ooo
and there are videos on youtube on how to make your own protein bars
the summation is whey protein+peanut butter+oatmeal+various ingredients.0 -
Try Quest bars!! They have amazing macronutrients and they are completely all natural and taste delicious. Most of them are around 160 to 200 calories, 5 to 6 net carbs, 5 to 10 grams of fat, and 20 grams of protein. I usually order mine online, they are about 2 dollars each. Love them!0

Quest protein bars! Google them! I order them online though, not sure if you are willing to do that.0

i like the balance bar caramel nut blast - eat them for lunch everyday - kinda like a snickers0

PURE PROTEIN! The right amount of everything and isn't loaded with sugar like the Cliff bars!0

I like the Fit and Active Double Chocolate protein bars...170 cals. They taste like a candy bar..they also have a peanut butter flavor. They cost about 4.69 for 6 of them at Aldi.0

I have a slight addiction to Luna bars. They are around 190 calories and about 10g of protein(I think, they are in my cupboard and I am comfortable). I haven't tried a nasty one yet. Usually I have one for breakfast. I have found if I don't eat enough protein early in the day I am way snacky later. These do the trick for me.0

ProMax LS (lower sugar) or Pure Protein both from Costco. They taste like candy bars and both have descent nutritional values. I eat them as my weekday splurge.0

QUEST BARS all the way!!! Used to have to buy them directly from them and then I found a store in the area that carried them and now I think they started to carry them at Vitamin Shoppe.
Apple Pie flavor rocks!! Just had one this afternoon!!!0 -
Pure Protein Chocolate Peanut Caramel bars are just about amazing. I eat the smaller ones (20g protein-ers) as a snack almost daily.0

Luna bars are delicious, I eat the white chocolate mac nut kind for breakfast with a fruit if Im in a rush and they're totally filling : )0

I really like the Luna Bars. There is an iced oatmeal cookie one that I'm in love with lol.0
-
Think Thin are good and have 0 sugars. Each bar is about 200 calories, and gluten free. I like the lemon flavor, but the chocolate peanut butter is yummy, too!0

I am ADDICTED to UltraLean MOCHA bars by Biogenesis. They are delicious and filling. They have about 20 grams of protein and around 200 calories. But they ARE filling.
I also love any of the Luna bars which work out great for me because many of them are GF.0 -
I create my own.
2 cups of Quaker oats
4 scoops of chocolate why protein
1/3 cup of notfat milk
1/2 cup of peanutbutter
Mix all together, put in a pan and stick in freezer for 40 minutes. I then cut it into 6-10 bars depending on the calorie count I'm looking for.
Also, this is alot cheaper than buying a dollar to 1.25 a bar.0 -
I only eat Pure Protein. They are low sugar, high protein. If you want a real treat, try the smores type. Marshmallow just oozes out.0

Luna bars are the best and they taste pretty good.0

i make my own!!you can find recipies online. I always am cooking all the protein bars on here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-eason-livefit-recipes-main-page.html
this way i know exactly whats in them and that there is good quality protein in them! to lessen the carbs i will put less flour and more protein powder. they are delicious0 -
pure protein peanutbutter caramel surprise. All of the pure protein bars have something, i think its called taste. You can taste chocolate, you can taste caramel, and you can taste peanutbutter. good gawd those things are good, the caramel comes out on a long string when you bite it. Before I found these, I was eating Balance Bar Carbwell for years. They are so good that they are discontinuing them, so I had to find something before all the carbwells are gone. I did pure protein bars in the 80's, and they were HUGE.0
