I am a protein bar aficionado for sure! They are not a chore for me to eat as I enjoy them! There are the 'crispy granola' types usually made from soy nuggets. In this category, my favorites are Atkins Morning start breakfast chocolate chip bar. It's a tiny thin w/ 13 grams of protein. I also enjoy their regular size crispy types of bar which also come in the chocolate chip. Those have 17 grams of protein. Atkins bars are good because they don't have sugar alcohols. But...by far my favorite and most often used bar you can get at Walmart in a box of 5 for $4 something or individually. Our CVS sells them too, but not by the box. But, every few weeks they have a buy one get one free deal. It's made by Pure Protein and is quite small. It's chocolate outside with chewy center. I love the chocolate peanut butter and the chewy cookie dough ones best. I go through a couple of boxes a week. Do give these a try. These are great because they are quite small, are dense like some of the chewy ones and have 20 grams of protien. You can also get the large size version at GNC and they have 32 grams of protein. I have tried the PowerCrunch cookies and cream and it was good...wafer texture. Ones I hate: EAS AdvantEdge bars...too much sugar alcohols, the same goes for the South Beach Diet bars.

Living in Beautiful Sunnyvale California, via Arkansas (Go Hogs) via Washington State, via born and raised in Oregon.. What a journey..
Rockin' Roll nutty peanut, I think it's called. Lil bit smaller bar, I think 2g carb, 2? g protein. Tastes precisely like a PayDay
I cut the bar in half, slide it back into the sleeve and put it in a ziploc bag and eat half when I can't decide what to eat or if something is calling my name and I shouldn't answer.
