What does everyone use for protein bars? To get you through the tough times at work. I need something quick and easy that i can throw in my pocket and thought a protein bar would be the answer.

    I'm putting a banana in my shake this afternoon for on my way to work...but need something for while i'm working. I'm an LNA in a busy dementia unit and bananas wouldn't be handy to have in my pockets. Lol

    Quest Bars are pretty good, no junk ingredients and low sugar. A bit pricey compared to most but worth it.

    Protein bars aren't my favorite supplement but if I eat one its the Pure Protein Revolution bars. They are sweetened with sugar alcohol instead of sugar and for some that might cause upset stomach.

    I am currently using Think Thin. They aren't sugary, high protein, and aren't nearly as blah tasting as a lot of the ones I've tried. My favorite so far is Creamy Peanut Butter.

    I use the Herbalife Deluxe Protein bars - especially when it will be several hours before my next meal. The Snackwells brand protein bars aren't bad, especially the peanut butter. Unsalted nuts are really good too - they are high in calories and fat but they are full of protein and good fats. Soynuts are pretty amazing as well. Some fiber cereal is good to snack on - the ones called Cracklin Oat Bran are little squares and seem to be about the best tasting in my opinion. Special K chips are yummy.

    I love snacks, can you tell? : )

    the bars I like are the Marathon energy bars powered by Snickers - they have 13 grams or protein. I love the chewy chocolatey peanut ones. Yum.

    I like the Luna bars. They're relatively lower in sugar, under 200 cals and have a lot of varieties that don't melt!

    The Kind bars are also good. I just have trouble finding ones without cashews or pistachios, which I'm allergic to.

    I read someplace about Nature Valley's Protein Bars. I tried one and fell in love! They are about $2.89 per box and you get like 6 bars. they are packed with 10g of proetin. They are affordable. I like buying stuff I know I will eat.

    I eat the same think for breakfast everyday. Apparently regular Snickers bars now have the same amount of protein and fiber.
