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

Love these bars. They taste great, contain high protein, fiber, & very little sugar. I keep these on hand all the time for snacking or a quick light meal.

These Quest Nutrition Blueberry Muffin Bars are truly one of a kind. I'm sure anyone who is into fitness and high protein diet is aware that although the healthy alternatives are good for you, they don't always taste that good. At most they are bland, in some cases they are barely palatable. These Quest Nutrition Blueberry Muffin Bars are a game changer in the protein bar category. Believe me I've tried every possible brand and flavor before finally arriving at this conclusion. Here are the factors which make this bar my quintessential choice: • It contains 21 grams of protein. Protein leads to early satiety and eating this one bar for breakfast keeps cravings at bay till lunch in my case. It's over 40% of total daily value. • The protein is not from non vegetarian sources. It's a blend of Whey and Milk Protein so it's essentially vegetarian. Anyone who's a vegetarian can admit to the challenges of keeping up the protein intake in their diet. This can be an effective and easy to adhere solution to get a high intake of proteins while still being cruelty free as no animals were harmed in procuring these proteins. • The bars score high on the taste scale. They remind me of blueberry muffins in terms of flavor and aroma. They taste like a dessert more than a protein bar. • They have all the taste without the extra calories and fat- Although they are inspired by the all famous blueberry muffins, they are a guilt free way of indulging the sweet tooth. They contain just 6 grams of fat which stacks up to a minuscule 9% of Daily Value. They just contain 2 grams of sugar. • For added sweetness without the calories they contain Stevia which is a safe plant based sweetener. • These Quest Nutrition Blueberry Muffin Bars are a great source of fiber. They contain 14 grams of fiber which is 56% of DV. Fiber is essential for a healthy gut and bowel movement. I do switch to different flavors of Quest Bars from time to time but inadvertently go back to these Blueberry Muffin Bars. These can be used to make a variety of delicious healthy recipes using low cal ingredients. My favorite one is Blueberry Muffin Popsicles from the Quest Blog. I've attached the recipe in the photos accompanying this.

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.

This is definitely one of my favorite protein bars by far. I can't handle Barbell Protein Bars, made with whey and casein. Casein can trigger GI issues, and Barbell Protein Bars' low fiber doesn't help. Surprisingly, for the 14 grams of fiber in most Quest Bars, I never get any stomach issues, and I prefer Quest in terms of texture, taste, satiety, price, and overall nutrition facts. Side note for GI folks: If you are worried about GI issues, drink lots of water after eating. Fourteen grams of fiber is a lot, and it will keep you full and regular—if you drink enough water to move the food! The more fiber you eat, the more water your body needs to push the fiber. Otherwise, it'll get stuck. Anyway, back to the review: Blueberry Muffin is one of my top three flavors to date (Oatmeal Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough round out the top three). It's super tasty and tastes like a blueberry muffin in bar form (hard to explain, but try, and you'll understand). It's filling and has the right texture. Why 4/5: it's still overpriced, and the price fluctuates a lot, so it's a waiting game for when Quest isn't price gouging. That alone could lead it to be a 3/5, which it deserves for price gouging. However, most other protein bar companies are just as greedy. Price Tip: Use the Honey App to monitor price increases and decreases and avoid buying when prices are artificially inflated.

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.

Good

It has the protein that I was looking which is a plus. But the flavor was not good and neither was the super hard texture. If flavor and texture doesn’t matter to you, the product does fit into many diets. I probably wouldn’t buy again

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