Need Protein Bar recommendation

My health conscious son is looking for a protein bar when he doesn't have time for breakfast. He doesn't want soy, high fructose core syrup or too much sugar. Anybody know a good bar for him? Thanks
 
My choice for the healthiest bar out there are Pure Bars and Lara Bars. They are mostly raw with no sugar, frutose, just natural ingred. I also like Vega Bars.

Have you heard of Jay Robb? His line of protein supplements and bars are amazing in taste and only sweetened with stevia, xylitol, or agave nectar. And the whey he produces is whey isolate which is the highest form of protein. His bars taste amazing and are completely natural and he calls them "no junk" bars, since there is no artificial junk whatsoever in them. At my gym, it's our best selling bar! My favorite is the JayBar Peanut Butter bar. The Cashew Coconut is delicious too!

I was just looking into soy free protein bars for my DD and they are so hard to find! Here are 2 brands that are soy free. I haven't ordered them online or found them in a store so I can't say what they taste like:

www.organicfoodbar.com

I'm going to check out the Jay Robb ones too. :)

I don't care for the Luna Bars myself. The taste doesn't appeal to me & the protein count usually isn't that high so it doesn't justify the calorie count.

Good luck~
 
Larabars have almost no protein in them. They are a mix of nuts and fruit only, which have very little protein.

My DH also doesn't want soy protein in a bar so I've scoured a lot of places looking for options. Our top vote goes to Jay Robb - we get them at whole foods.

Others we'll buy if they are out of JR (all at WF)...
Organic Food bars mentioned above. Tasty but not as high in protein and the sugar content is higher.
Greens Plus. Some are better than other. I like the Berry flavored one best.
Think Thin brand - the protein is a blend of soy and whey but the flavor and texture is very good. This brand also has sugar alcohol so be aware of that if it gives you digestive problems.
