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:

And the source of the big lawsuit:

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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
