What's in your protein bars?

I started using protein bars over powder mainly because I have a tough time digesting the powder.

I currently use "Bio Protein" protein bars. The ingredients are per bar:

23 g of protein
38 g of carbs
6 g of sugars
9 g of fat
9 g of fibre

320 calories

It has calcium (25%), iron (30%), folate (15%), magnesium (15 %), zinc 925%), copper (20%).

Thoughts?

I think the Whey Isolate shakes are better, I like Optimum Nutrition. A lot of those protein bars are full of processed stuff that just make them unhealthy, sure they might be better than eating a Snickers but they are still in the same category (most of them) in my opinion.

Same here. I'm currently taking there pro gainer and there creatine. I do occasionally eat Quest Protein Bars. They taste really good especially the cookies n cream one.

Right, look into BB.com (bodybuilding.com) if you don't already to buy all of the Optimum Nutrition stuff. They have the best prices, run a lot of good bulk discount deals, plus if you have the Upromise Credit Card tied to your Upromise Account, you can get another 10% off on top of whatever discounts are directly from BB.com

I don't take any of it anymore. Protein bars are just like candy bars.

The only time I take it synthetic protein powders, I go to Whole Foods or similar and get a couple of small packages of the purest stuff I can find, with little sugar. Even then, I blend that in a shake with peanut butter, almonds, bananas, etc. Really just to give it a chocolate taste.
