    My favorite brand is Pure Protein. They have some of the best tasting flavors. Their 'Smores and Peanut Butter Carmel Surprise are my favorites right now!

    I really like the thinkthin bars. The brownie crunch, chocoalte fudge and white chocolate ones are really good. They are not tough to chew or taste horrible, they are actually really good. Typically they have 20 grams of protein and no sugar. They have a variety of flavors. I have tried a lot of different bars and this is the only kind I like. Good Luck.

    Here are the protein bars I enjoy on occasion. I mostly use to replace breakfast on really busy days or for an on the go snack/small meal.

    * Luna Bars (yummy for a snack, my favorites are chocolate dipped coconut, iced oatmeal raisin, and caramel nut brownie)
    * Clif Builder bars (love the chocolate mint ones, the chocolate and vanilla almond ones are good also)
    * Pure Protein (chocolate peanut butter tastes decent)
    * Think Thin (the chocolate brownie crunch ones are awesome, just tried them a few days ago). Buying more of these soon.

    I use the Zone bars, have a good protein to carb ratio, and are yummy. My kids have started eating them for breakfast too!

    I eat the Maximuscle Cyclone ones. 216 cals, 24g protein, 18g carbs, 5g creatine, and some glutamine for glycogen recovery. I quite like them but a lot of people say they taste bad so... More for folk valueing the content over the taste I guess.

    For homemade ones, I make these:

    Where did you get the Think Thin bars?

    I find that buying the Think Thin bars directly from their website is cheaper and they usually have coupons online

    I love the KIND bars, and I found an awesome recipe to make them at home. Way cheaper too :)

    Pure Protein are my favorite, although I haven't tried that many. I love the smores flavor as well as the Pure Protein Revolution (it's like peanut butter caramel flavor). They have like the lowest calorie to highest protein ratio that I can really find in a protein bar. Although those Quest ones look pretty darn good..can't vouch for them though!

    I only make homemade protein bars -- and I HAVE to make them because my 4 kids are very picky vegetarians with gluten/dairy allergies, so I have to get protein into them somehow! :-)

    I love the NoMeatAthlete.com recipe template because you can mix-and-match ingredients to change up the flavors. Here ya go:

    http://www.nomeatathlete.com/homemade-energy-bar-recipe/

    I use chickpeas, bananas, almond butter, cinnamon, vanilla, Rice Krispies, quinoa flour, and chocolate chips. I also add in a tbsp each of chia seeds, raw cacao powder and maca powder for good measure! My kids LOVE these bars! They call them "cookie bars" and I put them in their lunch every day.
