    25g of carbs
    20g of protein
    17g of fiber
    1g of sugar.

    Of course they don't taste like cookies with m&ms in them but, they are pretty tasty and no other bar can match those numbers.

    anyone looking to add protein to their macros and satisfy a sweet tooth at the same time would say this exact same thing............

    Gah I hate quest bars. Try muscle pharms combat crunch bars. So much tastier and pretty much the same macros

    Will try them! Any specific flavors?

    Chocolate brownie and cookies and creme are my favourite.

    Although I love them all lol. Peanut butter cup was probably my least favourite

    I love Quest bars!

    I had an appointment with a dietician a while back, and when I said I use Quest bars to increase my protein intake, he did an Internet search and pulled up the nutrition facts of a Quest bar and a Snickers bar. He intended to show me that protein bars were little more than expensive candy bars. (True for many bars.) Then he actually looked at the macros and said, "Oh." lol

    The only one I have found that I like so far is the Peanut Buttercups

    I think this is the point that most people are missing when they don't understand how good these bars really are. They definitely are one of The better tasting bars but nutrition wise they are out of this world compared to every other bar. 17 g of fiber… That's unreal.

    Cookies and cream and Smore's are my favorite.

    My faves are cookies and cream, cinnamon roll, and banana nut. I only eat 1/2 a bar at a time for a snack and it really helps me reach my fiber goals.

    Exactly! I've not found a bar that comes close to those macros. Plus I can keep one in my purse without it melting all over the place on a hot day, since it doesn't have a chocolate coating.

    I've tried 17 of the 18 flavours. Only one I haven't tried is Mixed Berry. A lot of them, I don't care for. But Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Cookies and Cream are definite winners for me. My third favourite would probably be Strawberry Cheesecake or PBJ (Strawberry Cheesecake gets the slight upperhand because of the lower calories and sodium content). Very decadent tasting. Especially when you consider the macros, they're quite delightful.

    Mint Chocolate Chunk, Cinnamon Roll, Banana Nut Muffin and Apple Pie are pretty good. The rest are pretty 'blah' to me.

    I already have a box of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Cookies and Cream and am looking to get a third box (Strawberry Cheesecake). I eat these as treats. They're like candy bars to me :)

    The quest for the ultimate quest bar is an ongoing one.
    I have heard tales of secret flavours .
    Some say there is a treasure map leading to a hidden chest of quest bars.
    Rumour says it lies in a hidden valley in the amazon.

    YES! , let the quest begin.
    They will be a book written of our daring adventure some day.
    Some will say it was just a legend, but the empty quest bar wrappers from deep in the amazon, with their magical ingredients will hold the proof for eternity.

    I've had a few and they were okay. But, if you're someone who eats protein bars regularly, I can certain see thinking they're little bars of heaven when compared to all the other crappy ones out there.

    I actually had one yesterday (cookies and cream) and it didn't taste half as bad as it did the first time. And it def kept me full for a good while. I think I'm gonna buy some.
