To quest or not to quest?

Honeycat89

never tried quest bars they look awesome!! What do you think? Are they as good as they look? Worth ordering them to the uk? And which are the best flavours?

Thanks

YES!!! I love them. Cookies N Cream is by far the best one. It's got white chocolate chunks and I throw it in the microwave for 8-10 seconds and it tastes like a warm gooey treat, but it also fills me up!

If you don't quest, you're never going to get your XP up and hit that next level.

i've tried them and they tasted like sawdust, but those that like them seem to really love them.

Quest bars are awesome! I love the cashew coconut & chocolate brownie. Cookies and cream & vanilla almond are good too. You do have to microwave them for about 10 sec which I have found eliminates the sugar alcohol taste. By far the best protein bar out there!

I like them. The numbers on them (protein, fat, calories etc) are great. But it is hit or miss depending on taste. And it does seem that it's one of the cases of "you either like them or you don't, no in between". I recommend the cookies and cream one also.

I think you're going to have to find a way to get a bar or two to try and see if you like them to determine if it's worth it.

Yes! I love the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough best. The cookies and cream is not what I expected, but I have a box of them... so I will be eating them for a while!

I like some of them. The chocolate cookie dough and the white chocolate/strawberry are my favorites. The apple pie one is good also, as well as the cashew flavor. I hated the chocolate chunk flavor and gave all of mine to my mother...

Would love to try to chocolate cookie (oreo) ones, but I'm kinda of getting sick of them...

They are only good when heated, in my opinion.

I hated the apple pie flavor and refused to try any others, thinking they would all be nasty.

Then I needed a new protein bar because everything else has chicorry root in it and my digestive track cannot handle that. I went back to try some other flavors of quest.

So far:
Chocolate chip cookie dough - absolute favortie, especially heated a bit (5-10 seconds)
Cookies and cream - 2nd fav
Strawberry cheesecake - not bad but not as good as the above two
Chocolate peanut butter - not a huge fan of this one but I didn't try heating it up. It had more of a texture issue and drier than the other three, reminded me of the apple pie

Everyone I know likes the cookie dough and cookies and cream. Maybe start with those?

white chocolate raspberry is where its at! that one is amazing. cookies and cream one is awesome too. ive tried a bunch, never microwaved them though, the guy at gnc says the microwave breaks down the proteins?? but the only one i didnt like was the cinnamon roll. i had to choke that guy down.

The lady at GNC told me to toss them in the oven. I said I heard a bunch of people microwave them and she didn't say anything about it breaking down proteins. She insisted I put them in the oven. I was nah, micro works much faster. LOL

I like Cookies n Cream, Choc Peanut Butter, Almond one, white raspberry..

Nope, not worth the cost in my opinion.

I really dislike both the taste and texture of them. YMMV.

If you're looking for a delicious treat...then quest bars aren't it. BUT if you're looking for a decent tasting snack with great macros, then quest bars are awesome. I love coconut cashew, chocolate chip cookie dough, chocolate peanut butter. There are certainly more delicious protein bars (mmmm cliff builder bars!), but you definitely pay for that taste with calories.

EmmieBaby

love them before a workout, gives me a nice kick of energy and keeps me full until dinner

White chocolate raspberry I like the best. I didn't like the cookies and cream that much.

IMHO worth the price for the protein and fiber, and the calorie count is not bad at less than 200/bar.

You can get them cheaper if you order them direct from Quest.

The cookie dough flavor is absolutely ADDICTIVE.

Re: chicory root...ME TOO! I will not tell you what I went through to find out that was the source of my pain. You might already know this, but the ingredient inulin will usually produce the same results. It's the thing in chicory root that makes it so unpleasant. I have to read every label for packaged food, especially "high fiber" ones, to make sure they don't have either of those two ingredients listed.

The cookie dough flavor is absolutely ADDICTIVE.

It tastes like heaven when you microwave it for like 10 seconds....

dunnodunno

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor is amazing!

DebSM2

Got the two as a free sample...cookie dough and cinnamon roll. Microwaved the cookie dough for 10 seconds before tasting...promptly threw 3/4 in the trash (don't know why I ate the 1/4 I did). That was a month ago and I am too chicken to taste the other. I know lots of people like them...I haven't had other protein bars and maybe these are way superior to others, but I couldn't choke it down.

I've had the cookies and cream and brownie ones. They were okay, but not as good as I was expecting based on all the raves about them I've read on here.

Cookies and cream are pure heaven!

I like the cookies and cream, the double chocolate chunk and the chocolate chip cookie dough. I tried baking the cookies and cream one the other day and I loved it! I cut it into pieces, set it on a cookie sheet (with parchment) and baked them for 7 minutes at 350 degrees. The taste is pretty much the same, but the texture! Just like a cookie! Warm, browned, kinda cake like. Totally satisfying after dinner snack. I can't wait to try it with the other flavors.

I love my quest bars. I treat them as a treat instead of ice cream. Vanilla chocolate raspberry is my fav.

Absolute favorites are cookies 'n' cream & white chocolate raspberry. Cookie dough is also awesome.

Banana nut muffin & chocolate brownie are AMAZING topped with PB2- they're just "meh" on their own.
