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

      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.
