    I like protein bars. Sure, they aren't Snickers but they satisfy my sweet tooth just fine! I like the Balance bars (Cookie Dough flavor). It has 210 cals and 15g of protein. Though I'd like to find a more natural protein bar with fewer cals, but it's hard to find one with a decent amount of protein (higher than 10 grams).

    I really like the Special K ones, the chocolate peanut butter and double chocolate. They have 10 grams of protein and taste excellent.

    Yes! I love the Pure Protein bars. The peanut butter is the best, but the chocolate one is pretty good too. They have 200 calories, 6g fat, 200mg sodium, 1g fiber, 2g sugar, 20g protein. This is the best one I could find. Not too much sugar and a lot of protein. I eat one right after my workout, usually it's my breakfast. Love it!!! It satisfies my sweet tooth also!

    Similar situation here and I bought 3 brands to try: Clif, Luna, and Lara. Luna won due to tasting more like a regular granola / candy bar. My favorite Luna flavor was the chocolate coconut with cranberry second. I've found mini sized Luna bars at some Target stores.

    I like the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut bar by CLIF. Yum! They also make something called Mojo bars. Which are like trail mix in a bar in wonderful flavors!

    I love clif builders. They're like.... amaaaaazing! Also, if you need just a little protein, luna protein bars are yum. Clif bars often have like 10g, and powerbar protein bars are good too..

    My favorite protein bar is Zone Perfect chocolate chip cookie dough.. They are sort of small though, but they do the trick for me when I'm craving something, or just need some protein before I exercise.

    THIS!!! I also found some new flavors like Strawberry Shortcake, Marshmallow Peanut Butter and Caramel Peanut Butter. Like you said these are the best I could find as well.

    I like the Snickers brand, but they do have quite a bit of sugar.

    I got these from the recipe section and I like them the best

    Protein Powder ~ 400 grams (14oz.)
    Rolled Oats ~ 200 grams (7oz.)
    100% Peanut Butter ~ 100 grams (3oz.)
    Honey ~ 90 grams (3oz.)
    Cocoa Powder ~ 30 grams (1 oz.)
    1 Cup Non Fat Milk
    Flax Seed

    Notes: I use dark chocolate cocoa powder. I was able to make 10 bars. Btw I got this recipe from scoobysworkshop.com. You can go on there to watch the video. These bars taste awsome!

    Mix protein powder, rolled oats, cocoa powder, pb and honey together. Add milk, shape into a "twinkie shape" bout 3.5" long.
    Use flax seed as coating. Lay a sheet of wax paper down, layer with flax seed and roll bars on it to completly cover them.
    Chill for 30 to 60 minutes. Last up to 7 days refrigerated and lasts for months in the freezer.

    260 calories
    15 calories from fat
    35 grams of protein
    21 grams of carbs

    I dont hate Think Thin bars. 20g of protein and no sugar. I eat it if on the go or something. A bit higher cals than some.

    I usually have a protein bar tucked in my purse -- just in case I'm out and about and need to eat. That said, I try not to have too many becaause I do think protein should be had in more whole foods. But if I'm going to eat one, I LOVE the Luna Protein Bar in Chocolate Mint and Chocolate Cherry Almond.

    boy do i know this .....i've tried everything...I'm very picky since i try to stay away from anything that has ingrediants on it that I cant pronounce LOL. My focus is to keep my sugars low , sodium and calories combines with high protein....Think thin bars are simply the best not only in taste but for YOU.....They do not have any additves or garbage you will find in a lot of the other kinds....Cliff are good but they have way too many grams of sugar . To lose weight you must keep your protein UP and your sugar down!!!! Many of the Thinkthin bars you can find in the organic section of many groceries stores. I used to buy the Pureprotein until I found these.They have a ton of flavors but some stores dont carry them all. I love the chunky peanut butter and the Brownie crunch. Here is just a peak at what they provide for you body.
    Brownie Crunch has 20 grams of protein, 0 sugars, 180 sodium, 8 grams of fat, 25 carbs....Super yummy and zero sugar...cant go wrong with that!!! Great for just a meal replacement if your in that kind of situation or after a workout. Good luck!

    I've only tried a couple of brands but they both had a mile long list of ingredients including artificial sweetener which left such a strange taste is my mouth, that I'm not motivated to try any more. I prefer to eat less processed food if I can and I just don't think the ones I've seen are doing my body any favours.
    So, my advice is to read the label before you buy them and make sure you are comfortable with what's in them (and note that I'm in Australia so most of the brands people have listed probably aren't too easy to get here, you might have better choices where you are).
