Quest bars...

Anybody else highly addicted to these things ? The profile is legit : 20g protein, 20ish g fiber and no/minimal sugar. The 5-6 g fat I work Into my macros.
Could these labels be lying? They are awesome ! That is all.
 
Yes, I loved them but Im weird. MOST "sweets" (no matter how healthy/low carb) just make me want to eat more. I would knock out 3 of those and not be even slightly full. Also, in general, I have NEVER found ONE protein bar of any type that has ever satisfied me.
 
Quest bars are great. I haven't tried any of the new flavors though. I like the original line with no sugar alcohols. Don't know when or why they decided to add them. That was a mistake in my opinion but I guess you can't please everyone all the time.
 
haha just ate teh vanilla almond, they are all beter in the microwave for alittelbt, i jsut bought 2 different bos, one assorted original line and one new bars assorted, tehy are all delicious!!! cant beat em
 
Looking forward to trying a couple new flavors soon....PB and Jelly and either Lemon Pie or Vanilla Almond Crunch. For some reason stores/gym's only carry a couple of flavors. Cinnamon Bun is the best I've tried so far......


ikeNball- they almost seem to be to good to be true huh?!? What flavors have you tried??
 
Lemon pie is good.. But my two favorites are chocolate brownie n the strawberry haven't try pb&j yet tho.
 
Best protein bar on the market, in my opinion.
I go through about a box a week.
Favorites are Vanilla Almond, coconut, apple pie, and chocolate brownie.
Peace
 
I always have at least a couple boxes on hand. PB&J, Vanilla Almond Crunch, and Mixed Berry Bliss are my personal favorites.
 
Tough for me to ear the same flavor for a while.

I've used Eat Smart bars recently and those are not bad at all.

Tried this today, and BINGO.....you are correct!!

I just posted a Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream- Brownie Ala Mode recipe in AI's contest thread, using utilizing a Quest bar as the brownie on top!!

Thanks for the idea newbreed and Breezy!!
 
Omg! Pumpkin pie brownie a la mode?!?! Yum! Sounds like a party in my mouth! I dont think I can have it during prep, but I will sure have to give it a try;-)

You're welcome. I notice all flavors are awesome after about 10 seconds in the microwave. Could eat them out of the wrapper too but could be a little too chewy

Here's the recipe....I would think you could use most of it during your prep?? Maybe everything but the ff cream cheese?? I don't know how strict you need to be at thsi point!! How many weeks out are you??? What class are you competing in??


"AI's Pumpkin Pie Brownie Ala mode"

Ice Cream-

-Blend 2 scoops AI's Pumpkin Protein along with s/free almond milk, Splenda and Greek Yogurt in blender w/ a few ice cubes and let freeze.


Topping-

- Mix up fat free cream cheese, dark coco powder, splenda and a couple tablespoons of sfree almond milk and heat in microwave

-Cut up half a fudge brownie "Quest Bar" in to little pieces and microwave for approx 25 seconds

Scoop ice cream in bowl, top w/ heated fudge brownie Quest bar chunks and drizzle hot choc/cream cheese sauce on top!!!

Sugar free whipped topping on top would complete this dessert!!!

HA!!Like I said, BULKING BAR!!! Actually 27g's isn't horrible but when you eat protein bar's as a snack you gotta watch out for stuff like that, or at least I do!!

I saw you mentioned Eat Smart earlier, I have a coupon for a free one, so will give that a try as well...

i just had an applie pie bar myself! i bet u can make a good recipe witht aht
 
yea some bars have a cray amoutn of carbs, they are relal yjsut cndy bars with sugar alcohols and added protein but thats y some are sooo good lol......the cookies and cream dymatize bar is super good and only has like 21 grams of carbs i think but like 12 grams of fat i think, but still not too bad for liek 30 g protein, but quest bars still win for nutrition and macros by far!

Very true!! I LOVE Supreme bar's especially the PB & Jelly one's but feel like i'm eating a candy bar when I eat a large one. Sometimes I look at it like this.....most of these bar's have less sugar, fat and carbs than the junk I used to eat so a few times a week isn't bad. Quest bar's are my savor right now since I'm currently dieting!!

I wasn't a huge fan of the Apple Pie, but maybe warmed up in the microwave w/ some vanilla protein ice cream would be better!!

The Quest bars are just OK for me, the texture is goofy.

Power Crunches are where its at for me!

I like the texture of the Quest because it takes forever to eat, infact my jaw usually hurts afterwards.
Power Crunch Bars are the bomb. I could eat 6 at one sitting if I wanted. PB Choc tastes similar to a Reese's cup to me. Can't beat the price at Walmart ...there only $1.19!!!!

Those are pretty much the same price. I dont buy protein bars often simply cause Im a cheap bastard but when I do they're usually pureprotein brand

i meant he quest bars................... the pro crucnh are relaly good, i havent had one ina while, theres umthin to be said about that crunch haha more bars should get on that!
 
I love quest bars.

Ordered dales raw food protein bars. Waiting for their ar*****.

They use rice hemp and pea protein I believe. Same amount of protein as quest and some have lower net carbs

They have to be refrigerated that's the only down side. But no preservatives or anything

I think your Reese's peanut butter cups may have gone bad!
 
Update - tried the Lemon Pie and PB and Jelly and they both were really good. Loved the Lemon Pie the best!! Thank you to the Quest bar rep!!!
 
Dales raw protein bars vanilla cashew tastes good. Reminds me somewhat of a cliff bar.

Thy are small. Need to be refrigerated and they are caloric ally dense

They are easier on the jaw then quest bars and easy to eat.

Lots of good flavors. High and low carb options all with good fibers and fats like coconut oil

Downside they are expensive so they would be a luxury bar
