Fabulous Protein Bar!

I got a sample in the mail today of a new protein bar made by Lame Advertisement (I previously bought a magnesium supplement from them, so I suppose that's why they sent the bars). Anyhow, this bar is seriously delicious and I plan to order them. And they are: gluten/lactose/soy/casein free. I just tried the coconut almond flavor, and it was just soooo good to my poor deprived palate. Seriously delicious, really!

They also sent me a sample of a chocolate one...Ibut haven't tried it yet...will do so tomorrow and report on it.

Here's the link if you are interested...apparently they have a 2 for 1 deal going now. I HAVE NO CONNECTION TO THIS COMPANY....but I've seen discussions about protein bars and I had despaired myself of finding a good one. This has 12 g protein (not as high as I'd like), but also has Omega 3's and says they are great for the immune system and sensitive stomachs.

Meanwhile, here's the link if you are interested.

sounds good, do you know how many fat grams and calories are in one bar?

I bought some larabars the other day, looked at the fat grams when I got home and was shocked at how high they are...they went right in the trash!

Go get those Lara Bars..... the reason the fat content is high is they are whole food, good fats, not bad or synthetic. They are full of nuts (depending on which one it would be walnuts, cashews, almonds, all of which are loaded with good fats your body needs).

They have no trans fats or saturated fats, they are whole foods mashed together and they are really tasty. My daughter's favorites are Cherry Pie, Apple Pie and Ginger Snap.

Enjoy.

eb,

Click on the link that cmcm provided in his post, you will see what looks like an ingredients label. I didn't see it at first myself, but it looks like a picture (it actually is a picture) of a bunch of tiny words. Click on it and it will enlarge and it is all the nutritional info.

I tried to copy it but couldn't ('cause it's a picture file). best regards, lm

Looks like they're NOT dairy-free; the ingredients include several forms of whey protein.

I called the company the bars have 8 grams of fat and 12 grams of protien. I like the Pure bar. It to contains they same amount of fat and protien ($2.00). It's a nice special treat, say.... instead of a donut. Anbody know of a lower good fat, higher protein bar?

That doesn't sound like good advice to me unless you are SEVERELY overweight. We do need fat in our diets--but not the processed garbage that is in most prepared foods.

Looks very good. What did you use instead of wheat germ...did you just omit?

Keep in mind your fats are ok, as long as they are good fats coming from a good source. You don't want to go tooooooo low in fat.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
