I have started eating power bars as a sub-meal in between breakfast and lunch, and lunch and dinner. My question is: What are your favorite kinds of power bars (brand/flavor)?
So far I have been trying a bunch of different brands and flavors to try and find something that tastes good, but is not too rich.
Any suggestions?
 
I think the Detour brand are decent. I hate Met-rx Big 100 chocolate chip cookie dough, yuk.
 
I bought a bunch of the Met-Rx Protein Plus bars to take with me when I travel, so I can still get some protein while stuck on a plane. The chocolate roasted peanut flavor was AWFUL. It took me 1/2 an hour to get almost through one, then I gave up. I was afraid I was gonna have to pull out the air-sickness bag. I have some of the chocolate chunk flavored ones left....I am afraid to even try them, and they weren't cheap either.
 
I like Zone bars although they're slightly higher in sugar than I would like and Luna bars are good too. I only eat those for treats though. For day to day snacking I eat EAS carb-sense bars and NitroTech bars.

I bought a couple of different types of bars the other day... so far I have tried:

Advant Edge "iced chocolate cake" bar, and another one (can't remember the name) with chocolate and caramel. They were both really quite awful. Didn't even really want to finish them, but I did because I was hungry and had nothing else to eat.

Body for Life balanced nutrition bar in "cookies and cream". This was really good. 200 calories, 15g protein, 22g carbs, 10g sugar, 7g fat. I thought that was pretty good.

I looooove Zone bars, especially the Fudge Graham. I agree, sugar is a bit high (13 g) but I don't stress over it since I eat pretty good during the day. I have tried EAS and Body-for-life bars, I didn't care too much for them but my husband likes them.
 
I don't like to eat a lot of bars because they tend to be processed and full of junk. But I do love Clif bars.

Here's a bar that I eat that has high quality, natural ingredients:


They're called Elev8 Me bars, and they're great!

Thanks for all of your replies!
I really like the idea of a bar with all natural ingrediants, so I have ordered some in and will hopefully get them pretty soon.
