Best tasting protein bars?



Recommended Posts

I like Pure Protein from Sam's Club. Box has 3 flavors. 20g Protein and either 2 or 1g sugar. I also like Quest Bars that are naturally sweetened. chocolate Chunk and coconut cashew are my favorites.

I've tried Quest, premier, pure Protein and many other "regular" Protein Bars and didn't like any of them. It's mostly a texture thing, but I'm not a fan of the "artificial" taste, either. I have found 3 that I like though, and I keep them handy for lunch on the go. They may not pack as much of a Protein punch, but their protein/sugar/calorie ratios are acceptable to me...

Natures Valley Protein (nuts and soy protein isolate) 10g protein/6g sugar/190 cal. You are chewing actual nuts, not a Gummy, pasty glob of protein.

GNC Total Lean (soy protein crisp, whey protein, milk powder) 15g protein/4-7g sugar/170-180 calories. Texture like a rice crispy treat.

Fiber One Protein caramel nut (peanuts, soy protein isolate) 7g protein/7g sugar/130 calories. This one barely qualifies as a Protein Bar (ok, it really doesn't) but it's like eating a snickers!

Suggestion pls

Quest hands-down favorite, especially the Cookies and Cream and the Cinnamon Roll flavors. The Peanut Butter and Jelly is nice too but not worth the calories. I'd highly suggest buying an individual one vs a whole box so you don't get stuck with a flavor you don't like.

I agree Pure Protein first and then Quest Bars

Supreme Protein caramel nut, orange wrapper....yummy

Sold in Walmart or GNC. I buy them in a box of 5 snack size that I sometimes eat one for a meal. Since surgery, I cannot consume a full size bar.

@@DonRodolfo Our local GNC stopped carrying Quest bars. The owner said it was because they changed the formulas and now use more artificial things, which increased the sugar alcohols and he did want to carry them. Have you found that to be true?

This is news to me but it's possible. I find it curious that the GNC website still carries them.

Next time I'm at a GNC in the DFW area I'll ask.

This is an independent franchise, and he's super picky about what he carries. Our mall one does still have them!

Without a doubt Quest Protein Bars: White chocolate Raspberry, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough or Cookies and Cream

Quest Bars hands down. Taste is great, but the ingredients are what make them stand out. Very pure in comparison to what is on the market.

"Oh yea" bars are pretty awesome! 20g of Protein and they taste like a snickers bar. I have only found them at Albertsons and Amazon. Best Protein Bar I have ever tasted. And I have tasted ALOT

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
