Protein Bars???

Hi!  I just had the lap band a week ago today and I'm just starting my pureed foods.  I have started looking forward and planning for when I can start eating solid foods.   My question is which protein bars are the best in nutrition, taste, and just overall pleasing?  My surgeon has told me if I am to eat protein bars they need to have at least 20 grams of protein. 

Thank you!

It's hard to say which are best in taste cuz everyone has different things that please them.

You might go to a store that carries lots of different kinds and buy a few varieties to sample.

I like the Supreme Protein brand, but I get the carb conscious, snack size bars.   I don't remember the nutrional facts.. and don't have one in front of me to check, but you can look them up on Netrition.com

Have fun.

I like pure protein bars but not all are created equal.  Some have 20grms of protein and are tolerable to most people.

My two favorites are Pure Protein, Peanut Butter Chocolate and Supreme Protein, Peanut butter Chocolate.

They both come in two sizes so look for the ones that have around 190-200 calories. 

The Pure Protein was my "go to" bar becuase it has the highest protein, relative low calorie, lowest sugar and carbs than any other I could find.  I think they taste pretty good.  These are dense and once I had restriction 1/2 a bar was enough for a snack.  A whole bar with my morning NF latte is a meal.

The Supreme Protein taste amazing!  Almost too good.  I save those for special treats because the stats aren't as good as the Pure Protein bars but they aren't bad compared to others.

Best~

I agree with Lisa.  The Supreme Protein are the best, and I've tried lots of different kinds.

I don't eat the bars or drink the shakes much anymore but I always keep some on hand. These are the two brands that I prefer.

I forgot about the ISS "Oh Yeah" bars.  They're excellent in taste too.   I try to get the "good grab" size as the larger ones are too many calories for me.. they're meant to be meal replacement.. well, if I eat one that size, it doesn't feel like a meal to me and I'd want something else ALONG with it.  Haha.

So, I stay with the little ones.

Lisa O ~ I agree on the supreme protein.. almost too good.  I cut them in half and have for my bedtime snack.  It satisfies my desire for something sweet, yet has enough protein to keep me from being too hungry over night.  

Pure protein might have better stats.. I haven't compared... I don't want to know.. LOL.  

Lisa have u tried the Oh Yeah protein waffers? Awesome taste! I love the Oh Yeah products.

Yes I have.  I have one sitting in the kitchen right now aamof.   Gonna make myself use up the Pure Protein bars first.. LOL.. I don't like them near as well as supreme or Oh Yeah.

I would just caution you that for some of us---ME--they are too much like a candy bar.  I just can't do sugar except in a natural state like fresh fruits.  When I tried them I found myself wanting to eat them instead of lean protein, veggies and fruit.  Best wishes on your journey---Harmony
