Protein Bars

Hi everyone, just wondering if any of you know of some good protein bars that is high in protein and low in sugar. I want some that taste fairly good. I need them to help with my sugar and keeping me more on a even level during the day. I seem to not keep enough protein in my body that my doc wants me to eat them inbetween meals as snacks. It can be drinks as well. I have tried Kat drinks but do not like anything dealing with coffee. Any help is appreaciated. I am also having dizzy problems so that is alot of fun. Can not go up or down ladders now and that is going to be a problem at my job. If anyone has any ideas as to how to stop this and be able to go back to what I was doing would be great. I amit I have not had the surgery but was hoping that if any of you could help me with this I would be greatful. As some of you know I was turned down for it but that is ok. I am making it so far and my weight is going from 195 to 219 back and forth. I will be glad when I get out of school so that I can get a new and better job. Glad to see everyone getting on the losing side and am proud reading all of yours posts and will help you if I can. I will keep everyone in my prayers.

http://www.ishophere.biz is a wonderful site that has great protein bars and some with no sugar at all! I use these and love them..... they also have protein pretzels which are low in everything and delicious - have a look at the website and if you have any questions just drop me a line........ I hope you can get approval for this wonderful surgery in the future..... Jackie

Thank you Jackie. I have looked at it a little but will look again been busy with school and my grandson being sick that there is not alot of time. I hope to try again soon.

Try the Quaker Oats Q Smart Bars-they are 10 grams of protein, very low in sugar and carbs, and best of all they taste good! you can find them at any grocery store or Target, Walmart etc..A lot cheaper than the typical protein bars Good luck Debbie

Thanks Debbie, I will try over the weekend. Got to go shopping tomorrow so I will look then.

There are a lot of protein bars out there, some rather tasty and some that taste like death warmed over....and if I did find one I really liked, it was only around for a year or so until it was phased out. I still see the Detour bars for sale occassionally, but I ended up making my own, homemade hi protein lo sugar meal replacement bars. It's a variation on Logan Bread, a hikers bread from back in the sixties, but it's been tweaked quite a bit. The recipe is in my profile...and the good thing is you can substitute, tweak, change it to fit your needs. It is a bit dryer than a moist bar cookie, but not too bread like. Give it a look see, and see if it might fit your needs. I still use it nearly 3 years out...because I like the changeability of it. Good luck!

Thank you and you have a nice profile. I am going to look at it again and get the recipe.

Thank you Pat. How much will it cost to get some sample so that I can try them. Let me know.

Hello! Pre-op I tried the Power Crunch bars (I think there is an ad below). They tasted really good to me then and I'm sure they are high protein/low sugar since they are designed for us post-ops. Maybe give those a try....several places online sell them...not sure about "real" retailers. Christina S

Thank you, Christina. How are you doing? I am trying different ones to see which I will like and stay eating them.
