fuzzymonkey 38 Posted July 3, 2014 Anyone have any recommendations for some good granola/bars that can be used for Breakfast? I've tried some Protein Bars but it seems like so many only offer chocolate or peanutbutter and I'm kind of sick of that taste. Want like a berry or fruit flavor. High Protein, low carb.

shahada 82 Posted July 3, 2014 Have you tried making your own? I make a chocolate Peanut Butter Protein cookie for breakfast (I still like that flavor lol), but on pinterest, they have lots of protein granola bar ideas Most of them include dried fruits, Protein Powder, an egg or two, honey, and oats. I think Quest bars (at GNC) also make some fruit flavors. Those are super high protein and low carb for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kindle 8,667 Posted July 3, 2014 Unfortunately most "breakfast bars" and granola bars are super high in sugar and carbs. But since I hate the artificial taste and chewy globby texture of most Protein bars, I have had to try and find a compromise.... Natures Valley Protein Bar is made of real nuts with soy Protein isolate that doesn't effect the texture. 10g protein, 6g sugar. Both the Peanut Butter dark chocolate and Salted Carmel nut are good Natures Valley Greek Yogurt Protein is also real nuts and soy protein isolate. 10g protein, 11g sugar. I've only tried their mixed berry and it's good. GNC Lean Bars. Texture like a rice crispy treat. 15g protein, 7g sugar. The strawberry yogurt is my fav, but the chocolate chip is good, too. Since I'm under goal, I've been trying to add more healthy carbs to slow weight loss. I just added some "not so high in protein but still not high in sugars" bars to my snack list.... Kashi pumpkin spice flax granola bar, Kind Healthy Grain vanilla blueberry and Puréed Organic Ancient Grains (just found them at Sam's Club and they contain quinoa, amaranth, flax, hemp, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and brown rice.
