Have I mentioned that I like Quest Bars? I’m not sure if I have…
Ha. A bit of sarcasm for you all today. I’m a huge fan of Quest Bars and I’d been buying them for a while before I was accepted onto a FitFluential campaign for the bars. I may or may not have screamed with excitement… FREE QUEST BARS! Plus I was finally going to get to taste the Cookie Dough flavor!
You can only imagine my excitement when my box finally arrived. Obviously the first one I pulled out was the Cookie Dough flavor!
So why do I like Quest Bars so much? Well, for one thing, the taste. The flavors that they offer are:
Back when I first started weight lifting I bought protein bars and would eat one almost every day. They were disgusting. I’d try and pretend I liked them but honestly I might get sick if you get one anywhere near me.
Quest Bars, however, taste nothing like a protein bar. I know so many of you have asked “do they actually taste that good?” Well, I can’t say it tastes exactly like cookie dough, or exactly like a lemon cream pie, but I think they taste pretty darn good.
Another reason that I love Quest Bars is their ingredient list! All Quest Bars have high-quality bioavailable proteins, most of the carbs come from fiber (all bars have at least 17g! whew!), and they are all gluten free (and soy free!).
From the Quest Bar website
One thing that I don’t like is that many of the bars contain sucralose, which is an artificial sweetener, but despite this they’re better than any other protein bar I have personally found. They actually explain each ingredient in their bars on their website if you’re interested!
I’ve been slowly making my way through the bars, but my absolute favorite flavors are Cinnamon Roll and Lemon Crème Pie (I love lemon…). They’re perfect for finals and Bar studying because I just keep one or two in my bag at all times and have it on hand when hunger strikes! Much better than searching down a vending machine…
**Edited to add: Many of you mentioned not being able to find them. I have only found them in Vitamin Shoppes and GNC stores. You can go HERE to see where they are sold near you!**
Have you ever tried a Quest Bar?
Do you look at the ingredients lists on packaged foods you buy?
