help with protein bars
I am having a hard time finding protein bars out their that are high in protein and low in sugar.I keep hearing they are out there but i just can't find any...If anyone has a bar to suggest i would really appreciate the name or names...I live in canada but do get to MIchigan a couple of times a week..I find my protein drinks get warm by the time i go to drink them where a bar could be in my glovecompartment ready to go if i end up staying out past a meal time..I have lost 53 pounds in the eight weeks since surgery .
They're not exactly protein bars, but the new South Beach Diet cereal bars are fairly high in protein (I think it's like 14g) and low in sugar. Slim-fast also makes a breakfast bar for low carb diets, they have like 15g of protein and are also low in sugar. I tried a
I also order Power Crunch bars from Bariatric Eating (there is usually a link to the site in the ads on this page) and they're heavenly, but higher calorie so I usually only eat half at a time. The peanut butter is kinda like Reeses Sticks, they all have a sugar-wafter type consistency. I like all the varieties.
Congrats on your loss!!

Quaker makes a snack bar called "Q-Smart". There are two flavors: Cranberry Almond and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip. They have 120 cal, 6g fat, 9g carbs, 1 sugar, 5 sugar alcohol and 10 protein. I also like the ones from South Beach, but they have 7 sugars. Congratulations on the weight loss, way to go.

Hi Cheryl,
I just wanted to say thank you. I have not been able to handle protien drinks or bars since 2 wks post-op. Thanks to your reply to somone elses message, I tried Q-Smart. I must say I agree, they are wonderful. I also bought some sout beach ones, but haven't had a chance to try them yet.
Thanks so much,
Billie
I eat Odyssey bars (I hear you can find them at Wal-Mart, I know you can find them at Trader Joe's; or you can order them through bariatriceating.com). They're 30g protein, the "sugar alcohol" is maltitol (I have to eat it very slowly, over a couple of hours, or else I get nauseous), and they taste great (I love the chocolate peanut butter bars)
