    I just bought a few this weekend. The cookies and cream, peanut butter and chocolate ones are alright, but I didn't think it was the best thing ever. I just ate the peanut butter cups for breakfast and it was gross. So chalky and I felt like I needed a power washer to get it unstuck from the roof of my mouth.

    I love them - some flavors more than others, but I don't think any are horrible. I have at least 1 a day except when I run out. High fiber, high protein, reasonable fat, low sugar. So many other bars are high in sugar. I buy an assortment on Amazon and I consider them a daily treat.

    I haven't found one that I liked yet. I think they are pretty gross. Great macros for people who have trouble hitting their fiber though. I don't so that part is unimportant to me. I prefer Pure Protein for the price point and taste.

    Wow...I'm in the minority here. I think they are awful. They have no texture and every bar starts to taste the same. I bought 6, ate 4 and threw the last two away. There are so many more things I could enjoy for the 200 calories.

    Tried the raspberry white chocolate one ... its damn tasty!
    About as good as a balanced snack ... 17g of carbs, 20g of protein and only 1g of sugar! Great for a boost and worth the money!

    Banging them out at roughly $18 a box... and yes legit seller. (not me)

    I use them all the time! Good way to fit them in a pinch when there isn't a Chipotle nearby :)

    What is the seller?! Best I can find is $25/box.

    I think any protein bar is kind of an acquired taste. Usually takes me a few to get used to any brand. But if you didn't like any of the 4, you probably never will.

    They're great, but Pure Protein bars are cheaper and to me taste better. Also, they are more readily available at stores like Target and Walmart. I can't live without my Pure Protein bar for breakfast!

    Same here, but the fiber from Quest bars really makes a difference to me.

    Hm, never actually considered that. I was kind of sad that the pure protein has no fiber at all, but I didn't realize that quest has 17g of fiber. That would be awesome! Hm, maybe I should think about ordering some...

    I would wait til Monday and see if they have another Cyber Monday sale on the Quest site. They have different sample packs, so you can try more than one flavor. I didn't love them right away, but they grew on me. Apple Pie was really the only one I've tried that I didn't like. I agree with Pure Protein, even though it doesn't have the 17g of fiber. Their salted caramel and chocolate peanut caramel are my favorites.

    I've got a friend who works in a GNC, so he uses his discount to get me some ^.^

    I love them. Yeah, it's got that protein bar taste, but it's so dang tasty. I use them like dessert some days.

    I got some with apple pie flavour this summer. Utterly disgusting. Rest of them went into the bin ...

    I'm not crazy about them, but they are a good way to get protein in.

    Oooh, that's a great idea! Hm, wonder if bodybuilding will have any sales too (although I'm calling my limit at 5 tubs of protein powder...).

    auddii, have you tried the protein powder yet? I want to (actually I'm waiting for the brown rice protein powder and/or sampler packs of the ones already out) but if the price is right....
