    Best Protein bar?

    edited November 2024 in Food and Nutrition
    I'm trying to find a protein bar that I like other than cliff bars. Cliff bars have too many sugars and carbs and a small amount of protein. I've tried quest bars and absolutely HATE them! Just wondering what your favorites are and what you would recommend to someone who hates quest bars. I really enjoy Lenny & Larry's protein cookies - but only the chocolate brownie and snicker doodle. I'm pretty picky :/

      I used to hate Quest, too....have you tried heating them up? For example, if you pop the chocolate chip cookie dough one in the microwave for a few seconds, it comes out like a hot, fresh, cookie! Yum!

      I dumped Quest after the formula change. New favorite-Combat Crunch. I think they're all only 210 calories for 20g of protein or so. They are really sweet but it works for me. I like sweet now.

      Quest are disgusting now that they changed the formula. The old bars were incredible. I am so sad they are not going back. They were such a staple in my diet. I have been liking oh yeah nutrition, lenny and larry, chocorite uncoated (my favorite), and fit crunch.

      Out of all the flavours cookies and cream is the least sweet tasting, but yea overall they are pretty sweet.

      I know :) I kinda like it. The flavor is just better than so many, even though they're sweet.

      I go cheap and buy Tigers Milk at Sam's Club. They're just what I need to start my day. Don't think I would eat them beyond the morning though. Paleo protein bars look pretty good though I'm not sure of the pricing.

      Balance bar, but only the mint chocolate one. It tastes exactly like a girl scout thin mint cookie!

      Weird. I stopped eating Quest bars because I thought I didn't like them anymore (I used to find it hard to just eat one a day before..) I had no idea their formula changed! Anyways, since I had to make a switch to a new brand I've found I really like the Pure Protein bars. You can find them at Target/Walmart.

      ^^^ You can also get the Pure Protein bars at Costco.

      I personally like the Clif Builders Bars. We've also had Powerade's protein bar given to us after races and they're pretty yummy, too.

      I like maxinutrition bars. Around 23g of protein low carb and low calorie. And it almost feels like a chocolate treat instead of a protein bar.

      I still <3 my Quest protein bars. To me, they still taste the same.

      I don't like most protein bars - I think most of them leave a weird aftertaste - but have recently discovered Think Thin bars. My 17 year old son likes them too.

      I like these, too! Super tasty, protein bar or otherwise. I think they're about a 1.00-1.25 each.

      Detour bars are pretty good. Like 3 carbs and over 20 grams of protein. Taste yummy and way cheaper than quest.

      I've trend so many and found that Kind bars are my go to for a snack , they are all natural have good protein and just enough sweetness to curb the sugar cravings.... Quite a few flavored as well so far I like them all .... But seem to really go for the dark choc almond one....
