No gelatin ("hydrolyzed animal protein"), which can help unhealthy nails, hair and skin but does nothing for muscles or organs. No legume (pea, bean, soy) protein, which is not nutritionally complete. Protein bars that contain gelatin have less useful protein than the number of grams of protein seems to indicate, especially if gelatin is near the beginning of the ingredients list. Bars that contain legume protein have fewer grams of complete protein than the protein gram number indicates. Legume protein is still more useful to the body than gelatin is. Of the Quest bars that I've tasted, Double Chocolate Chunk and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough are my favorites. Also less over-processed than other protein bars.

I honestly love these bars. I had been seeing them all over social media and finally caved. they do not taste like protein bars. The taste and texture is so close to cookie dough. I made my boyfriend try (who is really not into "healthy" things but loves cookie dough) and he stole the box from me! Literally brought it to work with him and he has one every day mid afternoon to hold him over until dinner. I also love putting them in the microwave for about 10 seconds. I wish these came in a bigger box because we go through 2 boxes a month a this point. Taste, texture, protein, low sugar, it's all a win for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars This brand helps curb my urge for non healthy snacks

My favorite brand of high protein bar, I feel like they are not glorified candy bars like some, I think they have more healthy ingredients, also a better taste. Kinda taste like something a diabetic should hide while eating. I buy them often, in many of this brands flavor. I think the price is a little high, but so is everything, so for me they are worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent bar, gets the job done

Has decent macros and tastes better than most protein bars. It's nothing crazy, but feels like a good value for the cost. Decent size, not too dry, and low sugar content.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly tasty protein bar that doesn't taste like health food

B. · April 18, 2025

I've been enjoying these bars for a while now, and they truly stand out among protein snacks. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor is incredibly authentic—it tastes just like sneaking a spoonful of cookie dough from the bowl, but without the guilt.The texture is soft and satisfying, with just the right amount of chewiness. Whether I need a quick breakfast, a post-workout refuel, or a midday snack, these bars fit the bill perfectly.​ Overall, these bars offer a delicious and nutritious option that doesn't compromise on taste. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a protein-packed snack that feels like a treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tasting protein - worth the cost, and GREAT for keto

O.A. · January 27, 2025

If you've read many other reviews of these, you've probably come across many others that agree that these taste great, but the concern is usually that they're costly for protein bars. I can confirm both of those statements. If you're looking for an affordable protein bar that will primarily provide protein, these may not be your best bet. For me, I'm not mainly looking for protein so much as a good tasting, sweet treat that I can indulge while on the keto diet. If you haven't tried the keto diet, one of the primary restrictions of it is sugar, so if you're someone with any kind of a sweet tooth, you're going to have to try and find satisfaction with sugar-free foods, most of which just aren't nearly as tasty. Finding something that can work as a dessert was practically impossible on keto, but these bars are great for it. They are expensive (a dozen for $24, so even buying in bulk, they're still $2 each, but I never see them in stores anywhere), but they really do taste like you're munching on some legit chocolate chip cookie dough, which is normally a HUGE no no with keto. They only have 4 net carbs per bar, so you can have one of these for dessert every day, guilt free and not cheat on your keto diet (the most important part to get the keto diet to work is to not cheat on it). These are definitely an indulgence that's worth their high price if you're on keto and still want to eat something sweet every now and then.

My favorite flavor Quest protein bar! I enjoy these every other day for a quick energy boost before or after working out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Taste good, but heavy use of soy and whey protein isolate

T. · March 14, 2025

Struggling to get enough protein in my diet, so decided to try these. They taste pretty good. But then I read the ingredients and noticed the first listed (meaning most) are soy and whey protein isolates. I am using an aromatase inhibitor medication that you should not consume isolates with, so I can't use these. My husband likes them though so he will use them instead. I noticed most of these high protein bars and shakes use protein isolates - bummer for people who have to steer clear of them like me.
