    The Atkins bars are decent, or the Carb Conscious Supreme Protein bars. I need to find more ideas myself, but those are pretty good!

    Atkins bars are good. I really like a few of the flavors of Pure Protein bars... Some are a little nasty, others are great.

    Blueberry, chocolate / peanut butter, and strawberry are all good.

    I used to eat the THink Thin bars and thought they tasted good. I rarely eat packaged food anymore though, only on occasion. Thanks for reminding me. I just might get some now. :)

    I agree that pure protein bars are pretty good... I choose them because they are low in sugar as well. I like the chocolate deluxe and the peanut butter. I'm not terribly fond of the chocolate chip and I haven't tried any others.

    though not a bar, vitatops are a pretty good snack (100 calories or so).

    I use Pure Protein quite a bit -- decent protein, low sugar (stay away from the super high sugar Balance Bars. Yummy - but WOW a lot of sugar), and they sell them in bulk at Sam's Club, so the price is right.

    From an ingredient standpoint, Quest All-Natural Protein bars are the purest out there. Stick their Chocolate Brownie bar in the microwave for a few seconds and it tastes just like a moist brownie.

    I love Atkins bars,some of the are pretty high calorie,but they are very high in satisfying protein and very low in sugar and carbs,They do have lower calorie ones that are good for snacks, and higher calorie bars that work as a good mean replacement,you just have to look at the box.I plan on using them alot.

    Quest bars! :)

    Yummy in my tummy. I have been out for quite some time (I had cancelled my auto-delivery for one reason or another). Definitely purchasing some more soon! I love the PB&J, Peanut Butter Supreme, and Brownie flavors the most. :)

    I use the Atkins and South Beach bars. The only one I use sparingly is the Atkins chocolate chip granola bar...that has 200 calories but I sometimes have the calories to spare. The bars are tasty and they have some protein, too. I keep one in my purse in case my blood sugar dips.

    Quest bars. Low carb, high fiber, 20 grams of protein and they have an all natural line that doesn't have a bunch of crap in it. They also don't melt so that is a big bonus in this heat.

    Quest bars are my salvation... love them. Lemon, Coconut-Cashew, Strawberry Cheesecake, Cinnamon Roll. I am a big chocoholic (especially choc and PB) but I'm not really into the chocolate peanut butter or chocolate brownie. Has a weird aftertaste to me but I know some people really like them.

    Quest bars, Go for the original formula without all the sugar alcohols. They are amazing and very very filling with only 4-5 net carbs.
    I order mine offr E-bay for $24.00 a box of 12

    I like FiberOne Chocolate and Oats. 140 calories. Very yummy.
    These are high carb (29g), low protein (2g).


    I eat the Special K protein meal bars, and really like them. I have also had the Think Thin peanut butter bar and thought it was nasty, I will have to try the other flavors. I want to find the Pure Protein bars that everyone recommends, I haven't seen that locally.

    Found on the quest website that the bars are sold thru GNC, if you have one close. Will have to go sample a few! :wink:

    Love the Atikins bars. Currently on a Chocolate Hazelnut Bar kick...to me, tastes just like Rocher chocolates! I also like the PB granola bars, the peanut butter cups, and the apple crisp bars when I can find them. I find that other low-carb bars (or high protein that are deceivingly NOT low-carb) just don't taste good.

    The Quest bars were on sale last month on-line plus you could get 20% discount during the first week if you have the gold card. Also, iherb.com was selling them as well fairly cheaply.
