Shawn, in response to your earlier question - I have no food-based allergies or sensitivities. Whey isn't an issue for me in other foods, so I'm still not sure about the unhappy relationship between me and Quest bars. Not to derail this conversation, but I see that Quest also has protein powders, including a new flavor (Salted Caramel) that caught my eye. I may give that a shot - it seems like there are a lot of recipes I could play with.
Your not derailing it, its all good

They don't have anywhere near the number of flavors that Quest has, but the ones they do have are delicious (IMHO) and the texture is much, much better!
Where did you get them from? i never heard of it before0 -

Coconut Cashew
Banana Nut Muffin
Cinnamon Roll
Raspberry White Chocolate
NOT a fan of any of the chocolate ones I've tried or the Peanut Butter Supreme.
I tried their Protein Chips once - they tasted like powdered milk.
Seems like since you are probably the longest quest bar user, have you noticed any long term advantages/disadvantages? how often do you eat them?0 -
I like the quest bars and also the Pure Protein brand is pretty good to.

Holy crap, 3 pages worth of quest bar discussions, I had no idea these were so popular....0

I typically eat them 3-4 times per week. Most often when I'm rushing out the door to work out and need something in my stomach, or at work when I didn't have time to eat breakfast. Once in awhile, I have one or half of one + an apple for an afternoon snack if my lunch isn't holding me.
I haven't noticed ANY side effects from eating them other than I like the taste, convenience, and they help me reach my protein goal for the day. I actually like the taste of the KIND bars more, but choose Quest for the added protein.
Then again, I don't have any food sensitivities and seem to have pretty much of an iron gut - so can't speak to anything there ...0 -

any benefits, have you noticed any difference with the added protein/fiber?0 -

I bought some of the Quest Chips and I have been enjoying them. In particular I have really liked the BBQ flavor. To me they have a lot of spice and taste like Baked Lays. They only have 5 carbs and have 21 grams of protein. I'll take that and feel like I am eating chips with my lunch.
nice, how much salt and calories --- if you dont mind me asking0 -

i wouldnt buy with the box, i usually buy individual, buy 3 get 1 free at gnc, that is what i do. As you can see some people really like them and some people dont at all, so it would very, i would definitely try before you buy a box, btw, you only save $0.50 by buying by the box at gnc0 -

I wasn't talking about Quest bars. Quest are only like $26 for a box of 12 at GNC with a membership. I was talking about the 22 Day bars. Those are the ones that are $36 for 12.0 -

oh, sorry I should of pressed "show previous quotes" 0 -
I AM ADDICTED TO THEM! They are sooooooo good. I love them baked. If you haven't tried YOU HAVE to! They are 1000x better baked (certain flavors)
Best flavors
Double chocolate
cookie dough (amazing baked)
white chocolate raspberry
cookies n cream
apple pie (amazing baked and unbaked, totally different each way.)
cinnamon roll (not a fan of it baked though)
Strawberry cheesecake (not good baked but amazing in fridge for a bit)
S'more (HAS to be baked, not that good unbaked I didn't think, but baked it tastes better than a real s'mores, so good)
OK
pb&j
coconut cashew
mint chocolate
S'mores unbaked
chocolate pb
Not that good
peanut butter deluxe (too boring)
chocolate brownie (but baked it is VERY good)
lemon
vanilla almond0 -
Where do you guys buy? From VitaCost I just got three 12 pack boxes for $65 including shipping.0

Cookie dough!0

Just that I feel more satisfied eating one of the Quest bars vs. something else for equivalent calories.
I really do find them quite filling, which is important for me since I like to EAT.
I WISH I liked the Quest chips as I am a potato chip fiend. I satisfy my cravings with the BBQ popped chips from Trader Joes. No protein really, though.
FYI, I buy mine from Amazon for around $24-$25 for a box of 12 ...0 -
i buy mine from gnc because it is across the street from my house and i like picking out a few at a time instead of by the box0

On the quest website, you can add any 12 bars to your cart and they'll automatically charge you the price for a 12 pack, which is 24.99.0 -
same price for gnc though, 24.99 per box, however they charge $0.50 more for a mixture, im sure your paying more than that for shipping, plus its across the street from me so that is the main reason, convenience.0

Double chocolate chunk and cookies and cream are only flavours I have now.
For dessert some nights, I put the chocolate quest bar in a bowl, and microwave for 15-20 seconds, then pour over thick vanilla custard. Omg heavenly

Ohhh, I thought someone was mentioning $33 or something. Quest had free shipping codes, if you ever feel like not leaving the house lmao.0 -
I'm not crazy about them, which makes them perfect for me. I can toss one in my bag in case I get hungry on the go, but I won't be tempted to eat it just because it's there the way I would with basically any other food on the planet.

I tried my first one this morning - double choc. Definitely not for me although it smelled nice when heated - it was just too artificial and left a bitter taste like raw cocoa. I have 2 more flavours to try but am not holding out much hope0

@KiwiAlexP I'm assuming you're in NZ. How much are you guys paying for quest bars there?
Here in Aus, they're $5.25 each or $42 for a box of 12. It totally sucks, but I'm addicted to them, so pay the exorbitant price

holy crap, i am sorry to hear that, that is a lot0 -
I think they are awesome. I love chocolate chip cookie dough the best. Strawberry cheesecake is ok, cookies and cream was ok, chocolate and peanut butter, not a fan. For low sugar and hi protein, you can't beat them. Price does suck though. I buy them on amazon.0
