Robert Irvine Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup! You can get them at Costco 

its not a bar but it's really good protein cereal kashi go lean crunch , and chocolate crunch as well as vector apple cinnamon flavor  

Protein bars are essentially “fitness inspired junk food”. That said, I like the Kirkland brad ones from Costco, and quest bars. Rx Bars are probably one of the better options from an ingredient point of view. 

I find when I feel hungry, I will eat a handful of raw unsalted nuts and drink water. If I have a sweet craving, then I will drink green tea. I find that helps me. I also read if you feel hungry to eat green beans. They are filling.  

I don’t supplement with protein bars that often but I like RXbars…they are less protein than Questbar and others but natural ingredients and don’t have that chalky taste. Kind of reminds me of Eatmore bars. 

Thanks for all the suggestions! This gives me some good ideas to try. 

Pure protein taste great 

Thanks Devon. I think I’ve seen it posted on here a few times but never tried it. Thanks for the suggestion. 

Not sure if maybe a protein shake would interest you but I love the MRE lite brand and it does a good job holding off hunger while keeping calories low 😊 

Thanks Jenny girl!! I should’ve said protein bar or shake, I’m open to suggestions for either.  

Shakes are a better option in my opinion. Additionally, you can mix the powders into other recipes to make high protein waffles, puddings, muffins, ice cream, etc. If you want to try a bunch of flavours without spending a ton of money, https://ca.myprotein.com/ sells a bunch of different sample sizes. Just don’t ever pay full price on that site. They always have a discount code. 😉 

I hadn’t considered using protein powder in a way other than a shake…thanks StomachMonkeys. And for the online site to try different kinds. I don’t wanna buy a large quantity of something I’m not fond of! 

I find fiber fills me up better than protein. You might try upping that. When I eat a ton of veggies, it's hard to find room for a lot else 

That’s a good reminder writingwyo! I am a veggie lover actually which helps :) 

The big CRUNCH bars at gas station are really good. Typically 30g of protein. Lot of sugar though
