Quest are very low carb, but I don't really care for the taste.

I really like the Think Thin bars.

Where can I find these!?!
I hate the taste of quest bars...

Same here. To me they are too sweet, not in a good way and have an odd taste. I can never eat a full bar since I can't stand the taste.

I have tried the Quest bars , they are fullfilling and have a lot of protein and less suger than most protein bars I've had in the past. The Luna bars are great to...

Pure Protein and Premier Nutrition Protein bars at Costco are also pretty good.

I buy them at Target. I also don't like the taste of Quest bars.

I also buy Luna Protein bars. They have less protein (12g) but I really enjoy them.

I really enjoy both Quest and Luna bars. Quest bars are a pretty delicious way to pack more protein into your day. I only eat Luna bars as a treat because they're just not as macro friendly, but--my god--they are so delicious.

Price is not a prohibitive factor for me at all. What healthier option do you recommend?

Good to know. I drink Premier Protein's premixed chocolate and vanilla protein shakes all the time, and I've been eyeballing the bars. I'm just real hesitant to buy a box of protein bars because I don't want to waste any money on gross tasting products.

The Nature Valley bars have the same number of calories, half the protein, almost 3x the fat, 3x the sugar, and a third of the fibre.

But, yes, they are cheaper.

Pretty sure I saw the Think Thin ones at Walmart, in a display in the pharmacy (near the protein section).

I love Quest Bars. They help me meet my protein and fiber goals and make a nice snack or a quick breakfast.

Are there any other bar of this caliber that are less expensive? Or close to?

Pure Protein bars are close if you don't care about the fiber. Since I get my fiber elsewhere, the fiber portion is moot to me.

My supervisor, who is a dietitian, recommends them. They have relatively simple ingredients

Ummm, Quest Bars have the same amount of calories, but less fat and more protein than the Nature Valley bars posted...just an FYI.

I'm not a fan of Quest bars as I think they are too pricey for what you get and I haven't found one that I like the taste of.

They have a great macro breakdown though for a nutrition bar.

Yes, all foods are healthy in the right scenario, including these.

This. I was so tempted on buying a few the other day, but then noticed how expensive they are... shame too as I've always wanted to try one.

I've also heard a common consensus that the cinnamon roll and cookies and cream are their best flavors. I'll stick to my Greek yogurt or Fiber One brownies, thanks.

I haven't tried Quest bars yet but I'm in love with Clif bars, crunchy peanut butter.

I think Nature Valley Protein bar are the best bang for your buck. It's still classified as having high protein and low sugar for a protein bar and you can get it at a regular store.

I eat a quest bar chocolate chip cookie dough every day as part of lunch (delicious!) My primary macro concern was as much protein for my calorie bang as possible. Pure protein is similar, but not as tasty to me and higher in carbs and sugar if I remember correctly. Obviously a protein shake could give me a higher protein per calorie ratio but I prefer the act of chewing. So that's where I am at. All the cheap bars have half the protein for the same calories.

Pure Protein are under a buck a piece and have better macros. Just letting you know. They can be gotten at Target.

On their main page go to contact us. Fill out your name and email. In the comments put that you would like to request a free sample. They will email you back and tell you which flavors you can pick from and ask for your address

The other bars suggested dont have as good macros. Quest is usually 170 for 20g protein. Additionally, they use whey protein and dont rely on lower quality protein sources (collagen, soy, milk, etc.) which have a lower bioavailability.

I think quest bars are an excellent choice as far as protein bars go.

they do have some with erithrytol and some with lo han go, stevia, and sucralose (splenda).

I dont understand the question though. "healthy" how?

The apple pie quest bars and cookies and cream are good, extremely filling @ 17-18 grams of fiber and 20+ grams of protein

I love Quest bars! High protein, high fiber, low sugar, and taste great! I also love their protein chips! The BBQ flavor is my favorite!!
