    I just tried them for the first time a couple days ago, based on suggestions online I tried the white chocolate raspberry and it wasn't horrible but that's not enough to make me keep buying/eating them. It could be that I just lost my taste for any protein bars. I used to eat Luna protein bars all the time and one day grabbed a cookie dough one and couldn't finish it.

    I still like Quest bars. My favorites are the cookies and cream, banana nut, and the new new chocolate chip cookie dough.

    I used to like the cinnamon roll but it seems the taste changed with the latest formula.

    The only one I like is the Mint chocolate chip. But I just found a bar that is actually delicious. Supreme Protein Caramel Nut Chocolate. I swear it was like eating a candy bar. 200 calories, 15g Protein, 11g Carb, 8g Fat. Little high on the calories/fat, but as an occasional treat pretty tasty.

    Those look SO good. I'll definitely give these a try.

    I heard they were wonderful. I spit it out, first bite. It was beyond terrible.

    Exactly the same here!

    I spat out the first bite and threw the rest in the bin.

    It was a Quest chocolate brownie bar.

    I've only tried white chocolate raspberry... blech!

    Yeah, I agree that flavour is blech! Way too sweet and artificial tasting for me.

    Heh, that's one of my three favorite flavors (and I only like 5). But I already knew that I'm super tolerant of fake sugar, as I prefer diet coke to any "real" soda, and I enjoy Zevia and flavored waters (with artificial sweeteners).

    I thought Quest bars were weirdly overrated the first time I had one, as I hated the texture. They weirdly grew on me, and there are some I like a lot.

    I DON'T KNOW YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO SPEND $2 ON ONE AND TRY IT FOR YOURSELF. MAYBE GO ALL OUT AND SPEND $10 AND BUY 5 DIFFERENT ONES. THEN YOU CAN DECIDE ONE OF THREE THINGS:
    • THEY ARE AS GOOD AS YOU'VE BEEN TOLD
    • THEY ARE BETTER THAN YOU'VE BEEN TOLD
    • THEY ARE NOT AS GOOD AS YOU'VE BEEN TOLD

    I HOPE YOU HAVE FOUND THIS HELPFUL GOOD LUCK!

    I actually prefer mine blended into a smoothie that has frozen banana and raspberries so it goes cold. I like the texture and it feels like eating decadent ice cream. That said, I only like 3 out of the flavours
    if I was going to blend them I would just use protien powder...but havent tried it so I wont knock it lol
    Which 3 flavors?

    I use protein powder too. My diary is open if you want to see my smoothie combo.

    I like double choc chunk, mint choc and the white choc and raspberry is my favourite.

    As someone mentioned about them not blending well, I like the texture it brings to the smoothie, hence my comment about it being like an ice cream

    Do the Quest bars blend smooth or chunky? I would have thought you'd have little chunks floating around in there??

    Little chunks of yumminess!

    I bought a few to try, heard they were amazing. They were horrible. I couldn't finish any of them. It wasn't overly sweet to me it just tasted horrible.

    I enjoyed Luna bars and Promax bars.

    I have tried several and the only Quest thing I can tolerate in the peanut butter cups. They are dry but but in a pinch they work.

    Try making your own. Here's my recipe for quest bars, which is pretty close to the original:
    1 rectangle old cardboard
    1 cup sacrificial orangutan blood
    3 oz. industrial agricultural waste by-products
    1 laxative suppository (melted)
    Stevia and whey protein powder to taste

    Blend and enjoy!

    I love them if I microwave them for about 10-15 sec. Otherwise I don't like the texture.

    I liked the coconut cashew a lot. Pretty expensive though, and I was kind of binging on them.... So I couldn't buy more. I haven't tried these since any formula change

    you can go to their website and click on contact and ask for samples. they will let you pick 2 different flavors to try and mail them to you. I like the smores one but that was about the only one I liked of the 5 kinds I've tried

    I like Quest bars, but I love Power Crunch bars! They have the consistency of a kit-kat bar, and the flavors are good.

    I ate them for a while, texture is like eating dried up toothpaste..so bizarre and afterwards felt like someone was stabbing me in the gut. I eat Combat Crunch bars now and they are absolutely amazing.
