i've seen posts about clif, luna and lara bars, but there are tons of other bars out there too. what's your favorite brand of bar? what's your favorite flavour of this bar? why do you like this bar so much?

my favorite is interACTIVE's low-carb protein bar, and my favorite flavour is the "iced dream" flavour. i like this bar so much because it has 25g of protein and fills me up forever!

"ice cream" flavor sounds really good. I still really like Luna bar (nutz over chocolate). But I also like Kashi roll bar too. The chocolate sundae taste delicious!

Luna bars are the best!  Nutz over chocolate, pecan pie, and cookies and cream are my favorites!

I like Luna chai tea, all the other flavors I've tried are just OK. Larabars are meh...not anything amazing for the calorie density.

Love the Luna dulce de leche flavor.

Also Odwalla high protein bars.

Marathon snickers dark chocolate bar! high fiber and good amount of protein

Kashi's trail mix granola bar for salty cravings

Clif bars: Carrot cake and peanut toffee buzz.  They are perfect for afternoon snack when I'm on the go.  Most of them have atleast 10 grams of protein.

Personally, I don't eat  bars..I don't think they are worth the calories and you are just as better off eating a regular chocolate bar. That's only my opinion though.

Quaker and Kashi have some pretty good granola bars as far as a snack goes. :)

Try Supreme Protein Bars, either flavor.  Big and yummy.....

I love think thin creamy peanut butter bars.  They are 20grams of protein and 0g of sugar.  They are high on the cals side, 240.. but they keep me full forever.  

special k strawberry. only 90 calories, and tastes like heaven !

Generally, I avoid "bars" since they have tons of additives and artfical flavorings. If it's not refined sugar, then it's fake sugars - bleh. Even Clif bars and Luna bars are mostly sugars. "cane juice crystals" and "brown rice syrup" are basically the same as "sugar". However, my favorite Clif flavor would have to be 'carrot cake', and for Lunas it would be Smores. When I was a little kid I used to like the Special K Blueberry bars. I thought they were a "healthy snack" since they're kind of 'diet food' so I'd eat like three or four at a time, hahah.

Lara bars are an exception though. They are minimally processed, raw, have lots of healthy fats, have no added sugar, have a whole serving of fruits and nuts, and best of all they just taste so much better than other bars. PURE bars are quite similar, although they do have some agave nectar in them, which adds some sugars other than fruits. I pretty much love all Lara Bars, but the Cherry Pie one is a little too sweet and sour for my tastes. I have at least one or two a day!

I like the Peanut Sesame Kind Bar and the Chocolate Coconut Chew Larabar! :D

we have 'eat natural' bars in the UK which i don't think you can get in the US but they're basically fruit and nuts and puffed rice mixed together with shredded coconut and honey and things.. the ones with yogurt coating are sooo delicious! apricot and almond or blueberry and pistachio are my favs.

I know it's old school, not very hip, and probably processed and terrible for me, but my fave is Powerbar performance bars, peanut butter flavor.  What can I say, I love the weird, squishy texture.

I love the luna peppermint stick.

By far the Trim advantage Protein snack bars, or peanut butter pretzel bars. they are amazing! there is chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and peanut butter. and the pretzel variety has peanut butter or vanilla. mmm.... so delicious!

Caramel Nut Brownie-- LUNA

Why? Because it tastes very chocolatey and brownie-like, and it's vegan. Laughing But I know about all the sugar plus the calories are too high for a snack for me, so I treat it as dessert.

Zone Perfect chocolate peanut butter.  210 cal, 16 g of protein.

i really like Fruit Source Bars, they're low in calories, and have 2 sometimes 3 servings of fruit & vegetables.

 i'm not sure if they're sold in US tho, CC doesn't have them on the food log. :(

I live on a strict food budget on purpose and bars are just too pricey for me.  i have found some of them taste chalky to me.  I will try some of your favorites, I like the idea of having a good emergency food.  My problem is if there too good, I am in trouble.

slimfast optima- milk chocolate peanut! they're so good. perfect for breakfast if you're in a hurry.
