    I like the Quest Hero bars -- they're a new discovery for me. More like a candy bar, but still filling, and with more protein/fewer carbs than I expected. I was a little worried about possible *ahem* digestive effects from the allulose, but so far nothing bad.

    I like the Kirkland protein bars, that fiber in them as well as protein. Yum!

    I started keeping these on hand after Quest changed their formulation. Chocolate chip cookie dough is my fave!

    Ditto.

    Can't be worse than the Quest protein chips . . . salty sawdust, I swear.

    People seem to like the Costco/Kirkland copycat of the quest bars and they are way cheaper. The texture is not for me.

    Ditto. But I also never liked raw cookie dough.

    I like the Cliff Builder bars, but at 270 cals for 20g protein, I don't eat a lot of them.

    I like it.... shrug

    +1 Everyone's taste buds are different. Personally, I've never found a protein drink I could stomach without being queasy for hours after, yet I know plenty of people use them and like them.

    I look at a lot of the "protein bars" and shake my head. 250-400 calories and 7g-15g of protein? No thanks. I'd eat a Snickers bar instead for those kind of counts.

    I like the Kaizen Naturals Chocolate one. It's sweetened by Stevia, so most of the calories come from the protein.

    Toss some ice, a little water, a banana and a scoop of this in the blender and it's (almost) like a milk shake.

    I'm totally willing to try it! Thanks for the tip :happy:

    If that’s the best ‘protein’ bar you can find you need to get out of the lolly aisle!

    Yum. Taste like candy bars to me but they keep me full and help me meet protein goals. Happy I like them. I mostly only enjoy the cookie dough from Quest.

    Builder bars are 270 cals and 20 g protein. I buy a box of 3 types from Costco and the Chocolate Mint are the first to go. I need to find a good place to just buy those for a similar price.
