Protein bars have gotten tastier

I used to follow a higher protein diet, and often ate protein bars. Back then, everything I tried was gritty and had a weird after-taste about them. Just recently, I've started incorporating protein bars back into my diet, and am amazed at how great they taste, compared to what I ate years ago. Just this week, I had a Supreme Protein - Caramel Nut Chocolate bar, and I would probably give up just about any candy bar for one of these... so good! Today was a Pure Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter bar, and it was really decent too. I'm actually excited to go back to the store and get more to try!

So, what's your favorite protein bar?

    Clif Builder's Chocolate Mint. Tastes just like a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie. Yummy!

    Special K Double Chocolate is my favorite! And it has 10g of protein in every bar! It's like eating a chocolate covered cocoa krispy treat!! Yum!!

    I love Larabars (the PB&J one is AMAZING), and have been trying Kashi, Special K, and Promax as well.

    Thanks for all the tips. My daughter is a vegan and does not get enough protein so I wanted to recommend your suggestions.

    Thanks for the ideas! I'm looking for at least 15-20g of protein per bar, so some of the suggestions so far might be a little shy of that. I'll still check them out... 10g is still way better than what you'd get from the alternatives. I didn't realize Special K made protein bars! I like the taste of their other bars/snacks. They don't fit my needs right now, but maybe the protein options would.

    What else is good?

    Clif Builder's protein bars have 20 grams of protein per bar and they are really good. I like the cookies and cream!

    Yes - they are DELICIOUS and almost as good as a candy bar :)

    I love the Special K Protein Meal bars and pure protein bars.

    Mmmmm

    All of them have a weird metallic aftertaste to them. Except Kashi, but those are more like snack bars, not so much protein. I think the whey is what gives them that weird taste.
