Just wanted to share.
Some people don't like protein bars because of the carbs, but there are definitely some lower carb choices in bars out there for a special treat.
I haven't tried yours -- no Sam's Club close to me -- but my favorite is the Pure Protein line, especially the chocolate and chocolate/peanut butter. Apparently they have shakes and other things too, but I haven't noticed them in the stores. (www.eatgoodlookgreat.com) I buy a six-pack at Wal-Mart for $6.27, which is within pennies per bar of the Costco price.
Here's the nutritional info for the chocolate/peanut butter:
(One of these days I'll learn how to cut and paste the pretty box so it looks better.)
