Have you tried these delicious nutritious protein bars yet?? Before I was sent some to review I had never before tried them. And to be honest I almost never eat protein bars. I often browse the section of them at the market, scan the ingredients and RUN away! Most are not healthy, most are like glorified candy bars and quite addictive in my opinion.
But when I checked out the ingredients in these bars and then decided to let my family and I review them, I knew I made a good decision. The amount of protein alone kept me full for at least 2 hours after eating one! They do contain almonds so my youngest couldn't have them due to his nut allergy, but my older two kiddies loved them and so did my hubby.
There are a variety of bars with some using stevia and some using sucralose along with erythritol. I wasn't sure how I felt about erythritol since I thought it could cause digestive issues from what I've read. But for myself, none occurred and for my family no issues either. I really think it may be on how much erythritol one eats that could make the difference.
Here are the ingredients for the yummy chocolate peanut butter bar I tested:

Here are just a few fabulous flavors!
The banana nut muffin really tasted amazing! Just like a muffin only flattened into a bar! Loved it!
But I have to say my absolute favorite was these peanut butter cups! When you are having a craving just one of these little babies is all you need. Completely hits the spot and full of protein as well. 🙂
My daughter loved having a chocolate chip cookie dough bar while doing school work. A great snack with no mess!
My oldest son asked for one daily! He finished off my supply of the chocolate chip cookie dough bar and I only go to eat one!. He felt it was a perfect snack before his karate classes rather than eating a big meal and feeling weighed done. The bar was enough energy and quick and easy to take in the car on the way!
My daughter snagged my phone and snapped my pic! Carpooling, taking kids to and from activities all week and whenever I knew I'd be doing errands I grabbed a bar for the ride. Convenience at its finest but it didn't wreak havoc on my stomach, make me crave or spike my blood sugar. I call that a win!

I would love to win these. I like chocolate, but love vanilla flavored things.
Thanks!!!
Andrea
These look delicious, and the best part is the nutrition label -- I can never find a reasonably healthy protein bar!
Monica
I have always wanted to try these.
Elizabeth
I did try a strawberry quest bar before (yum) but I didn't know about the peanut butter cups!! Pass me the one you didn't eat!
Maritza Urena
I've never seen these at my local grocery store.
I'd love to win the peanut butter cups with protein! Mmmm! Or the apple pie, or peanut butter and jelly, or any of them! 🙂
Angel Yang

Dora Gillilan
What a great line-up of flavors!

Right now, I'm wavering between Lemon Cream Pie and Peanut Butter as my favorites (I've been eating Quest Bars for at least a year now, probably longer than that). I am DYING to try the cookie dough and peanut butter cup flavors!
Jan Johnson
I haven't seen them but I would love to try them - especially since they are gluten free!
Kathy
I've tried several different Quest bars and I love them! The chocolate brownie is my favorite. Tastes just like a brownie and it's sugar free. I've also tried the peanut butter, cinnamon roll, peanut butter supreme, banana nut muffin. The only one I didn't care for was the chocolate coconut one.

I've never tried them, but I know that the peanut butter cups will be my favorite!

I just recently discovered Quest bars at a local health food store near me. I purchased them only because of the ingredients listed. I don't recall seeing any bars with sucralose (or that other sweetener), but the ones i've had are pretty good. I think the lemon one is my fave. I'm going to there store tomorrow to see if I can find other flavors!
Amber Myers
I love these bars! I was introduced to them by one of my exercise class instructors. I can't wait to try the two new flavors, Banana Nut Muffin & Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!

Had the new chocolate chip cookie dough one today and it was delicious!!!
Mia
These are great! I get mine from GNC and they are how my hubby and I make it through Kickboxing 3 days a week. If you take the Cinnamon Bun or the Chocolate one and put them (not in the wrapper) in the microwave for 8 seconds ... Holy Moley on a half shell ... Ladies it is fantastic!
Rebecca
Never but I've always wanted to try their PB cups!!!

As far as my favorite goes, it would have to be either the chocolate chip cookie dough or the vanilla almond crunch!! 🙂
