Are they really healthy????





JUST KIDDING :laugh:





I'm loving me some Clif bars at the moment but I'm not impressed with the macros or the satiety factor. Since i can't just pop over to the store and try a Quest bar I figured I would ask if they are any good.... So... Are they?

    Love cliff bars, white chocolate macadamia nut and usually my treat for the day ;) I never go over on my salt so this is my guilty pleasure with protein..

    I love quest bars. I stick to the lower calorie ones (160-170 calories) instead of the ones in the 200s. My favorites are Strawberry Cheesecake and Cinnamon Roll. I also have Banana Nut Muffin (despite my love of bananas, this is my least favorite), Apple Pie and Chocolate Brownie. Chocolate brownie is the closest texture to the other protein bars I've tried in the past.

    I LOVE QUEST BARS!! They take maybe two to get used to but after that you are hooked. My favorites are choc chip cookie dough (microwave it for 15 second - heaven!), chocolate brownie and coconut cashew. I tried banana nut and apple pie I didn't really like those. If you don't like them right away give them a second chance - nutritionally they are the best protein bars out there and at 170 calories you can't really go wrong!

    They get expensive though if you get addicted like me so be careful.

    They are fantastic. I eat them --all flavors. GNC has buy 3 get one free. Its really the only one I eat regularly. You are right, most bars have terrible ingredients- and the sugar!

    I think that is the first negative thing I've heard said about quest bars. Never tried them myself, but I was considering buying some.

    They're sweetened with Stevia.

    I just don't understand how people can consume Stevia. I tried it once on purpose in coffee and literally gagged. I bought a case of Quest bars, choked two down, and gave the rest away. I accidentally purchased a protein powder flavored with Stevia and thought it had gone bad.

    Maybe I'm just weird. It literally tastes like poison.

    I bought the peanut butter chocolate quest bars and REALLY loved them...

    Then I bought a few boxes of other flavors and they are still sitting in my cupboards because theyre just GROSS.

    I would only recommend the PB chocolate flavor.

    After reading all the glowing, positive reviews of Quest bars I bought 3 flavors to try. I couldn't spit the Apple Pie flavor out of my mouth fast enough, the chocolate brownie one tasted like tootsie roll but the consistency of shoe rubber, and the chocolate peanut butter was about the same as the choc. brownie. Wasted over $8 to find out Quest Bars are horrific.

    I have a $10 off coupon for iHerb - they sell boxes of Quest and have free shipping! The code is DMJ717 - yes I do get rewards when people use my code - not going to lie! But it's a win win right??

    Some people can really taste the bad part of stevia. It's unfortunate for them.

    The only way I can tolerate a Quest Bar is by microwaving it for about 10 seconds and eating it immediately. The macros look nice on them, but they definitely aren't good. Some are less horrible than others. You can always order a variety pack from their website.

    i really like the quest bars. i love cliff bars but the sugar content is really high in them. the quest bars are very low in sugar.

    Peanut Butter and Jelly are my favorite. Try them slightly heated in the microwave. It helps with all the chewiness.

    I'm in love with Cliff bars but the sugar content is outrageous! I tried Quest bars and they're just too tough and gross for my liking.
