Any recommendations for a good protein protein bar? Not just taste-wise, but in terms of nutritional value as well. I've heard good things about Quest and Vega Sport... thoughts?

I don't plan on using them as a regular meal replacement, but sometimes it's hard to get a solid meal/snack in after a long hard workout.

    I'm addicted to Clif bars. The regular variety have around 10g of protein, and the Builder's have 20g. They always seem to be on sale around here - $10/10.

    I liked Curate's bars, around $2 though they weren't very high in protein.

    I just started trying quest to up my protein and some are TERRIBLE but some are actually pretty good. The cookie dough and mint chocolate chunk are literally the only ones I will eat, but I will eat and enjoy them. And they have 21 and 20g protein respectively and 15g of fiber. And the fiber is what I really wanted.

    Builder bars are my favorite.

    I really like oh yeah! bars! they're literally like a chocolate bar, so they're easier to eat if you don't like the regular protein bar texture! gluten free aswell :-)

    FitCrunch bars are my go to. 16 grams of protein for like 190 calories. I like some of the qwest bars but they changed something and are not as good as they were before.

    I have to admit, those look pretty good. Clif Builder's have the same amount of protein and a slightly better micronutrient profile, but at the cost of 90 additional calories compared to FitCrunch.

    Fit Crunch above all others. They just taste too good and aren't your run of the mill cold pressed play dough protein bar lol

    love some flavors of quest bars. i usually buy 'em for about $2 to $2.20 per bar in boxes of 12. recommend the chocolate chip cookie dough, but the cookies and cream travels a bit better if they're going to be in a warmish place for a while.

    I actually like the Pure Protein bars. 20g of Protein for 210 or less calories per bar. The caramel peanut tastes like a candy bar and is my FAVORITE :D

    I've tried several Quest bars and thought they were simply awful

    Not sure why you are spending $3 a bar. Order directly from QuestNutrition.com and get a box of 12 for $24.99 which makes them $2.09 a bar.

    I eat Quest bars and love them. I have Celics disease and every brand that claims to be Gutem free that I've tried still causes stomach issues. Quest bars have never been an issue so I stick with them even though I pay a little more.
