    I like just about all of the Balance Bars - cookie mint crunch, caramel nut blast, fudge brownie, cinnamon roll, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

    Luna Bar has a new line called Luna Protein. Pretty good. 190 cals or less. I've tried cookie dough and chocolate peanut butter. Both were pretty good. I think 12 g of protein.

    Depends on how much sugar you want with your protein. I like Pure Protein bars and most of the Atkins ones.

    Zone Bars are great, but I prefer Luna Bars over all of them! I just saw a packet of Mini Luna Bars at Target for like 6.99...The flavors are to die for. I love the Peanut Butter crunch, I just stay away from them because they have sugar in them and I;d rather get my sugar from fruits...But once in a while they are delish!

    Cliff Bars are really good! I think they range between 210 and 270 calories :ohwell:, however I find them very filling. Most of the flavors have 10 grams of protien (sometimes more)

    Another thing I like for breakfast is Naked Juice in the flavor Green Machine. Its great for getting your fruits and veggies.



    Hope I helped some :flowerforyou:

    I'm allergic to gluten, so I'm not sure if they're actually good or I just think they are because I can't have anything else...buuuuuut Think Thin bars are really good and have a lot of protein (20g, I think) and keep me full. I especially like the peanut butter one! Trader Joe's has them.

    ETA: And they're sugar free!

    Nature Valley has a new line of protein/granola bars. The peanut butter/dark chocolate has 10 grams of protein, 190 calories, 12 g fat, 5 g fiber, 6 g sugar. I think they are pretty satisfying when I need to grab something quickly for breakfast or a snack.

    I just started eating protein bars and I like the Pure Protein, they range from 180-200 calories and don't taste bad at all. They help with my sweet tooth too. Chocolate Deluxe is the bomb!!!

    I love the coconut white chocolate chip cliff bar flavor. I have no idea what the calories are, but I do love them.

    Power Crunch are really good. 14 grams protein, 6 grams sugar, 12 grams fat, about 205 calories, and they taste good. 2-1 bars are bigger and have more calories, but have a great protein/carb ratio and are quite tasty.

    My favourite is Pure Protein. Of the 5 flavors I've tried, they're 18-20g protein, 180-210 calories per 50g bar. Super tasty!

    QuestBars are good, peanut butter & jelly is my fave. 20 grams of protein no matter what the flavor. Order online only at QuestBar.com,or look at the advertisements on this site.

    i totally agree! I usually don't really like protein bars (I usually can't get past the chalky taste), but the Nature Valley protein bars are really very good. They taste like actual food! I grabbed some on sale - if you find them, they are definitely worth a shot!

    I absolutely love the Luna White Chocolate Macadamia bars (about 170 cals)! And I was not a fan of protein bars previously. Also the peppermint chocolate ones are pretty good.

    Cliff Bars are really good! I think they range between 210 and 250 calories, however I find them very filling.


    Agreed. Delicious and filling, but a little higher in calories than what you are after.The original energy bars are around 240 calories with 9 - 11 g protein.
    Cliff Builders are around 270 calories, with 20g of protein.

    Pure Protein bars are pretty good! Lower calories and huge protein!! Always fill me up. I'm not a fan of protein powders, and I've found these aren't bad taste-wise. For me the best ones are S'mores and the Marshmallow ones.
