    I love Quest bars. I'm a big fan of the chocolate flavored ones (chocolate brownie, double chocolate chunk)

    BINGO :heart:

    I often have a Quest bar as "breakfast" (3 hours after I actually get up) at work. Higher fiber and protein than most. My fave is the coconut cashew but if they ever came out with a pumpkin variety... might become lunch and dinner too, lol.

    I eat Larabars for snacks. I only like the peanut butter cookie and cashew cookie ones. I used to eat Quest Bars and Balance Bars. Let's just say I tend to overeat these little suckers. Still working on being satisfied with just one per day. lol

    I love Vanilla Power Crunch bars, but I absolutely refuse to fool myself into thinking they're anything but a low carb cookie bar.

    I always have Quest, Cliff, and Lara sitting around. I only use them for on the go. I prefer to eat whole foods vs processed bars. But sometimes you are running late or will be away from the house all day and it's better than grabbing fast food! Lara actually are very "clean" with 3-5 ingredients you can pronounce. But since it is all fruit they are high in calories and sugar. They make for fantastic snacks between soccer games. Super easy to digest.

    Just try to avoid using them as meal replacements and having like 4 a day.

    I only eat food in bar form. When you concentrate food, you unleash its awesome power I'm told.

    Yes.

    And I have an unholy passion for clif builder bars (but only specific flavors... mint, peanut butter chocolate, s'mores, cookies & cream, etc).

    I love the chocolate double chunk Quest bars. I microwave the bar and then eat it with apple slices, usually a fuji apple. The combination is oh so good!

    I have wanted to try the Julian Bakery Protein Bars. They are about $3.00 each though. They have one that is apparently glazed doughnut flavored.

    If protein bars aren't food, what are they then ?? :neutral_face:

    Rectangular food-like substances?

    I see some of them as food--for example, Kind bars. Others are so processed that they are really candy.

    I rarely eat them--they have more sugar than I can handle. I also have a hard time not consuming too many when they come in multi-packs.

    I've just discovered Nakd bars (in the UK, not sure if they are elsewhere). They are raw, vegan, and contain only a few natural ingredients (not that I'm vegan or anything but a good option for people who are). They are freakin' delicious. The cashew cookie one is just cashews and dates, but seriously amazing. They aren't super high on protein or anything, but they have some, and are a great bar to eat after a workout, or with a salad for lunch.

    I'm addicted to chocolate brownie quest bars. Microwaved for 8 seconds makes them taste even better.

    Quest is the bomb! IMO they're the best out there content wise. High in fat but there's got to be a trade off somewhere.

    Favourites so far: cookie dough, raspberry & white choc and the oreo type one. Great supplement but expensive. Need to find an alternative or this Quest habit is going to break the bank :(

    I was really excited to find Quest bars in Denmark, they are expensive but were on a special deal. I tried four flavours and I think they taste ok, definitely fix my sweet tooth but mostly i was impressed with the protein and fibre count for around 200 calories. I am out with my family today and we are visiting a fancy coffee shop with amazing cakes, I plan to sneak a Quest in and just have a cappuccino and save hundreds of calories!

    I'm a bit disappointed that I haven't seen chocolate chip or brownie, we seem to have the more fancy flavours like white chocolate and raspberry and peanut butter and chocolate (peanut butter is not so common here like in the US.)
