Protein Bars

Hi Ladies!  I exercise in the morning as soon as I wake up and would never eat anything before heading to the gym.  Well now that I'm pregnant (and hungrier :-) )  I would like to start eating protein bars before my workout.

 

Can you recommend your favorite protein bars??  Where do you buy them?

 

Thanks!

    I'm not sure if they're the healthiest, but I like the Luna Protein bars in the chocolate peanut butter flavor.  I eat them more as a snack/treat/dessert rather than a meal because I think they do have a decent amount of sugar in them.  But they're super yummy!

    I like the Luna Protein bars too.  They are not too heavy.  And I don't really think you need more calories or protein than that for a pre-workout meal if you are going to eat a bigger breakfast after.  

    I just found a (new?) brand at Walmart - Life Choice.  They have similar nutrition breakout to the Luna bars but are a lot cheaper.  I've only tried one so far and it was good enough for me to continue to buy when I don't get Luna's on sale.  (They were by the health food like gluten-free stuff, I think.  Not near where Walmart sells their other protein bars.)

    I know there are better protein bars out there...and definitely ones with more protein, but i am addicted to the nature valley protein dark chocolate almond bars...they have 10 grams of protein...it's not a ton of protein, but i had been snacking on granola bars that had practically none.  I just really like the way these things taste.  Anyway, i am sure someone can some suggest some slightly healthier ones for you, too.

    I love these also!!  I've started eating one for breakfast almost every morning!

    I second the life choice brand. Lots of protein not too bad on carbs and around 200 calories. The peanut butter one is good!

    I like zone bars and clif bars.  For zone bars, I think the best flavor is almond raisin (even though I hate raisins) and for clif bars I really like chocolate chip peanut butter.

    Thanks everyone! I picked up the Luna bars and cliff bars. My fav is definitely the cliff bar...so good! I'm just eating 1/2 before my morning workout since they're definitely not low-cal. 

    Thanks again for your suggestions!
