What is in your Protein Bars?

How much carbs and how much sugar?

I use Quest Protein Bars. They are made with Stevia. They come in many flavors. High in Fiber, low sugar, gluten free, no GMO. 20 or 21 grams of protein.

I also use Jay Robb whey Protein Powder for make my shakes. They are very good tasting and they are smooth. They are made with Stevia. Come in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry or one or two other flavors. 25 grams of protein in each serving.

sugar free almond milk works well with the protein powder and it adds more protein to the shake.< /p>

I also use Torani sugar free syrups in my Protein Shakes. They are made with Splenda and come in many, many flavors.

Quest Bars can be bought from GNC, directly from the company, Amazon, or eBay.

Jay Robb can be bought at a Whole Foods or I buy it from Amazon.

Torani sugar free syrups can be bought directly from the company or World Market if you have one in your area.

Good luck wit your upcoming surgery.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
