Protein bars - which do you prefer?

SMART - by Detour and at Costco. The box comes with Blueberry and Apple Cinnamon.

They are 38g and have 130 calories; 3g fiber; 4g sugar and 10g protein

They are soft and more like an oatmeal cookie then a protein bar. I don't like the chocolate flavours in a protein bar so I was happy to find this!! I only wish they came in lemon too.

Yum!

I second Bikinibounds choice I love these ones..I know they have less protein than other bars, but they are less heavy/dense..Since surgery I seem unable to handle anything in the chocolate variety( especially the premier protein bars..make me feel ill). I have not tried the Oh yeah bars though, because of the issue I seem to have with chocolate flavourings.

I liked the Pure Protein ones but I stick to peanut butter or chocolate as any of the other flavours (like the crunchy ones) really upset my stomach. Not dumping, but definitely the warning sign, haha ;) I also really like Simply Bars but they are crazy expensive.

Thank you all so much for the input!! I went to Popeye's and picked up the Apple pie (as I love apple pie) and a chocolate brownie. I also picked up a box of oure protein bars from Costco - on sale this week. I haven't tried them yet, but they will likely be returned.

Verdict? Apple pie is the shizz. Seriously, delicious. The chocolate brownie, disappointing, can't stand the chocolate taste.

Going back tomorrow to get a box of apple pie..... They have so many flavours, will be trying them all at some point lol.
