Looking for a good Protein Bar that is high in Protein and low in sugar. Any ideas?

Also low in carbs. As I'm looking online, I'm not finding much. Starting to think Protein Bars aren't going to be the best thing to eat

I like the RXBar...they're dense, but they don't have the awful chalky taste of many that I've tried. They usually have 12 to 14 grams of protien per bar.

It really depends on your needs. If you are very active in the gym, want to maintain or add muscle, keep your hair, and have strong nails; you need a Protein bar that is 100% whey protein. Depending on how hard you hit the gym, you may want to keep the carbs in the protein bar. Insulin promotes protein synthesis. Whey protein has the highest bio-availability. If you are vegan; soy, pea, and hemp protein are probably going to be your primary protein source. They will work, but you will only get about half of that in bio-availability.

All that being said, if you find a perfect mix of carbs and protein, they don't mean a thing if they taste like crap. So the best protein bar is the one that you will actually eat.

I'm not saying it's the best because you may not like it after trying it but I bought the Special K ones. chocolate and Peanut Butter. I eat those but only less than half usually because they make me full fast.... And there's 20 something grams of carbs in it so if you're watching your carbs, I wouldn't try to eat the whole thing in the same day.

Quest bar for sure. I love those. 20g of Protein and only 4 carbs.

I usually get mine from iHerb

I like Oh Yeah birthday cake!! Low in sugar and moderate Protein ...I also have Atkins bars too.

I really got sick of Protein Shakes and bars fast, but discovered a wafer type "protein crunch", they taste good! There is more fat than most, but I will eat them...

Look at the post I quoted ☺️

Quest is tasty, but the absolute best one that I've found is Supreme Protein. It really tastes like a candy bar and 30g of protein!!

I just tried a half of a Quest bar tonight. So good! Something different than a protien shake to meet protien requirements!!

Mine I tried is 170 cal and 20 g protien and low net carbs. Half is all I need for a snack. So good!!
