    why? protein without sugar can be found in many vegan and non-vegan foods.
    1/3 of a cup of shelled pumpkin seeds is only 300 calories and contains 15g of protein and 1g of sugar.
    3/4 of a cup of low fat SKYR type yougurt has 170 calories, 0g sugar and 19g of protein

    I make my own to make it to my liking. sugar is low as i don't add any (so just what is in the protein powder and cocoa). I loosely base mine on this one:

    Don’t you just love when people simply can’t just answer the damn question? Lol.
    Honestly, most protein bars are low sugar/ high fiber now a days. Quest, one bars, combat crunch, no cow bars, Costco Kirkland protein bars....etc are all pretty low sugar now.

    Some of the lower sugar ones will have artificial sweeteners, which taste disgusting to me.

    I'm currently making my own, loosely based on https://littlebitsof.com/2015/01/pb2-protein-power-balls/, but the recipe Panini posted seems like a better base for a lower sugar version.

    I've really been liking Oatmega's bars - 14g protein, 7g fat, 7g fiber, 5g sugar.

    Love Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe - I'll switch to others every now and then, but I always wind up going back to them.

    Quest and Oh Yeah One bars are both popular, low sugar, and have a high protein per calorie ratio (180-230 calories for a 20-21g protein bar).
