1. Cookies and Cream (Ranked Best Quest Bar Flavor Overall)

Taste Rating: 10/10

Ingredients: Protein Blend (Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate), Soluble Corn Fiber (Prebiotic Fiber), Almonds, Water, Cocoa Butter, Natural Flavours, Erythritol, Palm Oil, Dextrin, Cocoa (Processed with Alkali), Sea Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Sunflower Lecithin, Sucralose, Coconut Oil, Xanthan Gum, Baking Soda, Steviol Glycosides (Stevia).

Detailed Review:

Cream sandwiched between two delicious cookies is a treat adored across the globe, and Quest has found a way to make it nutritious. Tasting much like an Oreo, Quest’s Cookies and Cream bar brings the same delight but without all the sugar and additives. Where it beats other protein bar brands is in its almost-identical Oreo-like taste. Many other brands have also introduced similar cookies and cream flavours, but they couldn’t quite make these taste like Oreo, thanks to the limitation on their ingredients. For this reason, Cookies and Cream is a tremendous feat accomplished by Quest. They have been able to produce almost the same taste without stepping out of the parameters set for any top-quality proteins-bar brand. Add to the taste the muscle building and fat burning benefits of a protein supplement, and it’s the ideal snack.

2. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Taste Rating: 10/10

Ingredients: Protein Blend (Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate),Soluble Corn Fiber (Prebiotic Fiber), Almonds, Water, Unsweetened Chocolate, Natural Flavours, Erythritol, Cocoa Butter, Palm Oil, Sea Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Sucralose, Steviol Glycosides (Stevia).

Detailed Review:

If there’s anything in the entire world which could beat the chocolate brownie, it would be the chocolate chip cookie dough. Quest’s protein bar featuring chocolate chip cookie dough is chocolate chip cookie dough at its very best. Tasting heavenly, these protein packed treats melt in your mouth. Instead of cocoa powder or cocoa butter, Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bars have real chocolate chips. These are meant for you if you are a chocolate-lover and want to feel the ultimate pleasure of chocolate chip cookie dough melting in your mouth without putting your health at risk. The protein packed supplement will supply your body with the energy it needs to keep you active and help you burn fat.

Detailed Review:

The newest product from the Quest Nutrition line, and one which we are probably the most excited for! It promised to be the most amazing flavour and the perfect texture profile, and this one totally delivers. Once again Quest have wowed us with this unbeatable flavour. A protein bar coated in milk chocolate, topped with sprinkles with a soft, squishy doughnut-like cake centre.

Upon the first bite you get a lovely milk flavour followed by the aftertaste of dark chocolate. This dual flavour paves the way for the sweetness enhanced with the chocolate sprinkles that coat the bar. Whilst there is no typical buttery, pastry like feeling of a normal doughnut, close your eyes and you still get the same flavour. After all, we are all about flavour! The texture comes as no surprise, being a soft consistency, fooling the taste buds into thinking that you are eating a doughnut – just a healthier one at that.

One of the more recent flavours introduced by Quest Nutrition, Caramel Chocolate Chunk is a great choice if you have a hankering for indulgent chocolate and caramel in a protein bar. A popular sellers since its introduction, Caramel Chocolate Chunk delivers on Quest's mission to deliver healthy, high protein bars without the use of sugar delivering 20g of protein with just 180 calories per bar making these a great choice for anyone on a diet or else lean bulking and trying to gain muscle without surplus fat.

Detailed Review:

It’s as good as it gets. Actually, it’s the zenith. It’s chocolate doubled, and it’s called Quest Chocolate Chunk. The simplest way to put it is that it’s the same delicious taste of Quest chocolate but in “double” the amount. And this twice as much chocolate does something even more delicious: it waters down the taste of proteins to make you feel nothing but the absolute pleasure of chocolate. There are people who like the taste of proteins. If you are one of those, the double chocolate chunk is not for you. But if you are one of those die-hard chocolate-lovers, Quest made it for you.

