Luna Bars! They're usually under 200 calories, have fiber and protein, come in delicious flavors, are easy to find, and are vegan.
Snickers Marathon Low Carb- Lifestyle Energy bar (Chocolate Fudge Brownie) which have 170 calories, 15G protein 8G fiber
Perfect for workouts.
@Kasey The Luna Bar Cherry Pie flavor is one of my favorites!
@Janet, I was pleasantly surprised by the Snickers Low Carb bar - it's pretty big too.
I like Kashi's TLC chewy granola bars, they usually have 4 grams of fiber to 5 grams of sugar, and that's a lot better than anything else on the market.
I don't like how high protein, high fiber bars usually have 3 times the sugar than fiber, or have a high fiber than a lot of sugar by comparison.
Any of the "pie" flavored LaraBars. Yum!! Plus no added sugar or any kind.
For a chocolate craving, second would be Luna Nuts over Chocolate.
Odwalla berries go-mega or banana bread. Such great nutrition and fiber, a little higher in calories but low in sugar and fat. Also i adore the Cliff Z Bar - that's right, their kids bars! If you have a sweet tooth they are a great afternoon snack that's actually incredibly healthy. Thanks!
Luna bars are delicious and dense, but I also like nutty KIND bars.
The Kashi Crunch bars make a perfect snack or mini meal and are delicious! I particularly like the coffee cake flavor!
I like the Target brand Strawberry yogurt bars. They're cheap, but tasty, and fairly nutritious. I can't buy more than one at a time though, or else I eat them all at once.
I love clif bars!.. the ones with chocolate and pb. so yummy and sweet!
My faves are Clif bars and the Kashi chewy dark chocolate cherry. Can't go wrong there!
Is that free as in 'free speech' or free beer? Sorry couldn't resist..
Kashi GoLean Chewy Malted Milk bars. Flavour and texture are unreal. The tragic thing is I'm from Canada and have to cross the border to stock up.
i'm a zone bar fanatic. everyday during the week for lunch it's dark chocolate & almond or blueberry zone bars!
I have to admit, I've never tried Gnu bars. Might have to seek those out. My faves are Clif bars. Little higher in calorie, but not terrible, and a great solid snack or light meal in an emergency (i.e. when I don't want to eat fast food and have no other options)
I love Larabars, especially for running, because they're so tiny that they don't sit in my stomach and make me feel sick.
I love oatmeal raisin Luna Bars
I love the new Clif Bar Minis--perfect for a pre-workout snack! I also love the Gnu (Cinnamon Raisin is the best flavor!) bar for a snack in the afternoon--it helps to keep me satisfied until dinner.
I second the vote for the Snickers Marathon Low-Carb bars---how they fit all of the yumminess into a 170-calorie, good-for-you bar is beyond comprehension.
I've never tried Gnu bars before, but I think I'll have to look for them soon! I really like Luna bars, especially the Lemon Zest for its tang. The Zone Perfect bars in Fudge Graham and Cinnamon Roll are also good.
Larabars are so yummy!
Clif bars! They are not glorified candy bars. The nutrition is right on w/ respect to protein, carbs, fiber and respectable amount of sugar. They flavors are wholesome and delicious!!
I am also a big fan of Gnu Bars. But at 1.69 a piece at TJ's, I rarely buy them. I'm a sucker for high-fiber ANYTHING. I've been buying Target's version of Fiber One bars for $1.75 on sale. Gnu bars are a lot better though, since they don't give me the farts.
I absolutely love Gnu bars. I have one every single day for my afternoon snack. I love all the flavors except peanut butter. My favorites are definitely orange cranberry & cinnamon raisin =] im going to college soon & Gnu bars will be the perfect healthy snack in between classes!
Luna Chai Latte bar
I love Balance Bars! My fav for the moment are the Chocolate Almond Sweet & Salty Nut...yum!
i also love balance bars! there are so many types and they even have some fiber, 3 grams.
also another favorite is the Special K meal bar at either 170 or 180 calories and i believe 5 grams fiber! :) yum! yum! yum!

