I love the Clif builders bars. I cut them in half, so 135 calories and 10 grams of protein, and I find it a filling snack and good energy for a workout later.
To the person who was warning against the GMOs: What is it about GMOs that would make you want to avoid them?0 -
If you want one that tastes great, doesn't have anything processed, no junk, sugars aren't bad= Jay Robb Protein Bars are awesome. My favorite is chocolate brownie.
I also use the vanilla protein powder because its one of the few without junk or chemicals.
I have got them online, Whole Foods, and at Vitamin Shoppe.0 -

I love the Atkins bars - I eat a daybreak one for breakfast every morning. I don't know your WOE or goals but they're lower-calorie than most protein bars and they're the only ones I found that don't really have any carbs/sugar, which is good for my insulin0

Supreme Protein, Clif Builder, and Power Crunch are the ones I usually go for.0

Think Thin and Cliffs high protein bars are what I prefer. Think thin bars are gluten free and the cliffs chocolate mint tastes great for 20g of protein. I eat them as a snack.0

While not a true protein bar, Larabar fruit and nut bars are minimally processed and excellent for energy. Main ingredients are fruit and nuts. Diary-free, gluten-free, minimal salt, no added sugar (unless a flavor has chocolate). Most bars run about 200 calories.
I'm going to be making some protein bars along the lines of the Larabar (similar to Nakd bars here in the UK) - they look dead simple to make.
Basic ingredients - Dates, nuts and unflavoured protein powder. Extras depending on the desired flavour - oats, cinnamon, raisins, cocoa powder, banana, apple... the list is endless! If they turn out ok I will post in the recipe section...0 -
BuilderBar turnes my Lower GI into manhattan at rush hour.
Nothings moving!!!!!!
O.O
the best power bar IMO is beef Jerky!!!!!0 -
Bump to read later. I am going to need something this summer when we go straight from the gym to the pool.0

My favorite is Premier Nutrition (you can get them in the protein bar aisle at WM OR they sell a big box at Sam's Club).
The chocolate peanut butter one is the best one. It is 280 calories, 30g of protein and 8g of sugar. It doesn't have high fructose corn syrup or sugar alcohols in them (which is HUGE for me as I have horrible reactions to both!)
Best of all? They're like $1/bar!0 -
Quest bars are the only ones I'd consider eating on a regular basis, because they're not full of processed junk (relatively speaking)
where can you get these bars???0 -
Quest bars... high protein, only 2g of sugar, low NET carbs (18g fiber) and they are so freaking amazingly good! You can only get them online right now though I think.0

I avoid all protein bars. Most of them are loaded with sugar. I do like Larabars, though. Probably not particularly high in protein, but good eats.0
-
Not looking at the nutrition info real intensively, I like the Carb Conscious Supreme protein peanut butter pretzel twist. Clif bars make me gag in the flavors I have tried.0
-
To avoid a bunch of artificial junk and too much sugar, consider making your own....oatmeal and peanut butter is a good combo--there are a bunch of recipes online!0
