Do they exist?

Good tasting protien bars. I have learned I need to eat something like this about a hour before I work out. I got the special K ones but they smell bad.. therefore .. taste bad..

I love the Zone Perfect Double Dark Chocolate ones.  Nutritional information here.

The fiber one dark chocolate almond bars tatse like a candy bar. They are seriously delicious.

I love Luna bars. The Fiber one bars are also good, but no matter how much or how many, they still make me gassy

I am new to this board but I I thought I would answer. Snickers makes a Snickers Marathon bar that has 13g of protein and they are delicious!

I love Thinkthin bars. They have 20g of protein and taste really good, like candy bars. But 0g of sugar (but also no artificial sweeteners). They have 240 calories so I usually just eat 1/2 on the way to the gym, and 1/2 afterwards. I''m really picky about bars tasting funny or too medicine-y. But these really do taste great.

They are a little harder to find- I can get them at Trader Joe's and Whole Food, and my fav flavor is Crunchy Peanut Butter (it's chocolate covered).

I'm a fan of Luna's protein bars - the Cherry Chocolate Almond ones are my favorite so far. I get them from Target and I know Wegmans also has them. I want to try the Zone Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ones when I find them (anyone know where to find them?) I do like the Fiber One bars but I usually only have them if I absolutely need to (not my favorite and good if you need a chocolate fix haha).

My preworkout protein of choice is, well, food.

I find more protein bars taste like arse and are full of too many unpronounceables. 

If you're going to eat them though, just keep an eye on things like sugar.  Yes, Snickers might make a bar with added protein, but it's still a candy bar.

I definitely wouldn't recommend the Snickers one either like Raynes said, there's a ton of sugar.  The probelm with most of the bars is the sugar content and a lot of unpronounceables.  Some mornings when I wake up though and am starving I will have half a zone bar- it really does taste like candy.  It maintains the zone diet principles of 40% Protein, 30%Carbs, 30% fat.  My favorite kinds are the chocolate mint, chocolate graham, and the cranberry yogurt.

Something else you could try that my trainer is trying to get me to do is to do a small shake with protein powder- I usually just mix the whey protein powder with a little water and some fruit.  I definitely think this helps ensure rapid muscle recovery!

My pre-workout choice though is half an orange- the vitamin c and natural sugar gives me the extra energy I need!

I will try the zone one. Due to medication I am on my metabolism is extremly high so I need something with substance before I work out or I get dizzy and nauseous and get that feeling like I haven't eaten in days. 

I like snickers bars but honestly I am not a fan of chocolate unless I am craving it.

I second the girl who said the new Luna protein bars.  I really like the peanut butter ones.

I like the peanut butter Cliff bars. I also eat the Odwalla bars. Their Super Protien one has 14g of protien.I usually grab one of those between classes at school.
After workouts I drink Bolthouse Farms Vanilla Chai Tea. It has 10g of protien per serving. I'm usually starving after the gym and don't want to consume the whole fridge
