Protien Bars

Hi,
I'm not a big protien bar eater. A lot of times I'm too busy to eat something good for lunch or a snack so I was wondering which protien bars is good? I'm not too crazy about Designer's Whey because they have a funny sweet aftertaste in your mouth. The Labrada one tastes like vitamin-chalk. I don't like Powerbars, they're too chewy. I'm looking for something that tastes more natural and doesn't leave funny tasting sweet in your mouth like when you drink diet coke. I hate diet coke or any diet/fat free things that has nutrasweet in it or splenda or stevia. Any input would be appreciated!
 
I really like Pure Protein bars. I always buy Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter flavors. They have 20 grams of protein each. They sell them at health food stores and at grocery stores. In my opinion, they taste really yummy. I don't like Powerbars either.
 
Hi my all time favorite as of this moment is the Triple Delicious Bars. I like the peanutbutter & Jelly flavor. here is a link to it so you can read on the information. I think they have 2 other flavors. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/ssu/triple.html

I get them at my local Health Food Store but I should order online because they are so much cheaper:)
 
I'm going to have to recommend Trioplex bars!! They're excellent and don't have that nasty "chocolate" coating on them!! They're also whole grain--they've got oats or something in them that gives them an interesting texture. They're also really big--I've never tried to eat a whole one all at once! They sell them at just about any health food store or nutrition center. I've found the best deal on all of my protein products at jerseyjoe.com.:9
 
I'm not sure who initially recommended Jersey Joe, but they are a great company. :) I just received two boxes of Kong protein bars and they are pretty darn tasty.
 
I'm going to recommend Luna Bars by the Clif Company. They have soy in them, but they taste good. I like the lemon zest and the orange ones. They are sweet, but I don't think it's overly sweet. They have a crunch but they are not crazy chewy like powerbars. Now I don't do Diet Coke, so I can't really tell ya how the aftertaste is going to be, but give these a whirl. If that doesn't work for you, try the Zone bars. They're a bit sweeter, though.
 
that was probably me--i've tried to mention jerseyjoe's site as much as i can in my posts since i discovered it a few weeks ago!! i just want everyone to be able to take advantage of their great prices and huge selection!! i've ordered a lot from them!:7
 
Hi-

I agree with one of the other posters about the Trioplex bars.. I love these!! I really like the peanut butter banana, oatmeal raisin, and the peanut butter chocolate chip. They have about 330-350 calories/bar and somewhere between 30-35 gms of protein depending on which flavor.. plus 6 gms of fiber!

Also, I like Detour bars.. I think its NEXT proteins who makes those.
They taste kind of like a Snickers bar.. around 300 calories and 30 gms of protein per bar.

I love detour bars, too! They are so good:9 but I try not to eat them very often b/c they do have a significant amount of sugar. They also have One-Way and U-Turn bars which are basically the same bars, but different flavors.
 
AMEN! Trio-plex bars are fantastic. The fiber content is great (6 grams). The protein (33 grams) is great. They aren't the same old chocolate. They are soft (due to the oatmeal). They taste great! I love the peanut-butter chocolate chip and the one with raisins. I must admit to eating a LOT of these (about 3 per day). They are big and filling (358 cals) but 3 of these puppies equals 99 grams of my 110 gram goal for protein!

www.vitaglo.com has them for 19.95 per box of 12(free shipping if you order a minimum of $50 or something like that).

i really like Odwalla bars - most of them aren't necessarily protein bars but they have one that's Super Protein or something like that.

here's a description off their website: Super Protein
Protein Power to the People. Super Protein offers a superior source of dairy-free protein from soy and rice — 16 grams of it! This true bar of power also offers 18 amino acids, used by athletes to enhance performance. And with soy nut butter, Super Protein offers the smoothest texture experience around. Chew on that!

i like their company - plus feel good about eating their organic & good for you bars! :)
 
Hey Shonie!

Thanks for the link for Vitaglo.. 19.95 is a great price!!!

The other bonus about the Trio-plex bars is that they don't melt as badly in the heat.. I travel alot and I can stick those in my suitcase and they won't get all messy and sticky after sitting in my car or a plane tarmac for a few hours.

Have you ever microwaved one? They kind of taste like a warm cookie (well sort of) post nuking.

Take care, Lynn M.
 
Thanks for suggesting TriOPlex bars. I went on Friday to GNC to buy one or two and see if I liked them. I liked the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip. I plan on going back today to get a box, then I should look at the websites you all suggested and get them that way.
I think I like them so much because they are not coated in chocolate like almost all other bars are.

mmmmm...Tri-o-plex cookie....(said in Homer Simpson voice). I'll have to try the microwave tip! Thanks for the suggestion.

I ordered from JerseyJoe. How long does it take for them to send an e-mail saying the order has been shipped? I ordered MOnday and still don't have a comfirmation of shipment?

Thanks
Rhonda
 
I've never received an email from them saying that an order has been shipped, but it always only takes a couple of days to get my order. They say on their site that they send that confirm. email, but I don't think that they're set up to do that automatically. It also says on their site how long it should take to get your order, depending on where you live. Has anyone tried that new flavor of trioplex bars? I think it's cinnamon roll--I want to try them but haven't heard yet if they're any good!!:p
 
Hi Rhonda. I didn't receive an email informing me that my box had been shipped, but my order came pretty quickly via Fed Ex.
 
Hi Ashley --

I have tried the cinnamon roll flavor (already had 3 today) and they are my new favorite (used to be pnt butter chocolate chip). Those are the only 2 I really like.

Happy tri-o-plexing :)

How many of you substitute a protein bar for a meal every day? Is it good to that everyday? I do it when I have nothing to eat or just don't feel like anything.

Just curious
