I’ve tried this with several different flavors, and ironically, brownie is my least favorite... but, none of them have been bad. So far, my favorites have been peanut butter brownie smash (hands down favorite!), chocolate chip cookie dough, oatmeal chocolate chip and white chocolate raspberry. Double chocolate chunk, pumpkin pie, cinnamon roll and birthday cake were good, but not on my everyday rotation. The bottom line is that if you’re looking for a little low carb, high protein variety, this may be a good option for you.

Definitely microwave for a few seconds

I've noticed that the Quest bars can vary in texture quite a bit...seasonal flavors (Peppermint and Pumpkin Pie) have been a soft, great texture while some of the older bars can be very hard and chewy...well if you microwave them for a few seconds they come back to life! The Blueberry Muffin is fantastic warmed up as is the Chocolate Cookie dough. So far all of the flavors that I've tried have been fantastic!

Hit and miss

GNC keeps asking for a review, but I can't even find the actual product to review that I've been using auto-deliver on for over a year.I have an auto subscription for the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough without the chocolate covering. Why aren't they on the site to review?These are hit and miss with GNC. Sometimes they ship quickly and sometimes it takes a week and a half. You never know when they will come and tracking can be spotty. I will ??say though, that one time they determined an order was lost in the mail and sent out a replacement right away.These bars are either the perfect texture and taste or they aren't and there is no in between. There is a fine line between chewy and rubbery with these. Try popping a rubbery one in the microwave for seven seconds ... MoreGNC keeps asking for a review, but I can't even find the actual product to review that I've been using auto-deliver on for over a year.I have an auto subscription for the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough without the chocolate covering.

There is a fine line between chewy and rubbery with these. Try popping a rubbery one in the microwave for seven seconds and it is more palatable. But, when they are good, they are amazing! They taste like they have Hershey's chocolate in them and the texture is perfect. Sometimes they have a very slight coconut flavor, but it isn't common thankfully.It doesn't matter if you get them on Amazon or GNC, the odds of a bad box are the same. The only thing that is different is that I can be guaranteed to get them in one day on Amazon. I'm not sure why I still use Subscribe and Save actually.I wish they'd let me use my points on my subscribe and save, but you have to go to a brick and mortar for that which is annoying.

Quest Protein Bars and Protein Chips

The protein chips are a good alternative to regular chips if you follow a gluten free or low carb lifestyle. The prices are reasonable compared to some other suppliers. Sweet chilli are my favourite. The protein bars again offer a good sweet treat for Keto or low carb diets. The birthday cake and lemon cake are my personal favourites even though they upset my stomach if I eat an entire bar - probably the type of fibre used.

Quest is One of the Best

Quest has a wide variety of protein bars from Oatmeal Chocolate Chip to Blueberry Muffin. Me, I'm a peanut butter, chocolate lover, each bar has 20 protein, 4 carbs and 1 sugar. They're tasty and this is my go to food in the mornings. I am a senior who had my sleeve done 9 yrs ago best thing, I've ever done for me. You need the protein and I personally like their new snack bars, chips to help me stay within the bariatric food plan which I struggle with. Quest is one of the best flavored ones and I highly recommend them.

Quest is the Goat of Pro’Bars

I LOVE all the Quest Bars…They’re an Excellent, Delicious way to add protein to my daily intake..They are soft & chewy, almost like a cookie dessert fresh out of the oven; especially if you warm them for a bit in the microwave (10 seconds)….and I sometimes like to make a little Swerve frosting to sprinkle up top! YummY!Highly recommend! 10 Stars!

Tasty, soft! My favorite!

I absolutely love this flavor of the Quest bars. It’s also softer and tastes amazingly great! I highly received these! I had RNY surgery many years ago and these are a great tool to help me keep my protein intake up and get me through emergencies while stuck out shopping. Try these! They satisfy your hunger without causing you to swerve into a bad choice!

These bars gave me terrible

These bars gave me terrible hand eczema. No other bars do, and no other food does. The eczema started after the last "improved formula" change. Unfortunately, I kept eating the bars for another year after the eczema began, unaware that the Quest Bars were the problem. Since I stopped eating this brand, the eczema has healed and I have had no flareups. I never isolated which ingredient in the bars caused the problem. I did write the company and asked if Quest Bar ingredients are sourced in China. Their response was that they obtain their ingredients "worldwide," which I suppose means "yes." I'm giving the product a "1" rating because the new, improved formula was anything but an improvement in my case, but I'm recommending the product to others because Your Mileage ... MoreThese bars gave me terrible hand eczema.

I'm giving the product a "1" rating because the new, improved formula was anything but an improvement in my case, but I'm recommending the product to others because Your Mileage May Vary, as they say. The only other caveat is that the bars are quite high in fiber - maybe too much if you like to eat more than one bar at a time.
