I got a sample in the mail today of a new protein bar made by Jigsaw Health (I previously bought a magnesium supplement from them, so I suppose that's why they sent the bars). Anyhow, this bar is seriously delicious and I plan to order them. And they are: gluten/lactose/soy/casein free. I just tried the coconut almond flavor, and it was just soooo good to my poor deprived palate. Seriously delicious, really!
They also sent me a sample of a chocolate one...Ibut haven't tried it yet...will do so tomorrow and report on it.

Here's the link if you are interested...apparently they have a 2 for 1 deal going now. I HAVE NO CONNECTION TO THIS COMPANY....but I've seen discussions about protein bars and I had despaired myself of finding a good one. This has 12 g protein (not as high as I'd like), but also has Omega 3's and says they are great for the immune system and sensitive stomachs.
Meanwhile, here's the link if you are interested.

sounds good, do you know how many fat grams and calories are in one bar?
I bought some larabars the other day, looked at the fat grams when I got home and was shocked at how high they are...they went right in the trash!

Go get those Lara Bars..... the reason the fat content is high is they are whole food, good fats, not bad or synthetic. They are full of nuts (depending on which one it would be walnuts, cashews, almonds, all of which are loaded with good fats your body needs).
They have no trans fats or saturated fats, they are whole foods mashed together and they are really tasty. My daughter's favorites are Cherry Pie, Apple Pie and Ginger Snap.
Enjoy.

eb,

Click on the link that cmcm provided in his post, you will see what looks like an ingredients label. I didn't see it at first myself, but it looks like a picture (it actually is a picture) of a bunch of tiny words. Click on it and it will enlarge and it is all the nutritional info.

I tried to copy it but couldn't ('cause it's a picture file). best regards, lm

Looks like they're NOT dairy-free; the ingredients include several forms of whey protein.

it may be "good" fat but its still fat..even my Dr said nuts are a good fat but no more than a tablespoon or 2 a couple days a week

I called the company the bars have 8 grams of fat and 12 grams of protien. I like the Pure bar. It to contains they same amount of fat and protien ($2.00). It's a nice special treat, say.... instead of a donut. Anbody know of a lower good fat, higher protein bar?

That doesn't sound like good advice to me unless you are SEVERELY overweight. We do need fat in our diets--but not the processed garbage that is in most prepared foods.

I got this protein bar recipe, It taste really good.

Cheers.

Looks very good. What did you use instead of wheat germ...did you just omit?

Keep in mind your fats are ok, as long as they are good fats coming from a good source. You don't want to go tooooooo low in fat.
