Talk to me about Quest protein bars..
The taste varies by the bar. I have several I love, some I hate and a few that I think are OK...as do most people, but their lists will differ and they'll love the ones I hate.
I use Quest bars for both protein and as a fiber supplement. During loss I only ate a half a bar a day, but now I eat a full one.
My personal favorites, in order of favoriteness (is that a word?):
Chocolate brownie (heat in microwave 10-15 seconds and WOW)
Chocolate chip cookie dough (yeah, same taste and consistency)
Banana nut muffin
Lemon cream pie
Mixed berry bliss

To try them out, Vitamin Shoppe or GNC stores if there's one near you. Quest will send you free samples of two flavors. I get the best ongoing prices from Quest or Amazon. I eat one bar a day like clockwork so I buy several boxes at a time.

See! Exactly what I mean. Of those four, you hit 3 of my very least favorite flavors and one I think is just OK.
It's so much a matter of personal taste!

My favourites are the chocolate fudge, peanut butter and jelly, vanilla almond crunch and mixed berry bliss. I'd like to try the cookie dough one, but am leery of anything with stevia, which tastes "weedy" to me.
I've looked at the peanut butter cup things, but although the protein is good, the fibre is low, so trying those will have to wait. Right now every bite has to earn its way into my mouth.

I love Quest Bars. They have been a lifesaver during a difficult period with Sleeve complications. I can eat a whole bar. I still don't understand if the Carbs are 20, or only 3 grams after you take the fiber count away....very confusing to me!
Best one is:
1) Chocolate chip cookie dough
Next is
2) Chocolate brownie - heat for 15 seconds in microwave
