Quest Bars & Traveling Abroad

Hi all,

I really don't eat protein bars, I think I've had one since my surgery and it was split in half and eaten on two different days.. Anyway, I am leaving August 4th for London and will be gone for two weeks. I have friends traveling with me this time and our schedule is already jam packed with activities to fill our day. I plan to do a shake (2 scoops) in the morning, but will probably need to keep a protein bar on hand most days. I have only tried the Peanut Butter & Jelly Quest bars, and they are good enough, but would like to know which other flavors are tasty. I may get a variety pack ahead of time, but I really don't want to eat them before I go (I try to keep them for "emergency" protein only).

Also, does anyone have any experience bringing protein powder abroad? and the best way to pack it so it does look suspicious? I know this must sound insane, but I am so paranoid about going through customs and there being a problem!

Have a wonderful evening 

I do not have any answers to your questions but I am going to Londa

on in October would love to hear your plans.

I love the cashew coconut, apple pie, banana bread, peanut butter surprise ( I think that's what it's called)   , 

I would stick with the all natural ones. I've seen some people say they dump on them. But others say they've done great. Maybe just try the ones you want to before you leave. 

Thanks, I'll have a look at those :)

My very, very favorite bars are the Detour low sugar 15g protein bars. They are YUM...all three flavors I have tried are just SUPER!

You will find the yogurt in London to be SPECTACULAR! Even the store brand as Tesco is just yummmmm! And the cheeses--YUMMMMM!

Enjoy, one of my very favorite cities!

Thanks! I've actually been several times (my boyfriend lives there), but this time we are doing several day trips out of the city, so I want to be prepared with the bars. I'll have a look at the Detour bars, thanks again for the suggestion :)

My favorite at the moment is chocolate chip cookie dough which has the most protein of any of their bars. Vitalady sells Lean Dessert protein samples in packages that are pre-measured and clearly labeled.  I have no trouble with taking them on planes in the states. 

As a Londoner (I was born there) who goes back at least once a year, be assured that it is wholly possible to eat well there.   We are NOT a third world country LOL

However, if you want to pack protein bars or powder, just put the majority of them in your checked luggage and you will have no problem ...

Part of my excitement of going back is the ability to eat good food (better than I can get here - if a LOT more expensive because of the quality ...)

Nothing to offer on bars or shakes as I have never had either ...

Have a great trip. 

I would suggest that you take the protein shake in its sealed container. Better to take the protein bars and shake with, since you might not find the same ones in London.
