Quest Bars Review & Giveaway!

Quest Bars Sample Pack



If you have been reading my blogs especially my other blog Beauty, Fitness & Health...Oh my! You know I have a sweet tooth or more like sweet teeth.  There isn't a cake, cookie or pie I don't like.  So when I heard about Quest Nutrition's Quest Bars I was intrigued.  Quest Bars come in flavors like Apple Pie, Lemon Cream, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and many other wonderful flavors. I did some research ( mostly on Twitter) and the consensus was that this is the best tasting protein bar out there.  Ok, I'm sold! I wanted to try them and share my thoughts with my readers. So I contacted Quest Nutrition for a sample.  They sent me a 12 bar sample pack!
Quest Bars Mixed Berry
Mixed Berry Bliss!



Here are my thoughts right after I tried each one:
Apple Pie-Tasted like cinnamon and apples two of my favorite things.  This one was my favorite until I tried the next one.

Chocolate Brownie-Was so good and chocolately.  It wasn't like a milk chocolate, but a deep rich chocolate.  So good after I putting it in the microwave for 15 seconds.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough-Nice cookie dough flavor.  I could taste a chocolate chip in every bite.

Strawberry Cheesecake-Really didn't taste any cheesecake flavor, but there was a strong strawberry flavor which I loved.

Vanilla Almond Crunch-Strong almond flavor.  More like a roasted almond.  Had a nice crunch.

Cinnamon Roll-Loved the cinnamon flavor. Just the right amount of sweetness.  Another one that was even more delicious warm.

Coconut Cashew-Tasted like a sugar cookie to me.  Really sweet and delicious after 15 seconds in the microwave!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Quest Bar


Peanut Butter and Jelly (shown above)- Firstly I'm not a really big fan of peanut butter bars, but I have to say this one tasted like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Also, do you see the big chunks of peanuts in there?!

So happy I liked them.  Quest Bars have at least 20g of protein.  There are no artificial sweeteners, flavors, sugar, gluten or junk. Check out the ingredients here. I felt good about eating them after a workout, as a snack or dessert.  I have to tell you these bars kept me full for hours.  I was so excited about them I got halfway through the 12 pack sampler and said I must have a giveaway!  The wonderful people at Quest Nutrition agreed! Two of my readers will each receive one 12 pack sampler.
