Quest Bar Review

I have a review. This is honestly my favorite review to date. Quest bars have seriously become the most popular protein bars on the market due to their all natural ingredients and superior taste. Each Quest bar is made from quality ingredients; you won't find the crappy fake ingredients found in regular protein bars in a Quest bar. I love this. Each bar has the base of ingredients of whey protein isolate, IMO fiber (derived from plants), either almonds/peanuts/cashews, lo han guo (a natural sugar alternative), sea salt, and erythritol (a sugar alcohol). Although there typically is sucralose, an artificial sweetener, the Quest bar is by far the best protein bar on the market. I am not kidding.

I enjoyed receiving all these samples to review. I'd first like to commend the Quest bar team for being SO prompt. Within a DAY of e-mails of doing a review, I received the Quest bars. And every time I sent an e-mail, I got a prompt response not even 10 minutes after the e-mail was sent. Now that is quality customer service. Props to you guys!

I received a total of eleven flavors... wowza!


Seeing this on my doorstep instantly turns me into Flash as I race to grab it and tear it open.

Here are my thoughts...

Chocolate Peanut Butter: 8/10

I love love love peanut butter, so my expectations for anything peanut butter-flavored is super high. This bar tasted good, although the peanut butter taste didn't wow me as much as I wanted it to. I could still eat these all day, everyday though and wouldn't mind having it again!

Chocolate Brownie: 10/10

Oh. My. Goodness. This bar legit tasted like an ACTUAL brownie. I'm not one of those people that makes protein pancakes/waffles/brownies/cookies/etc. and claims OMG it tastes identical to the real stuff! Nope. But this protein bar tasted like a moist, fudgy brownie of my dreams. It was so so good.

Mixed Berry Bliss: 7/10



I'm not really a fruit-flavored kind of person. I'd much rather something peanut butter-y. This was a good flavor, don't get me wrong, but it's not a flavor I would kill for it it was the last one on the shelf in GNC. It tastes like berries but didn't blow me away.

---

PB&J: 6/10

This one was a little disappointing. Like I said, if peanut butter is involved, it's gotta be really good. This didn't taste like a PB&J to me. It wasn't awful, but I was so excited to try this flavor and the turnout wasn't as good as I wanted it to be.

---

Cinnamon Roll: 8/10


Tastes very much cinnamon-y. Maybe not quite a real, gooey cinnamon roll but pretty close. This is the flavor I have enjoyed most frequently and there's a good reason why it's so popular--it's delicious!

---

Strawberry Cheesecake: 7/10


A lot of people put a lot of hype on this flavor. I get it--there's a healthy alternative to strawberry cheesecake! It was yummy but I didn't get the cheesecake feeling of it. That's just me. It was still absolutely scrumptious however and I would definitely buy it again.

---

Peanut Butter Supreme: 8/10

Once again, a peanut butter-flavored one. It had to be good. This was definitely really good, no denying it, but I would've loved it a bit more probably if I lathered more peanut butter on it. ;) I would definitely get this flavor again. No doubt.

---

Lemon Cream Pie: 8/10
(Source)

Ahh, I really did feel like I was consuming a lemon cream pie with this one. It was very good and considering I am far from a lemon-loving person, this surprised me. Absolutely delicious.

---

Apple Pie: 7/10


I didn't love this one enough to give rave reviews about it. It was okay to me: nothing super special but it wasn't horrible. I may surpass this flavor in the future, but it's definitely worth trying.

---

Coconut Cashew: 10/10


One word to describe this flavor: incredible. This flavor was amazing. I absolutely loved the coconut component, and I adore cashews so it was definitely a winning combination. I can't wait to get my hands on this flavor again.

---

Vanilla Almond Crunch: 15/10

Did you like how I saved the best for last? I honestly expected for one of the peanut butter-infused flavors to be my favorite. WRONG. I also thought that this flavor was going to be really bland and boring, and that I wasn't going to be impressed. WRONG. This flavor was totally and completely insane. I could eat this protein bar all.the.time, it was THAT good. I was so depressed when I took the last bite. It was a bittersweet moment. Excuse me as I go order 100 boxes of this flavor...

---

I highly recommend you try a Quest bar. No other protein bar will EVER live up to them, I promise. They are natural and delicious. I can't wait to get more! 

Thank you to Quest Bar for allowing me to write this review. All opinions were my own and I was not compensated. 

Questions: Have you ever had a Quest bar? What's your favorite flavor?

  2. I really want to try their new bars. I loved the chocolate, but actually threw out the apple pie. I hear the new stuff tastes fantastic and natural though. They are great to keep on hand in my gym bag for emergencies!

    1. The apple pie disappointed me, not going to lie. I really want to try their new line. I think it's going to do really well in the markets! They are so great to have on hand when I have nowhere to get food and I am in a pinch. :)

  3. I've heard this are delish! To be honest though, I don't eat very many bars (very seldom). If I had to pick one, it would be Cinnamon Roll :)

  8. Hey Brittany!

    Just found your review on the Quest Bars and loved it! Thank you! Could you please tell me where you ordered them? I live in Austria and can't get them here and delivery from the UK would be a good option! Thank you!
