Is there any ....
Hi Dee,
There are 4 brands that both my husband and I like, we like pretty much like all the flavors they come in. For bars we look for high protein & fiber with low sugar (we don't count sugar alcohols, but included it in case you do). I'm not sure if you're allergic to nuts or if you just can't eat them raw yet, so I'll list all 4 of our favorites but keep in mind that only the first one doesn't appear to contain nuts of any kind.

Thanks Maria, I guess I should try to avoid sugar alcohols, haven't really eaten anything with that in it, I think?? I should pay more attention. dumb question, but does sugar alcohols mean sugar free? I have seen pure protein at out local Kroger, but haven't tried any yet. gonna check them out. peanut carmel sounds soooo good!! Dee
Sugar alcohols are counted separate from sugar and are considered sugar substitutes. The reason that many people avoid them is because they can cause terrible gas and digestive distress depending on how much you eat. I do eat xylitol mints, but they only bother me if I eat several in a row. It's enough to keep me from trying anything with more sugar alcohol (they have .5 grams each).
