Protein bars

 Any protein bars that people would recommend? Lower in calories and higher in protein of course! :)

I like the Pro Crunch choc. Peanut butter. from GNC
30 G Protein, 370 calories, 5 g fiber, 5 g sugar, 12g net carb.

I love Quest Bars...expensive though. They have 20 grams protein for 170-200 calories per bar. Lots of fiber too! 

When I'm broke I eat Pure Protein.  20 grams protein, low sugar and 200 calories.  I can get those for about a dollar a bar at Target. 

Pure Protein they are usually $1. They also have one called Revolution. They have 20 grams of protein.

My favorite is Quest Chocolate Brownie (12 bars for $24.99, 170 calories, 20 grams protein). You can buy these at some health food stores and online at: http://www.questproteinbar.com/

 

For a lower cost alternative: Life Choice Peanut Butter Extreme High Protein Bar, (5 bars for $3.68, 210 calories, 21 grams protein). These are at Walmart.

I bake my own

Chocolate Pumpkin Protein Bars Recipe
Makes 8 Bars
 

1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup protein powder
2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate peanut butter OR 1/2 cup peanut butter + 1 T cocoa powder
1/4 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup sugar (i thinks its healthier than Splenda or artificial)
2 Tablespoons pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
3 Tablespoons prunes, chopped
 

Preheat oven to 350˚ and coat a 9″ x 12″ pan (or whatever you’ve got) with cooking spray. Combine first five ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl, mix agave, pumpkin, and sugar. Stir in peanut butter and mix well.

Add wet to dry and stir until well combined.
Stir in chopped prunes and pumpkin seeds. Evenly press batter into pan. This will require a bit of work; as the batter is on the dry side, you’ll have to redistribute it so the bars will cook evenly.
Bake for 15 minutes and NO LONGER. Trust me, they’re done! Allow to cool, then cut into 8 bars. Enjoy!

I like to know whats in what I eat

About 210 Calories 3.5g Sugar  0 Fat  18g Protein

I figured after buying all the ingredients I can make roughly 14-15 batches 120 bars
roughly dived by shopping cost its 13 cents per bar, in one day i make enough for the week and I wrap them individually in plastic wrap
 

Thanks so much!!! what would be a substitution to prunes? :)

yes... chopped apples, or even apricots just careful with sugar content of the sunmaid stuff but ive tried many diffrent things prunes are the best and they tatse like raisins in bar.. wait prune is a raisin lol

There are Power Crunch Bars At walmart they have 200 calories 110 fat calories . 15 grams of protein and 10 grams of carbs they come in chocolate PB and vanilla I love them and they are the only ones I dont get sick from and they keep me full for hours! You can get them from Gnc and drug mart and Cvs as well

I vote for Pure Protein at Walmart.  Less than $1 when you buy the 6-pack.  Most are 180 calories 20 g protein.
