothers me. My husband loves them though.

    I prefer Kind bars and I have found I like certain flavors of the Luna Protein bars (specifically the mint chocolate chip and chocolate walnut fudge).

    I must be like the only person who finds Quest bars gross and I have tried different flavors. I like Thinkthin bars they have about 20g of protein and Oh Yeah (I think is the brand) bars they have one called Birthday Cake even has sprinkles on it, so good!

    As I don't know what your preferences are, it is impossible to make a blanket recommendation, as I don't believe in such a thing, but this article might help you out:http://www.coachmag.co.uk/supplements/6437/the-best-protein-bars-the-tastiest-and-healthiest-options?utm_content=buffer53527&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer
