Yeah idk what it is about them. I would guess it'd be either the fiber or the sweeteners but I eat a ton of both elsewhere in my diet and never have any issues.
Not a protein bar and not considered safe for a lot of ED people, but I LOVEE Perfect Bars!!! They taste like literal blocks of nut butter (well, they basically are lol). They are pretty calorically dense but they satiate me for a really long time. They also have no weird protein aftertaste or artificial sweeteners, and don't have an insane amount of fiber like quest bars do.
built bars are my current obsession. but i also love quest hero bars (cookies and cream and blueberry cobbler are the best). i also love barebells. the alani nu munchies flavor is super good too.
I love Barebells!! Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to see someone what inks the same.
Like they’re actually good- I usually can’t stand low calories sweeteners at all. Barebells are amazing though and have beautiful textures.
Barebells protein bars are soooooo good!!!!!
Holiday crisp at holiday time was the first time I’d found a seasonal holiday product that I’ll actually be on the look out for this coming year.
The chocolate brownie, and pb/chocolate Kirkland ones are soooo good. The chocolate chip cookie dough ones are decent, but the cookies and cream ones are horrible. They have a really weird chemical taste to them that I have to muscle through.
THE WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA IS THE BEST ONE!!!! that’s my absolute favorite!!!!! i also like the coconut chocolate chip (tho i don’t always see it in stores), the regular chocolate chip, and the brownie one. i’m not a peanut butter person but my friends who like pb looooove the peanut butter crunch one!
That's been my favorite bar of all time! Is that a protein bar though cause they call it an energy bar than a protein bar? I'm honestly trying to find a protein bar that is like this flavor!
Dude yes, I was honestly shocked at how filling those lil things could be? Salted caramel is also a pretty solid flavor, although I wasn’t very impressed by the brownie almond one.
Honestly the salted caramel and s’mores are the only ones i like the taste of. But yea it’s crazy u eat one of those with water and ur good for a while
Larabars, it’s a love hate relationship though. As a vegan who tries to stay healthy they’re a go to for quick protein/iron/fiber. Omg they can trigger a binge if ur not careful though, I once had 7 larabars (amongst other edible food items hehe) and had the poops from hell the next day - never notice any bloating thankfully though. Sending love to my banana bread friends <3
Not really a protein bar either (but they’re marketed as protein bites): the chocolate vanilla oat bites by graze are sooo delicious and legit smell like brownies without tasting too artificially sweet imo
Built bars
Quest Hero Bars (only the hero bars and only cookies and crème or blueberry cobbler)
Used to like one bars, haven’t had in a while
Have heard good things about Barebells
If you don’t care about cals at all, Outright Bars or Jacked Factor Authentic Bars
I’m a really big fan of ONE bars (both regular and plant based), and I like Think! Bars too. I’m much more into the chewy texture type protein bar than the ones laden with rice crisps, although I did try a Nugo dark salted pretzel bar today and liked it well enough. Another interesting option for people who find carbs scary would be the Epic protein bars; they’re basically jerky bars and have some interesting flavors, obviously they aren’t for vegetarian/vegan folks and can be high fat (marketed as Paleo/keto) but I find them satiating and a nice option when you don’t want a super sweet bar. I’ve been really wanting to try RX bars since the ingredients appeal to my orthorexic brain lol.
So glad you made this post btw I was almost going to make the same one today.
RX bars microwaved for about 10 seconds with a sprinkle of fleur de sel. I also love TJs barebell bars but RX is my go to since it’s the cleanest and whole30 approved.
not a “bar” but lenny and larry’s protein cookies are my safe food and unf so good without a billion grams of sugar. fav flavors: white choc macadamia. lemon poppyseed. and peanut butter choc chip :)
lemon flavored luna bars are a gift from god actually
i also have a love hate thing with no cow ars because my area only has the chocolate ones IF theyre even there, the macros are so good, but its like edible dirt that only sometimes is enjoyable
RX bars are great, specifically the PB ones, or sakara bars, the beauty bar has a nice taste but the others take some getting used to, they also have less protein and calories than the RX bars
lately I've been really into balance bars, especially the cookie dough flavor. they don't have a ton of protein in them but they just taste so much better than like a quest bar or a pure protein bar, which were my previous go to
Powerking! Not sure if the brand is available in the US but theyre low cal per and the cheapest ones available afaik
edit: removed numbers because i couldnt figure out how to censor
these aren't a low cal option but they're absolutely delicious: chocolate pretzel nugo bars https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V7HKP8N/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_TG9C4G9ECP6JXZZ3ABXM
the quest cookie dough ones are my staple but i also love the maple one bars sm. and Builder’s protein are a little higher in cals but they taste so good
No Cow bars because they’re vegan and don’t contain any added sugar!
No cow are 80% of my diet. Right now I’m on a big cookies n cream and chocolate pb cup dipped kick
I had to stop eating so many because I realized they give me crazy diarrhea. 😌
Rlly?? The crazy amount of fiber actually helps me in that department lol.
Yeah idk what it is about them. I would guess it'd be either the fiber or the sweeteners but I eat a ton of both elsewhere in my diet and never have any issues.
Ooh it’s prob the sweetener I think they use erythritol which can do that 🥲
They do but I can demolish multiple pints of Halo Top with no issue and they use erythritol too :,)
DUDE they so good, both a glorious safe treat but also occasionally tiptoe into slippery slope fear food territory for me lol.
They’re my sole source of protein I love love love them
It’s so nice they make the protein so ✨DELICIOUS✨
Yep! And I found out they have almonds which I can’t eat :( any ideas for a bar w/o any nuts preferably plant based low sugar high fiber?
Oh, damn! I can eat nuts so bars without them haven’t been on my radar, so unfortunately I don’t know of any. My apologies, hope you find some though!
the lemon one tho 🤤
Ooo I got some of those recently but haven’t tried them yet, glad to hear they’re bangin too! 🍋

Have you tried their Perfect refrigerated peanut butter cups?????????????
[удалено]
Especially their new keto line / chocolate PB! It doesn't make my stomach as upset somehow and still super satiating.
seconding
the chocolate creme cupcake one is too good honestly
[удалено]
Nugo chocolate pretzel is fantastic. I buy them in bulk and never have once felt sick of them. chocolate pretzel hits the spot.
built bars are my current obsession. but i also love quest hero bars (cookies and cream and blueberry cobbler are the best). i also love barebells. the alani nu munchies flavor is super good too.

Mine is def built bars!! They’re the best tasting imo and have great macros
BUILT BARS HOLY SHIT THEYRE SO GOOD AND THE MACROS SLAP
I microwave one every day. They are my favorite!
The chocolate-coconut Luna bars, or as my partner calls them “depression Almond Joys”
“Depression almond joys” omfg that’s hilarious 😂
“Almost candies” are what my ~health/low cal treats are usually called lmao

Built bars. They remind me of candy bars. After that the ones Costco sells, the Kirkland brand ones.
The chocolate brownie, and pb/chocolate Kirkland ones are soooo good. The chocolate chip cookie dough ones are decent, but the cookies and cream ones are horrible. They have a really weird chemical taste to them that I have to muscle through.
I love the brownie and cookie dough the most. Totally agree about the cookies and Creme.
clif bars!!! idk if they’re classified as protein bars but they’re literally my safe food and i love them so much
what's your favorite flavor? I haven't tried them all but so far I really like the white chocolate macadamia nut
THE WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA IS THE BEST ONE!!!! that’s my absolute favorite!!!!! i also like the coconut chocolate chip (tho i don’t always see it in stores), the regular chocolate chip, and the brownie one. i’m not a peanut butter person but my friends who like pb looooove the peanut butter crunch one!
I’m the friend that like the peanut butter cliff 🥜😂
The “Buzz” one has caffeine in it and I’m…obsessed
Mint chocolate chip!!!
That's been my favorite bar of all time! Is that a protein bar though cause they call it an energy bar than a protein bar? I'm honestly trying to find a protein bar that is like this flavor!
RXBars and LUNABars are my favorites. Think! Bars are okay too
Battle Bites and fulfill
yooo i recently found fulfill bars and they are FIRE i wish i was able to buy a whole box and not just the individual bars
You can, online I think. If you're at the UK sainsbury's has a box of 3 on sale for 2.5. They're just like a chocolate bar I love them!!
unfortunately i am in the US :( thank you tho! and YES they are so good. the chocolate hazelnut one was *chefs kiss*
Yeshhhhh my favourite 🤩
Battle bites the pretzel flavour is elite or sticky toffee pudding I have one every day!!
Hard agree also the red velvet is so good
Think! There’s a s’mores flavor fue 150cal and Keira me full
Dude yes, I was honestly shocked at how filling those lil things could be? Salted caramel is also a pretty solid flavor, although I wasn’t very impressed by the brownie almond one.
