Recommended Alright, Im going to keep this short because nothing that i could say hasnt been covered on here...but these are the best protein bars on the planet.

Upon examining the nutrition label you will see that they are ACTUALLY a low carb protein bar, typically 4-6g active carbs per bar, 20g protein, and the remaining calories from fat (they use nuts).

Reading the label i figured these would suit my busy, low carb lifestyle perfectly when i dont have time to prepare my meals. I couldve care less about the taste, so i grabbed two of each flavor from my local supp shop.

Seriously all great tasting, not ONE bad flavor. They may not taste as good as those candy bars disguised as "protein bars", but theyre actually a good for you and portable way to keep up on your macros.

I'll never buy another bar.

Recommended I'm calling it right now. These are my Holy Grail of protein bars. I'm gonna keep it short and sweet on this one, but damn you guys have got to try these!!


------Ingredient Profile(9.7/10)-------------
Depending on which flavor you get, the profile on these things still remains the same, fantastic.

Each bar provides any where from between 20-25 grams of carbohydrates. They also include sugar alcohols as a carbohydrate source, something a lot of companies don't do. None of the flavors I have seen do not include Maltodextrin in their ingredient profile either.

Anywhere between 1-5 grams of fat, which is again dependent on the flavor because a lot of these use nuts in the ingredients which are naturally high in healthy fats.

20 grams of Whey Isolate. Not Whey concentrate, or some typical blend of different protein sources. Just Whey Isolate. I only wish there was a couple of grams more. Enough said.

16-20 grams of Isomalto-Olilgosaccharides fiber, which is basically a natural “a non-digestible, low calorie health sweetener that supports the proliferation of the beneficial bacteria residing
in the large intestine (colon), therefore act as a Prebiotic.” And with these high amounts of fiber, these bars are basically zero impact when it comes to net carbs. So anyone no matter bulking, cutting, or whatever can eat these in my opinion.

Source of quotation:
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/fcn/gras_notices/grn000172.pdf

These also contain some small but decent amounts of some vitamins and minerals.


------Effectiveness(9.8/10)------------------
Not much to say here. I've eaten these multiple times and they have always kept me full for a couple of hours when I'm out and about on the town or what not. These things have never made me full bloated or gave me horrible gas as many other bars have done in the past. Again, I only wish these things had a little more protein in them, but that is a minuscule loss considering everything else.


------ Overall Taste(10/10)------------------
If you haven't tried these things, you need to! I have eaten at least 9 or 10 of the Vanilla and about 5 for the Cinnamon. And neither one of them get old.

---Vanilla Almond Crunch(10/10)------
These taste like Vanilla Almond cookies to me. That is the best way for me to describe them. The Vanilla tastes real, you also get some little bits of almonds in each bite which gives this one an interesting but great texture.

---Cinnamon Roll(10/10)---------
Tastes like Grandma's good ole' homemade cinnamon rolls except without all the unhealthy crap and cheek pinches. The cinnamon is strong but not overwhelming. These are also not quite as sweet as real icing, but it compliments the texture and cinnamon quite well in my opinion.

---Value(7/10)-------------------------------
This is where I have the only problem with Quest bars. The profile is outstanding and everything but the price is kind of high. I get one of these for about 3.50$ every time I go to my local Vitamin Shoppe, which isn't bad but there are cheaper alternatives out there. Also to buy these by the box load would be a little cheaper, but again the cheapest I have seen these go for is about 22$ for a box of 12 online. These are fantastic new products, but I just can't find the price all that justifiable in the long run. Especially if you are short on cash and looking for good meal replacements.


----Overall(9/10)----------------------------
These things have a great profile, are effective, and taste flipping amazing. The price is the only thing that keeps me from stocking up on these things. However, I believe these have the set the new standard of what a protein bar should be and in time the price will hopefully come down a bit in the near future. If you are ever out and about and need a healthy quick fix, pick one of these up. You will not be disappointed.

Recommended FINALLY!!!

A bar worth eating that isn't going to sabotage all your hard work in the gym. Quest has made a bar that is perfect for those of us who want to have something delicious to eat during a very boring pre-contest diet routine.

The fiber is listed at 17gm which is half your avg. daily need, not bad. Only 20gm of protein, but at least it's isolate protein and not soy or some other low quality protein. I have tried strawberry cheesecake, chocolate peanut butter, and coconut cashew and I love them all. NO ADDED SUGAR!!! Only 1 gram and they use STEVIA! I don't know why more companies don't use stevia to sweeten their products. It is one of the only all natural plant based extracts that won't spike insulin levels.

My only advice is be careful because it is tempting to want to eat like 10 a day. But at only 160 calories a bar that ain't bad.

Yes I know supreme bars taste like candy bars but I think it's because they practically are with all their sugar alcohols! (don't get me started on sugar alcohol)

Anyways, Great bar, decent price, perfect snack between meals.

Recommended After eating my first Quest Bar, I thought to myself "This is too good to be true." The nutrition profile seemed just too good for a protein bar that tasted so damn good. I think I've tried every flavor of Quest Bars. My least favorite is the Strawberry Cheese Cake, although it's still damn good.

In a nutshell, each bar has 20 grams of protein, a combination of whey protein isolate and milk protein isolate. Also, every bar has around 18 grams of fiber! Thus, the impact carbs are very low per bar.

These bars taste great. Be warned; they can be addictive. My only gripe is that they're pretty expensive (over $3 retail) where I buy them from. Thus it might be cheaper to buy a box online.

Peanut Butter & Jelly and Cinnamon Roll are my favorite flavors. I highly recommend these bars.

Recommended Honestly the cleanest, but best protein bar that I've had. Personal favorites are pb and j, chocolate brownie, and the apple pie. Looking forward to trying the new flavors, as they look good, and the sugar alcohols are natural (and the amount is negligible). I've been able to keep them in my diet even though I'm in prep, and they're a nice treat every so often. Fiber content is good and the taste and texture are awesome given that the ingredients are so simple. Going to be my protein bar of choice from now on (although others are still good and I'll enjoy others, just not as nutritious and clean).

Recommended Back before I knew better I used to eat protein bars all the time. Mostly ones from a grocery store or gas station. I figured they were better than chips or something. Of course, as most of us eventually learn, protein bars are crap. I seriously cringe when I read their ingredient labels. Kind of sad they are allowed to be marketed as good for you.

Well, I got a free sample of the Quest Protein bar and I must say that I'm impressed. Short ingredient list, doesn't seem to have any garbage in it and I really like the taste of the chocolate bar. I didn't care for the vanilla bar too much from a taste perspective. But from a macro point of view, I don't think these can be beat.
