Quest Bar Flavor Reviews - Share Yours!

_lyndseybrooke_ · May 2014

List the Quest bars you've tried, tell us how you ate it (right out of the package, microwaved for __ seconds, baked at ___ for ___ minutes, etc), and how you'd rate the flavor on a scale of 1-10.

Mine:
- Cinnamon Roll - right out of the package - 4/10 - I wasn't impressed, considering this is a popular flavor. It had an odd taste.
- Vanilla Cashew - right out of the package - 2/10 - I had a hard time getting this down and keeping it down. Love vanilla, love cashews, hated the flavor of this bar.
- Chocolate Brownie - microwaved for 15 seconds - 6/10 - Microwaving definitely improved the texture, flavor was better than the other two, still not all that impressed.
- Double Chocolate Chunk - microwaved for 15 seconds - 8/10 - Yum! The texture after microwaving was great, chocolate chunks were delicious, and the flavor of the bar was fantastic.
- White Chocolate Raspberry - microwaved for 15 seconds - 5/10 - I was expecting much more out of this flavor. The white chocolate chunks were great, especially melted, but the raspberry flavor had an odd twist to it.
- Cookies and Cream - microwaved for 15 seconds - 8/10 - Very good flavor and texture. I could've easily eaten another one.

**I'll be trying the oh-so-popular Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough before my workout on Wednesday morning, so I'll get back to you on that one. Fingers crossed!

^ That'll be the last flavor I try before buying a box of the ones I enjoy most. So far, I'll be re-purchasing Double Chocolate Chunk, Cookies and Cream, and maybe Chocolate Brownie. I won't re-purchase any of the others I listed.

My Bottom Line: Microwaving these bars is absolutely essential for me to enjoy them. The texture of them right out of the package is just awful.

I've only tried 5 flavours. Here's my list in order of preference.

1. Choc chip cookie Dough 9/10 - the best!
2. Cookies and Cream // Cinnamon Roll - 8-9/10 - I highly rate both of these!
3. Double chocolate chip - 7/10 - Good but I found the texture not great - and a bit dry
4. Apple Pie - Disappointed with this flavour - it was ok but I didn't want to eat more than 1!

-Chocolate Chop Cookie Dough = 9/10
-Double Chocolate Chunk = 9/10
-Cookies and Cream = 7/10
-Lemon Creme = 0/10... horrible
-Peanut Butter Supreme (I think that is the name, it's in a green wrapper) = 10/10... tasted like a candy bar
-Chocolate Brownie = 8/10
-Banana Nut Muffin = 6/10

I eat them all plain without heating them up. I'm usually on the go or at work with no scheduled break when I eat one, so no opportunities to microwave them. Though I have microwaved the choc. chip cookie dough one a few times and it was great. Someone else told me they cut them into little pieces, microwave the pieces, and then put them on vanilla ice cream. That sounds pretty good.

I only like the coconut cashew ones, so far. I like it slightly warm and soft.

MagicalLeopleurodon · May 2014

White chocolate raspberry- 1/10, had a hard time finishing it. Will not be purchasing quest again, $2.66 is too high for so much disappointment.

I don't like any of the fruit ones. blech.

tedrickp · May 2014

Cookies n Cream - 10/10 only kind I buy now

Raspberry White Chocolate - 8/10

Cookie Dough - 7/10 (found it too rich)

Double Chocolate Chunk - 1/10 - never again. Find it has a brutal artificial sweetener after taste

PB&J/Cinnamon Roll/Choco Peanut Butter - 5/10 - They were all just ok, won't buy them again ever but they weren't offensively bad.

I almost gave up on Quest after the Cinnamon Roll and Vanilla Cashew. I'm glad I didn't, because I've found some good flavors and you just can't beat the nutritional benefits and convenience. It seems if it's chocolate or cookie flavored, it's a safe bet.

The nutrition shop I use sells them for $2.50 (they're $2.99 at GNC here), but they'll let you mix them up and create your own box. The regular boxes have 12, but this place will give me 13 for the same price of $26. So, that evens out to about $2/bar. Still expensive, but I only eat three per week. Definitely better than nearly $3.

kaycepo · May 2014

I was so excited to try them and I have tried 3 now. They are not my idea of yummy to say the least! I thought they were disgusting!

Cathalain · May 2014

All of my Quest bars have been straight out of the package.

Lemon Cream Pie: The only one, so far, that I cannot STAND. I wouldn’t buy this one again. Very gritty, no lemon flavor to speak of, just a horrific taste. Ugh. Can I give this one a negative 5? 0/10

Cinnamon Roll: Not bad. I wish it had a stronger cinnamon flavor, but it’s doable. I wouldn’t buy a whole box of this, though. 4/10

Apple Pie: Delicious. I love the little apple chunks and oats in it. It doesn’t taste quite like an apple pie, but it’s pretty damned good. Might even be better heated a little. I would (and have) bought a box of these. 9/10

Cookies and Cream: Wow, VERY good. Little pieces of what tastes like sugar-free Oreos in it. The guy at my local GNC tells me he can’t keep it in stock – I believe him. Box for sure. 9/10

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: Pretty good. It’s a little rubbery for my taste, but the flavor is great. Little bits of chocolate chip add to the interest. I’d probably buy a box. 8/10

White Chocolate Raspberry: This is just okay, bordering on “meh”. Not much raspberry or really anything else in it. Kind of flavorless. A disappointment. No box here. 3/10

Have not tried any of the others yet. Probably won’t even try the banana nut muffin, as I don’t like banana flavor in anything other than the actual fruit.

