South Beach Diet Protein Bar



Recommended Posts

Where have I been? I just discovered the South Beach Diet breakfast wraps. I love the Denver ones. I don't know why it took me so long to find these. I love the Peanut Butter diet Protein Bars. They are my favorite. I was wrong about the calorie content...they are only 210 calories a bar. Awesome in place of a meal and terrific when you crave a chocolate bar.

220 cals is a lot. there are plenty of low carb, 20-22 gram Protein Drinks that run 110-120 calories. the 220 cal bar maybe okay every once in a while but i would not do it regulerly.

I can't vouch for the flavor but the PowerCrunch (GM friend uses them) have:

170 calories

8g fat

8g carbs

1g dietary Fiber

14g Protein

I think I'll stick with my 90 cal Protein shakes though. 8g fat is more than I feel comfortable eating in one place still. :straight

Dody, I cant find them. :)

...Ill keep checking.

Paula, they still have a huge display at my Walmart, but they also have them with all the other Protein Bars near the slim-fast, etc. Ask for some help. I truly think you will enjoy them. I'm pretty sure if one Walmart carries South Beach products (protein bars and frozen foods) that all of them do, but I could be wrong. Grab a salesclerk next time you are in your local Walmart and have them help you.

One of these bars is a meal. I don't think anyone could say that 210 calories is a lot for a meal. I don't mean you have to eat them all the time, but when you have that craving for a candy bar (and I do, it's my weakness) these really are a lot less calories and more Protein then I could dream of in a Take 5 candy bar. I'm addicted to the peanut butter/chocolate ones and that 210 calories for a meal doesn't make me feel guilty in the least. I would much rather eat something then drink a Protein Shake. Sometimes you need the chewing aspect as well.

Cinnamon? Did you get those on the cereal aisle. I think those are the small ones, but I'm not sure. The ones I'm talking about only come in 3 flavors...chocolate/peanut butter, chocolate and vanilla. They are big and they are 210 calories. I don't know anything about the cinnamon ones, but I'm so sorry they gave you an upset stomach. They must make another bar too. I found these over with the diet products and not on the cereal aisle.

I like them too! I have been eating them for a while. I like the chocolate & peanutbutter ones the best so far. I haven't tried the apple cinnamon ones yet. Now that I'm so tight I have a hard time eating the whole thing. Lately I have been drinking the vanilla flavored boost shakes. They're small & tastey! The chocolate boost sucks in my opinion.

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

        I've been dreaming about it for 30 years or so. It's time to make it happen!

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
