    I love Kind bars. The peanut butter dark chocolate is my favorite, but I don't think I've had a flavour that I don't like. I fond them to be much more satisfying and less cakey than most other bars. At around 200 calories each, they make a great snack when I'm on the run or have forgotten to pack my snack.

    I have just discovered Sahale bars (not sure they qualify as protein bars) but I just love the tangerine cashew ones!

    I stock up on Premier Protein bars and shakes from Costco, both have 30g of protein. The bars are 290 calories and the shakes are 160 calories.

    This. The Premier Protein fiber bars are good too.

    I like Orgain chocolate chip cookie dough organic protein bars.

    I don't like any of them! I'd rather make protein muffins or protein bread. The protein chef website (https://theproteinchef.co/) has lots of recipes, including something as simple as microwave protein cookies. I'd even rather have one of those than a Quest bar.

    Power Crunch bars are everything. I can't get enough.

    I can't find anything better than quest bars.

    Another vote for Oh Yeah! ONE bars. Unlike Quest, don't have to leave them on the vehicle dash board to make the palatable.

    There's other "copies": Powerbar Clean Whey, Atkins Lift come to mind. For something lighter, the Luna Protein aren't bad at all.

    I recently got a box of SimplyProtein bars at Costco. They're a crispy protein bar (around 150 calories and 15g protein, depending on the flavour).

    I liked the chocolate peanut butter flavour and the chocolate caramel, but I did not like the lemon coconut flavour.

    I don't want to use packaged protein bars as part of my regular daily plan, but I'm keeping a couple in my desk drawer and one in my purse for when life catches me by surprise and I need a snack that will keep me on track. I also plan to make my own protein bar snacks, but it's nice to have non-perishables for emergencies.

    Protein bars disappoint. Not big enough snack. :/

    Not sure that the gucci flavor balance bars quite count, but the turtle and peppermint patty make a nice snack.

    I just found these Think Thin protein bars at Meijer.

    Very good and 20g of protein and 0 sugars! I usually go for Quest Bars, but these are my new go to bar.

    I just tried Pure Protein Plus chocolate chip cookie dough bar. It was actually pretty impressive as far as taste and texture (the regular pure protein bars are gross). I'm looking at an apple pie one right now. 190 cals (I think the cookie dough was 200), 20 g protein, and watch out if you don't presently get a lot of fiber because this baby packs 16g in one shot. Ka-boom.

    That's what I ended up getting with some premier protein shake. I'm very pleased with my purchase. I will try the other ones suggested.

    i buy clif builder bars. their 'energy' things are gross imo, but it's taken me some time to get to the 'can't face another builder bar' point. basically, i guess they're too sweet for me to handle as an everyday thing.

    i liked a temple coconut bar that i tried once. but again, sweeter than i think it needed to be.
