    You can go on their website and get two free bars to sample. No charge totally free all it asks for is your name address and an email. You can opt in or out for more emails and offers. It let's you choose from three sets of two flavors. I think it said takes 4 to 6 weeks but who cares its free.

    Is that for the US only?

    My favorite flavor is Cookie Dough, microwaved 20 seconds. I also like chocolate chunk.
    People say they are expensive but $2 for 20g protein and a good amount of fiber doesn't seem that bad to me.

    I have a box of Cinnamon Roll that I bought for the hubby, I will have to try one.

    I think my least favorite so far is the strawberry cheesecake.

    I bought 12 of those off Amazon in Sept. I still have 6 left. I really don't like them!

    Has anyone here tried to make homemade quest bars?? (This way I don't burn multiple holes in my wallet)

    White Chocolate Raspberry with a cup of tea or coffee... OMG SO good!!! GNC sells them here in Canada. Apparently for awhile now, but I just didn't frequent their store often enough to notice. Had been getting them shipped from the States $$$$ Happy Camper now that I can buy them in my own backyard :-)

    Last year they had fantastic sales on their website around Black Friday, so keep an eye out. I still have a couple boxes to finish but I will probably get a couple more.

    I was thinking about that the other day. I think it'd be hard to find a correct recipe, plus - didn't their protein powder just become available? It would make sense to me if they never put it on the market, people making their own would be a loss for them.

    How do you not eat them? :( I have to buy them one at a time unfortunately.

    If you are serious about what goes into your mouth, you are better off making your own bars with a protein powder you trust. I've found a vegan powder (although I'm not vegan) that is natural and can be used for a variety of things. Sun Warrior has vanilla, chocolate and a natural flavor that is relatively tasteless so you can add it to your soups, oatmeal, etc. or use it in baking. It is easy to make bars to store in the freezer to keep fresh, or make shakes. Quest bars and others like them are convenient, but they have ingredients that are questionable.

    I took a break. I don't know why.

    Please enlighten me about what in Quest bars is questionable.

    Also, homemade protein bars typically lack in fiber.

    I also have to question what you find questionable in these bars.

    I seriously love Quest bars. I was just asking my wife if it was weird that I'm looking forward to one tonight as a snack.... :-)

    I use to eat Zone Perfect bars until I tried Quest Bars a few weeks ago. Never going back to ZP. I bought the sampler sweetened w/Stevia & Erythritol and can't believe how delicious the majority of the flavors are and less than 3 grams of sugar (compared to 13g or more in ZP).

    Not a huge fan of the coconut/cashew bar but I still eat it if I need the protein boost for the day. Can't quite pick a favorite because each one satisfies a different craving on any given day.

    I eat them straight outta the wrapper, maybe I'll try them microwaved & baked as suggested by the original poster. Just ordered a few Quest flavors that use Sucralose (PB&J, Apple Pie, Chocolate Brownie). Anyone tried the Apple Pie flavor? Thoughts??

    I didn't care for the apple pie one.

    More flavours!

    Coconut Cashew

    Straight up

    This was pretty nice straight out of the pack, the texture seemed softer than a few of the other bars and it didn't have any of that weird protein powder flavour. It had a mild coconut taste, but I didn't sense any of the cashew


    Microwaved

    The bar was tasty microwaved, I feel like the coconut flavour came through even more, and even the texture seemed more like shredded coconut. Still tasted very little cashew.

    Baked

    This made a decent coconut biscuit, it would be great with a drizzle of dark chocolate on top for a real treat. I might have tasted a hint of cashew this time, but if it wasn't written on the wrapper I don't think I would even notice it.

    All in all a pretty good bar if you are a fan of coconut, the lack of cashewy-ness is kind of disappointing- but the overall flavour is good.
