I'm realizing I should keep a protein bar in the car for a snack.


What kinds do you like (and where do you buy them)?


What nutritional info should I be looking for in protein bars?

You can make your own at www.youbars.com It might be youbar.com Then you know what is in them. But they have no preservatives in them so the get rancid quick. I do have a recipe that someone posted on another site but I don't have nut value on them. It would depend what you put in them and how big you cut them too. They taste wonderful and I keep them in the freezer.

I've tried a few different brands and I really like some of them for quick snacks. My favorite is the Balance Yogurt Honey Peanut and it has 15 grams of protein. I think it has 200 Calories and 7 grams of fat too. That is a bit high (especially for those newly post op). My NUT didn't even want me eating snacks AT ALL other than my 3 meals per day but I kind of fought her on that early on. I was working out so vigorously and felt hungry and weak all of the time.

Wow, it has been awhile since I have ordered from their site. There is a lot of new stuff. All that was there before was the protein bars and protein shakes. I did not like the free samples of shakes that I got with my order. Texture issue. I am waiting for them to send me my recipes. I have moved and changed my email since I last ordered. I called and they are supposed to be sending me them by email. I do remember putting almond butter and almonds with cherries and chocolate chips with whey protein. I also made one with goji berries, and one with cinnamon and raisins. They also make 3 different sizes. They are guaranteed so if you don't like them you just send them back. I'm not sure but I think you are only out your shipping. The ones I didn't care for my kids ate. I can't remember which one I didn't like.
