Protein Bars

[high-octane]

There's quite a few on the market and I'm looking at getting some but don't want to waste money on some nasty tasting unedible bar. I was checking out musclepharm combat bar, quest bars, nitro-tech crunch bar and ON cake bites. Which brand and flavor do you like and what should I stay away from?

Cookies and cream quest bars are hands down #1 but they're like $2.50 at publix, I usually just get the met-rx big 100.

Cookies and crime Promax bar wins it for me.
I used to eat like 3 a day fucking love these things

They are delicious, the mint chocolate and the peanut butter ones are pretty great too. Macros are like 20 protein 30 carb and 8 fat so not too terrible for a snack if im in a rush.

I would rather eat real food.
1 whole wheat tortilla
2 tbls organic peanut butter
1/2 banana
2 Tbls hemp seeds

This is my go to snack.
Great pre or post workout.
I toast them golden brown on the outside
And nice a warm a melty in the inside.
$ 1.00
Cal - 450
Pro - 22g
Sat Fat - 4g
Sugar - 9g

I'm with you, real grub all the way. If I have to I reach for a quest bar or maybe a metrx 100.

I like to stay with real food or a shake if possible but when I get a sweet tooth I resort to a protein bar and these are at Walmart and cheap too. Like 7$ for 6 of em.

Thanks for the replys. I'm only asking because when I'm working 16hr days I don't have time to make food or a shake. Need something I can snack on quick.

As @Morefyah said, whole foods are best. Last year, i did get a little side tracked, more for convenience with Lenny & larrys complete cookies. Advertised as 16g/protein per cookie, however, it was revealed in an article earlier this year, 3rd party testing revealed somewhere around 9 grams...good cookies but im done with them.

Protein cookies!! Easy to make, very basic ingredients, super cost effective, ready in less than 30 mins & plenty of recipes on youtube. I make them in bulk ( abt a wks worth), take 2-3/day with me to work..
Give it a shot!

I'll second the pure protein, good macros and the chocolate coconut is very good. Also the Think bars, low GI, 20 grams of protein and under 200 calories.

my all time supreme nutrition german chocolate cake. best tasting bar since the original snickers and milkyway detour bars.
too much sugar, processed blah blah blah, tastes good as shit. 30 gms of protein

 

[Ironlord]

Optimum nutrition has cake bites. Birthday cake, red velvet and chocolate covered cherry... 3 in a pack and I think 20g protein... Google that shit... They look de-lish..

Dunno about the ON brand but some of that shit has a ton of sugar.

Cliff Builder Bars are good. Second the mint chocolate chip. Taste like thinmints.

 

[MisterSuperGod]

Met-Rx Protein Plus bars.
Eating one of the peanut butter cup ones right now.

Delicious (to me) but the sugar alcohols in it will have me crop dusting with mustard gas for a few hours.

@Bradly -- I agree the Supreme bars are just about the best Ive tried , and 30 grams of protein is HUGE ...these are really good.... The PB&J is unbelieveable .
