What is your absolute favorite protein bar, brand and flavor?

I've eaten a fair amount but being in the southwest we may not have a whole lot available. So, what is your absolute favorite protein bar, the brand and flavor.

I'm tied with two, Pure Protein Lemon Cake 20g protein, 2g sugar, 190 calories and think! 10g protein, 5g sugar and 150 calories. One I'll use as a meal replacement and the other a snack.

I haven't tried any bars, just the shakes. But the Pure Protein Lemon Cake sounds pretty good. I'll pick some up.

One thing I always keep in my purse just in case I feel weak or have a strong candy-bar craving is an Atkins Caramel Chocolate Nut Roll Bar. It only has 7g protein, low sugar and carbs but at 190 calories, I eat them sparingly, maybe once a week. But let me tell you, they are delicious and will hold you over in a pinch.

I still feel like I'm only just starting to try out the protein bar options; I've tried perhaps 8 types so far and have been sticking strictly to low calorie options, and budget friendly i.e. $1 per bar or very close. Most are too soft for my liking (like a warm 3-muskateer) or are overly artificially sweet.

So far my go-to is Protein One 90 calorie bars, strawberry & cream flavor. Very chewy so it takes some time to eat the little thing; sweet enough to curb your sweet tooth / snack attack - and at only 90 calories it wont bust any calorie budget. And...they are not good enough to want two in a row.

Quest makes a s'mores bar. It has chocolate hunks in it but I pull those out. I'm not one for much chocolate or the high sweet level. I try to adhere to 20g of protein to 5g of sugar. My husband and I like the Protein One bars. I forgot about the Atkins bars. Thanks Brenda.
 
I have tried a few of the quest bars (they have one that is chocolate sprinkled donut flavor) but I was not happy with them (the taste just wasn't right). I tend to stay away from the protein bar because it fills me up way to fast for the little bit of protein it gives in return. I would rather drink a protein shake and vastly increase my protein intake and not feel that heavy feeling in my stomach that I get with a protein bar. But that's just me. :)
