Does anyone know of a protein bar that doesn't taste like sh-t? Also, doesn't have nuts in it?

Premier Protein is the best tasting I've had.

You get all the protein from your food. Why do you need junk food? Iggie

Those are just drinks, right? I am looking for a bar.

I love their shakes. I will have to try the bars!

My last blood test showed a low protein level, and also I am recovering from surgery. The nurse said to bulk up my protein, and like I am going to argue with a nurse?

Also, my dietitian told me to drink Boost High Protein and even gave me samples of it. I don't get as much protein as most people because I don't eat red meat or hardly any meat on a daily basis, and I have trouble digesting veggies, so I am stuck unless I supplement.

The bars are Pure Protein, the drinks are Premier Protein… my bad.

Thanks for clarifying. I did order a box of the birthday cake flavored bars off Amazon. So I will give it a try and see what I think. It's only a 6 pack, so if I don't like them, then it isn't a lot of money or waste. Thanks for the recommendation.

G-Day Infinity, you need to start eating meat. You're not a vegan, are you? Regards, IGGIE

No, I'm not a vegan, but I just am not a fan of hunks of meat. I do eat chicken maybe twice a week. I like fajitas, chicken, and cheese in a tortilla. I ate a piece of turkey meatloaf this past week. It didn't kill me, but I wouldn't eat it often.

I wouldn't eat turkey meatloaf very often either, if ever. 🤮 I love turkey the normal ways, but it's just not right to make it into a loaf, burger, etc.

LOL, you are very funny. I would eat a turkey burger once in a while. Jennie-O makes a good seasoned frozen one. I wouldn't eat a ground beef burger, though, or beef meatloaf. I guess maybe I am picky?

The cancer center used to give me Ensure high-protein drinks whenever I asked, and they really made a difference. Super important to keep the nourishment going.

It's chicken fried rice way too often in my world. I'm a terrible cook, and it comes out fine. Usually. Sometimes.

I haven't had fried rice in a long time. That sounds good. I used to get veggie fried rice from a local place here in town. Gosh... it has been a very long time. Now you are making me want some. But having just had my gallbladder out, I am sure the dietitian would frown on me having anything fried.

Macro bars. Yummy and was suggested by my dietitian.

I like Zone Fudge Graham bars. No nuts. 14 g of protein. Handy on my long hikes.

Woke up from my 2nd surgery. Dr. Cima (Mayo) smiled at me & said: Eat lots of peanut butter, LOTS! Keeps well on my hikes.
