Product Review - Quest Protein Bars

If there is one pre-packaged convenience food I love, it's protein bars. They seriously make my life so much easier. I started eating them about a month in to my weight loss journey because my personal trainer recommended them. Why do I love them? They are are fantastic way to fuel your body and keep you full! Not to mention the fact that some of them taste just as good as a candy bar!

I'm always looking around for new protein bars to try so I was super excited when I got a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Quest Bar in my Jacked Pack. Let me tell you, IT WAS DELICIOUS! I knew that I had to try more of these wonderful bars! A quick visit to the product website showed me that there are 12 different flavors! Unfortunately a sampler pack was a little outside the budget so instead I went to GNC where they sell single bars. They also often have a buy 3 get 1 free deal so I picked out 4 flavors to try! The following are my opinions!

Cinnamon Roll

4/5 Stars: This bar was pretty tasty, especially since I microwaved it for 15 seconds! I would definitely buy this one again!

Peanut Butter & Jelly

3/5 Stars: This bar smelled like jelly but really only tasted like peanuts. Definitely messed with my senses. I didn't microwave this one because a hot PB&J just didn't sound appealing. That being said, it was a little harder to chew. Not bad, just not my favorite.

Apple Pie

5/5 Stars: This bar was great! I microwaved this one and my only complaint was that it probably could have used another 5 seconds. I loved that this bar had pieces of dried apple in it! I would gladly buy this one again.

Mixed Berry Bliss

3/5 Stars: I would say this bar was the disappointment of the group but I'm giving it 3 stars because it didn't taste bad, it just wasn't what I expected. I was thinking this bar would be more like a taffy, brightly colored. Instead it was granola colored and had pieces of dried fruit. I didn't microwave this bar and it was incredibly hard to chew. Next time, I'll be passing this one up!

I can't wait to go back to GNC and get 4 more to try!!

Until next time,
Lauren
