There are a range of flavours of Quest Nutrition protein bars on sale. This is a pretty good price, especially if you subscribe and save (and then remember to unsubscribe).

Each bar has about 20g protein and the ingredients aren't bad for a processed snack you can have on the go.

Some are quite sweet, but my favourite is the Chocolate Brownie, which has a very rich chocolate flavour, or the White Chocolate Raspberry, which actually has raspberries in it. The S'Mores flavour is something a bit different, with a cinnamon hint and biscuity bits throughout.

Chocolate Brownie Flavour
White Chocolate Raspberry Flavour
S'Mores Favour
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Flavour
Caramel Chocolate Chunk
Birthday Cake Flavour

Muscle Nation protein bars are also on sale.

These only have about 15g protein per bar, but are made in Australia and taste pretty good.

The Caramel Toffee Custard is similar to a Picnic bar…

    For anyone that might be reconsidering their American purchases (yes yes I know Amazon is American) these are made in the USA.

    Tons of good protein bars on half price at coles right now. The Bsc Violent Crumble ones are amazing.

        Freudian slip! Maybe it's a metaphor for the direction of the United States.

            @elektron: Yeah super mind-blowing that they prefer the last 4 years of no-calls/no-discussions at all and just funding another nation's citizens against another nation while eating popcorn, in contrast to this administration that's actually beginning talks even though it doesn't have to.

              @marshmall0w2: If you think defending countries against attack from adversaries is new I'm gonna suggest you read a history book.

              Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle. Whether that's because he's a Russian agent or a cuck is yet to be determined.

              Very cringe to think the guy threatening to attack Greenland and Canada is the dove he claimed to be in his campaign.

              Ukraine got attacked. Allies are assisting with military aid. I'm guessing you think Germany were the misunderstood good guys in world war two…

                @krunchymoses: Look, it's called shortcut reasoning. Ukraine won't win. Why do you think UK, EU, AU, NATO isn't mobilising troops but rather have plans on "sending peacekeeping troops?" If a country ain't winning a war anytime soon then do you think you should just keep throwing money at it? Do you think the citizens of other nations in the UK, EU, and AU want to go to the frontlines? Why do you think even Ukrainians are now siding with Trump? It's because forced conscription is now happening there. Why do you think Georgia (during Bush), Crimea (during Obama), Belarus, etc. just surrendered? Have you taken a look at the death tolls during these invasions? Barely nothing. Do you hear much fanfare about these now? Nope, barely any. It's easy to protest in support of Ukraine in these nations; yet another to actually go to the frontlines to fight their war.

                Maybe it's you who need to think more deeply. Things aren't always what they seem.

                As for Trump wanting to annex Greenland and Canada, those are wholly separate issues and for sure won't involve Trump declaring war on those nations for obvious reasons.

                  @marshmall0w2: What's your basis to claim Ukrainians are siding with Trump?

                  Ukraine have been invaded. Obviously it's incredibly sensitive for other nations to send troops, outside of North Korea who have pretty low regard for their citizens…

                  But the idea that surrendering to Russia is somehow some 5d chess and the noble thing to do is a wild thing to claim. I shudder to think where you get your news from.

                  Putin is testing the waters here. He's expanding the Federation and that's not very nice behaviour. The lives of Ukrainians will be distinctly unpleasant under Russian rule and when they're conscripted to fight the next war for Russia they're not gonna be thanking Trump for his efforts.

                  Bizarre take.

                    @krunchymoses:

                    What's your basis to claim Ukrainians are siding with Trump?

                    Multiple interviews with Ukrainians show this. You can find them on YouTube. You obviously won't find these on mainstream media.

                    But the idea that surrendering to Russia is somehow some 5d chess and the noble thing to do is a wild thing to claim.

                    Yet you didn't bother to respond to my point about Georgia, Crimea, and Belarus. Ok.

                    Putin is testing the waters here. He's expanding the Federation and that's not very nice behaviour.

                    I don't disagree. Another shortcut reasoning here is that whatever isn't a NATO or Indo-China nation, is easily up for grabs by Russia.

                    Let me give you a wiser view. What matters more right now is to surrender and keep deaths to a minimum. When the next regime (non-Putin anymore) takes over, then who knows? Maybe the new regime will retract the invaded areas. Don't forget that there are internal power struggles in Russia right now as well. As they say, don't aggravate a declining rabid dog.

                      @marshmall0w2: This is hilarious. Once someone says 'you won't find these on mainstream media' you know enough about them to stop engaging. Interviews with Ukranians, eh? Sounds like a real scientific sample.

                      The fact that you advocate for surrender shows your understanding of geopolitics is that of a wet fart. I am done wasting my time with you - please delete telegram and cancel your internet. You clearly can't be trusted with basic media literacy.

                        Lol, now you're even against interviews the every day Ukrainian. Then what's your sample? Has Ukraine even done a poll as to whether they want to continue the war? Maybe it's you who's actually in the deep.

                          @marshmall0w2: The fact that you think your 'interviews' that you 'can't find on mainstream media' are proof that 'Ukranians are siding with Trump' tells me basically all I need to know about your critical thinking abilities.

                          No wonder Russian propaganda is so effective. People are incredibly easy to deceive.

                          The fact that you don't know whether Ukraine has been polled as to whether they want to continue the war is very, very funny when you just claimed to know objectively that Ukranians 'side' with Trump cause of 'interviews'.

                          lol

                          And yes, they have been polled. Watch out though, it's in the mainstream media! You might melt!

