After Quest changed their formula I switched over to MusclePharm Combat Crunch bars. They're so much better.1

Quest Mint Chocolate warmed in the microwave! I definitely prefer to warm the chocolate flavors, but not the others.0

I stick with Epic meat bars - https://www.epicbar.com/ - and Rise Almond Honey Whey bars - https://risebar.com/shop/protein-bars/almond-honey-protein-bars-2/
Quest always seemed like flavored sawdust to me.
Just my opinion.1 -

Grenade carbkilla bars are the best ones I've ever had. 30 seconds in the microwave makes them even better!
I'll +1 that.
Cookies and Cream, Choc fudge Brownie, and Caramel Chaos tried and given the seal of approval so far.
Quest - tried a few and didn't enjoy (Strawberries and Cram, one of the peanut butter type ones, and a Chocolate type one)1 -

I use both, quite often. Clif Bars are a pre-workout/carb refeed staple for me, and Quest tends to be my random "I need to fill in some macros" bar.
As for Clif: those Cool Mint Bars are the devil. I could eat those things by the box.1 -
Ugh. Just got a box of the Costco bars and I hate them.
Tried a Quest once, not too fond of the texture and cost prohibitive.
My go to bars;
Smart for Life 20g,
Cliff Builder (mint) 20g,
Pure Protein 15g,
Premier Protein (mint) 30g
Cliff white chocolate and macadamia 9g
The Simple Bar 16g.
Yup I have a protein bar drawer instead of a treat drawer- I like variety.
Cheers, h.2 -
They have to be heated up--then they are good. Otherwise, it's like eating chewing gum.0

Truer words have never been spoken. Or typed, in this case. At 270 Cals - IIRC - I need to stay away from those, except when I'm bulking.
Regarding Quest bars: I've never been a fan of either the tastes (chocolate something, peanut butter something, cookies 'n' cream are what I've tried) or the texture.

Double chocolate chunk is my favourite Quest bar! I microwave them for 10 seconds which makes them gooey and soft.
Do you guys have Ratio 6:1 protein bars in the US? The choc/peanut butter flavour is leaps and bounds ahead of Quest, so damn delicious.

I find quest bars inedible. They are disgusting.
If I need a bar of any type I grab a larabar. Not my most favorite snack in the world, but they do the trick if nothing else is avaliable.0 -
I remember having a few quest bars and they were amazing. I waited months to get one on sale again, and they were disgusting.
The chocolate mint flavor is alright. But I only know this because I found some marked down well under $1. Worth the risk when that cheap.0 -
I tried the Quest chocolate brownie bar, and had to spit it out.
The same thing happened with another brand of protein bar.
I gave up protein bars after that. Stupid brofad, IMHO.3 -
I like the apple pie ones but recently tried the Think Thin 20gram protein lemon, yummmmm! !!!!!!0

I love those little Lara Bar bites they came out with. The chocolate cherry ones are like crack to me.0 -
If you have extras, try cutting the bar and baking it into cookies before throwing them away. You may like them better.

All of the Quest bars are somewhat nasty to me. They are too gummy/chewy/processed. Granted, they have the best macros out there for low calories, high fiber, and high protein. They are also just about as expensive as any others out there. Look around for some 'baked' or 'layered' protein bars. Some will have more sugar, less fiber, but usually will have the same amount of protein. Some might be higher in calories, but many aren't bad. My favorites were always the 'Fit Crunch' by Robert Irvine. There are two sizes if you can find them, snack size which I think was around 190 calories and 16 grams of protein or 300+ calories for 30 grams of protein. I've actually moved away from eating them myself once I hit maintenance because I can afford some extra calories and there's no need for me to spend the money on them now. I used to eat them for a mid-morning snack to bump up my protein intake but now I just make myself a healthy version of a sausage/egg mcmuffin with a low calorie muffin, a fried egg, and some turkey sausage and a slice of cheese. Comes in around 400 calories for up to 25g of protein depending on the type of sausage I use.1

FitCrunch are legitimately the most delicious and best textured bars on the market. I need to order some of the new cinnamon ones to try them, as they appear to be a limited time thing.
As mentioned though, they are 380 kcal for the full sized bars, so a pretty big bomb in that area. Most of that is from the fat content though, which is what makes a baked bar so good, imo. I have never had a high fat (18-20+g) protein bar that wasn't delicious, but it can be hard to justify dem kcals, even when I am bulking.1 -
I'm with you. I've ordered a few protein bars and cookies (after reading reviews) but I've disliked all of them. Thankfully I ordered singles instead of a box. I was so hyped when ordering them too
