Vitafiber syrup/homemade quest bars

sweetteadrinker2

I've been wanting to get some vitafiber syrup and make my own questbars for those days when I just don't have time to pack lunch or need something I can eat in class. Buying the bars is out as they are so expensive($3 each) and amazon has the syrup. Has anyone done this? Do you use a mold or just pat them with your hands? Any tips or tricks, flavor combos?

Just bought some FiberYum syrup, significantly cheaper, been adding to my protein shakes/ lattes for added fiber along with sweetness. You can also make the quest bar then mold into smaller balls and bake off as "cookies".
Does anyone have any other ideas for the syrup or powder?

Following. I pay $3.49 per bar and that sucks. Would love to make my own.

Last week-end I found quest bars at a local health food store (not a nationwide chain) in my area for 2.00/bar. Lowest price I've ever seen for them ever even online. Will definitely be buying them there from now on! Sorry I don't really have recipes to offer here.

I have recently discovered quest bars and they are killing my food budget so a way to make my own would be fabulous.

Ive just found they have youtube videos on how to make them :-)

Just google "make your own quest protein bars" and you will find various recipes. I rolled them out between sheets of wax paper and cut with a knife, then wrapped each one separately before freezing them. Much cheaper than buying them.

So much cheaper than vita fiber! I think I'll buy a quart, that should make 32 bars, and I have some (albeit carby) protein powder I need to use up. I bet grahm cracker protein powder with chopped chocolate and marshmallow flavor would be excellent.

Yep just placed another order on their own site since they threw in a flyer with my amazon order....shop.rawrev.com use FiberYum coupon code for 20% off! Not affiliated, just love a good deal like managers specials in the meat department! Will be trying the powder in some baking recipes and getting some maple extract to doctor up a syrup to make protein pancakes tolerable.

Let me know how that goes! I've seen the powder on the site that sells my protein and vitamins, but there seems to be less recipes out there for the powder than for the syrup.

I wonder if you could make syrup with the powder??

I just bought from amazon, if this goes well I'll be buying the gallon or larger sizes. Planning to make some as soon as it gets here. GRRR holiday slowing down shipping.

Also, my protein powder I just got has a recipe on the back... Do you want me to snap a pic and share it out later?

What is a quest bar, and when do you eat them, a snack or a meal, or addition to a meal. Never heard of them berfore.

@Batlady49, Google it. They can be used as snacks or meal replacement, depending on size. They are good, but expensive! Am interested. To see how these turn out! And @Knitormiss, please post the recipe from your protein powder!
