Protein bars
I use the Premier Protein bars from Costco....they are the only ones that I have found that I like. I know a lot of people really like the Quest bars and I have seen them at Nutrition House, Popeye's and GNC.

The race isn't given to the swift nor the strong, but it's given to the ones who endure it to the end...
Premier Protein Bars are yummy, but goodness, I find them big! I have to split them up. No way I can do that in one sitting.
The Oh Yeah Bars are delicious! Much smaller and taste great.
Either of those are readily available at Costco.

I am obsessed with Quest protein bars. They are expensive, but a study showed they are the healthiest.
I also like Simply protein bars. Also from Costco
Actually, I believe Quest is in a lawsuit situation right now regarding misinformation on their labels or something like that. Basically they are misrepresenting the nutrition in the bars.
Here is a link to one of the articles:

I'm not discounting them...just making sure people have all the facts.
Carbs are a bit high for my 1st choice especially for new RNY patients.
I prefer Zone Perfect but they are usually only found in the USA..my next go to are Pure Protein if I run out and have to buy them here.
