Ok, Does anyone else have this issue.....I would rather eat a Quest bar than make an actual meal. They are yummy, I know the nutritional stats, its quick and portable.
I eat them for breakfast and sometimes as a dessert (WOW those cookies and cream ones are GOODDD!!!).

So, I'm wondering if this is just me ??:drinker:

  • I do too! The cookie dough ones are sooo freaking good, especially if you heat them up in the microwave for a minute. I live in the UK and can't get them here so have to have them imported and they're soooo expensive so I try not to eat too many but I just can't resist, some flavours are a bit bleh but most of them are awesome and you don't have to feel guilty eating them yay :flowerforyou:

    I'm with ya.

    Except I usually microwave mine for 8-10 seconds..... cut in half... take a cup or rolling pin and flatten the two slices out.... then bake them for 5 minutes at 350. They come out like cookies!

    I eat them almost every day, too. Definitely the preferred meal for breakfast. Unlike a lot of people, though, I don't like the super sweet, chocolatey ones, which taste like fake sugar to me. All about the Coconut Cashew, PB, and Banana Nut Muffin.

    I had to stop buying them because I literally started dreaming about them.

    So glad I'm not alone on the "rather eat quest bars than normal food" wagon!

    I like them when I have a craving, but I don't love them enough to have more than one a day. I have like 4 boxes of them from Cyber Monday that I'm slowly going through, lol.

    Yes! They are expensive, but the Chocolate Brownie ones totally give me my chocolate fix. My husband and I have been trying some of the 15 second recipes from youtube as well. The pumpkin pie was wonderful! LOVE them.

    They are so nice, but I always feel a bit off having one. If you like Larabars too, a healthier and cheaper alternative is to make your own. I've made these (http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/11/14/oatmeal-raisin-cookie-larabars/) a few times with some alterations and they're lovely.

    Just tried the new cookies and cream. It was good and I loved that the texture was different than other quest bars. I love raspberry/white chocolate, peanut butter supreme, apple pie and banana nut muffin. Haven't tried the lemon pie yet.... I typically don't like lemon flavored stuff, but love lemons.

    I'd say I'm addicted. I have Ben to GNC 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Plus ordered by the case online of my fav flavors, they should be here soon. I love them for breakfast at my desk or on the road.
  • has anyone esle gotten nauseous from eating them? I cant finish a bar or half without getting sick?

    What a bunch of weirdos in this thread.

    If anybody needs me, I'll be eating my ZonePerfect or Premier Protein Crisp bars.

    (never had a quest bar... now I'm afraid. Very afraid)

    It's not just you! I could eat them all day everyday! Probably one of the best things I've ever put into my mouth!

    Totally did this for dinner last night. I wasn't feel well enough to cook, so I just got a quest bar when it got late and I knew I needed to eat something.

    I have only tried the cookies and cream ones and they are delicious - especially for my after workout "dessert" - heated up in the microwave with a glass of milk.. Cannot wait to try the cookie dough ones - they are next on my list

    OMG yes :(:(:( My family makes fun of me. Another brand that is "addicting" is Genisoy, my favorite flavor being peanut butter fudge. Genisoy bars are expensive, too, but I get them for cheap at Walgreens.com. I would say I'm torn between Genisoy bars and Quest bars. I like Pure Protein and Luna Bars, but they aren't the same as the other two.

    My favorite Quest bar is the chocolate chunk with a close second being chocolate peanut butter. I also like: Cookies and Cream, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Peanut Butter Supreme, the Almond Vanilla flavor, and Chocolate Brownie. I have tried all the flavors but the lemon kind and the wild berry kinds. I do not care to try those two.
  • It is all about raspberry and white chocolate :) They are so expensive though :(

    Like them for dessert.
  • Also - be careful. I'm told that heating them in the mirowave breaks down the protein content.
