Quest Nutrition Double Chocolate Chunk Protein Bars, 20g Protein Bars, 1g Sugar, 4g Net Carb, Gluten Free, Keto Friendly, 12 Count

Quest has many good flavors but I find the Double Chocolate Chunk to be the best. It tastes like a very hearty chocolate chip cookie. Quest Bar are the indisputable #1 name in protein bars. Don't even pretend there's another competitor on the market, Quest is two letter grades above the next best bar. Trust me, I know this because for months I tried dang near every bar out there before even discovering Quest! Wasted time, wasted money, but it's given me a very good perspective on the overall protein bar market. Most protein bars are too many calories for too little protein. My general rule is anything less than 1 gram of protein for every 10 calories is not worth it. That'd be 200 calories for your basic 20g bar. So most brands are out right from the start. Balance Bar, Cliff, Atkins, these brands are of little use. Besides Quest, you're going to want to be looking at two brands: Pure Protein and Met-Rx. Pure Protein's Double Chocolate Deluxe flavor is 21 grams of protein for 180 calories, that's about as good as you're going to find. Met-Rx produces some highly efficient bars such as their Protein Plus brand Chocolate Roasted Peanut which is 32 grams of protein for 310 calories. Of course, you're going to want to be careful with that many calories, even if it is a lot of protein. There are, however, three highly notable reasons why Quest Nutrition's bars are decisively better than anything Pure Protein or Met-Rx produce. First of all, Quest Bars are the best tasting bars on the market, period. I don't know how they do it but these bars taste almost like real food. Compare that to the over-processed taste of most protein bars and you're sure to adore Quest. Secondly, Quest is nearly the only bar on the market to forgo "sugar alcohols." These are an ingredient that can cause major stomach pains! Check the label on your bars, many of them even contain a warning message because these sugar alcohols can and do cause problems. Thirdly, Quest is, calorie for calorie, the most efficient bar on the market. Their best 4 brands with 20 grams of protein and 160 calories are the top efficiency I've found out of any protein bar. It's worthy of noting that Quest Nutrition is in the midst of a class action lawsuit at the moment. It has not gone to court yet so take these allegations with a grain of salt. But they are accused of mislabeling the nutritional information in two areas: 1 -- It is said they do not have anywhere near as much as fiber as advertised -- which, frankly, would be a good thing! Each Quest bar is listed as having nearly 70% of our daily recommended fiber, and I eat 3 or 4 of these things a day! That's an awful lot of fiber. 2 -- It is said they have understated the calorie count by 20%. While this potential hiccup is worrying, it's important to note that even if this IS true (which has not been proven), Quest are STILL the best protein bars on the market! Make sure you stick to the lowest calorie Quest bars which are the following: Double Chocolate Chunk Chocolate Peanut Butter (not to be confused with Peanut Butter Supreme!) Strawberry Cheesecake Lemon Cream Pie These 4 bars are 160 calories each, which even at a potential 20% increase will be 200 calories. 200 calories isn't the #1 lowest on the market but these bars taste much, much better than any other bar so those few extra calories would be worth it, that's IF the allegations are even true, which have absolutely not been proven.

Great taste, very satisfying and filling.

I have been consuming quest bars since 2010. They have proven to be reliable over the years and for that I am grateful. They are convenient to have when I have to eat during my commute or in-between meetings at work, or when I am traveling. They also don't melt (unlike some others that have a coating on the outside) so you can throw them in your bag or the suitcase without worrying about the temperature. I have tried protein bars from many other brands and companies. The quest bar has the best macros if you are optimizing for protein with minimal carbs, and the ingredients are clean. I have tried most of their flavors and the double chocolate chunk is my favorite. If you are very sensitive to artificial sweeteners or any of the ingredients, your palate might not like these, so check the ingredients and the nutrition label before you buy, or try a bunch of the flavors because some might taste better than others for you. There is quite a bit of variability in texture and taste across these, which I think is a strength of these bars because that makes them available to a wider range of consumers with different preferences. Also, the price is comparatively better especially given these are the biggest in size compared to most other brands. I am yet to find another protein bar that exceeds all of these criteria.

One of the more realistic chocolate tasing bars I’ve had. Wish this could be made with less sugar alcohols.

Great price for a wholesome high protein snack or meal replacement.

Quest bars taste great. I eat one for breakfast every morning and sometimes as an afternoon snack.

I usually love these bars. The protein and fiber keep me full. I am high on the ADHD spectrum and the chocolate gives me a dopamine hit. They also even out blood sugar and help with anxiety. On my November order The bars were not expired but four out of 12 were rock hard and stale. I couldn't eat them. I figured it was a one time occurrence so I let it go. My December 5th box had 8 stale bars. I tried to microwave them but they were still rectangular rocks. Amazon will not let me return them so I have to contact Quest. I am hoping they will refund or replace with good bars so I can change my review to positive

Great meal substitute! I don't always eat breakfast so instead I have one of these or I keep one in the car or purse in case I'm out and don't eat and need something. I have low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and I need the protein to balance out any sugar so that I don't get too low or sick if I don't snack or eat right - this does the job because it's better than just grabbing a candy bar. If you're concerned about salt you may want to find something with less; this has 250mg of Sodium. It's great otherwise; it has 180mg Potassium; 25g Carbs; 1g Sugar (Stevia) and 20g Protein. I tried the cookie dough (good) and the cookies and cream (better) and this one, double chocolate chunk (best) is my favorite. It's firm/chewy like a brownie consistency and has chocolate chunks. They all (so far) have the same bit of tangy aftertaste but this particular flavor has less of that in my opinion. If you're looking for a better than most for you kind of protein bar - you should at least give these a try. They are filling when you drink it with some water and really helps keep my blood sugar even for several hours as a regular meal would.
