Does anyone know where I can get reasonably priced, good, protein bars? I ask because I refuse to pay £3 a pop for them at GNC, and I don't like travelling with suspicious looking white/cream powder portioned up in folded white paper!
Hi Multi I buy mine from Tesco. They're called Perfect Balance - 21g protein, 20g carbs. They are whey protein and come in vanilla or chocolate orange. They are from memory £1.20 each. The website is www.bio-synergy.co.uk - they are priced there at £36.00 for box of 24!
Multi, there's a shop near Embankment tube which has a good range, including the Perfect Balance stuff. You can also get a gold card for there which gives you 20% off.
Holland & Barrett store on the same block as well.
High Five have an offer on at the moment, buy one box, get on free. Their protein recovery bars cost £32.25 for 25, with the offer you'd get 50 for £48.38. There would be delivery charges too obviously.
From memory, Shirl, the protein recovery bars are the ones priced at about £32, the 'sports' bars (carbs and protein) are about £24. Try looking again by price and you might see them. (Their website is not a great model of e-commerce, is it?)

Thanks for High-% tip. Can't believe how much cheaper it all is!
Just received my second wod of stuff!
Cheers.
Individual High5 bars are a quid each. By the time you've added postage to the web offers - it's the cheapest source around.
If you come out of Embankment tube to the north, turn left immediately (under the bridge) and it's there on your right.
And the GO isotonic gels are a quid too.
Obviously looking at my card would be a start but that's too logical.
======
25 Sports bars = £24.25
order another box and get it for £12.00.
50 bars for £36.25 (+ approx £3 pp) = 78.5p each.
25 Protein bars = £32.25
order another box and get it for £16.00.
50 bars for £48.25 (+ approx £3 pp) = £1.02 each.
Plus on both of my orders I got about £5 worth of 'freebies'/sample pack!

(Sorry, can't do the hyperlinks thingie!)
No need to thank me yet, it's all part of the service.
They do vanilla, banana and another flavour I think, only 85p.
But as other have hinted, the protein they contain really isn't any different to that in tuna, chicken, kidney beans etc.
I occasionally have them as a convenient snack.
sheesh - have you started growing manboobs yet??
