    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.


    Yup, these are my favorite, especially cause I watch my carb intake

    In my opinion, the best tasting protein bars are the Myoplex Lite bars.

    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!
    Larabar. They are very good and are gluten free. Not as much protein as ThinkThin, but a good option for a different flavor of bar.

    Luna Bars are amazing! They generally have 8-9 grams of protein and are about 180 calories.

    I like the Kashi Go Lean "Crunchy!" bars myself - 9g of protein and 6g of fiber for the chocolate peanut variety.

    I love the Smart Protein and the Power Crunch Bars. Lots of delicious Bars with 15-20 Grams of Protein. However, be careful! Check the Sugar Grams very carefully. Some of the Protein Bars are loaded with sugar -- like 24+ grams per bar. Just like anything else you eat, check the nutrition data carefully. There are great bars with 4-8 grams of sugar. That's more than enough!

    Luna bars are my favorite. Also the Adkins milk chocolate shake is 160 cals and really good. I have one every morning.

    Definitely Supreme Protein bars. They are as good as candy bars. The PB&J bars are unbelievable! The other flavors are winners as well. They sell them at Target, WalMart, GNC...etc. Definitely check them out, you won't be disappointed.

    i like pure protein bars, they usually have 16-20g of protein & are lower in sugar. why not go to Ralph's or Stater Bros or your local national chain market and check out their nutrition aisle?? Be sure to go to the nutrition aisle because that's where you'll find single bars of various brands and flavors you can sample. Ralphs & Stater Bros often have them on sale for $0.99 a bar and if you have a 2 for 1 coupon, sometimes they're only $0.50 each! Happy hunting!

    The smaller Supreme Protein bars are my favorite. 190 calories each and tasty! You should go to a Vitamin Shoppe or other similar store and buy a couple different individual bars to try!

    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!


    Wow, only 6g of sugar that's great. I thought they would have had more sugar. I will have to try these. :smile:

    Power Crunch Bars are delicious! I've been eating the chocolate and peanut butter ones. Yum!

    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.



    I agree! Love these and they are so light, not at all thick or hard to chew like some bars. My fave is the chocolate!

    Clif bars are the only ones I like. I'm also a fan of Honey Stinger waffles.

    I *LOVE* Honey Stinger protein bars (the 10g versions are around 200 calories. A bit high in sugar because of the honey, but SO TASTY!)

    I also love Larabars, though they tend to be a bit lower in protein. Luna bars are great, too!

    I love making protein shakes.....I like Pure Protein....120 calories and 23 grams of protein. Add some strawberries, fat free whip cream, Agava necter.....even some dry sugar free jello. Chill and taste like a good shake. You can also add more protein (dry) or I use maca powder...this makes it taste more like a malt.

    I like Oh Yeah - 6x Almond Fudge Brownie bars. They have 190 calories, 18 carbs, 9 fat, 4 sugars, 14 protein.
    I also like Supreme Protein Bar Carb Conscious. I like the Peanut butter crunch and the peanut butter pretzel twist. They are 190 calories and 210 calories and both have 15 grams of protein.

    Regarding the Nature Valley Protein bars -- Sam's Club is carrying them where we are now (in VA) -- I think there are 18 in the box for about $9, so pretty inexpensive as protein bars go.

    I especially Love the White Macadmia Nut Cliff Bar. Just a tad over 200 cal. But very Tasty, satisfying and filling. I also like the Atkins Bars. I always check the Nutritional labels carefully. Luck in finding what works for you. So many to choose from. But after all these comments, you will have lots to think about and I'm sure your find some good ones. :)

    I really am not sure what they're called, but they are a protein bar sold at most gas-stations and convenience stores in Canada, and they are SO good. They are about 200 calories and the flavors I have seen are cookie dough, chocolate and peanut butter, and fudge.

    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.

    I love the chocolate peanut butter flavor...mmm...but I don't use it as a meal replacement, just as a pre-workout snack.

    I bought a box called Fiber One and I ate the whole box watching a movie one night, needless to say I thought I was going to die that night, I woke up in so much stomach pain.

    Larabar. They are very good and are gluten free. Not as much protein as ThinkThin, but a good option for a different flavor of bar.

    Larabars have all natural ingredients, as well. The "Lemon Bar" I'm looking at has: dates, cashews, almonds, lemon juice concentrate, natural lemon flavor. Gluten free, soy free, dairy free, non-GMO, vegan AND kosher. Can't beat it...except they're not always cheap :huh:
