95% of protein bars have more sugar than a can of mtn dew.  The 3 i posted links to are the exceptions that ive found

Got it, thanks. Will order a few of those.

Assuming you mean hiking/hunting when you say pack, a bar like Cliff is going to be a better overall bar than a 1 dimensional “protein” bar.   :twocents:

When it comes to taste the blueberry cobbler cliff is hard to beat, agreed higher in sugar than ideal but on par with snickers for taste  :drool:

When it’s used during a strenuous hike or activity and coupled with the other ingredients , yes.  :twocents:

On par with snickers for taste because its full of sugar, basically a candy bar itself.  Damn near half the country is either dependent on insulin, or soon will be.  Because everybody eats garbage loaded with high fructose corn syrup and/ or sugar.  Its insanely prevalent in peoples diets.  All the breads, condiments- ketchup, barbeque sauce, teriyaki etc etc.  Start looking at ingredient labels and nutritional labels.  Sugar, sugar, sugar .  Get off that *censored* if you dont want to have diabetes and end up rolling around tte grocery store in a scooty puff, grabbing your soda off the shelf while wearing a compression sock on the one foot that hasnt yet been amputated.

No, the excessive sugar doesnt make it better, period.  All that does for you is give you a very temporary energy boost followed by a crash.  There is no nutritional advantage.

This OP is clearly interested in PROTEIN not sugar

I like the Nature Valley’s Willy posted, and the Special K ones below.
And they actually taste great, not like most Protein bars.

There is more sugar than protein in those.  Op asked about protein bars, not sugar bars.   :twocents:

:yeah:
Even an apple kills my blood sugar levels for 10 hours. I read every label for sugar content my CDE (Certified Diabetic Instructor) says no more that 10%, I try for 5% or less. I've been able to keep my A1C score under 5.5 , 6+ you are going to be on insulin.

Tastes a lot better that a mouth full of oats, and don’t stop you up either. And they go great with coffee.
LOL

Thats great, a resses pb cup tastes like lot better than a mouthful of oats too.  But since the op was asking specifically about protein, im assuming thats his main concern.  Not what is a tasty sugary snack.
