I bought three different flavors and only liked one. I think it was maybe the cookies and cream one. They tasted OK, but I also felt like they tasted like the wrapper? I don't know.

I find that any protein bar takes a couple times to get used to. I used to really only like one flavor of quest (but enough to say I love quest bars). Now more and more are growing on me and becoming delicious. Back in the day when I ate the Pure Protein bar it took me awhile to get used to it too, and I also ended up loving it.0

Have you tried the Salted Caramel Pure Protein bar? Delicious.0 -

I always get the stomach pain too. I don't hate the taste by any means, but every single time I try to eat one I feel sick for a good hour or two. Not sure why, but they just don't sit well with me.
It's the sugar alcohols. Some people have issues digesting them. Check the ingredients on the one you're eating, note which sweetener(s) it has, and try a flavor that uses different sweetener. It may be you're one of the people who can't tolerate any of the polyols, but that's not always the case.
I will check when I get home, but so far its been chocolate chip cookie dough and cinnamon roll. I can't remember the other right now.
Yep, the Cinnamon Roll is one of the highest in sugar alcohols. A whole one can upset my stomach too, but I can eat other flavours. I always check the label to make sure it's one that isn't high in sugar alcohols.0 -

Have not! Calorie count is too high in them for me. Maybe I'll pick one up if I feel like making it fit.0 -
Chocolate peanut butter, the 'natural flavor' one is a hit in our home. Stevia and Lo Han Guo are the sweeteners used. Like others mentioned, they're great for on the go and quick protein/fiber when my food day has been icky lol0

My favorite are the cookies & cream. Vitaminshoppe.com has them for only $24.99 per box.0

I'm the opposite. I'll like them the first time I try, and then as time goes on, I become more aware of the aspects I don't like, to the point they overpower whatever I do.0 -

Haha. Interesting. Okay, I speak for myself!0 -
I bought some a while back. They were okay. The chocolate peanut butter one was disgusting though. I didn't mind the cookie dough and cookies and cream, but I quit eating them after I finished off the ones I bought to try. I just didn't like them enough to spend that much money on them. Plus, I didn't find them satiating. They always left me feeling hungry for some reason.0

I'll have to pay more attention to that. I'll give them one more shot trying one that is lower. Thanks0 -
LUNA BARS FTW! Whenever i am in the US i always stock up with coconut chocolate flavour. I know it's not the same amount of protein but whatever they are fantastic0

I love Luna Bars as well! They don't seem to get a lot of love on MFP (not a lot of protein for the calories is what I've gathered) but since I don't have a problem hitting my protein macro or calorie goal with them they work for me.
I finally tried three different flavors of Quest bars after seeing all the raving about them here, but I was not a fan of any of them. That was about as much as I was willing to spend on the experiment.

What about smores flavour. I've never had a real smores before, but they look delicious!
Is the quest flavour comparable?0 -

You should probably go have a real s'mores. Like nowish. You're missing out.0 -

I love the chocolate chip cookie dough Quest bars.0

Taste/texture was fine...but sucralose (noticed after eating)? I thought this was the "chemical" free nutrition bar?
Its a sweetener but everything is considered a chemical to some degree. Even organic or all natural items will have some form of chemical. Maybe call them and request to know why the false disclaimer or how they see it as true?0
