Over the years I've tried most every protein bar out there and they range from yuck to agggggggggg. Seriously, I have tried them all. The other day I saw and purchased for the first time a box of South Beach Diet Protein Bars. I got the chocolate/peanut butter, but they also come in plain chocolate and vanilla. YUM, what an experience after all the yucky protein bars. These have crunchy tops and what looks like pure chocolate on the bottom. They were soooooooooo fresh. It was like eating a candy bar to me, and much better than drinking a protein drink. I got that crunchy taste I love and I would recommend anyone to try these. They have 220 calories and are delicious. Just thought I would tell those of you that require that crunchy taste that these sure do the trick. I'm looking forward to another one today..........Try Them, you'll love them!!

Ha! Dody - you know IM gonna try em. Gone to Walmart later, and definately going to find them.

Thanks for the tip!

I find most protein bars just plain blah. With this one I thought I had a bowl of crunchy cereal and a milk chocolate bar. Let me know if you agree they are yummy. Will be anxious to hear someone else's opinion.

I find Protein bars are just to many calories for me to even try.

Does anyone know of a bar thats about 150 calories but its gotta have a decent amount of protein in it.

Weight Watchers has a "candy" bar that has 140 calories in it but I'm afraid it's not a Protein bar.... I like them for an occassional indulgence since they only count as 2 points cuz they have quite a bit of Fiber in them.

They have two flavors that are like a milky way or a snickers but they only sell them in the Weight Watchers Centers.

NJChick,

The South Beach Protein, CEREAL bar-found in the cereal aisle- is 140cal, 10g protein. I LOVE the peanutbutter ones. I hear the cinnamon ones are good. I think there are chocolate ones. Haven't tried anything but peanutbutter cuz I LOVE 'em! They remind me of those great scotchies, kind of like rice krispie treats made with peanutbutter. YUMMY.

I used to put one in my lunchbag and have it at the end of the work day so that I wasn't ravenous by the time I got home. It felt like a little treat at the end of the day. Plus, it helped me boost my protein intake.

my mouth is waterin'

Where are you going to find a protein shake with 150 calories is my question? I bet most everyone is drinking at the very least 220 calories every drink. I just know these bars are only 220 calories and that's a long ways from a candy bar and they are yummy. They satisfy the urge for those that love chocolate. I haven't seen any on the cereal aisle, but these were on a huge display at Walmart. They are big, they are fresh, they are a meal in a bar, and they are delicious. I tried a sample of all 3 of them and finally decided on the chocolate and peanute butter. I would normally walk right by these bars because they make me gag for the most part, but this one is excellent. I can't eat a meal that has only 220 calories that's for sure, and this satisfied me completely.

I tried the Peanut Butter chocolate South Beach Protein bars and disliked them intensely! I thought they were like chewing on a mouthful of gravel, and I could only choke down about a third of one. I gave them to my soon-to-be-banded sister to try. Haven't heard her opinion. Wish I liked them, because they would be a nice switch from Protein drinks, but I'll have to give these a miss.

I thought it was the best protein bar I've ever eaten, but everyone has their own likes and dislikes. I loved the crunchiness of the bar and the peanut butter flavor. Sorry you didn't like them.

I actually bought a box of these at Walmart today. I think they taste okay but I was only able to eat about a fourth of one before I starting feeling like I was about to get stuck with it. I cant handle the texture of most of the bars.

LA Weightloss centers have some very tasty Protein bars. They aren't all that expensive. They have a peanut butter crunch one that has carmel and covered in chocolate.....cant remember how many calories think about 150ish but they are yummy only found one that was nasty tasting. They also have a meal replacement drink that is good tasting as well. Just thought I would throw that out for you if you are interested. HMR also makes a protein drink that is very good tasting and you mix it with water........very tasty.

I too enjoy the South Beach protein bars, both chocolate and peanut butter. If I don't drink a protein shake for breakfast, I'll have one of them instead (or at least 1/2 of one).

I have also been enjoying these little dandies for a few months now. The are delish!! And after neglecting my palate(spelling?) during diets, man these truly did trick me into thinking i was eating candy.

I think the South Beach Diet Protein Bar got more yays than nays. I'm ready for one right now. If you are a sweet lover you are probably better served by them and/or a cereal lover because it seems like you get a little of both. They are breakfast for me and I love them.

Dawn, thanks for the help, I'm gonna have to check them out. I like something I can grab on the go.

I get my Protein powder/drink ( Designer Protein whey ) at Trader Joe's and its only 90 calories for one scoop, total carbs = 2, and 18 gms of protein. My friend gets a brand I believe from walmart thats already mixed in a can and its about 100 calories, I'll have to ask her the name.

I'm a huge fan of the SB bars - they are my breakfast every morning. There are new flavors - vanilla creme and carmel nut - both delicious. I also like the cereal bars - have one as part of my lunch sometimes.
