Protein Bar's and powder



Recommended Posts

Looking to see what Protein bars everyone eats and what powder is being used?

My NUT was using Celebrate so I brought a tub of Protein and a box of the Celebrate bars. I like the powder (cinnabun) the bars not so much (Carmel crunch), for my drink I mix 4 oz of skim milk and 4 oz of Water.

I just went today and brought Quest bars which have 4g more of fat, 6g more of protein, 3g more carbs sugar is 4g less.

Any opinion on Quest bars? Or any others that are on the market

I like the Quest bars, and the Protein vs carbs seem to be better than most. They come in a ton of flavors, so I don't get sick of them too quickly. You can get them a bit cheaper on Amazon.< /p>

Quest bars! Quest bars! Yay! I love them! I just order two boxes from vitacost (chocolate chip cookie dough and cookie n cream) my favorites! They come 12 in a box. I also ordered the Syntrax Peanut Butter cookie Protein Powder off a recommendation from another B-pal. Since I haven't tried it yet I Can't give you my opinion but she says its like drinking melted peanut butter ice cream! I got both boxes of quest bars and the powder for 67 bucks! Free shipping and 10 dollars off because My total before the 10 off would have been 75! I LOVE that company. They have the best deals, and I get all my Vitamins from there. Anywho...That's probably more than you wanted to know but I just thought I'd share!@@phillyfan99

I also drink the ready made Premier Protein shakes. They are about as good as it gets, which isn't really saying much! :P

I have tried several different powders. None of them are great, but I'm not using it for the flavor, (I have to keep telling myself that!) I just buy unflavored/unsweetened powder and blend it with almond milk, keifer (liquid yogurt), Torani sugar free vanilla Syrup, PB2 (Peanut Butter powder) and ice. It actually makes a really good Protein shake. It doesn't really matter which powder you use for something like this because everything else covers the taste. It's is also a little labor intensive, which is why I also keep the Premier shakes around.

The Quest Protein Bars in chocolate chip cookie dough are my absolute FAVORITE flavor! I have tried 9 or 10 different flavors of their bars and I find most of them dry and grainy. The chocolate chip cookie dough isn't and really reminds me of the real thing. It still tastes like a Protein Bar, but by far the best Protein bar I have tried yet.

I'm with Elode and LOVE the quest bars and Syntrax Matrix shakes (PB cookie, mint cookie, choc, vanilla, even strawberry). Also like Syntha-6 esp the Mochaccino

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
