Protein bars?

Hello...

Has anyone found a protein bar that isn't loaded with carbs and sugar?  I'm diabetic, and I'm not terribly fond of protein shakes.

 

Thanks...

 

Dave

There are two that I really enjoy (high protein, low carb, low calorie)

Quest Bars and OH Yeah Victory bars (not to be confused with the chocolate Oh Yeah bars that look like Oh Henry's)

Both can be purchased at Popeye's... I wait for the sales and stock up.

Oh yeahs are very good, I use the Costco bought ones called premier protein.

I buy Quest or Pure Protein bars (the ones at Costco mostly). I've also discovered recently Simply Protein. Their product line is delicious but expensive.

Thanks for the tips everyone.  I went to the local GNC, and they certainly don't give them away (no Popeyes or Costco up here).  I bought a bunch of different types of Quest Bars, and I'll try those out.  I'm thinking of using them as my mid morning and mid afternoon snack, eating half a bar at each snack time.  Anyone eat a whole bar at one time?  I'm thinking it might be too much.

Pure Protein bars are my favorite. They're cheap (ubder $7 for 6 bars) and you can get them at Walmart or Target. I like the Peanut butter chocolate flavor.......and my all time FAVORITE is the Double Chocolate Vanilla Crunch....but I avoid ALL the chocolate flavored ones that are only chocolate or double chocolate whatever....I hate those ones, lol

I usually load up on protein bars when I go to the USA as we don't have Costco etc in Thunder Bay

 

I love Zone Perfect

Luna bars also and now have found a new one called (Kind), it has 5 g sugar 16g carbs and 200 calories in total...some may say that's higher than it should be, but I usually have (1) protein bar for my mid-morning snack to keep myself out of the coffee room goodies.

 

You could always find a energy bar recipie and tweak it to take into consideration your sugar intake and likes.

 

 

prior to surgery 323lbs....4 years post-op maintaining between 108- 114 lb loss. 

life is AMAZING when you continue on the right path~!.  Use your surgeons gift to the fullest~!
