So I'm shopping around for protein bars I want to know which ones people like! ???? or recipes for homemade ones!

I tried the lemon supreme on lord it was horrible..... Lol bt the s'mores is really good!

My fave protein bar is Quest! Premier is my favorite protein shake but their bars leave a lot to be desired, in my opinion of course. Here are my reasons why, I don't like bars that are coated, I'm not willing to give up almost 300 calories for a bar, prefer to keep my sugar at 6g or less and you can't make warm and delicious cookies with them. Yep, I said cookies. One bar makes 4 - 2" cookies. I tear them, place on a paper plate and microwave for 20 seconds. Sometimes I sprinkle a lil Splenda if they have chocolate chunks in them to sweeten them up. Here are 16 different flavors:

• Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Cookies & Cream, Double Chocolate Chunk, Chocolate Brownie,
• White Chocolate Raspberry, Cinnamon Roll Flavor, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Coconut Cashew,
• Strawberry Cheesecake, Apple Pie, Vanilla Almond Crunch, Peanut Butter Supreme,
• Banana Nut Muffin, Peanut Butter & Jelly, Mixed Berry Bliss, Lemon Cream Pie

Here's the nutrition info using the Chocolate/Peanut Butter bars in each brand:

I hope you find one (or many) that you love!

Some of the quest bars have the sugar alcohol that makes me very sick, also yes it is more sugar but as double of protein, usually is my lunch. I have to say that I'm getting tired of protein bars or shakes. I just wish I could eat " normal" food and still meet my protein goal.

Lol see I like the lemon meringue and can't stand the s'mores! Everyone is different.

Exactly that's why I'm like let's see what other people get lol

Thought about y'all this morning as I took that first bite of my 1/2 Quest Cinnamon Roll Protein bar warm and tasty (sprinkled lightly with Splenda) out of the microwave ... Super Yum

Quest changed their recipe and now I am devastated.

I like Quest bars, too. I like Choc Chip Cookie Dough and Raspberry white chocolate. If you go to GNC and join their discount program for $20 you can get a box of 12 for $25.

It was changed this month. I am so incredibly sad. They keep saying it is for the better. But the ingredient change is not for the better and I am so sad. I don't want corn in my Quest bars. If I wanted corn anything I would just eat corn :-(

I messaged them very up set and they responded and blah blah blah. But here is the crap they are trying to say is "good"

It's less Fiber and less healthy

More fat

And just bull :-(

Wow how crazy. I love this app! Cause everybody is so different with preference and all of have so much different knowledge it's good to know!

Interesting! I just bought a bunch and they have the same old ingredients. Maybe I should stock up!

Hmmmm I might actually like the change. The old fiber in them was HIGHLY processed chemically:

And the source of the big lawsuit:

So I'm game for the change.

Thank you for the info. I have much more reading to do. The taste is growing on me. But I am still very sad that my old ones are gone.

I haven't tasted the new formulas yet so I may be sad too after all. The two newest flavors (mint choc and s'mores) have always had the corn fiber but they've never been my favorites because they are the "crumbly" kind for want of a better word, like the Cookies and Cream ones and I prefer the smoother tootsie roll textured ones so time will tell!

@@jess9395 I'm with you. Don't like the crumbly. The S'mores is way too sweet for my taste!
