I just bought several new protein bar flavors. Got a box of Quest Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Quest Blueberry Muffin, Oh Yeah ONE Lemon Cake and Oh Yeah ONE Chocolate Birthday Cake. My tummy will be happy when these arrive, but my wallet, not so much!

What are your opinions on the new/improved flavors?

Also, how do people get to try out the flavors in advance of them "premiering"? Is there some club? LOL

    Someone's been reading the forums. :p

    You have to join quest labs to get the products before they're offered to the public. But that's really the only perk. No discounts or free shipping.

    I loved the blueberry muffin and I don't like blueberries. It's sticky tho.

    The oatmeal chocolate chip was good but I couldn't really taste the oatmeal part. Could be just me tho.

    I liked the Oh Yeah birthday cake flavor so might check out the chocolate birthday cake one at some point.

    Let us know how you like them!

    Honestly, I can't stand quest bars. They taste like chewy cardboard to me. If you like them, enjoy!

    I like 3 flavors: coconut cashew, mint, and cookies and cream. The rest taste like medicine to me.
    I do keep a box on hand, and go through phases with them. But never venture past those three kinds any more.

    Yes! The forums and IG have me convinced to try the new ones. I love most Quest Bars so I'm pretty sure I'll be a fan. I'll write a review when they get here!! :)

    I'm with you on this! I love quest bars! I find most companies make everything peanut butter flavored and I have nothing against peanut butter, I seriously hate it, but believe you and me I wish I liked it, life would be so easy! And so I stumbled upon Quest bars and I do love them! But I've been off my game for a while now and didn't realize all the new flavors! That's exciting! I don't always see them all (in the store) and ive never ordered them online, but with the amount I go through I probably should. There should be more promotions on them, discounts and such...wishful thinking :blush: but I'm definitely a loyal customer :smile: Happy Monday!

    I love, love, love the oh yeah one lemon bar and I usually don't like lemon products at all. They always taste like pledge. Not this one!!

    I used to love quest bars, and now I can't stand them. I've switched to Power Crunch bars and Fit Crunch bars. They taste SO good!

    Oh Yeah One! Birthday Cake bars taste like Mother's Circus Animal cookies to me, which is why they keep me coming back. Haha.

    I recently started getting ThinkThin High Protein bars. Fairly inexpensive (can find them at my local grocery store for about $1.50/each), about the same macros as quest, about 50 cals more, tho. I've been getting Lemon, Crunchy Peanut Butter, and Maple Almond! :)

    I completely agree. Seems so crazy that they rarely offer discounts. I usually use my GNC discount coupons to get the usual flavors, and if there are specialty flavors that I want, I wait for free shipping on Quest's website

    That they are. But I love the taste and macros on them, so I stick with the brand. If only they had some sort of customer loyalty program!

    I do like the taste of Think Thin bars! I have them on occasion. I like the creamy and crunchy peanut butter ones. They have soy in them which I don't love, but I'll grab one here and there.

    Both the oatmeal and blueberry are delicious, but really sweet. I wish they would come out with a savory bar like ham & cheese croissant. I know it sounds weird.

    I haven't tried the new flavors but I don't like the new formula... too sweet and too much of an artificial aftertaste :(
