Nutrition Blueberry Muffin Protein Bars, 20g Protein, 2g Sugar, 5g Net Carb, High Fiber, Gluten Free, Keto Friendly, 12 Count

I got really excited when I heard there was a new flavor of Quest Bar. (I have tried most, but not all, of the existing flavors.) I was somewhat less excited when I heard this was a fruity flavor, as I am not much of a fan of the Quest Bars that have berry flavors in them. For some reason, those typically don't work as well for me. But, I figured, I could make myself eat a whole box of them and then just never order again if there was an issue. Anyway, I had a bunch of calories left over last night (I am counting calories this year) so I tried one. And it was actually quite good. Definitely the best berry flavored Quest Bar I've tried (I wouldn't say the best "fruity" one because the banana nut ones are still better, at least in my opinion). (These have 190 calories per bar, for what it's worth.) The berry flavor was relatively subtle and there was a definite "muffin" background to the flavor, as well. Texture-wise, this was great. It was softer than some of the other Quest Bar flavors I've tried lately (like the pumpkin pie one that was far too chewy) but not sticky, and it had some inclusions, for lack of a better word (blueberry-colored bits and such), so the texture wasn't 100% homogeneous. You can see the full ingredients list if you zoom in on the product images. This has dairy-based ingredients so it is not vegan. Please note it also contains tree nuts (almonds) It has an incredible amount of protein (21g) and fiber (14g) and is very low in sugar (I don't do the whole "net carbs" thing, but if you do, you can check out the nutrition facts panel, which is also available in the product images). It also has some fat (only 6g). I love that there are both protein AND fiber in these; so many bars have protein but lack the fiber. I tend to just use these for snacks, but if you were so inclined, these would actually make a respectable breakfast if you are in a hurry (perhaps paired with some yogurt to add a few more calories and some fat). I went into eating these expecting to not be "wowed," but I actually think I will incorporate this flavor into my regular ordering rotation.

I love quest protein bars and this is probably my favorite flavor. Tastes exactly like fresh baked blueberry muffin. I’m always in a rush in the morning and 1 or 2 of these on the way to work are perfect.

Perfect amount of protien and perfect amount of fiber. Low sugar content, gormet quality taste. Very low carbs. Excellent digestability, (not a heavy feeling,) yet satisfies hunger for hours. Perfect nutrition before workout. I give them out to my friends these are so exceptional. (I need two recurring orders per month.)

As far as protein bars go, this is definitely superior. Not amazing or gourmet but it's good and I would keep buying these only because they're a good meal substitute when you're on the go and fast food will wreck your dietary discipline. It's not burdened by that sawdust and taffy texture flavor thing that most protein bars are and I like that it's not horribly over sweet. It's still sweet though but if you close your eyes and image the texture being a muffin while you're eating it, the experience is more pleasant. But it is NOT a blueberry muffin so just deal with that weird predicament where you don't know why you're punishing yourself by eating this instead of a blueberry muffin. You know you don't deserve a blueberry muffin and if you did you'd feel guilty because it's a dessert, and how ridiculous is it to dumb down a dessert into a psuedo health food that forces you to confront the irony of loathing the very food you bought to make you feel better?

Oh wow! We love Quest bars-great protein/carb ratio and not dry and gritty. This was our first time trying the blueberry and it is, by far, our favorite now.

Love these blueberry protein bars. They are a fantastic in the go snack.

I enjoy a variety of different protein shakes and bars, tending to get bored with particular flavors from time to time, so I like the variety. This one was more of a let down for me. I found them to be kind of sticky, chewy and a bit overbearing in flavor, and then too, I saw the total number of carbohydrates per serving and felt that for MY needs it's pretty high. Oh sure, it's not so bad when you are figuring NET carbs but I try to keep my daily total carbs at between 50-75 grams, while getting around 75-80 grams of protein. There are better tasting choices to be had. My wife likes these enough that they won't go to waste but I don't care for them.

My favorite protein bar. Great flavor and textures for superior macros (compared to other bars, protein to calorie to fiber ratio)