Most of the Kashi TLC Chewy and Kashi TLC Crunchy Bars!
I love Luna and Lara bars. They're full of good ingredients. The Lara bars are great to throw in my bag to eat after my long Saturday runs, since I usually have to drive back home after the run.
Powerbar Peanut Butter - they are the only ones that satisfy me after one bar - most others I crave more!
Cliff Z Bars! Especially the chocolate brownie flavor...mmmmm...
I enjoy South Beach Diets Sweet Nut Creations bars. Or the peanut butter bars. A box of five bars is usually on sale for $3.00 at your local Safeway/Ralphs store. The nut medley bars are 150 calories, 7g sugar, 3g fiber, and 6g protein. They also make cereal bars in peanut butter (the best in my opinion), chocolate, maple, and cranberry, and cinnamon/raisen (tastes like a cinnamon roll, i swear!) The cereal bars are 10 calories less, and are pretty close in nutritional value to the nut medley bars. I haven't been able to find any other type of cereal bar on the market that has that high of protein, fiber, and such low calories and sugar. They are small, portable, and make a great snack in between meals.
LARABARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
I love lunas and odwallas. especially the lemon luna and the spirulina odwalla, can't remember what it's called, because it tastes healthy.

Love the caramel FiberOne bar. And chocolate chip ClifZ bars (marketed as a "kids" bar, but oh so good.)
Definitely Luna Bars. I love every flavor!
I also love (most) Luna bars--in fact, the variety clinches it for me. Close runners-up are the Clif Mojo mountain mix and Kashi Crunch in chocolate almond.
Larabars are amazing! They have a stellar ingredient list (short list & all ingredients are recognizable), plus they taste great. My current favorite is the peanut butter cookie. Yum!
I love the Kind Fruit+Nut Bars --especially the almond coconut.
fiber one bars (the chocolatey ones). YUM!
I love Clif Bars
Mmm, there are too many to choose from. I like the Luna Bars in S'mores, Lemon Crisp and Chocolate Raspberry, the Kashi GoLean Crunchy Bar in Chocolate Caramel, and Clif Z Bars in Honey Graham and Chocolate Brownie. :P
I love Luna Bars, but my recent favorites have been the Fiber One bars :) So tasty!
Powerbars - Mocha
Luna bars in chocolate pecan pie, smores, and cookies and creme.. but I love the chocolate fiber one bars too!
Definitely Odwalla Carrot-raisin bars. They may be small, but they are DELICIOUS!!
Kashi Go Lean Crunchy Chocolate Caramel. Moderate in calories and keep you going forever!
South Beach 100 calorie peanut butter chocolate chip bars. I so WW and at 2 pts they make a good snack.
Quaker Chewy Granola bars, especially the chocolate chip flavor--just 100 calories each! I get a 48-pack at Sam's Club, and it doesn't last too long.
The Luna Dulce De Leche flavor - they're so good for you and so utterly sweet and decadent. Love them!
Do Vitatops count as bars? They have loads of fiber and some protein, plus are 100 calories or less. I love them!
My favorites are Odwalla and the Kashi rolls (can't remember exact name!!).
My favorite are Kashi Chewy Oatmeal Raisin bars...they're amazing and don't taste gritty or have anything bad about them!
My favorite bar to snack on is a GNU bar, my favorite healthy in pinch meal repalcement is a LaraBar.
Favorite for snacking is Gnu bar. Favorite for meal replacement in a pinch is LaraBar
I love the Kashi TLC chewy dark chocolate cherry. It is delicious with protein and fiber!
Pure Protein bars! Yum! The cookie dough flavor!!
Mmmm I love Luna Bars! My favorite flavors are caramel nut brownie, cookies and cream, iced oatmeal raisin, and pb cookie!
Lara Bars and Jocolat; no contest. The ingredients are simple and minimal, and the flavors are just as pure - no isolates and fructose here! The Cashew Cookie and Banana ones are to die for.
I love Chocolite protein bars or Larabars or Balance bars!
I recently tried the Gnu bars and LOVE them. They are high in fiber and they are very very filling. (banana walnut is great!) However if I am craving something sweet, there is NOTHING like a chocolate raspberry LUNA Bar!

