What's your preferred post-workout protein bar?
This is for when you want something right away, but don't have time to have "real" food in the 15-30 minute after exercise nutrition window.
Lately I've been having Clif Builder's bars, but they have more sugar than I'd really like (e.g. 21g sugar in a 280 cal, chocolate peanut butter bar, which has 20g of protein) so I'm considering alternatives. Lots of folks seem to like Quest bars, but I'm having a hard time digesting the $2 / bar price, vs $1.5 for the Clif. Thanks |

Lately i've been using "ONE Protein Bars". 200 calories give-or-take, 20g protein (whey/ soy blend), low sugar, good fiber and taste decent enough. cost is $1.79 at the gas station.

RX Bars... yum

The sugar alcohol is what is making y'all bloated and gassy and it's not any healthier for you than regular sugar either.
Find something a little lower in sugar such as: Clif Bar Whey Protein Salted Caramel Cashew https://www.ebay.com/itm/52x-Clif-Wh....c100506.m3226 |
I’ve always been a sucker for tiger bars.

After realizing that I was just eating a glorified candy bar every time I chewed up a Clif, I started a quest for a low to no sugar bar (I don't want sugar in anything, because sugar is in everything, and I don't want any more, know what I mean?). I landed upon the ThinkThin bars, which have zero sugar and 20g protein. Taste OK. Whole Foods has them.

I really like the chocolate flavor. If you buy in the canister it is not too pricey.
