Hello all,

I've recently switched up protein bars and decided to try out quest bars. I'll be getting my order in the next couple days. What is your opinion on them? Have you tried their other products as well? Let me know your thoughts!

    Tasty. High carb. Not much nutritional wise.

    I love them, particularly the white chocolate, raspberry one. Some people put them for a couple of seconds in the microwave. They are a superb source of protein. I know you can easily get the same amount of protein by eating e.g. a Greek yoghurt, but frankly a Questbar a day or every two days is a treat for me.

    Yes, forgot to say, most importantly, just 1g sugar. I have researched tons of protein bars and I have found none that have that small sugar amount!

    I have come accustomed to the Chocolate Chunk. It wasn't great when I first tried it but now its one of my favorite flavors. Sept 29th they have a limited edition flavor revealed! I hope its pumpkin!

    Yummy flavors but they recently changed their formula so at least you won't have any bias towards the old formula if you get the new bars. :)

    I've also tried the protein chips and protein powder. Of the chips I've tried, the cheddar and sour cream are my favorite with sour cream and onion coming second. I also tried the bbq flavored but it was too bold for my taste.

    The chocolate milkshake protein powder is reeeeeeeally good. So is the peanut butter. I also have vanilla to try but haven't yet. I've heard good things tho!

    Do these have to be ordered online, or are they sold in stores? If so, which stores?

    Most places that sell lots of protein items sell them, such as GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Popeye's supplements, etc. Some grocery stores even have select flavours, but they are often more expensive and are old. When Quest bars get old, they get quite dry and hard, but microwaving them on high for like 5-10 seconds will make them soft and chewy again. My local Trader Joe's carries some flavours.

    Quest bars are absolutely nasty. I have tried almost everyone. I used reg and ones with splenda. No matter which one, the after taste was horrible not to mention the texture of the bar itself.

    I have now switched to Muscle Pharm Comabt (cookie dough only) but prefer Chef Robert Irvine FortiFX FIT Crunch Bar (peanut Butter).. 1000% better than Quest.. I will try others in the future but prefer something that says "crunch" on the label...lol

    I hear that they are excellent if you microwave them a little bit! Thank you for your advice everyone, it is much appreciated!

    I ordered these directly from the Quest website. I purchased the variety 12 pack on there. I believe the costs are similar to what is available in stores. Only thing is you have to pay $5 for shipping

    Next time google for a free shipping code.

    They've started selling the bars in Ralphs/Kroger and Gelsons (not a chain market I think tho) and I've even seen them in some gas stations.

    Are the chips intended for just snacking? Or can they be an alternate to a protein bar?

    There's 20 to 21 grams of protein in a bag of chips. Sometimes that's all I eat for lunch. :)

    That sounds great, I will have to buy some the next time I place an order with Quest!
