    No, but where in the heck is all that fiber coming from? That's the most I've seen in any protein bar so far.

    Newsflash: Julien bakery is one of the most untrustworthy sources of "healthy" foods out there:

    Suggest you avoid any/all products they offer.

    Try Lara Bars. The ingredients are whole and readable. Also, the majority of the flavors are paleo.

    But they are super low in protien and fiber. I saw they have a protien one though so I could look into that, I just havent seen in stores around here

    Holy carp. Almost $36 per box? And I thought Quest bars were expensive...

    (FWIW I usually wait for bodybuilding.com or vitaminshoppe.com to have a sale on Quest or a general discount code and stock up)

    No problemo. You might consider trying these:

    http://www.ketobars.com/products/keto-bars-10-pack

    They aren't super high in protein, but the ingredients are very "clean" and sweetened only with stevia. I find them tolerable. I would probably like them better if I was a fan of coconut, which I'm not. I know, I know...I'm strange (hangs head).

    Are the Quest bars just too expensive? I like them but wish they didn't cost so much.

    Also Trader Joes has Bounce energy balls. New there. Really good and lots of protein. Peanut Cacao is really good.

    Try Oh Yeah One bars or B-Up bars. B-up has a giveaway on Saturdays on their Facebook page. They'll send you two free bars to try.

    Not a fan of the price or the ingredients (artificial sweeteners and corn fiber)

    Tapioca according to the site.


    I fail to see the problem with Quest Bars nutrition wise.
    I fail to see how eating a prepackaged convenience food would be thought Paleo because of a label. Seems trying to much to have cake and eat it too. Either accept the science of nutrition and safety behind Quest or eat only whole foods free of most processing.

    A bit of a confusing post....I asked for other protien bar suggestions not for just accept quest or eat your chicken lol I love quest bars and eat a half with my coffee a few times a week (instead of a cookie or something like that). I dont need "paleo" I just wanted a healthy ready to eat snack, for now its half a quest bar microwaved ;)

    I thought that No Cow bars were pretty close to Quest Bars nutritionally and texturally speaking. I don't like the taste of either (both are gritty to me), but everyone else I know that has tried them loves them. They're vegan too, so they're great if you have dietary restrictions.
