I on and off keep a protein bar in my bag in case of sudden hunger surges.
I buy Detour Bar by Designer Whey, 24 bars for $20. I was wondering is there a protein bar that can compare to their taste value and price range?

Thank you.

For the very occasional urge I like the Marathon bars. 99 cents a bar for the 21gram protein version 149 for the 28 gram.

I love the MetRX 'Big 100' Bars. They are a little more expensive (~$4 in a conv. store) or ~$1.75 at Safeway.


27g protein, they taste great, and are sort of filling in a pinch.

Not something that I would try to eat on a regular basis, but if you ~have~ to, they are pretty good. I haven't tried the Detour bar so I don't know how they compare though.

VPX Zero Impact Pumpkin is by far the best tasting bar I've ever tried.

A bar that hardly gets any press that also tastes great is the Karma bars by Met-RX.

Pure Protein bars are the best bars I have ever personally tried (Strawberry Shortcake and Country Blueberry Pie are my favorites.) The nutrional profile is solid aswell.

I placed an order from Nutra yesterday for some protein and such and I wanted to get some VPX Zero Impact Pumpkin Bars (I fcking love Pumpkin Pie) and forgot to order them! Now I gotta wait until I place my next order to try one! aggrivating as hell. Nothing but good feedback about the VPX bars aswell though.

Am I correct that Pure Protein has hydrolyzed gelatin as part of their protein blend?

Here's the rundown on a Karma Bar:

A little more sugar than I'd prefer, relatively speaking, but not bad compared to a lot of stuff out there. I'll keep my eyes peeled for these. Thanks VS

Best bar I've ever tried is Supreme Protein by Prosource. Cannot beat the taste, hands down. I've been experiementing with Detour's Oatmeal bars. They don't seem to melt and will be good for me while on campus. Their macros are pretty decent in my opinion, but not the best tasting; function over form in my case.

No problem. Personally when it comes to protein bars, I buy them for taste mainly. When I'm hardcore dieting they are out of the equation all together. :)

It does contain hydrolyzed gelatine but along with whey Protein Hydrolysate and Whey Protein Isolate. I know its not the best protein souce to have in there but I believe the majority of the protein is comming from the solid amino acid profiled proteins with the Hydrolyzed gelatine just there for the texture of the bar (I dont believe there trying to fill the bar with crap protien, just for the texture.)

Either way they taste damn good :food:.

It is the best tasting bar on the market hands down, however the 27 grams of sugar alcohol is enough to make my stomach cringe. Otherwise the cleanest bar I've seen and my overall favorite is, as others have said the VPX Zero Impact bars. The ingredients(not just the nutritional facts) on this bar are amazing! No hydrogenated oils at all!!!

Theres another site that will remain nameless that does lab tests on various bars and other supplements and yeah alot of bars by a particular company didn't meet label claims.
