Looking for something I can have with an apple or some other fruit for a quick breakfast in the morning. I've been buying the Pure Protein brand which have around 180-200 calories and 20g of protein each.

Are there better options out there? TIA.

They're all good imo. I stick to the all naturals that are sweetened with Stevia.

Definitely Quest. The chocolate chip cookie dough is my favorite. I haven't had a bad one but my other faves are apple pie, coconut cashew, and strawberry cheesecake. Heat one up for about 10 seconds in the microwave.

They released a new flavor yesterday. Some sort of double chocolate chunk or something, looks awesome.

Double chocolate chunk. I bought it last week during the pre release or whatever. it is really rich. Almost too rich.

So it's not as good as cookie dough?

It's hard to find decent protein bars that aren't mostly soy protein though. Look into making them at home. It's easy and cheap.

I don't think so. But if you really love a dark chocolate taste you would like.

Sometimes you can find them cheaper than $24.99 at drugstore.com or vitacost but $24.99 is the norm. Also if you order from Quest you can google free shipping codes and a code to get your own mix of bars for the 12 bar price. Quest will also send a sample bar.
