Best Protein Bars

Which brands and flavours of protein bars do y’all like?
I usually shoot for a minimum of 20g protein and less than 5g sugar when I shop for them. The only ones I’ve been able to find and like are the Quest and One bars.
Thanks!

Robert Irvin's Fit Crunch in chocolate peanut butter are my #1. They taste like a freaking candy bar. The chocolate chip cookie dough is disgusting, though.
I also like Oh, Yeah! One bars in maple doughnut and almond bliss.

You're reading my mind. I just ordered some protein bars because I'm weary of protein powder. I needed some snackity items.
I ordered 4 different flavors.

Kirkland protein bars are great! 21grams of protein and they taste pretty good.4

@cmcollard I know mine were lower in protein than what you're looking for but I just can't handle maltitol very well. I gave my boss some sugar free jelly belly beans and he's never forgiven me to this day. I gave him a large bag before a really long road trip and he had to stop at every rest area along the way. He had the trots for days on end.0

I have found Pure Protein bars to be the best in terms of taste/texture (excellent), cost (less than $1/bar) protein (20+gr/bar) and sugar (<3gr/bar) and widely available, even at Target (often on sale) and sold right next to Kirkland's knockoff bars at Costco.
I really doesn't get better than this.5 -
Another vote for FitCrunch. I have tried a ridiculous number of bars and these are my favorite hands down. I just got a variety pack with chocolate peanut butter, mint, and lemon. I was surprised at the palatability of the lemon - usually white bars taste like chalk, or worse, but these were, for a protein bar, superlative.
Mint might be my fav, though. I have them for dessert at bedtime when I'm cutting.
ETA: I appreciate that fitcrunch bars come in two sizes - regular for ~380 calories/30g protein and snack size for ~190 calories/16g protein.1 -

I like pure protein in peanut butter or dark chocolate coconut. Costco has their own brand, Kirkland's protein bars, that are like quest bars, but cheaper.0

Have you tried Julian Bakery Pegan bars? Believe me, GOL are better IMO however these are good- plant based, no sugar, high protein and chewy, under 200 calories a bar.1 -

Agreed. Julian Bakery Sweet Cream are my absolute favorite.2 -
Built Bars. Flavor: mocha.

15 grams protein.0 -
I also use another app called Fooducate and it rates foods from A to D. As a result most of these bars get a C or lower and it has encouraged me to stay away from most of these brands. I think it was because of the added sugar (if I remember correctly). I haven't really found a bar that tastes good and gets a good grade. I'd LOVE to find one.0

Pure Protein bars are AWESOME. great taste, around 180-210 calories for 19-20 g of protein, lots of fun flavors, and affordable if you look carefully on Amazon.0

RX Bars are my favourite! They’re a bit lower in protein (12g) but it’s just real food and not a bunch of weird stuff added. Plus they’re sweetened with dates so it’s a lower glycemic index. Plus they taste good!0

Kirkland / Costco protein bars. They are good tasting, imo. Chewy, semi sweet, satisfying, 21g of protein for 190-200 calories. Few choices of flavors. I like peanut butter and cookie dough. Very affordable, too.2

Quest hero are my favorite but very hard to find! I just ordered two boxes of the blueberry ones off Amazon and I'll try to conserve them 😆 the regular Quest bars are🤮 to me0
