Does anybody have a good ketobar recipe, or knows a tasty ketobar to buy (in western Europe)?
I`m going to China for over a week and although the breakfast and dinner should be ok, the lunch is cantine food. Which is aweful and I was always only able to eat the rice with some soysauce. So that`s gonna kick me right out of keto, which I want to avoid on all cost.
Any advice is highly appreciated. Thank you.

Here's a recipe I found the other day...I've not made it yet though. I'm planning to just use my normal carb free sweetener and dark chocolate chips since I don't have access to the Lily's brand chips or the THM sweetener.

Quest bars are only 4 net carbs each and pack a good amount of protein, but they are pricey. If you're open to making your own I'm sure you could convert a normal bar recipe that contains mostly nuts into a keto recipe, just swap sweeteners for sugar free options. Amazon has sugar free honey and there's a lot of sugar free maple syrup options.
Something like these:

If you like dark chocolate and coconut, how about these:

@ladipoet I emailed them a few days back, cause I found a couple of fantastic reviews, where people said that they are so much better than Quest bars. BUT they are currently only selling in the US.
However, they are hoping to be in Europe next year.
Importing them would be far too expensive.
Using a "normal" Protein Bar recipe and swopping the ingredients for keto friendly one is fab. Didn`t even think of that.1 -
I ordered the Adapt bars that Dr Westman promotes - he talked about them in the Keto Summit.

They're 2 net carbs. I haven't received them yet, but should get them any day now. I bought the sample pack with a variety of things so will let you know how they taste when they get here.

I always throw some Quest bars in my bag when I'm travelling. It's not the perfect food, but it works when you don't have access to anything else low carb. I just wanted to say be careful bringing homemade food to the airport though, I'd check to see what the restrictions are first. A Sikh gentleman and his wife in front of me in the airport in Belfast last week had their homemade food confiscated.0

Well, that's a bummer but thanks for letting us know @Zilia81!0
