    Yuck. Try Pure Protein. Better texture and better macros, IMO

    Quest bars... Quest bars are AMAZING. I love them. Chocolate chip cookie dough, white chocolate raspberry and apple pie have been my favorites. The lemon pie is good too.

    And yes, microwave them for just a few seconds. It feels like you're cheating, but you're not!

    I'm a fan, I import them from the states. I like the chocolate chip cookie dough!

    Approved. I am working my way through a variety pack that I got off of Amazon recently. I had been addicted to Balance Bars, but these are a bit more nutritious and nearly as tasty.

    LOVE them... eating one as I type!!!

    Some have a bit of a chalky taste, but for the most part they are all delicious. High protein, low net carb, low sugar, high fiber - why wouldn't you eat them?!!

    followed very closely by cookie dough!!

    I've only had a few different flavors and I am not a fan so far. Taste is all relative though.

    I prefer ClifBars and Clif Builder's Bars but they do have a few more calories in them. I prefer the extra calories and carbs to hit my goals, but I realize others may not.

    I like them. They're a good hit of protein during the day and keep me full for a long time. My only quibble with them is that they're expensive as all hell. I just managed to grab a box for under 20 bucks, though, and sales do come up now and then - I monitor the Slickdeals website for them.

    So far I've liked them all but for the lemon cream pie. That was horrendous. Everything else has been good. I like the chocolate brownie and the apple pie most, though.

    I love them but some people dislike them. Try a few and make up your mind for yourself. I'm going to a convention this weekend and will be bringing plenty of them so I don't have to wait in lines for food.

    Quest Nutrition website has a store locator if you don't have an GNCs around. I personally dislike buying from GNC and will go elsewhere if allowed. GNCs in my area are too expensive and the quest bars are often stale.

    When picking them, poke/squeeze the bars. If they super hard then it will probably be stale. You can always microwave stale ones for a few seconds but if you are out and about that won't be feasible. I like them softer and thats the benefit of buying them in person vs online.

    I buy them from herb.com - they ship worldwide - only $4! I used a discount code for my first order and got $5 off - I paid about £16 in total for 1 box delivery was within 2 weeks.

    Feel free to use my discount code if you order from there: HFL706

    I must be an odd duck,.... I bought three quest bars to try because a lot of people on MFP seem to enjoy them. The first one I tried was chocolate brownie. I couldn't finish it..... the texture and the chalky taste was awful! Threw about a 1/4 of it in the trash.
    Today, I tried a second one.... the peanut butter cup. Took one bite, spit it out and threw the rest in the trash. YUCK!!
    I'm not even going to try the third bar.....I'm taking it back and exchanging it for a LUNA bar that I know I'll eat and enjoy!
    Sorry to be negative, but I just don't like these bars! :ohwell:

    Could be the two you tried. Personally, I really dislike the brownie and peanut butter cup ones. They are gritty and gross.

    But, I could eat the cookies & cream, mixed berry and cookie dough ones all day every day.

    Not saying you should try again if you don't want to, but I think you picked the two worst flavors and might like the others.

    Cookies and Cream are my fav - along with Cinnamon Roll and Cookie Dough.
    They have to be microwaved though!
