Special K - Protein Meal Replacement Bars —

Anyone who has tried using meal replacement bars can understand why I was somewhat skeptical to try yet another brand. Most bars either taste like cardboard (or something worse) or seem to actually make you hungrier after you eat them. Despite my unpleasant past with meal replacement bars, I decided to give Special K Protein Bars a go anyway. I'm so glad I did.

There are a bunch of flavors, but my favorite so far is the Chocolate Peanut Butter one. I think not all the flavors are created equal, so if you try a flavor you don't like, make sure to try another. I like them because they take a while to eat. Typically, when I can eat something in 30 seconds, I immediately look around to what I'm going to eat next. There's a lot of substance to the Special K Protein Bars, so I start feeling full before I'm even halfway done with it. And it actually keeps me full. Really. On days where I feel particularly lazy and don't feel like making a lunch to take to work, I'll eat a bar for breakfast and a bar for lunch and I'm fine until dinner. The only downer? I go through them pretty quickly and they're somewhat expensive on a college student's budget (about $7/box or so). Other than that, they're my new favorite go to breakfast to go.

I like these and have a stash of a few different brands of bars to grab and go. I tend to completely skip meals then feel awful so I eat a protein or cereal bar and avoid that feeling.
