Do you people have a favorite?

For protein bars I love B-UP
For powder I like Spiru Tein (so many flavors!).

When I don't care about taste I like Garden of Life Raw Meal Protein Powder. It is super healthy. It's pretty easy to make it taste good but you have to add stuff.

    Muscletech phase 8 chocolate powder is pretty good. I don't really do protein bars.

    I like anything I can find at Target or Walmart and costs less than $1 a serving.

    MTS whey protein is my favorite protein on the market. For the protein bars, I just make my own with vitafiber. Google homemade quest bars.

    Pure Protein bars are my favs.

    I don't really buy them anymore unless I am hiking or traveling though. It is way, way cheaper for me to get the same amount of protein from making my own Greek yogurt at home.

    I like quest, tried some of the B-up ones and they were pretty good too. also like some of the pure protein bars, the power crunch ones arent too bad either.

    I like Pro Bars. I've had the Base and Bite versions in peanut butter and chocolate. Best ratio of carbs/protein I've found at 30g and 20 respectively and they're organic.

    And, their energy gels are really good too. I prefer raspberry.

    protein powders. I havent tried many but I like the body fortress and the quest powders. cvs has a good cookies and cream powder. I tried the six star brand and disliked it(I heard they are from the same company but if so they dont taste like they are lol)

    Quest bars are definitely my favorite. Runner ups are Met-Rx bars and Clif bars.

    I don't, the store brands tend to be the ones faking their content and potentially having heavy metals.

    The new Nutracelle powders are the bomb. My picky kids will drink the vanilla like it's milk. The chocolate taste's like Wendy's frosties. They are so smooth!

    I'm yet to find a 'protein bar' that justifies the cost. If I had to choose, MusclePharm Combat Crunch are fairly edible once warmed up.

    Haven't bothered with whey in ages. Unflavoured standard whey from GoNutrition/TheProteinWorks/MyProtein was always good value.

    Muscletech Mission 1 Bars - Cookies & Cream, Chocolate Brownie, Cookie Dough (in that order)

    Legion Whey+ Protein Powder - I just got the new cookies and cream powder and I like it - mixed with a cup of Almond Silk and some ice, blend it up... yum... I also really like their chocolate whey+ that blends well with Almond Silk, ice and half a Banana

    I usually only ever eat double chocolate optimum nutrition whey. I drink it either as is or mix it in other foods since I'm a chocoholic

    Optimum nutrition whey if you are going to mix it with half milk and half water or SIS if it is only going to be mixed with water ,and for protein bars quest is defiantly the way to go I prefer cookies and cream but smores is also nice.

    I haven't tried a ton of protein bars but the only one I've really enjoyed is the Quest cookie dough one. Sadly my (relatively) inexpensive source for them has dried up so searching for an alternative!

    BEST protein bars are Supreme Protein bars. Caramel nut chocolate. 200 calories, 15g protein, 4g sugar. Better than a damn candy bar and I'm not kidding. Made hubby (who is a chocoholic) try one today and he was WOW'D!
    BEST protein powder Chocolite supreme chocolate and brownie batter. 150 calories, 24g protein, no sugar. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, I get a box of 18 of these with chocolate mint and peanut butter chocolate at Sam's Club for about $19 bucks. A good deal and each one has ~275 calories and 20g protein.