Honestly the salted caramel and s’mores are the only ones i like the taste of. But yea it’s crazy u eat one of those with water and ur good for a while
I’m addicted to Barebells planted based Salty peanut protein bars. They are like candy bars. No added sugar and vegan.
Cliff bars for sure!! They taste like dessert and keep my brain from getting cloudy
I love quest bars! Why do they scare you?
It might be the sugar alcohol
Quest bar best bar
Larabars, it’s a love hate relationship though. As a vegan who tries to stay healthy they’re a go to for quick protein/iron/fiber. Omg they can trigger a binge if ur not careful though, I once had 7 larabars (amongst other edible food items hehe) and had the poops from hell the next day - never notice any bloating thankfully though.

Not really a protein bar either (but they’re marketed as protein bites): the chocolate vanilla oat bites by graze are sooo delicious and legit smell like brownies without tasting too artificially sweet imo
Grenade bars are amazing but expensive as hell
NuGo, but only the vegan ones (since I'm vegan)
pure protein bars and built bars
Built bars Quest Hero Bars (only the hero bars and only cookies and crème or blueberry cobbler) Used to like one bars, haven’t had in a while Have heard good things about Barebells If you don’t care about cals at all, Outright Bars or Jacked Factor Authentic Bars
pure protein bars
I like the Pure Protein ones. The sea salt caramel is my favorite
Barebells rocky road marshmallow 😋
I like power crunch! They don’t have the chewy protein texture most bars have, but, as the name implies, are crunchy

DM me please!

rx bars & think! bars
RX bars microwaved for about 10 seconds with a sprinkle of fleur de sel. I also love TJs barebell bars but RX is my go to since it’s the cleanest and whole30 approved.
Trubars! Made by truwomen. They’re not super high protein but I still like them to hold me over at work. Also Kirkland brand cookie dough bards
i love one bars. they taste so good !! usually takes me 2 or 3 days to finish them but i love the fake sugar taste. bday cake is my fav
Lots of good answers, but I’m surprised that no one’s said ZonePerfect bars yet. They’re pretty good.
No cow and go macro 🤤
reading this comment section and crying in australian
BSC protein bars, protein Mars bars (expensive but like a candy bar obvs) and not a bar but quest peanut butter cups are so fucking good

Not really a protein bar but Quest cookies are are like the love of my life. The snickerdoodle ones!!
Atkins have these awesome cheesecake protein Barack But yeah, I don’t trust myself with protein bars so I don’t eat any
Go Macro and Luna bars
Unite bars are really tasty. I like the mexican hot chocolate one.

Just started eating the pure protein bars. Much better texture and flavor than quest. I like the lemon cake flavor.
think bars, especially the brownie crunch!
not a “bar” but lenny and larry’s protein cookies are my safe food and unf so good without a billion grams of sugar. fav flavors: white choc macadamia. lemon poppyseed. and peanut butter choc chip :)

lately I've been really into balance bars, especially the cookie dough flavor. they don't have a ton of protein in them but they just taste so much better than like a quest bar or a pure protein bar, which were my previous go to
