Any alternatives to Lenny & Larry's protein cookies out there?

[fshepherd23]

My boyfriend is trying to find a yummy vegan protein bar. He really enjoys the Lenny & Larry ones, but they upset his stomach. He's found some other people that have the same problem, but can't find anything online about what ingredient could be causing it.

Does anyone have the same issues and know what ingredient it is? Or do you have any protein bars similar that you enjoy?

@fshepherd23 No Cow bars! I used to hate them but I've grown to love them lol. Chocolate Fudge one, microwaved for 10 seconds is delish & they have 21g protein!

@choinggam Yep this is what I was going to say! Cookie dough is my fav

 

[fshepherd23]

@choinggam Hah, like the microwave tip! Never would've thought of that, I'll pass it along. Thanks!!

 

[choinggam]

@fshepherd23 microwave ALL protein bars, it makes such a difference! no prob!

@fshepherd23 Nugo! They have a slim version with like 3g sugar, 18c, 18p but the normal not-slim versions just taste like a straight-up chocolate bar

@leafbyniggle Those are the BEST!!!

 

[fshepherd23]

@leafbyniggle Yum! That sounds awesome!

@fshepherd23 CLIF protein bars are goooooooood. Peanut butter fudge!!

 

[fshepherd23]

@chelseabeth Yes!! I love the white chocolate and macadamia one! He's a weirdo and doesn't like them though :/
Oh well, guess I have to handle the burden of eating all the cliff bars!

 

[chelseabeth]

@fshepherd23 Their PROTEIN bars are actually different than their regular ones! They are thicker and chocolate covered and delicious

 

[fshepherd23]

@chelseabeth Oh! That makes sense, there seem to be so many kinds now! We'll have to try them!

 

[outtaluck]

@chelseabeth They're not vegan? Whey protein I thought?

 

[chelseabeth]

@outtaluck Their Builder’s bars are vegan, but they do have some which have whey protein. They are easy to distinguish, however, because the literal name is CLIF’s whey protein bars.

@fshepherd23 It took me months to figure out that chicory root really upsets my stomach. Sometimes it's labeled as inulin. Hope that helps.

 

[fshepherd23]

@dawn16 Thank you! That helps a lot, we'll have to experiment and see if that's it.

@fshepherd23 I have the same experience with some of L&L stuff, I love their flavor, but if I eat the whole thing I have (a minor) upset.. maybe sugar alcohols? I dunno.

I love these GoMacro:

also Good Greens:

and finally Vega:

I tend to keep boxes of these in the office as emergency rations

save me one!

 

[fshepherd23]

@trungnghia93 Thank you! I'll point him towards these!

 

[dawn16]

@fshepherd23 have you tried cliff?

 

[fshepherd23]

@dawn16 No! I didn't realize they made protein bars, will definitely give it a go!
