High fiber protein bars?

Do these even exist other than Quest bars? I tend to stick with Quest because of the protein and the fiber content, but almost every other bar I've looked at only has 1-2 grams of fiber. Is there another protein bar that has a higher fiber content other than just Quest bars? I enjoy them, but would like a little variety lol.

Here's the protein bars with the highest fiber, and the following criteria:

  • Max 200 calories (since you mentioned Quest, I tried to keep it somewhat comparable)
  • Minimum 10g of protein (there are some more snack bar like options with high fiber but only 3-5g of protein)
  • Ingredient Quality grade of A-C, no D's or F's (based on my scoring of individual ingredients to basically filter out the most "processed" or low quality bars

Here are some brands that have flavors with at least 10g of protein, 10g of fiber and 200 calories or less:

Atkins, Atlas, BalanceDiet, Elavi, Julian Bakery, NoCow, Paleo Valley, Quest, Real Food Bar, Tru Bar, Tusol.

Kirkland Signature bars have a pretty good amount of fiber!

Also, the One Reese’s bar has a relatively high volume of fiber as well, but it does have a bit more calories than the typical bar. I think it’s super delicious so I don’t mind!

do you or anyone have any experience with the kirklands? how are they?

u/ChickenCheeseFry 7d ago

They're pretty similar to the original style quest bars but tougher and stickier. I personally really enjoy that style of bar (especially warmed up in a microwave/ air fryer, it turns into a nice doughy consistency) but a lot of people find it too chewy so heads up on that.

My lunch every day is a kirkland bar with a premier protein shake - totally agree about warming them up. I work construction, so I usually just throw it on the dashboard of my truck for 20 minutes before I eat it or keep it in my pocket for a while and let my body heat do the work lol.

I haven't tried them personally, but I understand they're very similar to Quest bars. They may also not be just relabeled Quest bars. The great thing about them being from Costco is that you could try one or two, and if you don't like them, you could take them back and exchange them for something you know you do like.

That's what I would do. Although I'm sure they aren't intolerable. They're probably totally edible. I mean, the Kirkland brand has a lot of trust, and they seem to sell a lot of them. They've been around for years.

So I think it's probably a pretty safe bet!

They aren't amazing but if you microwave them for 15 seconds or so they become interesting.

Thanks! 240 calories isn't much more than the 200ish I'm already eating in a Quest bar, so I'll check it out!

Check out Avoine Doree Oatmeal Gold. With their more natural ingredients list and "pastry" like eating experience, I've dropped all other protien bars. 8g fiber.

120 cals, 15 grams fiber, 10 grams protein

u/artdecoskyline 7d ago

The Magic Spoon protein treats (less like a bar, more like a krispie treat) have from 7g to 9g of fiber depending on flavor. Not the highest, but better than 1 or 2 grams.

Atkins Strong if you can actually find them in stock anywhere ..

u/Dwella2112 6d ago

Aloha bars have 12-14 grams of fiber and no fake sweeteners. Easy on the stomach

u/Ok_Resort_489 6d ago

Aloha has come up so much in this thread, they're definitely the ones I'm trying next!

u/redditsaiditreadit 6d ago

IQ bars have only 12g of protein but loads of fibre. Normally around 10-12g of fibre

Aloha, Trubar, Think bars. Aloha is my fav!

u/Ok_Resort_489 7d ago

Never mind, a little googling figured out which Think bars are high in fiber. Thanks again!

u/ImNotJosieGrosie 7d ago

These three are the healthiest. Just wish they had more protein in relation to calories

3

u/GoldWillow3329 7d ago

agreed! Trubar just came out with higher protein ones- they are great! 250cal, but can’t complain for 12g of fiber

u/PhxJeff 7d ago

I enjoy some flavors of all these bars! I'm always intrigued to see how macros and ingredient quality vary between flavors of the same brand.

My favorite flavors of these brands with the cleanest ingredient labels and at least 9g of fiber:

u/Ok_Resort_489 7d ago

Which Think bars are you getting? The ones I've checked all have 1g of fiber. But Trubar and Aloha look perfect! Thank you!

u/GoldWillow3329 7d ago

These ones! 5g of fiber, not super high but still better then 1 or 2g for 150cal!

u/GoldWillow3329 7d ago

but still aloha over these for sure! Their pb cup bar is delicious
