Low-Carb Snack Bar Reccommendations?

[mchames]

Can anyone suggest a low-carb snack bar that TASTES GOOD?

I bought a couple of different ones today and tasted two different brands, both chocolate and BOTH THE MOST VILE THINGS I'VE EVER TASTED!

I'm following the Curves diet which is low carb (not as low as Atkins). It allows for a protein shake (their own) once a day. I'm looking for a snack bar that I could use to substitute for the shake because the shake is just not convenient for me. I need something that I can carry with me between taking DD3 and DD5 to camp, swim lessons, ballet, the park, playdates, etc. I find that by the time I get home to make a shake or eat something healthy the food headache is already setting in and I don't really want to start digging into the snack bag I pack for the DD's. You know the stuff... goldfish, pretzels, granola bars, etc.

Thanks for the help.

The Zone Perfect bars are pretty good. My favorites are the Chocolate Peanut Butter, Apple Cinnamon and Chocolate Mint. They taste really good, but are high protein/low carb and have a ton of vitamins and minerals too.

Carbolite makes sugar free chocolate and it's pretty good but some people cannot tolerate the sugar alcohols for sweetening.

They also make sugar free cookies, jelly beans and gummi bears.

You can buy Carolite bars at Walgreens, CVS, Ekerd's or Meijers and Walmart.

I have to agree, the Carbolite bars are VERY good, but unfortunately, they don't agree with me!!

I love some of the Atkins bars flavors, especially the Almond Brownie.

I've been eating bars made my EAS. They all seem to be pretty good...especially the blueberry ones. . I had the peanut butter and jelly...."Bleck"! is all I can say for that one. I had the Chocolate Brownie chip one today...it was VERY good, and I am NOT a big chocolate person.

If you need more info on the brand let me know. I did try one by a company called Ultimate, it was a vanilla flavored one...Now had this been a candle and not a low carb food (and I use that word loosely)...it would have been perfect... it smelled and tasted like something I would put in my tart warmer...LOL!!

I just tried the cookies and cream Atkins bar. One bite was too much. I'm going to have nightmares for weeks just from that little taste. UGH UGH UGH...

I bought some Atkins Bars and some Zone Perfect Bars to see which ones I would like. I also bought a box of the Atkins breakfast bars.

I tried the Atkins Chocolate Coconut Bar. It was pretty good. When choosing flavors I did happen to PASS OVER the Cookies and Cream one. After reading this, I'm sure glad I did.
