try the new PowerPlus bars, they have a fruit layer on them and they9the bars) to great!!! I usually have to choke down protien bars becuse they taste so bad, but these babies are as good as a Snickers.....Ok maybe not AS good but not to far behind!

I love protein bars. I lived on them for years. I don't remember the names but I have found a few I liked. 'Cookies and cream' and 'peanut butter' are my favorite flavours...

But then again I used to ea tuna from the can :)

Tuna, mac& cheese, and PB&J's are my staple to get around protien bars...For some reason I just have a hard time with them..I also have trouble with whey protien shakes...EW!!!

Way too much trouble to get the tuna out of the can and fix it up when all you really have to do is pop the top off.

The Power Plus bars(obviously by Powerbar) are great, they are new, so make sure you get one that says new on it..Cuz the old ones suck big time.

I really like the Balance Bar gold bars... good flavors like Caramel Nut Blast, and the Rocky Road are pretty good... usually eat them on a ride, and they really seem to work, and they almost taste like a candy bar... so they are all good to me

Clif Bars seem to work for me ( get them cheap at Costco ). As for PB, Nothing like Adam's Natural (Crunchy)

Not sure if Clif makes a protein bar, but their regular energy bars are so much tastier than powerbars!

Clif bars are one of my favs..Java Avalanche being my particular favorite.

The only ones I can tolerate are Balance Bar Gold and some of the Powerbars.

I wish these http://www.grabberwarmers.com/images/barsall.jpg were still being made. :cry: Very tasty.
