    They have a new flavor coming out next week. Cookies and Cream. can't wait to try.
    I like the Chocolate Rasberry and Cinnebon one the best so far.

    Thanks for the intel, Time to make another order.

    My food cost per month was good until I discovered Quest Bars, now I have one every day and am addicted to them hah. Favorite is CCCD, but I also like PB&J, DDC, and WCR. I preordered a box of Cookies and Cream and cannot wait to try it next week.

    I was eating one a day when I realized I was eating them for the sweet flavor/craving and not for the protein. Decided to cut back and just have one after my long runs (6 to 11 miles). Go back to eating them for protein and not a craving fix.

    Love, love, love the chocolate chip cookie dough. My other favorites are the white chocolate raspberry and double chocolate chunk. :love:

    I have started eating one every afternoon at work. It helps me get my protein and fiber for the day. I don't eat them on the weekends.

    ME TOO, but recently I've been cutting them in half and find that's just as good getting me through the afternoon

    I like the white chocolate raspberry except for the seeds. Also like cookie dough, double choc. chunk, lemon cream pie and strawberry cheesecake.

    I can't eat them without microwaving them, though.

    I have a hard time getting enough fiber, so that is the main reason I use them.

    5/week (breakfast M-F)

    My favorite flavors are: Mixed Berry, Strawberry Cheesecake, Vanilla Almond, PB&J and Banana Nut Muffin.
    I don't like the Peanut Butter Supreme or Chocolate Chunk. The texture is gritty and weird.

    They don't have artificial sweeteners as far as I know, but I understand if you don't like the taste... although the flavor makes a huge difference to me.

    i think some of them contain sucralose which is an artificial sweetener - splenda is sucralose

    I'll admit sometimes that sucralose flavor really shines through, not in a good way either. Not to the point of turning me off of them though.

    They're better in the toaster oven at about 300°F for a few minutes.

    Well, I don't have a toaster oven..........

    Haven't tried the PB&J yet. People do seem to like it.

    I tried a few flavors, I'm not much of a sweets person so I wasn't a fan. As soon as they come out with quest protein potato chips I'm in!!

    3-4 a week. Usually my snack between breakfast & lunch or lunch & dinner. Hold me over pretty good.
    I usually stock up when GNC.com has their 30% off sales.

    They totally melt and stick to the paper here. It sucks.

    I'm surprised at the mention of GNC 30% sales though... Every time I've seen those, they jack up the prices of Quest bars so it's the same $25 as usual in the end.

    I don't buy from GNC. By the time you pay the membership fee, you're not saving anything.

    I envy you not being a sweets person! I love both sweets and chips!

    I got it for free, lol.

    And yeah, eating protein is easier when you're not a sweets person :p

    Sometimes they don't. You just have to watch each sale. The last sale they had I got a 3 box variety pack for $54 shipped, and I'm not a gold card member. Not bad if I say so myself!

    What's so horrible about the ingredients....?

    Chocolate Brownie Quest Bar:
    Protein Blend (Whey Protein Isolate, Milk Protein Isolate), Isomalto-Oligosaccharides* (100% Prebiotic Fiber) Almonds, Cocoa, Water, Natural Flavors, Sea Salt, Lo Han Guo, Sucralose

    Besides the sucralose, which isn't a high concentration, most everything on that list is pronounceable and almost everyone recognizes the ingredients (maybe not Lo Han Guo, which is an exotic fruit-derived sweetener and Isomalto-Oligosaccharides, which is a prebiotic plant fiber)

    I typically eat them maybe 6x per week, sometimes I only eat half. I treat them as a dessert, but I really use them to boost up my protein after working out . I am a chocoholic, honestly, I love anything with sugar. We all know that sugar does not really help in weight loss so I've tried to give it up as much as possible. These are a good substitute for candy bars, cookies etc at least for me. I love the double chocolate chunk, and the cinnamon roll. They are a very expensive habit to get into. But when I look at it like this: I buy 2 boxes a month (they usually last me a little longer than a month but for math's sake) 2 boxes per month x 12 bars per box = 24 bars. It ends up costing roughly $2.25 per bar. That is less expensive than 3 doughnuts from the grocery store bakery, 1 package of cookies, 1 roll of refrigerated cookie dough, one box of freezer turnovers, etc. And it is 10x more nutritious and filling and have tons of protein and fiber :). So for me the $50 a month (roughly) is a much better option!

    I agree totally on the cost being worth it. If the protein and fiber help my health, and keep me from eating something less healthy instead, then it is worth it.

    Never, I saw so much about them on here and got my gym to get them. Yuck, too much artificial sweetener taste.

    Similar. "Once" - my wife said "I never want to taste anything like that ever again".

    Exactly. I got a free one, and threw it away after a couple bites. It was disgusting! Never again, I say!

    As someone who's pretty sensitive to the artificial sweetener flavor, I think a lot of them are tolerable (like the apple pie and strawberry cheese I don't even notice it in), but some, like the Double Chocolate Chunk taste so much like artificial sweetener they make me a little nauseated.
