      No Cow has amazing macros IMO. They’re my first choice for a bar when I am able to eat corn. The Simply Protein brand is also a super win for me macros. Be careful; they have two recipes on the market. One has oats and flax and some other extras. The Costco multipack is the least ingredient bar with the same macros.
