I am just wondering what is everyone's favorite brand (and/or flavor) of protein bars? I need to get some but really just don't know what to try and I hate to spend the money on something that is full of junk.

    I used to like a brand called "Pure Protein", and specifically the chocolate flavor...I haven't eaten protein bars in a few years though. But, those actually tasted good, so they're probably full of junk.

    I like Special K Chocolate Peanut Butter. Their Strawberry, Caramel and Chocolately Chip ones aren't bad either but the Chocoloate Peanut Butter is my fave. They remind me of the taste of Nutty Bars.

    My gf and I are in the process of determining which protein bars are best for us. Still comparing nutrition and protein boosting capacity. Pure Protein is one of our front runners now.

    Supreme Protein Carmanel Nut Chocolate with 30g of protein are my favorite. You can get these at Wal-Mart in the pharmacy area.
    I also like Nature Valley Peanut, Almond & Dark Chocolate with 10g of protein. You can find these in any grocery store
    If you have "My Fit Foods" in your area, the OatmegaBar Mocha bars are good with 14g of protein

    I'm a big fan of the Clif Mojo bars or the Luna bars. They might not be the "best" choice but they are the best for me. I enjoy them, they provide protein and it seems like a treat!

    I love Life Choice Peanut Butter. I think they are only at walmart. 210 cal, 21g protein, and only 14g Carb (7g sugar). I have noticed that a lot of them are high in carbs/sugar as well as the protein.

    Best one is Darryl's All Natural chocolate protein bar, but it is a Canadian company and I haven't seen them in a lot of places.

    Runner up would be Quest bars, I heat them up in the microwave, makes them way better.

    I used to love Cliff bars but not so much anymore.

    I really enjoy Special K strawberry protein bars. And the Cranberry walnut, too. Maybe a little high on the sugar but they are only 170 cal with 5 grams of fiber and 10 protein.

    Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe, 50g size. None compares to the chocolate or texture, not even the chocolate chip. I get both and still have the chip ones a year later...trying to eat them. They all leave that dry protein after-taste, but they are moist, and a bottle of water does the trick.

    Any quest bar. The only protein bar most trainers approve.
    If you don't like them too chewy,, put in microwave for 5-10 seconds. Yummy.

    Quest Bars are the best. Very low carbs and almost no sugar. Chocolate Chip cookie dough is really good.

    They aren't actually low in carbs, most are around 24 g. they advertise low "active" carbs, that is carbs minus the fibre.
