Protein Bar Recommendation?

I'm currently eating the Special K Double Chocolate Protein Bar. I eat it about an hour before my evening workout. I was wondering if there was something better than this? I'm open to try anything that is affordable. I just happened to see this at Wal-Mart and I picked it up. Something with less carbs would be preferable as I keep reaching my max carbs everyday and it annoys me :(

    I use the Atkins products, they have bars targeted for treats, snacks, and meal replacement. The one I like is the Snack Caramel Chocolate Peanut Nougat Bar, 170 cal, 11 g fat, 20 g carb (11 g fiber - 2 g net carbs) and 9 g protein. Not sure if that meets your needs or not.

    I purchased a lot of the Quest Bars and so far all the flavors have been really good. The consistency is a bit off almost like a taffy consistency but not as stretchy I dunno hard to explain. I like them though and would recommend.

    Quest bars are high in protein, low in carbs and taste really good. They are a little pricier than others but are soo soo worth it.

    While not a bar per se, Ostrim has meat snacks that are high protein, low carb/calorie.

    Thing is they are a bit "out of the box" in terms of ingredients - they are either beef and ostrich, or beef and elk.

    The jerky has 10g of protein, 2g carbs and 60 cals
    The meat sticks are 14g of protein, 2g of carbs and 80 (to 90) cals

    Like everyone will probably say, quest bars. Tried them all because my friends at Quest sent me boxes to try. All of the nutritional stats are solid and they taste great (microwaved only, in my opinion.) Cookie dough and Double chocolate chunk quest bar FTW...not a fan of the new cookies and cream ones.

    Like everyone else, I also like quest bars. They're really good microwaved too!

    On amazon they are about 24 bucks for 12. A little pricey but I might be able to swing it

    Eat Good Look Great Bars. 22 grams of protein, 2 grams of sugar. you can find them for .89 - 1.00 on sale at Kroger most of the time and they are my favorite!

    I have been using ThinkThin high protein bars as well as the target knock offs of the Pure Protein ones and i like them both. I struggle to get my protein in so they have helped a lot. I usually try to make cure I drink a good bit of water with mine too as they tend to fill me up longer that way.

    Not sure if they have these outside of New Zealand, but Horley's Carb-less bars are pretty good. They're filling, low-carb and taste like a chocolate bar!

    OOOh I love the Chocolate Mint Clif Builder Bar's too....sooo yummy. I'm looking for recipes for high protein lower carb and sugar options though...

    But I love the Chocolate Mint Clif Bars because it has 20g of protein per bar and is super yummy (a bit high in sugar) but so so yummy.

    I'm a fan of Quest bars. Pretty much the only processed food I eat on a regular basis haha
    My favorite is the Cookies & Cream. Raspberry White Chocolate and Strawberry Cheesecake are pretty good too.
    20-21g of protein & 17g of fiber. Don't forget your fiber! :)

    i always see a LOT of quest bar recommendations but i'm not a fan of most flavors that others rave about. i find them to be too sweet and/or just plain gross tasting.....

    However i do really like the mixed berry bliss. also tolerable are the banana nut & chocolate peanut butter.
