    Pure Protein Chewy Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Peanut Butter. I don't care for the Chocolate Deluxe. I get mine at Target, too. Around 200 cal with 20 g of protein.

    I had a Zone bar once and threw half of it away...worst tasting bar I've tried.

    Pure Protein - Chocolate Deluxe ( I get them at Target)
    180 cals: 17g Carbs, 20g protein, 2g sugar, 2g fiber

    And they taste amazing!

    Add another vote to pure protein bars. I spent years looking at nutritional labels and trying different bars. These are by far the best I have ever run across for both taste and nutritional value. Most other bars either did not taste very well or had too many carbs. Pure Protein also makes shakes that are very high in protein and low in carbs that I also use to add protein to a meal.

    Quest Cookie Dough.. It's a new flavor and I've only found it at one GNC I've been to out of like 5, but it's amazing and although it's still a bar, it's cleaner than most :)

    This! The Quest Chocolate Peanut Butter bar is also excellent. Good quality ingredients.

    No one has suggested these two yet and i get the best results from them, supreme crunch carb conscious bars and Oh! yeah bars. Both come in small under 200cal form, 15G of protein, or for a meal replacment on the go they come in 400cal size with 30g protein, both have amazing flavors, legit, not dissing on luna or quest or all the other bars but the ones i suggested taste basically like a candy bar... but not. you can order some boxes on bodybuilding.com hope this helps, if your interested ill suggest what i think are the best flavs

    I also like to use them when we travel/camp and we're a long time between meals.
    So, I want them to taste good for hubby and daughter :tongue:
  • I like Nature Valley protein bars. I get the dark chocolate kind. It's pretty good!

    As mentioned above a few times - Pure Protein (I like them all except the strawberry and blueberry ones). Also, Quest and Promax LS.

    I really like the NuGo line of nutrition and protein bars. I have food allergies & intolerance's, so the NuGo Free is perfect for me. The mostly everything-free bars are super tasty, so I can only imagine the other choices are even tastier. They have about 9 different product lines and tons of flavors!

    Well, this changes things a little :)

    When I want a bar for travelling it needs to be one that does not melt on me. In that case the extra carbs may not be bad since you are burning the calories. In that case if I am looking for something light I like the luna toasted nut and cranberry bar. If I am going hiking and need more available energy I would go with a cliff bar.

    Pure Protein bars (usually found @ Walmart)... They are between 180 - 200 calories each with 19-20 Grams of protein... The peanut butter are good.. but they are among the 200 calories.. The Caramel (revolution) bars are good at 180 for 20 G. protein, the Chocolate deluxe are 180 but are a bit choclatey for me... though I do eat them... I like the Smore's variety that has like 19 G. protein for 180 calories... (All are the same brand .. pure protein)..

    Another option that is usually better for after workouts are protein shakes.. They provide a faster infusion of protein into the muscle repair .. For those, I like Core Power - the light ones are 150 calories for 20 mg and the others are 26 mg for 240 calories (but they are probably more satisfying.. depends on how I am doing on my daily goal as to which one I choose.

    Quest, Luna, Clif Builders, Balance and NuGo currently in the pantry. I like variety.

    There's also Corazona bars and Greek yogurt bars in there. Lots of variety...

    Oh, as an aside, if you find that your fiber is less than what you would like the newer fiber plus protein bars... They contain like 10 g protein + about 25% of your RDA of fiber in a day's time.. Sometimes, that is my breakfast.

    Luna and Clif bars are my favorites. :)
  • The bars from the Quest line is delicious. A friend of mine is a sponsored athlete of Quest and she got me a few boxes of the Quest Cookie Dough before they rolled them out into production and it ROCKS!! --throw (any flavor) in the microwave for 10 seconds and you'll think you are cheating!!

    Clif bars and the Harvest Power Bars. All from 220 to 240 calories and I think they're yummy. I use them for breakfast usually or as a pre-workout snack.

    I never cared for them but I recently tried a coconut toasted zone bar and I actually liked it. I don't even like coconut!
