ARE QUEST BARS REALLY AS GOOD AS IVE BEN TOLD THEY ARE?

My favourites are the cookie dough, cookies n cream and double chocolate chunk, microwaved for 15 seconds.
I didn't like the raspberry cheescake type flavours, they were the ones that had that sickly sweet aftertaste to them..

nooooo. chalky, gritty, and i despise artificial sugar taste more then anything.

Thanks for all the insight ye the one I tried today I was really disappointed I had the cheesecake I may try another flavor before I count these completely out.

I was just looking for anot her meal replacement or snack cause the shakes have gotten repetitive and my snacks are usually fruit , peanuts , or fiber one ,kashi, nature valley bars and those all are SO HIGH in carbs and with high fructose corn syrup and hardly any protein or fiber .

So that was the reason I was looking into protein bars

Lara bars protien ones are yummy but they are usually 250 or more calories because they are sweeten with fruit. Or thr regular cliff bars. I would suggest going back to the protein bar section and buying several different kinds that meet your nutrition requirements. And like I said before quest bars so much better heated up so are so other bars

Whatever they use in pretty much all these bars to sweeten them makes my intestines very angry. It's weird because I drink a coffee everyday with sweet n low in it, but one protien bar and things get real. Of course, I also just found out I'm mildly allergic to most nuts and soy so maybe that's it. They tasted just ok. I used to really like the Kind dark chocolate cherry bars for taste. However, I'm pretty sure those have honey and not that great on protein. More like a candy bar...so yeah. Go with candy bars.

Sugar alcohol is used, which is different than artificial sweeteners like Sweet 'n Low. Sugar alcohol gives some people the runs, especially in higher quantities (think of sugar free gummy bears).

I actually prefer mine blended into a smoothie that has frozen banana and raspberries so it goes cold. I like the texture and it feels like eating decadent ice cream. That said, I only like 3 out of the flavours

if I was going to blend them I would just use protien powder...but havent tried it so I wont knock it lol
Which 3 flavors?

I use protein powder too. My diary is open if you want to see my smoothie combo.

I like double choc chunk, mint choc and the white choc and raspberry is my favourite.

As someone mentioned about them not blending well, I like the texture it brings to the smoothie, hence my comment about it being like an ice cream

Tried quite a few flavors at first. Didn't care for any of them except the white chocolate raspberry, which I like a lot.
So I always have a box of white chocolate raspberry on hand.

They are overpriced. But, I do really like the Cookies N' Cream flavored bars. I tried the Double Chocolate Chunk but it was only okay. I keep a small stash of those and the Larabar bars (I like the Peanut Butter Cookie and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip options) on hand for a desert/evening snack if I'm still short a few hundred calories and want something sweet/treat-like, or if I'm on the go and need an easy portable snack to take with me. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

I used to try different bars and I did find that these were the best (nutritionally) that I could find without spending an arm and a leg (availability also depends on your location). But I have to agree that some of them are chalky and tough to swollow flavors. I like the brownie and double chocolate (it's also my chocolate fix for those days). I'm also a fan of the white chocolate raspberry ones but I'm a huge fan of that flavor combination.

What I did was got one of any flavor I thought I would like when they were on sale, so I can try and find which ones I liked (if any). Not sure where you are located but in Midwest we have Hy-Vee and they usually have them on sale plus fuel saver with them so that's a prime time to try them.

No. They're disgusting to me. I've tried many flavors and didn't find one that I liked.