                          But seriously, it's been real. Try to read a little more mainstream media. Your brain has Russian worms in it.

                            @krunchymoses: Funny you should mention mainstream media polls when they failed spectacularly in 2024. Rather, maybe you should actually watch multiple interviews with everyday Ukrainians. If we are talking about statistical sampling, then this would be more accurate. See Nate Silver who polled the everyday American in 2009.

                            Also, see this article.

                              @marshmall0w2: The fact that you are making the false equivalence between election polls and opinion polls is bad - but when you consider that your objective alternative is random interviews on video sites it's laughable.

                              PS - that article does not say Ukranians side with Trump, nor does it in any way support your position that surrender is the best option. Quite the opposite! Did you actually read the article? My money says no.

                              I mean, I'm the real fool by interacting with you here. We are both wasting our time.

            Send a message to the people starving to death because a billionaire doesn't like foreign aid.

                  Yet you didn't bother to answer my point that it's not only the US that has the obligations. Why not focus on other nations too? The US has already given billions in aid. I wonder why problems still aren't solved? Hmm.. maybe it's due to NGOs and non-profits just being money-laundering schemes and hiding behind the virtue of "solving hunger" that keeps the money rolling?

                  • +1

                    @marshmall0w2: You do realise that the EU has given more in aid than the US, right? And as Macron had to correct Trump, it's not loans.

                    Also, the US benefits from military aid as they claim retail on the spreadsheet but send them old stock.

                    This is really common knowledge. The arms industry keeps a lot of red states moving and in times of relative peace you gotta keep the factories pumping.

                    It's all in American self interest. Funny how you see it differently. Wonder which vested interest in this conflict gave you that idea.

                    • -2

                      @krunchymoses: You don't seem to understand that for a sincere peace deal to happen, the US has to play a non-partisan role. The US already played a partisan role last administration. Any deals that explicitly talks about security, mobilising militaries, or whatnot, immediately tanks any peace deal, no matter how much we dislike Russia. That's the reason why Trump and his administration cannot explicitly make any anti-Russian remarks or comments. It's for the sake of a real peace deal. The previous administration can make all the anti-Russian rhetoric they want. It's because the previous administration had no intentions of a peace deal.

                    Stop believing these liars. They are dismantling US empire so they can sell it to themselves for pennies on the dollar. The way this mirrors the creation of an oligarchy from the ashes of the Soviet Union is quite concerning, though things like this I would suggest are motivated by racism as much as the desire to crush US soft power. Still, it's killing black kids and turning the world against the US so it's mission accomplished either way.

              @krunchymoses: The same countries that have been starving for over five decades, the same babies with AIDS being born for over four decades. Except back then both numbers were a hell of a lot lower. If you haven’t worked things out by now there isn’t much hope, but keep donating, keep sending those billions. It obviously solves the problem. Doesn’t it..

                @Foxxster: Less babies die with medications. They've stopped.

                Less people starve with USAID. That's stopped.

                Yes, they have serious ongoing issues in those areas. If you think that the decision to pause aid won't kill people that would have otherwise lived if the aid was not paused, you're objectively wrong.

    • +5

      Rest, hydration, and some nutritious (real) food — they keys to recovery!

      Protein bars are only good for giving you quick access to protein when you're not able to have real food. The same applies for protein shakes. There's otherwise nothing magic in them :-)

      • +2

        I would say protein isolate is a different class to bars.

        Its as close as you're getting to straight protein, and is one of the cheaper sources.

        I went off bars as most taste like ass and you're paying way more for shit that is 1:1 protein and fat, $$, and not healthy really at all.

        Putting WPI in milk or water creates a cheap filling protein source that you can dress up more or not at home - hence ninja creamis popularity.

        • +1

          Sure — WPI is a great way to get protein quickly, cheaply, and (unlike bars) with minimal ancillary macro-nutrients (carbs/fats).
          I'm not so sure about "filling". One of the pitfalls with shakes is that you're rarely as satiated when you drink your calories, compared to when you eat them.
          Ninja Creami on the other hand… now that's a wonderful machine. That we can agree on.

  • +5

    I'd rather by the 90g musashi bars, 40g of protein and theyre currently on special too. Not bothered about taste, protein is more important haha

    • +1

      This is obviousl for me as well. And it's 45g of protein per bar, that's 2.5 time more than the bars in yji deal.

      I only have protein bars occasionally, as they use low quality protein, are ultra processed and have a ton of filler and additives.

      • -1

        Hate to break it to you but protein powders are all ultra processed as well.

        • They are probablythe most pure top tier protein source you can get especially if you already maxed out carbs and fat. Protein bars are pretty low tier, ive stopped consuming them

        • Highly processed - yes, ultra processed - no.

          • @elektron: This is not true. Protein powders are definitely considered UP. And bars use protein powder to get the protein content. If WPI isn't UP then I don't know what is.

            • @Xastros: UP is usually characterised by industrial processing and long ingredient lists. Only protein bars fit both criteria.

    • Those are my choice too but can only buy them on special, I cant justify it for $6 a piece

  • Can these quest protein bars be left in bag or car for emergencies?

    • +1

      They can and tend to have a long shelf life. Good to pack in your bag for long trips if you're unsure about how you'll easily access protein.

  • Yuka gives them a very poor rating :(

  • I ordered some from Amazon the other day and the expiry date is about 6 months. But, you shouldn't worry about expiry, these things will be fine to eat in 5 years time
