|  Yummy Snack!
I hit the 3pm slump and began to wonder what post-WLS yummy snack I could eat. For Valentines I ordered a few different flavors of Pure Protein bars. So I tried the "peanut butter caramel surprise" bar. OMG, it is great. It even has caramel appearing goo. (18g p, 0 trans fat, 2g sugar). I ate half the bar (saving the rest for tomorrow). Can't beat 18grams of protein, that is not a chicken leg....

A lot of us like the Pure Protein brand. Wal-Mart carries them, too, in the pharmacy section, so you might not have to order them if there's one convenient to you.

Blech....I was out shopping last week and was in Bed Bath and Beyond. It was snack time and I had nothing with me. I stopped in their "pharmacy" section and found the protein bars. I picked that exact one out and ate it. Wasn't too excited about it, to say the least. I hope there are some better ones out there, cuz I need to find a solid backup plan when I am out.
Glad you liked it though!

I looked at the protein bars but was really put off by the amount of calories . How many calories are in the ones you use ?

The caramel one has 210 calories. I rarely look too closely at cals anymore. I look first at protein, fat and sugar.

I don't like sweet things anymore, so the Pure Protein peanut butter ones (no caramel) work for me because it's not too sweet and I can buy them at Walmart (6 for like $7).

That depends on your pouch. Better ask it at a quiet time, without forcing things.

Yes, I bought some of the Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe kind. It tasted like I was eating chocolate chalk. I ate about 1/4 of it and threw it away...yuck! and yes from a misspent youth..I know what chalk taste like...lol. :-)
