I FINALLY was able to find and purchase the Pumpkin Pie Flavoured Quest Bar Protein Bars! I bought 3 of them :)

I've been waiting since yesterday to have one this morning and BAM - contains Almonds and Pecans!

I have a nut allergy (not peanuts, almonds or cashews, but Walnuts & Pecans will kill me!!)  so I am always reading labels and there are a few of the Quest Bar Flavours I know to avoid, but Pecans in Pumpkin Pie?

So disappointing!

That is really odd, you'd think they would avoid nuts since it's extra calories and fat. I haven't tried any of the quest bars yet, but I've been looking into them since my work does not have a fridge to store food and it's not easy to find snacks that can live through a 9 hour shift.

There are quite a few good flavours and they have helped me out when I leave work late or are too rushed in the morning.  I make a point though to not have more than 1 a week.

Incredibly disturbing!  My husband opened it up and tried it. He's not a protein bar fan to begin with, and he didn't like it.  I work for a candle company and to be honest, it looked and smelled very much like our fall pumpkin candles 

It was disappointing as I was really looking forward to it as a treat!  Having had surgery in April '15, this was my 1st Fall without a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. I got through it okay and feeling how I feel now is totally worth it!
