Has anyone tried these ? I had to order them from the company. I like the sound of no unhealthy fats and low sugar. I got the assortment pack and cant wait to try one tomorrow.

    The Vitamin Shoppe sells individual ones so I picked up 3 different flavors. I really didn't care for them because they have a taffy texture thats makes them hard to eat. The chocolate one wasn't like very good. I'm not a picky eater and tried all kinds of protein bars. I give the bars a 5. My favorites are the Atkins and pure protein bars. Hope this helps.

    I only eat Quest bars because they fit what I'm looking for. I often only eat a half of a bar at a time. I like the chewy texture because it takes longer to eat and forces you to chew it instead of just gulping down the bar. I prefer the all natural kind without the sucralose because I don't like artificial sugars (though I have tried the PB and the Brownie bars and once I got over the sucralose flavor I enjoyed them... now I only buy the all natural though). I have tried many of the flavors and they are all really good--particularly the cinnamon roll and the cashew coconut kinds.

    Ok I feel like an advertisement now haha... but really, I've compared tons of bars and these are the best imo. High protein, low carbs, no sugars--they're just about the best you can get.

    I am another Quest fan. At first I didn't care for them, more the texture than anything else. They are more expensive but you are paying for a higher quality bar, in my opinion. I now really like them, but I can't afford to eat them too often. I tend to keep something like this on hand for convenience. For instance, one day I left my breakfast at home, so I was glad I had something in my desk at work. I always keep something in my purse, for when I am gone from home longer than I expected.

    I am a total chocolate fan, but the Chocolate Brownie, is not a favorite. I liked the Coconut Cashew but didn't care for the Vanilla Almond. I have several others on hand, I just haven't tried them yet. I don't eat this type of thing daily. I also tried the Apple Pie and that was good. I read a lot of reviews on this site and others and got so many different opinions on the best flavors, but that is natural.

    I do have to warm mine up before I will eat them. I do not care for them at all room temperature.

    Looking to try these as well. I haven't found a protein bar I like and I'm willing to eat a little stevia once in a while if these are really good. I do like that they don't have a lot of artificial ingredients so I hope I like the taste.

    Depending on your digestive system, you should know that some of these contain sugar alcohol. Not all of them, but some of the Quest Bar flavors have a decent amount in them. I can't handle sugar alcohol, unfortunately. Otherwise, Quest Bars look relatively healthy.

    Good to know. I'll have to look closely at the ingredients. Thanks!

    They do contain Erythritol, which is a sugar alcohol, but I think people tend to have less problems with it than other sugar alcohols. Every person is different though so maybe try one if you can before buying a whole box!

    had a bar for breakfast. yes, texture is odd. I didnt heat it up either. 170 cal ad 17 g fiber. low fat. sounds good to me. trouble with adkins is high fat and so many of the bars are chocolate coated then you get the saturated fats =(

    They are farking disgusting. However, they use whey isolate, which is really good, and are a lot more whole/natural than other bars. Plus tons of fiber.

    They are the highest in sodium.