6. Chocolate Brownie

Taste Rating: 10/10

Ingredients: Protein Blend (Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate), Soluble Corn Fiber (Prebiotic Fiber), Almonds, Cocoa (Processed with Alkali), Water, Natural Flavours, Palm Oil, Sea Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Sucralose, Steviol Glycosides (Stevia).

Detailed Review:

Delicious is certainly a term that come to mind at the sound of the word chocolate. You just need to say chocolate to some, and a rush of sugar and a bad day are in their future. But, with Quest’s Chocolate Brownie bar, chocolate means a protein supplement sure to fuel every cell in your body. And that’s what you get if you bake the Quest Bar in a microwave for 15 seconds. The only difference is, it’s not glutted with unnecessary carbohydrates. It won’t make you fat. Put simply, it’s the taste of a chocolate brownie minus the only bad thing about it. It is rich of all-healthful proteins. The Quest chocolate bars are actually the most pleasurable way to turn yourself into a fit, muscular person.

7. Chocolate Peanut Butter

Taste Rating: 10/10

Ingredients: Protein Blend (Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate), Soluble Corn Fiber (Prebiotic Fiber), Peanuts, Water, Erythritol, Cocoa (Processed with Alkali), Natural Flavours, Palm Oil, Sea Salt, Steviol Glycosides (Stevia).

Detailed Review:

Chocolate coupled with the taste of peanuts has put many candy companies on the map. Quest’s Chocolate Peanut Butter bar has certainly followed in toe. Made to supply your body with the additional protein necessary to build lean muscle and to help maintain a healthy weight, the Chocolate Peanut Butter bar ranks among the best in the Quest bar line of products. Quest bars taste much the same as the big box candy bars, but again, without the only side-effect--carbohydrates. And you can do all this without even gaining even a pound of weight or risking the health of your teeth. It’s nothing but the highest-standard natural proteins which will bring your body in the ideal shape.

8. Lemon Cake

Taste Rating: 8/10

Ingredients: Protein Blend (Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate), Soluble Corn Fiber (Prebiotic Fiber), Almonds, Erythritol, Water, Natural Flavours, Palm Oil, Sea Salt, Citric Acid, Steviol Glycosides (Stevia).

Detailed Review:

Lemon Cake replaced the old lemon cream pie flavour which was the worst selling bar. Lemon Cake tastes much better with less of the harsh lemon and more of the cake flavour helping this one shine. You can enjoy it at the gym or as a quick snack to ward off binging. The creamy flavour checks the taste of lemon and makes the bar a finely balanced, smooth delight to have at any time in the day. The best thing about the lemon cake bar is that it doesn’t have the overly strong flavour of lemon which was a complaint with the old lemon cream pie flavour. It stops beautifully short of the point where it gets excessively tart. The ideal balance of texture and flavour of the lemon cake bar from Quest make it the ideal high protein snack.

9. Mint Chocolate Chunk

Taste Rating: 9/10

Ingredients: Protein Blend (Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate), Soluble Corn Fiber (Prebiotic Fiber), Water, Almonds, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa (Processed with Alkali), Natural Flavours, Erythritol, Palm Oil, Dextrin, Sea Salt, Sunflower Lecithin, Sucralose, Color (Fruit Juice, Turmeric), Coconut Oil, Xanthan Gum, Baking Soda, Peppermint Oil, Steviol Glycosides (Stevia)

Detailed Review:

All famous chocolate brands have tried it, and (surprisingly) there is quite a large number of people who simply love the combination of mint with chocolate. Quest’s Chocolate Mint bars are meant for exactly this class of chocolate-mint lovers. If you like After Eight's, you will love Quest’s Mint Chocolate Chip bar. Again, it’s Quest- which means all the pleasure and delight of chocolate but without the fattening carbohydrates. The protein packed supplement will satisfy your hunger and slow down digestion. With Quest bars, you won’t be just satisfying your craving for mint chocolates; you also will be building muscles alongside.

