Many people buy Quest Protein Bars simply because of the great taste. Quest worked very hard with thousands of taste testings to make sure they taste better. But what really separates Quest from all the rest is its nutrition. Quest protein bars are very low carb with high protein, high fiber, no trans fats, and very few ingredients.
Quest is the first bar that even pre-competition bodybuilders and fitness competitors use during preparation for their contests, allowing them to lose fat and / or build muscle mass while still eating food that they enjoy.
These bars are amazing! I have been waiting for a truly low carb bar that wasn't filled with any sugar, sugar alcohols, evaporated cane juice, brown rice syrup or whatever you want to call it... it's all junk.
These bars clearly have out of this world ingredients and can be eaten without any guilt. I have had to be very strict on my diet so regular protein bars have been out for me.
I really like that they don't use any soy either which is something I know other bars use to save on costs.
These taste so good that the only complaint I have is that they can be hard to stop eating.
I will never run out of these and will keep my cupboards well stocked.
I tried all 5 of the flavors of these bars. Being a gastric bypass patient, I need protein sources low in sugar content to avoid the dreaded "dumping syndrome" and these bars fit the bill! I've tried the Atkins bars but the sugar alcohols in them do a number on my digestive system with some pretty foul results. These bars being a good protein source have very low sugar counts and most of the carbs are fiber sourced.
I will agree that 10-15 secs in the microwave wrapped in a paper towel is the best way to enjoy these. All were good out of the package but warmed a little, the consistency loosened a bit and they became, dare I say, dessert-like.
Compared to other bars out there, these seem to be the best low-carb option (and them tasting good is a big bonus).
Apple Pie - tastes like a Nutrigrain apple bar
Peanut Butter - almost tastes like Reese's peanut butter pie
Almond - tasted like candy...someone said Bit O Honey and that is fair
Chocolate - tasted like a vending machine brownie...not the best but not terrible either
Berry - this one was my least favorite...mainly because I don't dig strawberries and this had a bit of the strawberry flavor coming through but otherwise was decent.
One benefit I didn't get from these was with all that fiber, I was expecting a smooth movement but the protein counter balanced that and things were a bit rocky...
I tried both the peanut butter and vanilla almond flavor. I think the vanilla one tastes kind of like the bit-o-honey candy. It was very chewy too. I would definitely buy it again. The peanut butter flavor was just o.k. for me.
I hope they end up with more flavors because I thought the nutritional value on these bars was great. Very high in both protein and fiber, which made it lower in carbs. No sugar alcohols so I have no "digestive issues".
Quest bars are the best bars on the market! Since I've found Quest, I will never eat another nutrition bar. I eat one per day, whether it be from their original line or their natural line. My favorite flavors are Chocolate Brownie and Cinnamon Roll. All of their flavors taste great, but I am partial to these two. The taste isn't overpowering or too sweet. True, the original line contains Sucralose, but only a very little amount. I would highly recommend this bar to anyone is who is interested in a great tasting bar loaded with protein and tons of FIBER.
Quest Bars are the perfect answer for the 'true' low carb person. I have followed Dr. Bernsteins' low carb diet for over 10 years, no fruits and no more than 30 carbs a day. My weight and blood sugar stay very steady (I am not diabetic). I practice the 4-5 hours between meals so when I use these as a meal replacement, the protein and fiber keep me full and satisfied in between meals and no sugar alcohols mean no insulin/sugar crashes. I love the true taste and the chewy texture (you don't gobble down the bar so fast!). I like that these bars are not coated (again, sugar alcohols) that will melt off inside the wrapper. Also, these bars are NOT, I repeat, NOT oily or greasy by any means! I don't know what the other reviewer was talking about. Highly recommend!!!
