Ahh, that must be their trick. no, I haven't heard of it before. Would be interested in trying a quest imitation recipe with it though.
It's called vita fibre.

i love quest bars - double chocolate chip and chocolate chip cookie dough are a couple of my faves, but sometimes i'm in the mood for the chocolate mint chunk, and the apple pie is really good. i have a half as a protein boost through my day or as protein for a meal sometimes when i want chocolate as well as protein. also handy to carry along the day after an intense workout in case you get hungry early and want to feed your muscles.
since i'm allergic to wheat and don't eat sugar, quest bars totally rock.0 -
Quest is clearly the best, though expensive. I just make my own. Still can't get the macros of quest bars with homemade, especially the fiber content-- how do they do it?
I believe the trick to a lot fiber is due to chicory root fiber. I see that as an ingredient in a lot of really high fiber foods. But this is just a guess with no hardcore data.

I love my Quest bars too, but I'm not a fan of the Cookies and Cream one. My favorites are Double Chocolate Chunk and Cinnamon Roll...especially if you nuke them for a few seconds. I actually prefer them over any candy bar.0

Iso-IMOs you can buy or use vitafiber. I bought and made some of my own, still not as good as old formula quest.
I used to eat 5 quest bars a day, but the formula changed and they are not that good anymore or worth the money. I recently purchased 40 boxes of old recipe on ebay though so I should be set for awhile . So for me quest old recipe is the BEST protein bars I've ever had. Once these are gone, I will be so sad. I tried eating the new ones, and they are just OKAY.
I like pure protein caramel peanut, venture bar (very VERY similar to quest old formula and new company), B up bars, and probar core0 -
Pure Protein are the best bang for the buck for me. Same protein and calories (roughly) and 1/4th of the price of quest bars. I don't care about the other macros or fiber really as that isn't their point for me. Plus, Quests are gross to my taste buds.
Also been liking the ThinkThin Protein bars.0 -
I like quest bars. Choc chip cookie dough and cookies n creme are my faves. They're cheaper online. I order directly from quest. They sometimes have free shipping. I also like Power Crunch bars. All of the flavors are good. Little low on protein compared to others but I like the wafer like cookie. I treat them as an occasional treat though0

Power crunch mint when I want a chocolate bar, which is rarely. It's bigger than skinny cow and not as sickly sweet as a snickers or kit Kat I also really like kind bars way more but that's not a protein bar I guess.0

I really really like Clif Builder's Bars. They are a little high on the calorie count but the mint one is amazing. It tastes like a mint chocolate chip cookie bar. I don't eat it that often, maybe a couple a week. The Luna Protein mint chocolate chip bars are good too.0

Awesome thanks0 -
Oatmega is my latest try; expensive, but good. I also like the new Atkins bars with nuts.0

Posting again, I just looked up the PureProtein bars and the Clif Builder bars to compare. Dang, I think I picked the one with the absolute most sugar content. No wonder they are so good.0
-
As far as I can see nobody has mentioned them, which I find odd considering their popularity but Grenade Carb Killa's are one of my absolute favourites with low sugar, calories and 21g of Protein they compare really well to others. The only downside is they are £20 for 12 so if you're eating 2 each day like I was, it can be incredibly pricey.0
