Protein bars

Does anyone know if you can buy Quest Protein bars by the single instead of a box at GNC or anywhere else and if so are they any good? I tend to lean towards a more fruity kind of bar like the apple pie or the mixed berry one is probably what I'd like instead of a chocolate one. I don't want a bar that is gritty tasting.

Thx

Hi Donna....I made the mistake of purchasing Quest Protein bars---I had read Bariatric Foodies raving reviews of them (but then realized she gets a kickback from them for each clickthru so perhaps she was a bit biased). The worst Protein Bar I've ever tasted. Greasy AND gritty at the same time, slimey and with a vague hint of dust. (I bought the Peanut Butter and chocolate one.) It doesn't even look like a protein bar...more like molded bodily waste.

The only benefit to this bar is that one would never ever binge on them they are so vile.

Sadly, I had to buy an entire box of them. So you are wise to try to find just one to sample.

i have tried numerous protein bars as my hub sees that it is his mission to find them..he found revolution protein bars from walmart that sells some awesome protein bars in a 6 pack box in many flavors...my fave is the chocolate peanut caramel and has 20 grams protein and reminds me of a snickers bar....i always have them in my purse or i my drawer at work for a snack or when i am out/about.....my friend AJ loves them....come to think of it, walmart has all kinds/types of protein bars..may want to go and take a looksee there..hope you find one you like/enjoy :)

I have bought quest bars individually at gnc.. the cookie dough one is the one I like the best.. other flavors are not great...and they are quite chewy... however they have the lowest amount of sugar of all the protein bars.. walmart does have a great selection I have bought muscle milk bars that I keep in my purse in case I get stuck somewhere that I can't eat....

Donna 12 I have got my at Vitamin Shoppe they have them in singles, also you might be able to ask if you can only buy singles some store will do that. I love the peanut butter. Also tomorrow Vitamin Shoppe is having a health fair at all there locations. I am going to see what they have to try for samples on the protein side of things.

Thanks everyone, glad I asked, whew! I will ck Walmart out first. I did get some cliff bars from there and I like them but was looking for ones with more protein. I didn't like the cliff ones that have more protein, it was nasty. I just like the regular ones peanut butter crunch I think it is.

Thanks so much for posting about Revolution protein bars. I bought some and tried one just now and it is great! I've never been able to find any that I liked with a good protein to calorie ratio until now. Thanks so much!

Anyone have an organic one with lots of protein?? They would recommend?

I wish I had read this before I went to GNC today. They had buy 2 great one free. The girl said that these bars don't have that chalk taste and the strawberry cheesecake tastes like a strawberry pop tart!! Oh we'll, hoping for the best. (She did say I could bring the unopened ones back if I didn't like them)

Has anyone tried the Detour protein bars? I bought a box of 25 bars and I do like the chocolate peanut butter. I've also bought the assorted box but I really only like the chocolate peanut butter. Each bar contains 15 mg of protein I believe .

which brand and which ones taste like pop tarts, oh lordy i sure would like to get ahold of those...lol I was at GNC today too to get powder.

Think Thin protein bars are really good- very low in sugar and high in protein. I get them from Safeway. It's super important to watch the sugar content of the store bought ones. I think the Gnc ones have low sugar too.

Donna, I bought the Quest bars at GNC. Strawberry cheesecake. I really hope she is right about tasting like pop tarts!!
