Protein bar, how do you stomach them?!

Ok, so I bought Pure Protein bars in Peanut butter flavor at the recommendation of a friend. I'm second guessing their opinion now. They taste horrible! Is there some tip to make them more paletable? I don't want to just throw them away. I'm to the point I'm thinking about cutting it up really really small and taking the pieces as you would a pill just so I don't have to taste it, but I still get the benefits. LOL Any suggestions? And yes, I've debated getting a protein powder, but I'm worried about getting a huge tub (Since I can't find a smaller sample size to try) and not liking it just like these bars.....
I'm trying to up my protein intake because my doctor said I should try a high protein diet. I'm having trouble fitting that much protein into my daily calories though. I recently upped my calorie intake to 1500 calories.

I tried a million bars till i settled on the ones i like.
Larabars. Grab 1 bars.
True bars. Nugo bars. and Cogo Bars.0 -
You grabbed the wrong brand! Those are like eating dirt! Try Cliff bars, Zone Perfect, or Go Lean.0

Pure protein bars are AWFUL. I buy mine from: www(dot)BarriatricChoice(dot)com
they will send you FREE samples before you buy & their stuff is so GOOD!!!0 -
Get your sources of protein from food you like.
You don't have to eat protein bars if you don't want to and you're actually better off having some proper food.
I only eat them because they're convenient and I actually like them.0 -
I've never tried them but I love Clif Bars and Luna Bars (made by the same people) If you look a their website, you can buy mini ones of some of them so it's easier to try them out-I haven't tried one that I didn't like yet!0

Lara bars are delicious. But I make my own. That does involve purchasing the tub of protein though.0

Clif bars are good.0

I personally love quest protein bars. Many different flavors and a lot healthier than pure protein. You can either buy them seperately or a whole box of them. Or as someone else said, you can get protein from real food also. Eat more lean meats, nuts, beans etc0

I drink my protein....Right now I am drinking strawberries, blueberries and a scoop of Vanilla flavored Whey Protein....it is super yummy...I take fresh strawberries and fresh blueberries and freeze about a cup in freezer bags and pull it out in the morning for a snack....If I have spinach on hand I throw that in too - honestly you can't taste it and I get some extra nutrients. I have a nutribullet which really breaks everything up....Oh and I add water to it as well to make it like a smoothie...
Good Luck!0 -

I use Body Fortress and it has 26 grams of protein per scoop...0 -
QUEST BARS ARE THE BEST. The strawberry cheesecake, or cinnamon roll... All natural and TONS of fiber, if you need fiber like me0
-
I eat Nature Valley Protein Chewy Bar - Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate. I love them but they are more of a candy bar with a little protein.0
-
I love the Think Thin bars! Also if you like greek yogurt try that, it has 20g plus in some brands;)0

I like this. I personally don't really like the idea of eating things with ingredients I can't pronounce. Yesterday I easily topped 100g of protein without bars/supplements.0 -
I just eat turkey jerky or nuts if I need an on-the-go protein boost. I do admit to liking a blueberry crisp cliff bar for breakfast sometimes.0
-
swallow it whole. I heard that's the best.
That said.......whey protein powder > protein bars0 -
I like Quest bars and Think Thin bars (not the chocolate ones though!)0
-
Clif Bars and Luna Bars are great.0
-
If you buy powder from GNC, most of the stores allow you to return and exchange something if you don't like it. I've done it a few times!0
-
Quest Bars are the best protein bars out there.
The Peanut Butter Supreme and PB&J are my top favorites. Lovvve them.0
