Default Organic protein bar?

Does such a thing exist? Looking for something with low sugar content. Thanks.

the only protein bars that are worthwile besides homemade which are #1 are the DS Sustain bars and VPX Zero Impact. These have the most natural ingredients and are very well balance. VPX has slightly higher cals but is good meal replacement. I would suggest making your own with some oats, pb, whey, milk

I use 100% Greens and Whey bars. Ingredients:

Ingredients: Organic peanut butter, organic agave nectar, whey protein isolate, brown rice syrup, Biochem's raw greens blend (chlorella [cracked cell], non-GMO lecithin, apple fiber, organic alfalfa grass juice powder, organic barley juice powder, organic wheat grass juice powder, organic spirulina, brown rice germ, spinach leaf powder, broccoli powder, carrot powder, royal jelly, acerola berry juice powder, beet juice powder, green tea extract, milk thistle extract, licorice root powder, L-acidophilus, grape seed and skin extract, parsley leaf powder, billberry extract, pea powder, mixed tocopherol), organic quinoa powder.

280kcal - a bit low on protein at 20gm and the taste is well.. 'healthy' but they do the trick when I MUST have a protein bar. Most of my homemade ones are 'eh' and I've tried all the recipes. Sugar content isn't great either, 17gm. But no artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohol if that matters to you.

greens and whey are excellent bars, expensive, as are most, but they have top notch ingredients....forgot about those featherz, nice find! just make sure you get the protein version because the regular kind has little to no protein content.

I really like Organic Food Bars.... they have a "protein" variety that has 20grams. (and they are very low sugar)

BUT.... they are 320kcal (lots of nut fat), and the protein is rice. So they may or may not sound good to you, but if you're vegan, they rock.

On the other hand, Clif Builder Bars are *mostly* organic, 270kcal w/20g protein, but 30g carbs (I think sugar is not real low).

I like Greens + Protein bars. Search the forums for info on greens+, its excellent. The flavor is the bars is actually pretty good. Greens+ Protein Bar Peanut Butter and Chocolate 12/Box - Greens Plus - Best Price Nutrition
thats a random site i pulled up with the bars. You may find a better deal elsewhere. Note that they are not low carb. Somewhere between a name brand protein bar and a powerbar in terms of macros.
