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

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

    I still can't figure out how i do not get gas from these with all the fiber on the label. usually with prebiotic fibers,inulin, chicory etc. I get horrible bloating within 3 hours of eating anything with more than 3 or 4 added grams. 17 grams and zero bloating? seems very odd

    I had horrible gas after eating the Atkins bars.

    the worst for me were simply bars. I have a whole case of them sitting in my cabinet in case I really want to punish somebody lol. I did find taking an activated charcoal tablet with it will eliminate the gas problem, but what's the point of that right! I really wish these types of fibers were not added to most things nowadays, they are especially added to a lot of gluten free products or "faux meats" I have yet to find a good non whey protein bar that doesn't have either this crap fiber, or isn't loaded up with dates or cashews

    From what I've read, they supposedly taste better when you heat them in the microwave? I bought one but I haven't gotten around to trying it yet.


    Oh, yes! Have to warm them up.

    I love the choc brownie and double chocolate chunk. At over $50 for a box of 12, I eat them sparingly. However I could easy eat 2 or 3 a day!

    UUH!! $50 for a box??! Try e-bay!! I get mine for free with a bag of protein powder..
    Shouldn't be paying more than $35 per 12!!

    amazon has them for $24.99/box of 12 with free shipping sometimes

    The ones I've tried have been decent, Strawberry cheesecake and White Chocolate Raspberry. I'd like to try the Lemon Cream pie one and the lady at Smoothie King is ordering them so I can try one before I buy a whole box.

    The Lemon Cream Pie is one of my favorites. Surprisingly good.

    I love all the quest bar flavours except the peanut butter ones... And I am a big PB fan usually. I like them cut up and wedged into a banana then put in the oven, tastes amazing x

    Tried em because of people raving about it on here. Texture reminded me of a Power Bar ( do they still make those?). I personally prefer Think Thin bars. They have a great texture with crunchy bits and a chocolate coating. http://thinkproducts.com/products/?utm_source=MSN&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=protein bars low sugar^22966011893&utm_content=5275685834&utm_campaign=thinkThin - Consideration Campaign (Official Site)^35501

    I just tried the white chocolate raspberry based on this thread, I think. New favorite.

    (I also normally prefer Think Thin bars, but find the Quest bars more filling.)

    Okay so I finally got around to trying the Quest Bar I bought. It was the cinnamon roll flavor, I heated it in the microwave. I didn't care for it at all. I don't have a problem with the taste of artificial sweeteners either. It just tasted like a very strange cookie protein bar hybrid. I couldn't bring myself to eat more than 2/3 of it. It's a shame because I really wanted to like them. :/
