Another vote for Quest bars.

I've held off on buying them before my surgery because I wasn't sure how well I'd do limiting myself to just one at a time. They are that dang good.

I do have a specific favorite flavor, too. It is : all of them !!!

The flavor is so good that you almost don't trust the nutritional label. Great source of Fiber, too.

My fave Protein Bar is Quest! Premier is my favorite Protein Shake but their bars leave a lot to be desired, in my opinion of course. Here are my reasons why, I don't like bars that are coated, I'm not willing to give up almost 300 calories for a bar, prefer to keep my sugar at 6g or less and you can't make warm and delicious Cookies with them. Yep, I said cookies. One Bar makes 4 - 2" cookies. I tear them, place on a paper plate and microwave for 20 seconds. Sometimes I sprinkle a lil Splenda if they have chocolate chunks in them to sweeten them up. Here are 16 different flavors:

  • Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Cookies & Cream, Double Chocolate Chunk, Chocolate Brownie,
  • White Chocolate Raspberry, Cinnamon Roll Flavor, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Coconut Cashew,
  • Strawberry Cheesecake, Apple Pie, vanilla Almond Crunch, Peanut Butter Supreme,
  • Banana Nut Muffin, Peanut Butter & Jelly, Mixed berry Bliss, Lemon Cream Pie
Here's the nutrition info using the Chocolate/Peanut Butter bars in each brand:

QUEST

Calories: 160

Total Fat 5g

Sat Fat 1g

Trans Fat 0g

Cholesterol 5mg

Sodium 240mg

Potassium 200mg

Total Carbs 25g

Dietary Fiber 17g

Sugars 2g

Erythritol 5g

Protein 20g

PREMIER

Calories: 280

Total Fat 7g

Sat Fat 3.5g

Trans Fat 0g

Cholesterol 10mg

Sodium 420mg

Potassium 190mg

Total Carbs 23g

Dietary Fiber 1g

Sugars 8g

Protein 30g

I hope you find one (or many) that you love!

Some of the Quest bars have the sugar alcohol that makes me very sick, also yes it is more sugar but as double of protein, usually is my lunch. I have to say that I'm getting tired of Protein Bars or shakes. I just wish I could eat " normal" food and still meet my protein goal.

Thought about y'all this morning as I took that first bite of my 1/2 Quest Cinnamon Roll Protein bar warm and tasty (sprinkled lightly with Splenda) out of the microwave ... Super Yum :P

Quest changed their recipe and now I am devastated.

I like Quest bars, too. I like Choc Chip Cookie Dough and Raspberry white chocolate. If you go to GNC and join their discount program for $20 you can get a box of 12 for $25.

It was changed this month. I am so incredibly sad. They keep saying it is for the better. But the ingredient change is not for the better and I am so sad. I don't want corn in my Quest bars. If I wanted corn anything I would just eat corn :-(

I messaged them very up set and they responded and blah blah blah. But here is the crap they are trying to say is "good"

It's less Fiber and less healthy

More fat

And just bull :-(

Hmmmm I might actually like the change. The old fiber in them was HIGHLY processed chemically:

http://blog.fooducate.com/2013/12/30/are-quest-bars-really-as-nutritious-as-claimed/

And the source of the big lawsuit:

https://m.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/1vihyr/the_quest_bar_lawsuitand_why_science_shows_its/

So I'm game for the change.

Thank you for the info. I have much more reading to do. The taste is growing on me. But I am still very sad that my old ones are gone.

I haven't tasted the new formulas yet so I may be sad too after all. The two newest flavors (mint choc and s'mores) have always had the corn fiber but they've never been my favorites because they are the "crumbly" kind for want of a better word, like the Cookies and Cream ones and I prefer the smoother tootsie roll textured ones so time will tell!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