Zone dark chocolate and almond bars. They are delicious and quite filling!
Cliff Z Bars! Healthy brownie/cookie bar. Does it get any better? I think not.
Somehow, someway, the noshing gurus at Kashi created a delicious, chewy, crunchy, craveworthy treat that keeps you full from the fiber and protein while keeping you happy with chewy granola, crunchy nuts, perfect sweetness and no mystery ingredients! I think I'll go have one now...
I am head over heals inlove with Snicker's Marathon Nutrition Bars, the honey almond flavor preferably.
These bars are not only low-cal compared to their protein conterparts, but they taste amazing.
Any food product with the word "Snickers" in it claiming to be healthy will turn my head.
The bars themselves actually taste like a Snicker's bar, too! The base is a granola/sticky type texture, while the bottom is coated in luscious chocolate. Also, there's a goodly amount of almonds dispearsed throughout the bar.
Each of these nutrtional lifesavors weighs in at 150 calories, 4.5 grams of fat, 7 grams of fiber, and 11 grams of protein. Even better, these bars are fortified to the max with vitamins and minerals, including an astounding 60% of your daily calcium needs!
So to say the least, these are my favorite nutrition bars by a long shot. Although South Beach Diet bars would finish second place, followed by Pure Protein bars.
I'm dying to try Cliff Z bars though!
I adore chocolate brownie cliff bars for a dessert-type treat and ANY flavor fiber one bar for an emergency pick-me-up when I'm around town.

Kashi honey almond flax are awesome. They are super filling! And the nutrition cn't be beat, 7g protein and like 5g fiber for only 150 calories. Yes please!
Larabar key lime pie or cocoa mole. Heavy on the calories but gives me plenty of energy.
Toss up between Clif bar in Carrot Cake and Larabar in Cocoa Mole!
My favorite is the Think Thin Creamy Peanut Butter.
Gnu bar, chocolate brownie!! They are awesome, jam packed with fiber, chewing, chocolaty, but without being overly sweet. You cannot beat these if you're looking for more fiber.
I like RenewLife Lemon Zest or Ginger Spice bars. They're about 180 calories, but have very little fat, are loaded with fiber and have no preservatives or additives.
Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Bars. Only 140 calories,3 grams of fat, 9 grams of fiber, and only 2 WW points. Very filling and very good.

GNU and Lara are great bars, but have you tried the Kardea bars. Two are vegan, all four vegetarian, 150 calories, 7g protein, 7g fiber, 1g plant sterols, all four vegetarian, two vegan, lower glycemic sweetening approach (agave and brown rice syrup)....and formulated to better enable heart healthy and a cholesterol management life style. If interested, I would be glad to send you a taste sample. Let me know at rleighton@kardeanutrition.com
I love my mid-day snack, especially in between classes so I had to find the right one that was tasty and nutritious. My new all-time favorite is the Organic Fiber Bars by Renew Life. The Cranberry craze flavor is my favorite, they contain 14grams of fiber!! That's over half (56%) the daily RDA of fiber plus they're non-dairy and non-soy, as well as GMO and gluten-free. I have a sweet tooth and that bar definately cures it, it's so filling- I eat it piece by piece so I can finish the whole thing. Such a yummy treat and my favorite part is that it's so healthy! :)
I recently bought Kashi Go Lean Crunch Chocolate Pretzel bar, and I loved it! It was so yummy! Yesterday I just bought a Luna Caramel Nut Brownie Bar and I am going to try it today, sounds good, but I really hope it tastes good!!!
Kay, so...it's between the Luna White Choc. Mac. and the Almond and Apricot KIND bar...LOVE THEM