The Lemon Cream Pie was the first one I tried - good thing I tried another flavor or I'd have NEVER purchased them again!

redversustheblue · May 2014

Cookies and Cream: 10/10 - Love these ones. I can eat them straight from the pack without heating and I love the pieces of cookie and whatever the white chunk stuff is! I have bought a box and would continue to do so.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: 8/10 - First time I tried these, I warmed it up for too long and it mostly ruined it, but I could still tell it had good taste had I not done that. Will be buying again.

White Chocolate Rasberry: 9/10 - Another favorite. Only thing I hate is the seeds in them, but the flavor outweighs that negative. Would buy a box.

Apple Pie: 0/10 - Took one bite and threw it away. Hated this one.

Peanut Butter Supreme: 6/10 - Really not bad, just kind of bland to me. Wouldn't buy again.

Vanilla Almond Crunch: 8/10 - Didn't like it from the package, but heating it up made it delicious. Would buy again for my house where I can microwave, but not for on the go.

I have a PBJ bar waiting for me to try at home too.

tropicaltiger · May 2014

I put in microwave and they are yummy-I really like them helps me from eating sweets-I use them as a treat-I like cookies and cream-I do buy the boxes-and keep one on hand -I also use them as ameal replacement

Zekela · May 2014

THERE IS A NEW COOKIES AND CREAM FLAVOR!!! AWESOME!

queenjane1023 · May 2014

Strawberry Cheesecake - 0/10 This was horrible and I had one bite and threw it in the trash.

Lemon Cream Pie - 0/10 Also completely awful. I finished it only because I had nothing else to eat for my snack.

Both these flavors had barely any fruit to them and were very gritty. If I try another flavor, it won't be a fruit one. There seemed to be some sort of weird salt taste as well.

I've bought these flavors in the past. I'd never eat them right out of the package, but baked in the oven they're actually pretty decent!

_lyndseybrooke_ · May 2014

What's the difference in texture after baked in the oven vs. microwaving?

lauraashley09 · May 2014

I've only tried the cookie dough ones, but I absolutely hate them. They remind me of eating cardboard. Microwaving helped move it from a 1/10 to a 2/10 for me lol

Mikkimeow · May 2014

Chocolate Chip cookie dough 9/10, LOVE had one today actually! I usually eat right out of package, they are also Delicious crumbled up with banana and almond flour, almond milk, and made into a pancake. Random and delicious. I find that they are very hit and miss with flavors. I detest the pb&j, love the banana nut muffin, and am disappointed by the lemon. All in all, cookies and cream/chocolate chip cookie dough/ white chocolate raspberry/ banana nut muffins are the only ones I will touch.

Little quick tip, might be only where I live (Missouri) at Hyvee they have Wellness Wednesdays where all organic/health produce is 10% off. Quest bars are usually 2/5 so they are much cheaper on wed and I stock up!

Hornsby · May 2014

I have had the Cookie Dough one. 3 out of 10 maybe? Wasn't very good at all. Definitely not worth the coin to me.

happysquidmuffin · May 2014

I only enjoy them slightly warmed in the microwave. They are unbearable to eat at room temperature because they are so stiff and dense - afraid of breaking a tooth!

Cookie Dough: 9/10 My favorite so far. Good flavor, satisfies cookie dough craving.
Cinnamon Roll: 5/10 My husband mistakenly bought a box thinking this was my favorite flavor... I still have 6 bars left, and he bought the box a YEAR ago. Just can't ever seem to bring myself to eat another one. Weird after-taste.
Banana Nut Muffin: 7/10 Pretty pleasant when nice and warm. Better than cinnamon roll for sure.

I've tried like 4 other flavors, but they weren't that memorable and it's been quite a while since I've bought any Quest bars. The next time I buy any it will definitely be cookie dough or cookies n cream, since I haven't tried it yet and it looks like other people like it.

DivineChoices · May 2014

In for the flavors!

I just started trying the Quest Bars. So far I've had....

-Cookies-n-Creme -- 8/10 --- will have again (straight out of the wrapper)
-Chocolate Brownie --- 9/10 -- will have again, it felt like a decadent treat
-White Chocolate Raspberry - 8/10 -- will most likely have again.
-Coconut Cashew -- 8/10 --- tastes a little bit like macaroons. Mmmmm.

gloriaeffe · May 2014

- Double Chocolate Chunks: 8/10. I microwave it for 45 seconds or so. Then top with mixed berries (warmed up so they're juicy) and a couple of tablespoons of greek yoghurt. Tastes like dessert!

