Am I really the only one who can't stand quest bars? I really want to like them and I have tried 5 diffrent kind. I've ate them plain, baked them and microwaved them. Still nasty ☹
I think they taste like chemicals. Any thoughts?

    My only thought is- yes, they are nasty.
    I have never found one I could finish.

    Cheers, h.

    I used to eat them a lot and then they changed the formula. I haven't had one since.

    I love the cookies and cream and the apple pie. I have them shipped to my house once a month from Amazon.

    I also think they are disgusting, especially the texture. They are about like chewing on road tar. I will never understand the appeal.

    I like the smores and mint chocolate one. Cinnamon buns was nasty. I eat 1-2 a week on long run days because I get the runger and they have a nice hunk of protein. However, I'm actively looking for an alternative because I find I don't really enjoy them. They do help keep the runger at bay, but I'm not entirely in love with how they taste.

    I used to eat Quest bars until I discovered Grenade Carb Killa and Fulfil bars, both of which feel like actual food in your mouth.
    I'm too scared to go back now ;)

    I can't handle the Quest. I have tried them and I just can't. I am a fan of the Cliff Bars. Great taste! Maybe less protein than some of the others, but they are filling and again... taste good!

    Nope. I am not fond of them either...

    could tell from the wrapper that i'd never touch them, tbh. power bar has been around since 1986 for a reason.

    I don't mind the taste or texture, but there are definitely better options out there. No one's mentioned Fitjoy which packs almost as most protein and fiber as Quest does, but tastes like a candy bar <3

    I like the cookies and cream microwaved for 10 secs. It's not OMG this is good it's just a good quick way for me to get my protein in.

    I like the Smart for Life bar from Costco. 20g protein for 190 cals. Inly 2 of fibre but I don't worry about getting enough of that.
    They are similar-ish to a chic covered rice crispy bar- crunch rather than chew.

    Cheers, h.
