I really like Atkins bars, the chocolate peanut butter is delicious. I've never done Atkins diet so I was kinda weary but they're good!

Pure Protein are my favorite.

^ this!

The Atkins bars are amazing.

My
Favourite is the mint decadence and the cookies and cream.

Quest bar are also good! I cut them into four and put them in my George Forman grill-kinda makes cookies

Why not make some? They are quick and easy - and a little cheaper.

Stir together Protein Bar
• 1/2 Cup Milk (amount depends on the absorbency of the protein powder.)
• 3 Tablespoons Pure Honey
• 250g Natural nut/seed Butter (Around 16 Tablespoons - or one pot of 'Pip&nut' cashew nut butter or peanut butter)

• 2 Cups Rolled Oats (160g)
4 &1/2 Scoops Protein Powder (135g) -Chocolate or Vanilla have worked very well

Optional flavour:
2 Teaspoons Ground Cinnamon or 2 teasp cocoa powder or mixed spice or ground ginger or chilli...)


Extras:
• Handful Chocolate Chips /Chopped cherries/chopped crystalized ginger/coconut/ (sweetener if you have a very sweet tooth!)
• Handful Dried fruit/ chopped nuts


Mix milk, honey, and peanut butter in a pan over low heat until combined and warmed.
Add in the rest of the ingredients and more milk if recipe appears to be too dry (aim for a soft dough).
Once mixed press into a greased pan/dish. (I line mine with foil or paper first)
Let cool/harden before cutting them and wrapping them individually. I keep them out of sight in the fridge...

I like the Premier Protein, Pure Protein and Think Thin bars. So far, I haven't found any that i don't toss.

I am in love with Cacao Mint Bounce Protein Bombs. I buy them in bulk off Amazon for between £15-18 for 12 which isn't too bad, as they are about E2.50 in the shops here. Also like Myprotein Cookies & Cream Wafers and Myprotein Muffin Mix to make my own muffins.

If I'm feeling fancy and want a treat I'll have some Optimum Nutrition Cake Bites or a Combat Crunch Birthdsy Cake

I only buy these occasionally as I am 'too tight' (i.e don't like to spend the money on them!)

In for brands/flavours and if anyone can tell me in the UK where to get my hands on the best value ones please

I had heard such great things about Quest bars that I went out and bought a couple to try. They were thrown out after two bites. The fake sugar aftertaste is horrid in my opinion, I really don't know how so many people love them so much.
I don't do fake sugars, though, so maybe if you're used to them?

The bars I do like are Clif peanut butter chocolate chip (10-ish g protein), and Clif Builder peanut butter chocolate chip (20 g protein). I also love, love, love Peanut butter chocolate chip ( so you sense a theme?) Lara bars, but they only have 6 or 7 g of protein. They often serve as my "candy bar".

Agreed. I had the same experience with Quest bars. I find sucralose, and most artificial sugars, to be very nasty.

I like regular Clif bars, but not the ones with the extra protein. I think it's the Soy Protein Isolate. I find bars made with this edible, but not enjoyable.

My supermarket carries Think Thin protein bars with higher and lower protein counts and I prefer the lower, probably again due to the soy protein.

I've been testing a protein bar every time I go to the supermarket after the gym or a hike. I like Rx Peanut but not Maple Almond. I like all the versions of Aloha I've tried.

I recently bought a box of the Kirkland protein bars. I actually like them. Crazy amounts of fiber, though, so don't ever eat more than one. I did find them very effective for keeping me full - half for a morning snack, half in the afternoon.

Convenient Nutrition Protein Wheyfers (double chocolate)

Robert Irvine's FitCrunch baked protein bars (peanut butter and birthday cake flavors)
