    If you email them on their website, they will send you 2 free bars (whatever kind you'd like) for free so you can sample them. Great company!

    Stick them in the oven at 350 degrees for 3 minutes and they puff up a bit and taste kinda like a cookie

    I eat my cookie dough ones straight out of the fridge. It's like eating raw dough. I can only have one per week though, I'm sensitive to that fiber they put in it.

    I LOVE Quest Bars! I actually have them for "breakfast". They are high protein, low calorie/sugar/net carb and they taste really good. Some of my favorite flavors are the s'mores, chocolate chip cookie dough, cookies and cream, white chocolate raspberry, double chocolate chunk, and chocolate brownie. I also recently discovered that microwaving some of the flavors makes them even better! Yum!

    The hype behind them lies in the fact that they have only 3g net carbs and 21g of protein! Well, the chocolate chip cookie dough ones anyway. They are a fantastic bar to grab for on the go or if I’m feeling lazy on lunch.

    A highly processed candy bar, yum. Make one yourself, because cheaper.

    What about them are highly processed.

    Can someone please get me up to speed on what Quest Bars are and what are their benefits?

    They're basically a Snickers bar with a bit of protein powder mixed in. Tasty, sure, so if that's your thing...have at it.

    Personally I don't find them even remotely filling, but that's going to be a personal thing.

    They are pretty rubbish - Dont know what all the hype is about but ive bought about 8 boxes now and i dont enjoy them much at all.

    Only eat them when i need a fiber boost and protein.

    But i can get that just as easy from chickpeas and lentils and real meat.

    Microwaved they are rubbish.

    I dont mind them in the fridge of freezer for a while so nice and hard.

    Cant beat real food.

    The only good thing about them i see is if you want a candy bar, have this is a good replacement


    Also no truth if they are actually low carb.

    Several of them taste fantastic, they don't make my blood sugar spike, they fit my macros, my stomach isn't bothered by the sweetener, and they keep me full between meals. Pretty much a win all around.

    The cookie dough and white chocolate raspberry are my favorites. I threw the lemon and apple pie ones in the garbage. (I have friends with the exact opposite opinion, so I recommend trying a variety pack if possible)

    For purchasing, I have a GNC membership and wait for a 10% off coupon to stock up. Holiday weekends are good for those.

    Yeah usually $5.25 each. My supplement store could have done me a deal of $42 for 12, but they had run out of the flavours i wanted! :angry:

    You must not be in the US. I mean, they're expensive here but not that bad.
