  • I'm really curious as to what your nutritionists justification for that statement is. Net carbs is literally total carbs less fiber, and I can't think of much "crap" that is super fiber packed to thro

  • I thought Quest bars are the best out there for Protein bars! most of them taste pretty good, they have high protein and high fiber, what's not to like about that? And low sugar. So I'm confused now,

  • Mark, I agree. Quest bars are excellent tasting. The Fiber amount in them are substantial. I find them to be an excellent addition to the menu. I have one every two or three days when somethi

@@Sophie74656 I may have to try those too.

honestly I don't know how their nutrition stacks up, but they're a great price and pretty tasty.

My nutritionist recommended Quest Protein bars. One of the advantage of Quest, other than the fact that they come in a variety of flavors, is that they contain fiber. I was having issues with constipation at the time. This is a good approach.

I had sticker shock in them at first as well, but then realized it was an entire meal for $2-$2.50(I usually stock up when they are on sale for $2 a bar) and to be honest where else can I get lunch for $2?

Thanks for the info. I ordered them today. Even after years, I learn things from this site all the time. I am thankful.

FYI, GNC often has them buy 2 get 1 free, and will easily be around 1.65 each at that price. i LOVE Cookies and Cream, i keep them in the fridge and they are extra chewy that way!

hubs and i tried the pumpkin ones and have several of those too, which we really like.

i have fallen off over the past couple of months, but when i am ON program, a Quest bar every afternoon is my snack. working hard to get it together...

What flavors do you recommend? I bought the cinnamon roll, thinking it would be ahmazing, but it was so dense. Are they all that way?? Thanks for any input!

Yeah they are actually. I end up with the chocolate chip every time. Just bought Peanut Butter and chocolate so I see how they taste

They are all pretty dense @@DaisyAmy BUT you can try warming them in the microwave. This makes them a bit softer. I warm mine for about 20-30 seconds, and then eat immediately and they are tasty like that. On the plus side, this also makes the chocolate or cream bits inside depending on flavor get all melted and delicious.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that!!!

I've never tried a Quest bar that I didn't really enjoy.

Excellent product.

I ran through wal-mart this morning because I left my lunch - I got two of the premiere Protein bars because I had a coupon. I will have to look closer at the Quest bars and the Fiber.

@@mark1733 - what is the protein (roughly) in them? Fat? Calories?

thanks,

jane

News flash........Quest now has a few Protein powders on the market.

My local GNC stores have it.

I will acquire a canister or two and test drive it soon.

It's pretty good stuff! I especially like the salted caramel one with some Starbucks via!

i did a test drive on the Quest strawberry flav Protein powder and LOVE IT!!! i have grown very sick of Protein shakes since my surgery, actually gave them up completely for quite a while, but found my eating habits slid backwards really quickly and i gained about 5 lbs. tried the strawberry earlier in the week and it was great with really cold milk and ice.

fyi, somebody asked if all quest bars are dense. yes, they are all that way. for some people, warming them works well, for ME, putting them in the fridge works best.
