Trying to find a good protein bar, I'm laughing at myself as I'm trying this. I like to have them with me in case I'm running out of the house unexpectedly on a call or my shift gets extended.
I've been eating Robert Irvine's Fortifx Fit Crunch bars because of the 30g of protein but recently learning about the sugar alcohols (it contains 16g!). Ashley Horner is pushing Condition One bars but those also seem high in sugar plus low on protein.
Head is spinning. I know bars aren't the best but if I need to eat one, I want the best quality out there.
If anyone knows of any good ones, please let me know. Thanks and stay safe!

Labdoor is pretty reliable and thorough.
I personally use Quest and Vega.

I like the Caffeine and Kilos coffee/chocolate bars. They are fairly low in protein though (I think only about 8 g). Plus side is they are pretty healthy and have some caffeine to keep you going. I eat them at work when I am extended as well, though not specifically for the protein content.

I use the Pure Protein bars, they don't taste bad and have roughly 21g of protein.

These are essentially Costco Quest Bars at around 1 dollar apiece.

I have seen theses at Costco, how do they taste? I've never had Quest bars.

I like Quest bars from a quality standpoint...taste-wise meh. The double chocolate chunk is fairly tasty though.
Re: Protein Bars: the good, bad, & ugly...
I usually do quest bars but recently discovered optibar is also pretty comparable. In my opinion they taste much much better than quest.

double chocolate chunk is probably the best. They are all very dense bars, I wouldn't eat one without a drink near by.DocOctagon wrote:I like Quest bars from a quality standpoint...taste-wise meh. The double chocolate chunk is fairly tasty though.
