Protein bars



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if you can buy Quest Protein bars by the single instead of a box at GNC or anywhere else and if so are they any good? I tend to lean towards a more fruity kind of bar like the apple pie or the mixed berry one is probably what I'd like instead of a chocolate one. I don't want a bar that is gritty tasting.

Thx

Hi Donna....I made the mistake of purchasing Quest Protein bars---I had read Bariatric Foodies raving reviews of them (but then realized she gets a kickback from them for each clickthru so perhaps she was a bit biased). The worst Protein Bar I've ever tasted. Greasy AND gritty at the same time, slimey and with a vague hint of dust. (I bought the Peanut Butter and chocolate one.) It doesn't even look like a Protein bar...more like molded bodily waste.

The only benefit to this bar is that one would never ever binge on them they are so vile.

Sadly, I had to buy an entire box of them. So you are wise to try to find just one to sample.

i have tried numerous Protein Bars as my hub sees that it is his mission to find them..he found revolution Protein bars from Walmart that sells some awesome protein bars in a 6 pack box in many flavors...my fave is the chocolate peanut caramel and has 20 grams protein and reminds me of a snickers bar....i always have them in my purse or i my drawer at work for a snack or when i am out/about.....my friend AJ loves them....come to think of it, walmart has all kinds/types of protein bars..may want to go and take a looksee there..hope you find one you like/enjoy :)

I have bought Quest bars individually at gnc.. the cookie dough one is the one I like the best.. other flavors are not great...and they are quite chewy... however they have the lowest amount of sugar of all the Protein bars.. Walmart does have a great selection I have bought muscle milk bars that I keep in my purse in case I get stuck somewhere that I can't eat....

Donna 12 I have got my at Vitamin Shoppe they have them in singles, also you might be able to ask if you can only buy singles some store will do that. I love the Peanut Butter. Also tomorrow Vitamin Shoppe is having a health fair at all there locations. I am going to see what they have to try for samples on the Protein side of things.

Thanks everyone, glad I asked, whew! I will ck Walmart out first. I did get some cliff bars from there and I like them but was looking for ones with more Protein. I didn't like the cliff ones that have more protein, it was nasty. I just like the regular ones Peanut Butter crunch I think it is.

Thanks so much for posting about Revolution protein bars. I bought some and tried one just now and it is great! I've never been able to find any that I liked with a good protein to calorie ratio until now. Thanks so much!

I wish I had read this before I went to GNC today. They had buy 2 great one free. The girl said that these bars don't have that chalk taste and the strawberry cheesecake tastes like a strawberry pop tart!! Oh we'll, hoping for the best. (She did say I could bring the unopened ones back if I didn't like them)

Has anyone tried the Detour Protein bars? I bought a box of 25 bars and I do like the chocolate Peanut Butter. I've also bought the assorted box but I really only like the chocolate peanut butter. Each bar contains 15 mg of protein I believe .

Think Thin Protein Bars are really good- very low in sugar and high in Protein. I get them from Safeway. It's super important to watch the sugar content of the store bought ones. I think the GNC ones have low sugar too.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
