what are some good tasting protein bars and shakes?

Have you tried Spiru-Tein? Here's their website:

My morning smoothie for years has been:

1 cup of non-dairy milk (I have a history of digestive trouble with too much dairy, but if milk works for you use that)
3/4 - 1 C frozen pie cherries (I buy these at Whole Foods in the frozen section, they're plan and un-sugared)
1 banana
1 scoop of Chocolate Spiru-Tein

I blend it all up, and will sometimes add some flax oil. It's delicious and very nutritious!

The best bar I ever had tastes like a candy bar! lol It's one of the Special K meal replacement protein bars! mmmm!!!

Protein shakes...go to GNC get the wheybolic ones.... i LOVE the chocolate, I have it every morning mixed with a cup of skim milk & it tastes just like chocolate milk. (as a female I only use one scoop)

I live off of Atkins shakes and South Beach meal bars. Both are high in protein and fiber and low on calories and sugar. Other high protein foods taste too chalky to me. Plus I can get my taste of chocolate in both meals and not feel guilty.

Ive lately read a lot about Quest Bars so just ordered a variety pack to try them (Freeshipping code) ...From what I hear, they are very good tasting for a protein bar, have a short list of ingredients, no gluten or sugar, very high protein (20g), high fiber (17g)...im hoping they're as good as the reviews as I've tried to diet so have gotten rid of a lot of sugary -based products such as low cal ice creams or vita tops - may be good if you only have one every now and then but i find if i have these things in the house, i usually eat multiple so its hard to control portions esp once you get the sugar bug

For protein drinks, the thing I found most usable is to get a shaker bottle so that every blends smoothly. I find most of them taste similarly. I like the pre made EAS Carb Control Dark Chocolate (also vanilla and strawberry - 17g protein, 110 cal and sugar free low carb)...As for powders, I tend to mix them with low-cal Soy Milk (Don't know if this is a good idea but I saw skim milk was having over 12 g of sugar and my fitness pal sugar was always over the top even when I thought I was eating well)...If you really want to bump up your protein - take one eas carb control + one cup of soy slender + 1.5 scoops of protein - good breakfast - filling and start your day wit a lot of protein - also makes a good snack

Quest bars are the best I've tried as well as best of nutrition stats.
I also like promax ls and thinkthin bars after they've been refridgerated. The regular promax cookies and cream is good but I will only eat it right before a big muscle group workout because of the high sugar content and rarely at that.

I also love myofusion's milk chocolate probiotic whey and optimum nutritions's choc peanutbutter/cake batter casein.

Lära Bara Specifacally the cashew cookie flavor Not really a protein bar but a very clean bar. Only two ingredients are dates and cashews. So good.

Atkins bars are pretty good tasting, rather like a candy bar almost. I like Isopure protein drink mix. The container calls for 2 scoops for a serving but that is 50 gm of protein and I find if I just use one scoop and mix it with a cup of 1% milk, it's quite nice. Tastes like chocolate milk. I like to have it with a piece of fruit for a breakfast meal

I LOVE the Larabars and Odwalla bars. The ingredients read real food. No weird stuff, just things that grow on trees. My favorite Odwalla flavor is the banana nut and my favorite Larabar is apple pie. Very tasty.

Oh, and I second that Spirutein shakes are pretty good and good for you. Maybe not the turbo super high weightlifter style protein shake but very good and reasonable. There are tons of flavors and a lot of health food stores carry the brand. They make single serving packs too, making it easy to sample different flavors. I really like the vanilla, the blueberry and the tropical fruit.

im trying to get into the bars and shakes, but i cant find any that taste half way decent. any suggestions?

feel free to add me as well

What a way to add friends...Only 19 OK i'll send you a creeper FR right away..lol

I'm using Body Fortress Whey Protein Vanilla 1 scoop 140 cal 26g protein
I started with vanilla so I could have more option for diff blends.
Good luck

:noway:

Don't buy protein bars... Filled with sugars and processed garbage; you can make your own for WAY cheaper that will taste better and be a lot better for your health and goals...

Quest Bars... period

I don't do the protein bars too much. Although I do have them in a pinch just in case I can't have a meal or something on the go. I use Muscletech chocolate whey protein shakes with PB2..they are delicious with an unsweet almond mild or with water.

Think Thin Bars are fairly decent tasting and not too bad for carbs. I usually find them at Trader Joe's.

I also like Premiere Protein Double Chocolate Crunch bars.
