Best Protein Bars



Recommended Posts

I can't find the Quest bars anyplace. Do you have to order them online?

Yes, they're an online product (questproteinbars.com); I haven't found any over the counter retailers for them (though I haven't really looked, either. They do have a spot on their website for inquiries from prospective retailers, so you may find them somewhere) On the other hand, they're local SoCal for us, so you'll get your order in a day or two.

so glad to hear all of this -- I have, too, been using the Atkins bars since so far they are the tastiest for me ... am now so excited to try Quest ... I hope I like them! Have placed my order tonight so should have by end of week, I guess. Will let you know .... (I also like Cliff bars, but they are fairly high in sugar and low in Protein, so I don't actually think they are a wise choice). Thanks again for the Quest suggestion .. I hope I like them!

I am looking for a Protein Bar that is made with real sugar, honey or agave. No sucralose, no stevia, no truvia. Has anybody seen any like this? I can't handle any artificial sweeteners (nothing to do with sleeve).

Where do you buy the Quest bars? i've never seen those.

I buy them on the Quest website, http://www.questproteinbar.com/ -- but I think that Netrition carry them also. They're yummy, you'll be addicted in no time. :wink1:

ETA: I have tried all the flavors by now, and I like mostly the original ones. Their newer "all natural" line (flavors like cinnamon roll and lemon pie, etc.) were actually just way too sweet for me. FWIW.

let me know which ones you like best ... I ordered the Peanut Butter & jelly ones ... I'm curious about the other ones though, so let me know which ones you like best. I, too, have been having a hard time finding Protein Bars that I really like ... as I said, Atkins so far I like best, and Balance Bars - the peanut butter ones - are okay ... but am looking for that perfect Protein bar and have yet to find it! So hoping Quest works for me too!

I received the Quest bars tody I ordered just Sunday night. Turns out they are only about 35 miles from me. Anyway I ordered a box each of samples of the original and natural flavors. I tried the Lemon Pie one today and it tasted just like a lemon bar to me. Kind of sweet but I can handle it, although I was never a s"sweet tooth". I will try one tomorrow from the Original ones. But now I know I will never buy any more Protein Drinks cuz I will try to get most of it from my food and have a bar every afternoon. Finally found a bar I like!

great - can't wait to hear your review. With any luck when, maybe tomorrow afternoon I'll get mine! I have to say, they are a tad expensive though -- didn't you think?

Yes they are a little high. But it is worth it. I paid 24.99 for 18 of the Premier Protein shakes from costco and I am totally burned out on

them. Can hardly drink another one so I think the four I have left will be in the trash can tomorrow! LOL! Can't wait to try the Cinnaman Bun too! that's why I bought the sample packs to start.

I live in a very high-cost-of-living place, so the Quest bars seem reasonably priced to me, I don't remember US prices enough to know what other bars cost (also, I've never used Protein shakes, so this is my only 'diet' food thing). But they are heavy, too -- so shipping them is not cheap, though their rates within the US are actually very reasonable. I pay to have them shipped overseas and then import duties as well -- they end up probably being $4 per bar...and I STILL consider them to be essential and will not give them up! :biggrin: 48 more are on their way as we speak...

Rosie -- I think the PB&J ones are very yummy, though I prefer the straight PB ones personally, just cos PB&J is not a flavour I really dig. The Original ones are all awesome IMO, and the new "Natural" ones are not my cup of tea...though I'd still eat 'em if I had 'em!!

(God, I should get paid by Quest for all the pimping I do.) *LOL*

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
