I am trying different protein bars. Powerbar- citrus is good.

BUT I had a south beach peanut butter meal bar last night. Big mistake! It has 11 grams of  sugar alcohols, 6 grams of sugar-  guess what?  major dumping this AM.

What do you like that agrees with you?

These are my favorites.......they have a pretty good calorie/protein ratio  www6.netrition.com/genisoy_low_carb_bars_page.html

www.healthsmartfoods.com/index.php   These are pretty good too, but a bit of a protein aftertaste too!


www6.netrition.com/universal_lowcarb_bar_page.html    I like these too, but I find they have more of a protein-y aftertaste than the genisoy bars.

Good luck finding one you like!

I like either Atkins chocolate carmel or south beach high protein cereal bars; either peanut butter or the chocolate ones.  I cut out a bunch of coupons in the newspaper today for different ones so I may have a new favorite soon...lol

I don't like most protein bars because they are so sweet.

Also, I don't have issues with sugars alcohols - so the south beach cinnamon/raisin is a good one for me - the also make 2 different peanut butter ones - the 100 cal one I like - I don't know if that's the one that gave you problems last night.

Balance -100 cal bars I like, especially the pb one.

I bought some carbolite recently and have tried 1 so far....it's "OK"......

I need to experiment at making some.

Hi Emily, I like the atkins chocolate chip granola bar...it's high protein low sugar.  It's almost like eating a real granola bar to me at least.
Good luck

Hi,

Nice to see you posting on the board!

I may have to recant not liking atkins bars and give this a try - do you get them in a grocery store? I've never stumbled upon their granola bars before.

Hi, You can find them at walmart...they are called Atkins Advantage and you can find them near the protein shakes and diet stuff near the pharmacy section...at least that's where I find them in Rockland.  I only like the chocolate chip..I don't like the peanut butter ones at all.  There is an apple cinnamon breakfast bar that is pretty good too.
