Ok guys, there are about a gazillion Protein bars on the market, and let's be realistic, the majority are just glorified candy bars.

So this begs the question, has anyone found some exceptional Protein Bars for a Meal Replacement on the go that they would like to share?

What is the best taste/protein content/lowest calorie/and most natural ingredients that you have tried?

Also, has anyone tried to make their own yet? I'm thinking about playing around with some recipes and seeing what I can come up with :-)

My biggest concern is sugar. I was diagnosed pre-diabetic pre-op and that is why I had the surgery. I don't want to make things worse.

Agree with glorified candy bars.... that said I do love a Quest bar. I stick with the "natural" ones just because they have a few less calories than the other flavors. My favs are strawberry Cheesecake' date=' Coconut Cashew and chocolate Peanut Butter.[/quote']

Hi! What makes some more natural than others? I'm thinking about ordering some quest bars...thanks!!

Sorry can't answer that question. Just noticed when looking at them at GNC the the ones labeled "natural" have 160-170 cals where the others are 190-over 200.

I have tried so many, but I found one that is the BEST tasting one... however, other than taste, it has a rather low amount of protein and high sugar :-/

it's the Honey Nougat from LA Weight Loss. Hard to find if you aren't a member, and on their website, they require you to buy 8 or 16. :-/... but I maintain that taste wise, the BEST I've had... but oh well... sorry can't be of more help.

The are low is sugar. Some are sweetened with Splenda, others are sweetened with stevia. You'll do fine

It is all a matter of taste, however from a Protein standpoint it has whey protein isolate. 20 gms of protein, 5 gms of carbs, low sugar.

Quest Bars are yummy...my fav is the chocolate chip...put it in the microwave for 10 secs or so n it taste like a cookie!!!!

I love quest bars and power crunch bars. I tend to have quest bars more often.

I ended up buying the variety pack from Quest directly. Much cheaper that way and now I can try every flavor to see what I like.

Yup...I like the raspberry one as well!!!

I like to make my own Quest bars. I have a serious problem with niacin and it is just easier to make my own. Its so much cheaper too! Oh and they are delicious, I wrap mine in wax paper and use one of Targets snack measurement zipper bags and store them in the fridge.
