Protein Bars / Power Bars / Pre-Gym workout

Hi!

I am trying to find a bar that is healthy to snack on before I hit the gym. I have been going straight from work to the gym so I eat my dinner right after. Is there anything that can curb my hunger from 3:00 until I eat my dinner something I can grab and go.

Thank you,

I like the quest bars. They have many different flavors my favorite is the cookie dough especially warmed up. Always recommended by the vitamin/fitness stores

Yes, quest is great!! Low sugar high protein and yummy. I have them for breakfast. Peanut butter and jelly is my current fave.
I didn't know when I started to eat them (a coworker really into cross fit said the instructor recommended them) but Jillian Michaels recommended these Among a few others when asked what protein bars she likes

Another vote for quest bars. I like them too and my friend who used to train with a trainer recommended them too.

what about just almonds and walnuts. Just watch for those protein bars, sometimes they are loaded with sugar.

My favorites are the ThinkThin brand, they're lower in sugar & carbs than Quest. Also like the Premier Protein bars too.

My Dh eats the Quest bars. I like protein shakes with almond milk or water and ice.

I agree. I don't like the processed bars.

Handful of raw nuts and fruit (or a little dried fruit) or cheese stick works.
