**admin** · 05-24-2005, 12:54 PM

What is the absolute BEST protein bar that you have ever tried? Reply and let us know what protein or energy bar is your favorite because of taste and nutritional content. Describe the taste, and tell us what flavors are the best.

Thanks for helping many others!

I'll start. I am still addicted to Next OneWay bars. I keep thinking that I will switch to something else for a change, but I can't do it. I have one every morning.

Thanks!

I just want to find a bar that can function as a meal replacement.

Everything on the market now is either full of sugar, or sugar-alcohols....

I want carbs.......it's just that I want good carbs!!

Really like the UTurn bars. A little thick, but good taste.

snickers

MHP, "Up your mass" bars.

Crunchy, and tasty, and not terrible ingredients. However they are probably the most expensive bars on the market, so there is that.

Of, course you could make your own too.

do the UTurn or OneWay bars have sugar alcohol in them?

Show Man · 05-24-2005, 03:40 PM

For me, it doesn't get any better then ABB's cookies & Cream Steel Bars. They taste so good, and the flavor is right on. Tastes just like cookies and cream. 16g of protein too. Sure, it has 22g of sugars, but I'm not looking for an overly nutritional bar. I want something better for you then a candy bar in-between a meal. The bars that are low in sugars suck IMO. I am all about the taste, and a decent amount of protein.

I bought 2 boxed of Labrada Lean Protein bars they were high in protein ( i forgot exact amount) but they tasted real good. The flavors I had were cookie crisp and caramel almond. Will probably buy again soon.

i LOVE the oneways too. i buy the small versions at walmart for 96 cents each (u can get the big ones online or at GNC or something.) anyways, the 1.5 oz oneway has:

CALS 170
FAT 6g (3 sat.)
CARB 15g (6 sugar)
PROT 15g

i didnt see any sugar alcohols in the ingredients, but one of the last ingredients is sucralose (splenda).

they taste so good though, better than a snicker to me.

I like detour bars. caramel peanut.

jupiterecho · 05-25-2005, 08:01 PM

I'm loving Cliff Builder peanut butter bars - yumm-o-la!

KellenDW · 05-25-2005, 09:46 PM

Clif Builder's bars really are the best way to go. They even carry them at Wal Mart for 1.58 each. All natural ingredients, no bad carbs. 8g fat, 20g protein, 30g carbs.

mach189 · 05-25-2005, 10:41 PM

ISS Oh Yeah! bars. Best tasting bar I have ever tried.

I've heard these are pretty great as well. I really like promax bars as well. Especially their cookies and cream and chocolate peanut butter crunch.

Cgb6810 · 05-26-2005, 03:36 PM

I just received my order of MHP Macrobolic protein bars. I bought a box of the smores and peanut caramel. Best tasting bars I've tried yet.

6 grams fat
38 grams carbs (only 3 from sugar)
21 grams protein

I've been looking for a protein bar that will serve as a meal replacement with little or no sugar.

IMO, these bars are very efficient in the nutrition department.
They have quality carbs and protein,and are excellent for meal replacement.
More protein then the MASS BARS but less price. Great taste.

protein--42g
carbs---37g
fat------8g
sugars--1g only!

TheBushidoUnit · 05-27-2005, 03:00 AM

rampage bars are probably the best i've had its at 27 g protein.the next bonanza's are pretty good too especially peanut butter.pure protein peanut butter chocolate are pretty good too.worst bar i've ever had was a meso tech rocky road or something it sucked wind made me gag.

100%drugfree · 05-27-2005, 05:58 AM

I like the OhYeah bars...........but overall is the Solid Protein bars by Nature's Best..........I don't even know if they still make them...............Also ABB Steel Rivets are good.............

MartialMuscle · 05-27-2005, 04:58 PM

I am a big fan and user of Protein Bars since I'm always on the go. Labrada makes great bars I like his carb watchers, and his new Cookie Protein Bars are great, I like the oatmeal peanut butter choc. chip flavor. Up your mass are good too. Oh Yeah bars by ISS are great if you crave that candy bar taste but want some good protein too. The Protein 40 bars are good because they have 40 grams of protein. Scit-fit's Truth bars are really satisfying the Absolutley coconuts flavor tastes like a Payday. Protein Bars overall are getting better and getter in taste as companies are trying to out do each other.

M.Bison · 05-27-2005, 05:07 PM

i use power bar protien plus chocolate

never used anything else

Right you are! They are amazing. Tastes as good as any candy bar I've ever had, well besides a butterfinger. I just tried one at my gym the other night for the first time and am now addicted. I've had one every night that I've worked out since. I GOTTA order in bulk.

Testosterone97 · 05-31-2005, 01:16 PM

The KONG bars are awesome. Theyve got so much in them and i get them for a decent price, just as much as the other ones which lack some good carbs and calories.

RandyRandy · 05-31-2005, 01:41 PM

Yea the KONG bars are good and i used to use those, but i just started to use the Labrada Cookie bars and thoses are best by far. Especially when you put them in the microwave.

Looks pretty good. I'll try a box.

Sam H. · 06-01-2005, 03:02 PM

U-Turns are good but expensive, Promax are a good value for the $$

El_Animal · 06-01-2005, 08:57 PM

I used to be a big fan of Detours and Kongs but then I started leaning away from the high calorie/sugar bars. Since then I've really like Nitro-Tech bars. The chocolate peanutbutter deilights taste absolutely awesome and they only have like 2g of sugar. I'm yet to find a better suited bar for me.
