Anyone discover a delicious tasting Protein Bar with 30g Protein and under 220 calories..??

Can't look at shakes anymore and need something to bump up my protein some days. I know I can use unflavored powder but looking for an alternative and something a bit delicious.

I like the Think Thin Protein Bars. I think they only have 20g of protein but they taste like a treat and they’re low in sugar. I also like the Premier Protein bars.

From what I've seen the 30 gram bars are usually just higher in Protein because they are bigger. You can only cram so much into a small bar. I second the Think Thin bars, they have sugar alcohols instead of nasty stevia or sucralose, but don't eat them in excess because sugar alcohols can cause terrible gas and bloating.

Silly question. Do you know if there are any "soft" Protein bars? I have full dentures and things that are tough are just not worth eating. I do not even attempt. I did once and that was the last time. It actually hurt to chew it.

Have you tried the Think Thin? They are definitely softer than some of the others.

The Premier Protein bars have 30 grams of Protein in them but usually have around 280 calories, i think? They're huge though and keep me full for hours. Sometimes I can't even finish the whole thing in one sitting. I think they taste decently.

Ok so am going to answer my own question..

I don't mind Quest bars, I've been using them for years but am so sick of them.

So, I have taken one for the team and been testing. I have found a winner - ONE bars are 20g Protein, around 200-220 calories, have some fat and are delicious! The fat plus protein are really satisfying. The different flavors are great.

Go forth and try..

I bough ONE Protein Bars on amazon! Definitely the best tasting bars on the market!!

I love them! My favorite is the almond coconut! They are a little higher in carbs than I’d like but they taste like such a yummy treat!

And please Dear Lord, convince one of the companies not every post- bariatric patient can, want or desires Peanut Butter or chocolate in or slathered on top, I cannot tolerate on and badly allergic to the other, unless I go to Luna or even Fiber One , low calorie but also low Protein , in the regular WL aisles I get a fuzzy lollipop out of the deal, both of these are denture tolerant just not the best choices. And so infrequently if at all. And Protein Shakes, been on them since last August, most have lost their charm but my ulcers and stomal structure preclude solid Proteins pretty much. Promises are made within 6 weeks or so things will be back at everyone else's start of progression stages. We Shall See, won't we?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
