    There have 20 g protein and are tasty.

    Cliff builders bars

    think thin protein bars (even better cold)

    There is a strawberry cream (or strawberry something) Pure Protein bar that's amazing.

    Agree. The strawberry one tastes like pie. Honestly.

    I also just found The Zone Bars... chocoalte/peanut butter. It honestly tastes like a candy bar. :)

    Quest Protein Bars (all-natural line): 20g protein, no soy, gluten-free, no fillers, no glycerin, no added sugars, 4-6g non-fiber carbs, lots of fiber and uses the all-natural sugar alcohol, erythritol (which doesn't cause bloating and bypasses the stomach) instead of maltitol.

    Awesome!!! Thanks everyone- maybe i'll try them all out to decide which one I like the best. Unfortunately today i'm stuck with this pure protein ones- I bought two thinking they couldn't be THAT bad. I haven't even made it thru the first one. lol

    I second the Clif Builders Bars - the chocolate tastes like a s'mores, and the chocolate mint? Soooo yummy!

    I dunno man, I eat these are the regular because yum!

    If you want a "sweeter" tasting bar, I also like the Detour chocolate caramel bars - however, they're loaded with sugar alcohols and only 15g of protein. But, they taste like a candy bar!

    Quest bars are by far the most natural/healthiest... The only one that is edible is the coconut cashew. It's actually pretty good.

    Too many bars out there, especially in the health market, are way too high in sugar - most have more sugars than protein. I'd stay away from Luna, Lara and Cliff bars.

    I like the pure protein brand bars and they beat the heck out of most protein shakes. my favorite is the peanut butter but I think the peanut, carmet chocolate one tastes like a snickers.

    I've tried them all, and I certainly enjoyed some flavors more than others. A few of them taste much better after being heated in the microwave (Chocolate Brownie and Apple Pie). My favorites are coconut cashew and cinnamon roll, though.

    I use the Pure Protein ones, got a triple pack at Costco of Chocolate Deluxe, Chocolate Chip, and Peanut Butter. Hard to beat the protein vs cals in a bar.
    My fav is the Chocolate chip, but they aren't super tasty. I can eat them, and after a hard workout, they are even kinda good, but not something I run for when feeling snacky.
    Have a full bottle of cold water while you are eating it, and take small bites. I found that more than the taste, the gummy texture was bothering me, but taking sips of water after every bite helped.

    I didn't like that one either, but some of the other Pure Protein bars are great. I like the chocolate peanut butter one and the smores one is awesome! I need to try more varieties.

    I also like clif builder bars, the chocolate mint is like thin mints to me and their new smores one is excellent as well. The chocolate chip, vanilla almond, and chocolate ones are pretty good as well.

    Think thin has a few good ones as well. The chocolate brownie and dark chocolate ones are decent.

    I have used the Clif Builders Protein bar and noticed it had 20 grams of protein but also 23g sugars. I found a protein bar that still has the prtotien but less suagr and taste great. It's called Questbar/protein bar. I have tried the peanut butter and the cinnamon. No sugar or yucky aftertaste. I think there great!

    Yeah I def don't want something with a ton of sugar. My coworker was talking about special k ones- but I've looked at the nutrition on them and the protein is like 10 g and the sugar is plentiful... I want the protein- I just want to be able to stomach it, too. LOL

    Supreme bars are tasty

    Power Crunch is fabulous tasting! I also have been appreciating Supreme Protein (especially chocolate peanut butter wafer YUM!)

    Luna bars are new to my repertoire and I'm really liking most of those too. It's trial and error. A few months ago, I splurged and bought one of every flavor from each brand and have been discovering what I like and what I don't. I think it's worth it because now I KNOW and don't end up buying a 30 pack of something I'll hate.

    I like that Strawberry creme and the blueberry whatever pure protein bars. I don't eat much of any of those because of the sugars (real and fake) but when I do, I actually prefer the pure protein bars.

    Thanks for posting this thread. I'm on the fence as to whether I want to invest in protein powder or bars. Bars seem so much more convenient.

    If they are that horrid, don't choke the second one down. Either give it to someone else or just trash it. I would rather waste $1 than gag something down!

    The Pure Protein chocolate peanut butter is good - I like to put them in the fridge and then eat it about 5 minutes after you pull one out but even if just out of the box I find them to be the best flavor so far.

    No problem- I actually have powder (but i'm in the middle of moving and they are packed away somewhere) so I figured i'd try the bars....Just looking for one that I can actually stomach!

    ABSOLUTELY HORRID TASTE. Any suggestions on protein bars that are actually TASTY....or at least don't taste like soil?? :sick:

    OMG! I just bought a box of these because they were the cheapest. I showed my kids the difference between the bar and the picture on the box. "Eating soil" is an excellent way to describe it.

    I also noticed the box says: "For best results drink 8 fl. ounces of water or other liquid with this bar." NO JOKE!

    My favorite is the zone perfect bars. The only flavor I like is the Dark Chocolate with almond/raisin, it smells and tastes like amerretto(sp?). I have one almost every morning! They sell single protein bars too at walmart if you are looking to test drive different ones. Good luck, way to go and all that happy stuff - lol :)

    I know you can order Quest online, is there anywhere that carries them in person?

    Hahaha, yeah I wish i'd seen the box. I stopped at rite- aid on the way into work this morning and picked up a couple single bars- didn't bother reading the packaging other than the nutritional values and saw it had 20 g of protein- figured it couldn't be that bad. But yes, definitely horrid.
