I have never been a big fan of protein bars because most of them taste like crap and turns out aren't very good for you. I started eating quest bars as a quick snack about a year ago and seriously love them. My favorite is apple pie or strawberry cheese cake! What's your favorite?

    I'd eat them if their price was in line with pure protein... at roughly 2x the cost (for only slightly better quality w. similar amounts of protein/bar), I just can't pull the trigger on a regular basis.

    Love them. Faves are cookie dough, cookies n cream, vanilla almond crunch, any with peanut butter and banana nut muffin. Only one I wouldn't ever try is the mint one as hate anything sweet that's minty. Also never tried the coconut cashew one as it just didn't appeal, and by chance (I get the variety multipacks on eBay) I've never had S'mores or the lemon pie one either.

    Been hearing a lot about them lately, but have never had them. Maybe I should :)

    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 almond

    Too bad they use sugar alcohols. I tried a bar with that stuff a few years back and had to RUN to the bathroom several minutes later.

    Actually, I just looked into it and they don't use the same sugar alcohol that the other bar I tried used (maltitol vs quests erythritol). Maybe they are worth a try.

    I personally don't get the obsession...I've had them...they're fine...but the way many people go on about them, I should have been walking around having orgasms while I was eating it.

    They are okay tasting but very expensive and if I eat a whole one, even with tons of water, they constipate me. I have to limit them to 1/2 a bar a day max. I'd rather eat real food.

    I like raspberry white chocolate and chocolate chip cookie dough. Others I will eat if I'm hungry and they are what's available, but those flavors are the only two I'd really seek out.

    If you are a member at GNC you get them at a discount and you can also purchase them online for less usually:)

    That's the way I am. I was able to get a deal on a box of 12 for $18 with free shipping, but otherwise they're a once in a while treat. I did see that Trader Joe's is now carrying them at $2.39 a pop.

    I agree I eat them, I like therre powderr but some people are just obsessed with the idea of quest it's annoying.

    I like them because I find them on sale - latest was GNC at 1.37/bar. For the taste they're better than average and I'm diggin' their chocolate varieties - very filling and high in fiber to boot. My go to for breakfast through the week due to hectic schedule.