- Apple Pie: 9/10. This is probably my favourite. I normally eat it straight from the package cause I can't wait to do anything else.

- Banana Nut Muffin: 7/10. I really like this one too cause it's filling and I love bananas in general. I prefer it when it's not microwaved for some reason I can't explain.

- Coconut Cashews: 6/10. I like it but find a bit too sweet for my tasting.

- Chocolate Peanut Butter: 4/10. I find it quite plain and flavourless.

- Cinnamon Roll: 6/10. Very sweet but it does remind me of real cinnamon rolls, and I love cinnamon!

Can't wait to finally find the new Cookies & Cream in Australia too.

evileen99 · May 2014

My favorite is coconut cashew.

_lyndseybrooke_ · May 2014

I finally tried the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I'd give it a 6 or 7/10. Not as good as I was expecting with all the rave reviews. Double Chocolate Chunk and Cookies and Cream are way better, but it wasn't too bad.

Cathalain · May 2014

Just an update: tried the Banana Nut Muffin. As expected, I didn't like it. The taste was just... off. It didn't taste like banana, but it didn't really taste like anything else, either. I'd give this one 1/10 (only because the lemon creme pie was worse).

mpmama2re · May 2014

I have tried a couple of flavors, so in order from least to most liked:

5. chocolate peanut butter
4. banana nut
3. coconut cashew
2. cinnamon roll
1. white chocolate raspberry

I ordered a sampler box off amazon and will try microwaving to see if there is any difference. I really like the texture of the bar though. overall- 7/10 average for the ones I've tried.

psych101 · May 2014

So interesting - I'd never consider buying any fruit flavoured ones lol its chocolate or nothing!

That said, they're super expensive over here. I enjoyed the cookies and cream flavour (8/10), the cookie dough heated (8/10), did not like the chocolate chunk one - tasted too much like chemicals.

I've started making my own, and they're just as good!

malibu927 · May 2014

Cookie dough is really good! If I have the money for a box I'll definitely order them. The brownie was alright and strawberry cheesecake was kind of meh. I only have one left to try from my purchase, but it's the lemon one so now I'm afraid to.

ronrstaats · May 2014

The only one I don't care for is the Lemon one..

But they do need warmed up a little before eating...

One_Last_Time · May 2014

- Cinnamon Roll - right out of the package - 3/10 - Not a fan. Even warmed up, still wont buy again.
- Chocolate Brownie - microwaved for 10 seconds - 7/10 - soft and warm brownie. Weird texture though.
- Double Chocolate Chunk - microwaved for 10 seconds -5/10 It was decent warmed up but to sweet.
- Cookies and Cream -package -2/10 tasted really salty. I don't like white chocolate.
-Chocolate chip cookie dough-warmed or package-9/10 My 3nd fav bar.
-Banana nut muffin- package or warmed- 10/10 my fav bar
-Peanut butter supreme- out of package-2/10 Rock hard, think i got a bad one. I'll have to retry.
-Cheese cake-out of package-6/10 pretty good flavor, good when I want fruit over chocolate.
-Vanilla Almond- warmed or package- 9/10 second fav bar. So good.

popsicklestar · May 2014

I am the fitness nerd who has tried EVERY quest bar flavor.
Here it goes:

Cookies n Cream: Very good. It grew on me. I approve of any "health food" that involves oreos.

White Chocolate Raspberry: Another flavor that grew on me. Super yummy. Although, not all quest bars have the same amount of calories, and I hate that its calorie content is higher

Vanilla Almond: This flavor is another flavor that I like that I'm annoyed that it's one of the higher calorie ones

Chocolate Peanut Butter: One of my faves. The only peanut butter quest bar I really like. And only 160 calories!

Cinnamon Roll: This is my favorite quest bar flavor. Tastes like a cinnamon roll. Amazing.

Apple Pie: Really yummy. Definitely a good one to try.

Chocolate Brownie: Don't care too much for this flavor. Not bad, but it's not as good as double chocolate chunk, so I'd rather just eat that.

Strawberry Cheesecake: This one was really disappointing. Doesn't taste like cheesecake, just artificial strawberry tasting. Totally bummed it wasn't better.

Mixed Berry: This one is too high calorie for how much I like it. It's okay, but not worth the extra calories to me.

Coconut Cashew: Meh. If you're into coconut candy, you might like it, but it didn't impress me.

Peanut Butter Supreme: Too hard and chalky

Lemon Creme: I really love lemon bars normally, but this one was disappointing. It's okay, but wouldn't buy a box again.

PB & J: Again, too hard and chalky. Bummed because I thought this one would be awesome. Also, a higher calorie quest bar, so not worth it.

Banana Nut Muffin: I love this one. Really tastes like a banana nut muffin

Double Chocolate Chunk: I love this one. If you're craving chocolate, just have one of these! Only 160 calories and tastes awesome!

Chocolate Chip cookie dough: Had heard rave reviews of this one, so it was the first one I tried. It's good, but I'll admit I was expecting more. It's one of the higher calorie quest bars, but I do like this flavor enough to eat it sometimes.
