Are there any protein bars that don't taste like a stick of chalk?

    Robert Irvine's Fit Crunch

    +1000 for those. My favorite. Not so low on the calories though, a big one is 30g protein but 380 cals. Worth it though over a candy bar any day of the week.

    I like the quest cookies and cream and vanilla almond flavors the best... These aren't the most popular, but I like them way better than the others. The cookie and almond bits seem to help with the texture.

    But really? Like, actually delicious? Actually a healthy candy bar? No. Lies. All lies.

    Where did you find them? These are my 2 favorite chocolate bars and if I could pass them off as protein bars......

    Now wondering if I can find them in Canada.

    Google here I come.

    Amazon has them. A pack of 18 bars for a mere $350. :neutral:

    I love cliff builder protein 20 grams of protein and 270 calories for their vanilla almond. I normally go for the chocolate flavor but their vanilla is sooo yummy it's like a daily treat.

    I know everyone recommends quest because of their 1 gram of net carbs but you can taste the missing carbs. Honestly if you aren't on a low carb diet who cares.

    I love the Fit & Active protein bars. To me the Quest bars tasted like dried cookie dough that someone forgot to put sugar in.

    Smart forLife from Costco or on line.
    They are more like a rice crispy square covered in chocolate.
    About 20g protein for under 200 cals.

    Premier are cake like with little crunch balls in them. Mint is good.
    About 30g protein for 300 cals.

    Cheers, h.

    I like the smart life too. They seemed to be the ones that gave the most protein for lowest calories

    Probar BASE mint chocolate bars have 20g I think and taste like cookies. So good. (But high in sugar if that's something you're trying to avoid). I also like the NuGo dark chocolate pretzels bars. 10g (but also high in sugar).

    Also Julian Paleo bars are high in protein and very low in sugar but don't taste too awful. Definitely not like a candy bar but edible.

    I have liked most of the Luna flavors I have tried. The berry flavor was a little weird, bit the chocolate flavors are all good, and less than 200 calories (walnut caramel brownie was especially good)

    The Oh Yeah! Bars are great. I also like detour bars, the new dark chocolate sea salt almond ones are so good! Quest bars are okay, if you can find the blueberry muffin ones I think that's the best flavor.

    ONE bars are good! I tried the blueberry cobbler flavor as a sample.

    Another vote for Pure Protein bars which taste good and offer the highest protein for the lowest cost compared with many other brands that I've tried.

    Try out Quest bars. A bit pricey but definitely worth it imo

    Grenade Carb Killa all the way.
    Genuinely, properly taste like they're bad for you.
    The banana one on my desk right now is P23, F8, C2 (impact carbs anyway - there's polyols which I take off!), 217kcal
    Even my boyfriend likes them, and that's saying something.

    I used to be really in to Quest bars until I found Grenade.
    I also have a weird soft spot for the MyProtein MyBar Zero in caramel apple or caramel peanut. A bit more traditionally protein bar like, but much cheaper...

    Just saying.. You can make protein bars yourself at home, it takes only few minutes and you can chose any ingredients you love.

    You should try PhD Nutrition Bars and flapjacks, v.low in carbs and about 25-30g protein for 200kcal. And yes, they taste rly good, especially the strawberry cheescake ones

    I tried those for their fiber/protein content as well, and they are super cheap compared to others. Unfortunately they were some of the worst tasting bars I've ever had. Horrible aftertaste from the sweetener, almost like they were packed full of saccharin. Just my experience, but maybe I'm just too picky.

    I had a Pure Protein bar yesterday (the chocolate peanut butter) and it was delicious. I felt like I was eating a candy bar. It was really good. 200 calories, 2 grams of sugar and 18 or so grams of protein.

    Which flavor bar was that?

    FWIW, give their Chocolate Peanut Butter bar a try.

    It's the best tasting of the 4-5 bars of theirs that I've eaten and, if I could only buy one, that's the one that I'd get.
