Protein Bars

Hi Gina,

I am a personal wellness coach - we have protein bars that not only have the appropriate ratio of protein to carbohydrates that you need for not just a quick pick me up but also sustained energy and focus but they taste great!! Most of the protein bars you can buy in the stores have WAY too many carbohydrates. I have to hide them from my kids or I don't get any! If you would like more information feel free to contact me at ###-###-#### or ____@____.com.

My husband is an amateur athlete and we have tried them all!
Our favorite is the Clif bars. They have yummy flavors and they are chewy like an oatmeal cookie, not crispy hard like Zone or hard to chew like Power Bars. They also have all-natural ingredients. We order them online in bulk.

I eat many different protein bars (lower carb and sugars are the best), but my favorite protein supplement is a drink - musclemilk lite chocolate flavored - my kids love them too. I drink one for my breakfast (did so thorughout pregnancies) and have them with us at all times just incase we are missing a meal or the kids lapse into a hungry crunch. I also like EAS lo carb drinks too. You can buy them at Costco which is handy for me just to load up on boxes of them.

Bottom line if they taste too yummy then they are probably no better than a candy bar so be sure to check labels for too much sugar and carbs and fat.

I like the ZONE bars. I don't eat them everyday either but have them in my desk at work for pick-me-ups or after going to the gym in the morning. I like the Chocolate Mint ones, kinda hits me right when I have a chocolate craving too!

zone bars or myoplex chocolate caramel crisp.

I love Luna bars and have one with me nearly all the time - just in case. :)

I was looking for a way to get more protein in the mornings, and I tried several different bars. Some of the bars targeted for weightlifters had many ingredients I didn't necessarily need, and some even made me feel weird. The one I found that tastes good and doesn't have a bunch of stuff I don't want are actually South Beach breakfast bars. They have like 10g of protein. You can find them at any grocery store.

I like the "Zone" bars--chocolate mint is my favorite; also like fudge graham. You can get them in boxes of 5 at Walmart. Sams Club had them the last time I was there, I believe it was a 3-pack of the boxes of 5, but your flavor choices are limited.

I LOVE the South Beach Diet High Protein Cereal Bars. There have been times I practically lived on them. My favorites are peanut butter, cranberry almond, and chocolate. Yum!!!

Snickers Marathon Bars from Sam's Club are good....good protein and fiber with lots of nutrients and vitamins too.

Special K Protein Bars are yummy - I love the chocolate peanut butter ones.

If you're a member of Costco, I would highly recommend the Sunrise Energy bars. They come in a big round container, and are small enough to give to children. They are not individually wrapped, but one container is usually good for a month they are inexpensive.

And, they taste great! High in protein and omega three's, they are all-natural (serisouly--read the label...no HFCS or anything like that at all), they've got whole grains, milled flax, dried fruit, and more. I feel great about giving these to my kids, and I love to grab one on the go.