10. S’Mores

Detailed Review:

S’ Mores is nothing but Quest’s baking at its very best. Its chocked full of Quest’s delicious chocolate and equally delicious marshmallow and crisp cracker pieces, producing the ultimate melt-in-your-mouth product. This completely gluten free protein supplement snack is the optimal choice for anyone looking to fight off cravings. The protein packed treat slows down digestion, which leaves the body feeling full much longer.

Detailed Review:

This is a bar that has divided the people more than all others. Some love it; others absolutely despise it. Quest has produced it by bringing together a unique combination of almonds, raspberries, and chocolate. Not everybody has welcomed it. There are people who consider any innovation to chocolate as a heretic adulteration to their most sacrosanct blessing. They would never accept anything other than nuts in their chocolate. If you are one of these people, you won’t like the white chocolate raspberry bars either. But if you are from the camp which loves to experiment with chocolate and try it in as many foods and ways as possible, you might actually find it a lovely combination here. You might even get addicted to it. Either way, choosing to try the Quest’s White Chocolate Raspberry bar will fill your body with the necessary amount of protein to fight off cravings all while working to build muscle mass.

12. Oatmeal Chocolate Chip

Taste Rating: 8/10

Ingredients: Protein Blend (Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate), Soluble Corn Fiber (Prebiotic Fiber), Almonds, Water, Pecans, GlutenFree Oats, Unsweetened Chocolate, Erythritol, Natural Flavours, Cocoa Butter, Sea Salt, Cinnamon, Sucralose, Steviol Glycosides (Stevia).

Detailed Review:

One of three new flavours from Quest, this bar is likely to be enjoyed by those who prefer a tasty bar of a more conservative persuasion, as while it may be new, we wouldn't say it's groundbreaking, particularly given that it comes from a brand that has produced pumpkin pie flavour bars in the past. That being said, it is delicious, with a satisfying oatmeal flavour and texture all the way through and a touch of cinnamon bringing a hint of warmth and sweetness. Meanwhile, the occasional chocolate chip imparts a small element of surprise to this enjoyable but otherwise relatively unremarkable bar, which is essentially their Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and the Cinnamon Roll bars rolled into one. If you're looking for a staple protein bar that tastes like a real cookie and has a pleasingly gritty texture to get your teeth around, you won't be disappointed with the Quest Oatmeal Chocolate Chip bar. If you're looking for a new taste sensation on the other hand, you might want to try one of their other bars, such as the new blueberry muffin flavour (below). Whichever one you settle on, you can enjoy it with an element of smugness, knowing that while you're munching on your chosen bar you're supporting your body's natural muscle building and recovery processes.

13. Blueberry Muffin

Taste Rating: 10/10

Ingredients: Protein Blend (Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate), Soluble Corn Fiber (Prebiotic Fiber), Almonds, Water, Erythritol, Dried Blueberries, Palm Kernel Oil, Natural Flavours, Cocoa Butter, Sea Salt, Cinnamon, Sucralose, Baking Soda, Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum, Steviol Glycosides (Stevia)

Detailed Review:

Another new flavour to hit the shelves, the blueberry muffin Quest bar has managed surpass the huge amount of hype surrounding it and attracted a great deal of positive feedback, even garnering pleasant surprise from those who tend to avoid fruity bars (perhaps having tried one of the more unique contenders above). The taste, smell and texture are uncanny, with pieces of dried blueberry and generous chunks of what feels like real muffin, and a genuine blueberry muffin flavour that begins with a subtle sweetness and develops into a punchier, more full-on flavour as you chew. Whether you're a fan of fruity protein bars or you just really WANT to like them, we certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend this pleasing offering. Who knows, you might just become a convert. And all the while you'll have the added bonus of knowing that by eating Quest’s Blueberry Muffin bar, you're supporting your body's protein needs.

14. Birthday Cake

Detailed Review:

Go Quest bars, it’s your birthday. Well it’s someone’s birthday in the world right? Celebrate with the Quest Birthday Cake bar. It’s said that birthday cake calories don’t’ count when it is your birthday, but you don’t have to worry about calories with the Birthday Cake flavoured bar. The low calorie and low carbohydrate bar means you can enjoy the flavour of birthday cake, without the extra sugar.
