What protein bar tastes the best?
My favorite are Quest bars. I like the Coconut Cashew, Chocolate Chip cookie dough, and Banana Nut muffin (reminds me of banana bread). Good ratio of carbs/fat/calories too. 20 grams of protein each (though I only do 1/2 bar at a time).

For times I am on the go, I love Quest bars. I love the new S'mores flavor as well as chocolate chip cookie dough, chocolate brownie, and cookies and cream. The peanut butter and jelly one is good too. I know tastes vary greatly by person so take this with a grain of salt.
The best tasting "close to a candy bar" bar I recently discovered and only have as a treat if I am really unable to eat real food is Pure Protein Chocolate Salted Caramel. I have never found them in a store, but all of the bars I mention can be found on netrition.com which is a great site, with free shipping if your order is over $50, and the stuff arrives in two days.
I wonder if netrition is based close to DC and that's why we get it in two days? Sorry that wasn't your experience :(
I agree - I don't choose Quest bars over having chicken salad or turkey and cheese or shrimp or something that is actual food (not a formed mound in a package) if I can help it - but it's awesome in a pinch :) I have heard that they overstate their protein and understate their carbs, but I have found that while traveling or if I am at our office where they bring lunch in and there are no options for me, Quest it is! :)
That's interesting that they may be overstate the protein and understate the carbs. Wonder how they get by with that, if it's true. I do like them especially the S'more, Cookie Dough and Coconut Almond. I usually get mine at GNC because they have them buy 3, get 1 free. Lately though they leave an aftertaste. I love Kind bars but they are higher in carbs than I like.
I like the taste of Think Thin bars but they too leave me with a yucky feeling. Atkins bars are delicious but they contain soy and I'm allergic to soy.

Quest bars are easily my favorite. I have one for breakfast 6 days a week.
