macman 603 Posted November 12, 2014 I have tried many. Without a doubt Quest are the best! chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, White Chocolate Raspberry and Cookies and Cream are favorites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) I prefer larabars. Nine ingredients or less, no artificial sweeteners the sugar is from dates. No GMO's, sugar free, dairy and many are gluten & vegan as well. Qwest bars have stevia in them and I'm allergic to stevia. If you feel creative you can make your own using your choice of nut butter, and your own Protein powder. You can then add in your choice of mix ins such as dried fruit, coconut, oats, or nuts. Check pinterest for recipes. Edited November 13, 2014 by Blerdgirl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tekjr1 22 Posted November 13, 2014 I'm very much a fan of the Clif Builders Bar chocolate Mint. Beware they are a little high in calories (270) and carbohydrates (30g). However, this is what I eat before I go into the gym each morning and complete a cardio workout that usually lasts 60 minutes. My Dr does not recommend them for all of their WLS patients but they have told me that with my activity level they are fine if I limit myself to 1 bar per day. Beware they are very good!

Ladybug123 33 Posted November 13, 2014 I have celiac disease so that takes a bunch of them out of the running, but I do eat and love Quest bars. .. apple pie flavor is my fave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
