I'm a big fan of Clif Builder bars for my protein bar. They have a some sugar in them but it's not an overwhelming amount. My overall diet doesn't have much sugar in it so it balances out.
For an energy bar I go with Clif bars or a home made bar with peanut butter, molasses, and whatever nuts I can find. If I'm at the gym I'll toss a sugar free redbull and gatorade into the mix.

Well nothing really if you are pretty active. Which I'd assume most of the people on this forum are... more so for my teeth. I am not as gifted as my sisters and their resiliency to cavities :( (Yes I brush my teeth plenty)

Cookies and cream
she screamed
I want it now
with milk from the cow
a cold glass appeared
then quickly disappeared
snacks will have to wait
until you are locked behind the gate
cookies and cream
he screamed
and everything inbetween
okay Have it your way
I knew you were gay
So a climber appeared'
out of nowwhere
I'll give you a tasty bar
something that will melt in your mouth
without a doubt
with energy
of course
with protein
no doubt
where is it
I just can't give it to you now
you have to wait
and one fine day
you can eat it all the way
I'm hungry now
well, you aren't a cow
time will tell
wait for the bell
and the homebaked smell

That actually made more sense than most of your posts. Better grammar and punctuation too.

Asshole: I tried a few of these on a Red Rocks trip I just got back form and now I'm HOOKED! They taste so damn good. Going to be hard to look at my old favorite, Clif Mint/chocolate bars, ever again.
Something that tastes that good can't be good for you Jay. In particular, the Double fudge and cookies and cream Promax bars....hmmmmm OMG! They cost more too. But seriously, thanks for the tip JT512. I'd never tasted one before, and now they are my bar of choice. Of note: they surprisingly carry (relatively) well in the heat. Some bars, like some Zonediet bars (mmmmmm, also good stuff) have frosting which turns to goo in your pockets and are hela-messy to peel mid-climb and then deal with a gooy wrapper as well.

You mean the coconut oil and the 30% saturated fat content ? I eat it regardless.

For anybody looking for homemade bars where you can list the ingredients without having to ask a chemist, try these: Homemade, No-bake clif bars.
They're great. I made like 35 of them before I left on my trip. The cost works out to about 30 cents per bar depending on how you cut them.

Thanks for posting that. I'm going to make a batch.
How do they hold up during travel? In other words, how long are they staying fresh and edible?

I'm still eating them about a month later. They become more and more brittle as time passes, but they're still fine to eat. They just sat in my foodbox without any refrigeration, and I just ate one yesterday.
You may find that you need to play around with the amount of brown rice syrup/natural peanut butter.

I made a batch; they're damn tasty. I used sunflower seeds and dried cranberries. Also, I used molasses instead of brown rice syrup. Next time I'll increase the seeds to boost the protein.

Me: You know these pro bars are less expensive at .... but you are so local , I thought I would buy them here !
Store: Well, that's our price !
Me: Well, then I will go back to ... and get them at (price).
Unless you can offer the same price.
That would be very helpful.
Store: Okay, how many (...) do you want?
Me: Three, but I will try and come back, ok?
I've had my eye on that $1299 Trek bicycle
Pemmican?
There is a reindeer farm in Redmond Oregon which looks like they keep them there for Christmas Fantasies. Rudolph is there waiting.
However, a closer look, and some questions lead me to the horror that some of the innocent reindeer are being eaten.

I tried to make Pemmican once...put nuts, Huckleberries and some home made jerky in a blender...problem was a chip of glass broke off and ended up in the Pemmican. When I gave a piece to my friend I heard a loud crunch, looked over and noticed a piece missing form the blender and made my buddy spit it out.
Pemmican bar- wanna bleed?

Haha! I like your style
My preferred protein bar is the Syntha-6 Bar by BSN. I only eat them on occasion though, whenever I'm lacking protein and I'm on the go. I would suggest avoiding these bars unless you are really in a bind. But if you want, you can check out the syntha 6 bars online, they should state all the nutrition facts.
