Where to purchase quest bars? I've heard how good these are but can't seem to find them at Walmart or Costco. Anywhere else? Are they filling and do they make chocolate and peanut butter? Pros or cons appreciated.

    put shopping:Quest bars into a search box, or use http://www.questnutrition.com/store-locator/

    chewy, tough, synthetic, expensive.

    I'm in the uk and they don't sell them in shops here but I recently bought a box on amazon.
    They may be tough, chewy, and synthetic...but that's what I like about them :o

    You can buy them direct from Quest.
    GNC sells them by the box or single. Amazon sells them also.
    I have tried quite a few flavors, but I only like the white chocolate raspberry.

    You can get variety packs on Amazon to try different flavors out without spending $25 for twelve of the same flavor you don't like.

    Quest bars are awful. Try the "Combat Crunch" bars. I like those a *lot* better.

    I find them at Kroger and Publix and GNC and at Amazon. I bought a 18 bar variety pack on Amazon so I could try all the flavors.

    LOL you can literally buy quest bars EVERYWHERE nowadays as well as every online store that sells health stuff. They are not that good anymore, they changed formula. They have weird taste now, so don't expect them to be as good as reviews from years ago up until a few months ago.

    Please understand that they are not going to taste like anything you are accustomed to. Sorry, that's just the truth of it. I do love mine, but they don't taste like their flavors, some aren't even close. I personally go to GNC and buy an individual to taste before I buy a full box, then buy the box on Amazon for about 5-10 bucks cheaper

    @joobey recommend the cookies and cream, heat oven to 325 deg, cut into 8 pieces, put on cookies sheet, cook 3 mins, flatten, 3 more mins in the oven = quest cookies, only way I eat Quest

    Big props to Combat Crunch and Fit Crunch, both available at Walmart....try them heated in microwave for 5 secs, flip 5 more secs, tastes like actual candy bar...

    amazon. i also like the think thin high protein bars, i think they taste better than the quest but there aren't as many flavors.

    I live in the UK and get them from Amazon. I love my Quest bars. The first time I ordered them I got a box that contained all the flavours. My favourite is Cookies and Cream followed by chocolate chip cookie dough. I also like strawberry cheesecake which is a little less calorie dense.

    I often use them as meal replacements, such as when I need to have breakfast on the go. I think they have great macros and help upping your fibre intake (besides the protein of course). I find them quite filling and they've helped with my recomp goals as well.

    Hi
    FWIW I can buy them at Bed Bath & Beyond and with their coupons for $5 or 20% off they become affordable/ Note that the coupons are for a single item so, OTOH so far they take more than one coupon for multiple items.

    Some of them I liked and some were more like eating cardboard :)

    Have a Nice Day

    I really really like the quest bars. My favorites are the cookies and cream, as well as the cookie dough, or s'mores flavor. They are chewy, but its great! I think the macros are better than any other nutritional bar, and they keep me feeling full after a 1.5 hour workout (as long as I drink a bottle of water) for about 3 hours.

    I agree with this. I used to be all about Quest, but Combat Crunch are much better!

    Where do you buy combat crunch and how many calories?

    The chocolate ones taste like an ancient tootsie roll you found in your Great Aunt's damask couch cushions.

    Don't recommend buying a box of any one flavor. Buy one bar and you can tell for your self if want gooey, tough and after tastes in your mouth (oh yeah the Great Aunt's damask couch cushions is a great way to word it).... from any flavor.

    Combat Crunch and FitCrunch are the bests one to me. They are crunchy and baked.

    Quest tastes like nasty sweaty dirty socks would taste but with a texture of paint spackle.

    Sounds nasty! I like chewy more than crunchy so not sure I would like those others.

    I'm among those who finds Quest bars entirely edible, and not the revolting item some taste. My brother-in-law finds broccoli bitter; I like broc. I find them at a couple grocery chains and, as others have noted, gnc. Even within one chain, some stores will have one or two flavors, others will have half a dozen or more.

    Protein bars under any brand can be addictive and are expensive

    I get them from bodybuilding.com and they are at your house with in 2 days. Speaking about protein bars muscle pharm has combat crunch bars that are amazing. Choc chip cookie dough by far my favorite and they don't taste bad

    They're everywhere here - literally at every grocery store and gas station. I've seen them prices as low as $1.50, but usually they're $2.99.

    They taste decent. They're not disgusting like some protein bars, but they don't taste like candy either. They all have the same texture that doesn't quite compare to anything. Almost like fudge - solid/soft, but not at all comparable to any cookie or brownie.

    Vitamin Shoppe - they will let you mix and match flavors if you find that you like them and want to buy a box of 12. They are dense, filling. I like the cookies and cream and chocolate chip cookie dough.
