First off, Happy Friday MFP'ers! :)

Recently, I have heard A LOT of raves about Quest Nutrition bars, and I was wondering if anyone has tried them. If so, what did you think of them taste-wise? Also, what are your opinions on them ingredient/nutrient wise? I know protein/meal replacement bars can be really iffy, could they really be that healthy??

Here is the website for anyone who has not heard of them http://www.questproteinbar.com/

    My gym sells them, I'll grab one on the way out If Im hungry and not going straight home. Some taste ok, just like any other processed food. My favorite is chocolate chip cookie dough. Nice amount of protein and low in sugar, but high in sodium

    Depends on the flavor. They're not as tasty as a lot of other protein bars though IMO (like Luna or Cliff that taste more like candy bars) but they are definitely healthier, and they keep me full longer with the 20g of fiber in them. My favorites are coconut cashew, chocolate chip cookie dough, vanilla almond and white chocolate raspberry. I couldn't stand the lemon, apple pie, and strawberry cheesecake ones.

    I freakin' love Quest bars. My favorite flavors are peanut butter & jelly, chocolate chip cookie dough, and strawberry cheesecake (I know, I'm weird that I love that one). I think banana nut muffin is one of their more popular flavors but I'm not a fan.

    Compared to some other protein bars I've tried, Quest bars keep me fuller, longer.

    I eat the brownie version a few times a week - these are exceptional. Many of the other brands have way too much saturated fat, that's what I like about the Quest bars, they are awesome. I bake mine at 350 for five minutes - excellent.

    LOVE Quest bars. The ingredient list seemed pretty good to me. 20g protein each one and they also have 17g of fibre, which is amazing. I have yet to microwave them, but I have left them in a hot car while at the gym lol.

    I really enjoy these. I bought several individual bars to try them out and ended up buying boxes of the coconut cashew, strawberry cheesecake and apple pie. I liked the banana but nobody else in house did so I didn't opt for a box of these. I just tried the Peanut Butter Supreme--OMG! It was delicious, but at 210 cal, I am only eating half--still helps to keep me full.

    I bought my first two this week- the cookie dough and the brownie. Both are delicious, but I think I'm going to stick with the cookie dough!

    Chocolate chip cookie dough is fantastic! It's almost like eating a big piece of a pan cookie. They have LOTS of fiber and protein for a relatively low number of calories. My only complaint about them is they're kind of high in sodium.

    Love 'em. I like the strawberry cheesecake and vanilla almond crunch the best. Might be the only one who thinks the cookie dough is gross.

    I LOVE THEM!!! :) I buy them at GNC and LOVE the Apple Cinnamon favor the best but they are all good :)

    Where do you find them? I know of ONE 7-11 (which is not at all near me) that sells them and I've never seen them anywhere else. And I'm not ordering a box off the internet until I know they're not gross.

    Edit: ah-hah, answered while I was asking! I will check the GNC.

    i like the idea of quest bars, but be careful about what flavor you get. I bought boxes of the apple pie, cinnamon roll & lemon creme flavors online last year. I do not like them. out of those flavors the lemon is the best but tastes like lemon zest (like lemon rind) with no cream at all. the apple pie is flat out disgusting. cinnamon roll is not tasty either, kind of like cinnamon on cardboard.

    From the reviews i've read on amazon & vitacost (and after seeing the suggestions here) if i order again i think i might try the chocolate chip cookie and/or brownie flavors.

    I'll reiterate that a chocolate chip cookie dough quest bar in the microwave is delicious. Tastes like a warm cookie... with 21g of protein.

    I don't know about you OP but I'm sold!!! I can eat half before and the other half after work out. It sounds great. I've been eating Planters Nutrition but variety is nice.

    I love them!! I don't use them as a meal replacement though. I like to eat them either before or after my workouts. Best Protien bar out there if you ask me. The Strawberry Cheesecake one make me feel like I am cheating!!

    I love the apple pie (has potassium included) and the cinnamon roll. I use them instead of hitting the vending machine at work.

    I love them, depending on the flavor that is.

    Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Rocks!

    I have a box of that and peanut butter delivered to my door every month!
