and it was okay. I had double chocolate chunk, but to be honest, it didn't taste as good as people said it did, and it left me with an upset stomach. Is it just me that feels sort of queasy after eating one? Any other flavours that taste better?

    I've heard the chocolate chip cookie dough flavor is amazing.

    I really like the chocolate chip cookie dough and cinnamon roll flavors. They aren't quite as rich as the double chocolate chunk, and have less calories :wink: Also, they taste best when microwaved for about 15 seconds. Hope this helps!

    I've tried 4 or 5 and the best ones so far were the Coconut Cashew and the Peanut Butter/Jelly.

    i feel the same way. They're honestly just *meh*. They're only really good if you heat them up in the toaster oven.

    apple pie, cinnamon roll and vanilla almond crunch are worth a try.

    Cinnamon Roll is really good warmed slightly in the oven/toaster oven/microwave

    Beware the chicory root extract aka inulin. Well known to cause GI distress as in cramping, out gassing and for some explosive diarrhea.

    I would say the double chocolate chunk is one of my least favorite flavors; any of the chocolate based ones are not as good to me. I really like the strawberry cheesecake, banana nut muffin, chocolate chip cookie dough and white chocolate raspberry. I know some people don't like the texture, but it has grown on me and I love how filling they are. If you really don't like them or if they bother your stomach, I like the Pure Protein bars and many of the Atkins Advantage bars. For a real treat, Atkins has an Indulge flavor of chocolate coconut that tastes just like a Mounds bar. Not as much protein as other bars, but only 2 or 3g of sugar.

    Never. I sometimes have two of them at lunch. I have tried every one of them and the only one I don't like is the lemon one. My favorites are the Coconut Cashew, Choc chip cookie dough and white choc raspberry.

    And as others have said. Heating them up is the best way to eat them.

    I've never gotten an upset stomach after, but my husband checks the ingredients for sugar alcohol, because he says the same thing - that it upsets his stomach a bit.

    I thought all the quest bar flavors I've tried were disgusting. I felt sick soon after eating them. All the flavors had a weird after taste and I hated the texture. I know I'm probably one of the few that finds them appalling. I'll stick to my soft baked pure protein bars and my power crunch peanut butter fudge bars. They taste so much better and easier in the budget.

    I had one for the first time the other day...the brownie one. I had to heat it in the microwave as it was hard as a rock. Loved it heated, but it did upset my stomach a bit. I also tried the apple pie bar..that one was really good and did not upset my stomach at all. I have the choc. peanut butter..haven't tried it yet.

    I tried a few Quest bars about a year ago and had stomach issues after each time I tried one. Will never buy them again.

    Could the tummy troubles be from 17+ g of fiber at once, especially for those not used to eating a lot of fiber? (Never eaten one but the fiber thread suggests eating Quest bars to easily meet fiber goals).
