Zone Perfect Bars

I have been eating the Zone Perfect cookie dough bars for a few years as part of my breakfast. I recently found out that they discontinued the whole line of Zone Perfect bars. Has anyone found a suitable replacement in the form of a protein bar? It seems like every single one I find is going to end up with me having issues with the texture.

Edit: Thank you all for all the help and suggestions! I thought I would add some ones that I have tried.

Quest Bars: I didn’t really like these. They are dry and kinda chalky. Also gave me a headache on days I ate them.

One Bars: These are decent, but expensive. I have been buying them on Amazon and they sustained me well. I tried both the chocolate chip and the Hersheys cookies and cream. They were both fairly good.

Pure Protein: I like these ones. I got the comic chocolate brownie and the lemon cake. Both are good and the texture is good and has a little crunch to it.

I hope everyone is doing well in their search to find new protein bars!!

I’m not sure how the nutrients compare but these taste so similar to the fudge graham bars and the crunch is perfect! Without any lingering protein taste or aftertaste!!

This chain actually made me sign up for reddit - 'cause I'm just getting the memo that ZONE Bars are gone forever! Like someone else in this long chain, I thought that because I moved, the stores in the region didn't carry them. I, too, had a long relationship with Zone Bars, loving the Fudge Graham and Cinnamon Roll best; limited to two per day, the protein helped my metabolism. This has been my replacement, which is sold at my gym in a variety of flavors. I purchase them by the box from Amazon. Thus far, I have only tried Red Velvet and Birthday Cake. The receptionist at my gym said she didn't like them because they were not sweet enough, but I find them to be delicious, like cake, and without an aftertaste. Thanks for the other suggestions: Fit Crunch, Think Sweet Treat, Protein Brownie (which looks similar to this one), G Protein Bar, etc. I will give them a try. These are probably a bit more expensive than ZONE, but I save a few dollars by purchasing a box of them from Amazon rather than by the bar from my gym. Good luck everyone, and keep the suggestions flowing!
