I'm looking for some yummy tasting but healthy and high in protein bars to use for my snacky food. Any recommendations?

    Quest bars. They don't taste as good as Luna or Cliff but still good and they don't have junk.

    Hands down Zone Perfect. They are ALL good especially the chocolate mint. I've tried quest bars and there was maybe one or two that I liked but unfortunately there were many that I just could not down.

    The Zone Perfect Dark Chocolate varieties are heaven! I get them in bulk at Sam's Club. 24 bars for less than $19.

    Target has their brand of protein bars that are actually tasty, cost effective and high in protein. I like the peanut butter ones or the raisin ones.

    I'm not here to argue with anyone. Just sharing what I have learned through the last few months about eating cleaner...

    By "yucky" I didn't mean bad tasting... I meant yucky ingredients. There are far better, cleaner options out there if someone is asking advice on what protein bars to eat. Based on the ingredients I found I can tell that they are not a terrible option, but definitely could be better.

    Ingredients for the Cliff Chocolate Builder:

    Soy Protein Isolate, Beet Juice Concentrate, Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Organic Dried Cane Syrup, Palm Kernel Oil, Organic Rolled Oats, Unsweetened Chocolate, Cocoa, Organic Soy Protein Concentrate, Vegetable Glycerin, Natural Flavors, Organic Almonds, Rice Starch, Cocoa Butter, Inulin (Chicory Extract), Organic Flaxseed, Organic Oat Fiber, Organic Sunflower Oil, Soy Lecithin, Salt.


    I couldn't copy and paste the ingredients from the chocolate Quest bar, but here is the link:

    Another vote for Pure Protein for me. I honestly didn't like them the first time I tried them but for the amount of protein (20g) with only about 200 calories per bar, I decided to try again and they weren't too bad. It's also possible in the year or so I went between first and 2nd tastings that they changed something... :)

    The Chocolate Peanut Butter is my fave. And they're only a little over $6 for 6 bars at WalMart.

    Zone Perfect - Many good ones, but my favorite is Fudge Graham - 2nd place Dark Chocotate.
    Honestly - they are so good - like eating a candy bar - super treat!

    Quest Bars are the best! Best ingrediants ever and lots of protein! I love chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate brownie. If you warm it up for like 15 seconds, it's even better :)

    Everyone loves the Quest Bars but I couldn't even finish one, that's how gross I found them.

    I'm a fan of the Simply Bar. They're natural, ( vegan, gluten free too if you care about that) and no chemicals at all.

    Great recipe. I would def shoot for using the fiber powder as suggested in the comments on the recipe.


    I like Quest and Builder Bars
