Healthy protein bar besides quest

[amarula]

I'm looking for alternatives. Any other options?

 

[Driven2lift]

Because you dislike something about Quest or just price-point?

BPX is similar and more affordable

Not always easy to buy quest in my country and getting from US is sometimes expensive

I hear you. Only a few stores carry them here and they are $3/ bar

would much rather make my own bar, or protein balls..
easy to make, put your own ingredients together at your pleasure, healthier for you, no hidden ingredients or nasty sugar alcohols, and tastes better too .. store in fridge, take with you in Tupperware container..

This man knows the way.

Anything you can make yourself you should. There are a lot of simple no-bake protein bar/ball recipes around

Oh Yeah Victory Bars, VPX Life Lift Bars, and ANSI Gourmet Cheesecake Bars.

 

[digitalducki]

The vpx bars have a similar profile from what I remember but a smoother texture

That's pretty dead on. The 3 I posted above all have similar profile. I'm probably forgetting a couple.

I can't fathom why rise bars aren't catching on more. The vanilla almond has 3 ingredients, the carob has 5. Both taste awesome.

 

[Johnston]

Anyone here made their own with good results?

 

[wasme]

I do have some Quest and Victory bars for those times. But I try not to use bars unless home made.

 

[ion26]

Get VPX. Oh Yeah Victory and ANSI are disgusting.

 

[omtz1616]

Life lifts by vpx definitely.

Yep... Knew I forgot at least. I remember you talking about them elsewhere an that's where I took notice.

Just looked them up. Bar looks small. It's 260 calories for 15g of protein and 13g of fat. I do like that it is higher in carbs, but those macros suck...

Vanilla almond has 20g of protein but is 280 calories, 16g of fat...no thanks

Fat coming from almonds. And it's only 3 ingredients. I know many aren't health conscious outside of daily macro's, but these are a great choice.

They looks tasty tbh. I may pick up a couple just to try.

Rise bars has 2 new ones coming out. One lemon flavored and another... Both super tasty! As far as the original ones 3 ingredients (honey, almonds, WPI) no labeling issues... These are pretty top notch IMO. And ANSI cheesecake bars are stupid tasty

nice post
too many ppl look simply to macros, without paying attention to the micros of those micros

They taste horrible. I only ate the whole thing BC I felt bad wasting 3 dollars on it lol

 

[RecompMan]

You guys should look into


Dales raw protein bars

They are vegan, but just look at the ingredient profile.

I wasted the 3 bucks bc the taste was bad

Hard to compete with Quest if you're looking for similar macros. I just wait fir a sale and buy it then, I don't use protein bars often at the moment anyways

$36 for a box of 12 is steep. Calories/fats too high for bars IMO.

They run buy one box get one free every so often which makes it cheaper then quest, and healthier great ingredient profile.

Nothing wrong with fats bro

I agree but 16g for just 1 bar! I only take in about 40-60g of fats a day.

Is there a reason I should?

 

[T-Bone]

Well, you did use them....

 

[Driven2lift]

[amarula]

Don't know about Krave but those Chef Irvine bars are outta this world. Best I've ever had.

 

[Whacked]

Boom! Amen

Are these quest bars any good then? Trying to lean up but combatting my sweet tooth is a real issue but im not going too bad, but thinking to get some of these when a craving strikes?

 

[ma70]

Chef Irvine bars are awesome. I've only tried Cookies and Cream (cause that's the flavor I always prefer anyway) and they're awesome and fill you up pretty welll. I'm going to try Krave bars soon.

They are fantastic, by far my favourite. It should do a better job at satiating hunger due ti all the fibre and lack of sugars.
At the same time it tastes so good you will want more than 1 every time so only pack one lol

You will lean up with a caloric deficit,
Any bar would work as long as you fit it into your calories.
Quest is a good choice.

Dude..you have no idea. You will not think you're eating a protein bar. Trust me! It's worth its weight in gold.
