Yummy health bars??

I think I may buy some of these today for next week at work. Can anyone tell me the names of a few brands that are REALLY GOOD TASTING? Are there any? I had a few pria bars years ago that were ok -- might pick up some of those - but if anyone else can name some that are really very yummy, I'm all ears!

The new special K bars w/ protein are good. They are usually in the slim fast isle, not with the granola bars.

South Beach ones are good too. The apple ones in particular.

Re: Yummy health bars??

yeah, those Special K ones are pretty good (and certainly more filling than Pria).

I'm a sucker though for Zones. Mmmm!! I live off these - esp the Mint flavored.

Also Lunas are very good. There's lots of flavors, but my favorites are the Nuts Over Chocolate & Peppermint. Chat Icon

I have 2 of these ever day - gives me my chocolate fix!!! lol.

(if you're not into chocolate tho, Natures Valley is pretty darn good too. Dh has become a fan of these as well. lol.)

Re: Yummy health bars??

Jenn are you looking for a protein bar or more like a snack bar.

For protein bars I like the one Special K makes and the South Beach ones.

For snack ones I also like the South Beach one (not the small snack size ones and not the full protein meal replacement ones they are sort of middle of the road.

Also Kashi just came out with a fruit filled bar that is really good and high Fiber.

Just watch with the granola like ones some of them are good but high sugar and no fiber/protein which makes them empty calories.

ETA: WAIT WORK -- DID YOU GET A JOB?!?!?!??!?!?!

I like the Cliff Bars -- especially the oatmeal one and the peanut butter one!!

I also like the Zbars that they make for kids -- smaller and less calories. The chocolate chip one is good Chat Icon

Also one of my faves -- I work in real estate and never have time to eat real meals. I'm just constantly grabbing snack bars in between clients so I feel like I've tested almost all of them Chat Icon

For protein bars I LOVE the special K ones. They keep you full. I also like Luna bars.
For snack bars I eat granola or fiber one.

Clif has always been my fave!
Soyjoy tastes better if you heat it up.

me too! My mom's nutritionist recommended these. She said a bar's sugar content should be in the single digits.
