FYI - Nature Valley Protein Chewy Bars
Not sure if these are well known or not, but when I was at Walmart in Port Huron this weekend I found Nature Valley Protein Chewy Bars with 10 g of protein. Two flavours - Peanut, Almond and Dark Chocolate flavour and Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate flavour. The second one is yummy - haven't tried the first yet. Calories are a bit high - 190 with 14g carbs (6 sugars and 5 fiber), but if I feel like having a granola bar at least I'm getting some protein! They were just under $3 a box.
Me too. And they sound super-yummy and I can just see myself going crazy on them.
Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!
They are my incase of emergency grab and go snack. I use them after I run for a 5 km and didn't quit get the calorie intake I needed before. But only in case of..I usually make my own all natural peanut butter protein balls instead.

I hadn't seen the high protein bars. I'll keep my eyes out.
I still try to follow the 10g of sugar or less per serving rule when shopping. It keeps crap out of the house and my bag. But a low sugar granola bar (much cheaper than a protein bar) is good in an emergency.
