Hi All, Just wondering what your favorite protein bars are, which you think are the best and how often/when do you eat them? I like the Power Bars for after working out but also need something to snack on throughout the day when I'm not at my desk.

    Quest Bars - Cookies & Cream and Peanut Butter & Jelly are my favorite.

    Just tried a new one the other day that was pretty good and would work well when you're craving cake or something, Oh Yeah Birthday Cake bars:

    I enjoy Luna bars and have had good luck with Quest. Had a Luna bar and banana for breakfast today because I am out and about. I eat them a few times a week.

    Quest bars in my area are $3 a piece. That's over $1,000 a year. I stick to pure protein from walmart (good enough).
    .57 each when they go on sale at costco

    Pretty much just Quest and Larabar. I've heard the others aren't nearly as good due to sugar content and other factors.

    Pure protein bars are pretty good if you get the right flavored. Some flavored can be high in sugar. However, they fill me up and keep my full for a long time!

    I tried all of the above and more. I will always go back to Oh Yeah Victory bar , cookie dough and cookie and cream, it is a better taste, healthier option and nothing artificial, good macros. I eat them daily 1 bar per day split in half. They sell at Publix for $2 per bar

    No Cow are my favorite!

    21g protein, 20g fiber, 4g fat and only 160 calories...AND they're delicious!

    *nods in agreement*

    I am so done with Quest. I never received their sample of the re formulated bars, and they raised their prices. Ugh $40/ box here in Canada. F that. Combat crunch bars are awesome, I haven't found a flavour I don't like. Think Thin, the salted caramel ones are goo too, but have only 10 grams of protein. I'm also a fan of Robert Irvine's Fit Elite bars, the birthday cake flavour is my favourite.

    I'm not a fan of Quest bars (love their protein chips). I like Pure Protein, Supreme Protein and ThinkThin bars. I'll have to check out Combat and No Cow.

    They're between $4 and $5.20 each here. I love the cookie dough flavour, and treat them like gold, and only have one when i really, really, really want one. I could easily eat 2 a day everyday, and would if they weren't so damn expensive!

    I have yet to find a protein bar with better macros AND taste here.

    Combat Crunch Bars are my absolute favorite! Cookie dough is the best - throw them in the microwave for a few seconds...even better :)

    Quest is clearly the best, though expensive. I just make my own. Still can't get the macros of quest bars with homemade, especially the fiber content-- how do they do it?

    Do you buy that fibre liquid stuff? Someone here will know what it's called.

    After reading up on the quality control issues with supplements, my reservation has always been whether the products match the label claims.

    Ahh, that must be their trick. no, I haven't heard of it before. Would be interested in trying a quest imitation recipe with it though.
