Review on 🍫 Quest Nutrition Protein Bar: High Protein, Gluten Free, 12-Count Variety Pack, Cinnamon Roll Flavor – 25.4 Oz by Steven Kile

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Some of the best nutritional bars

This review is for the taste of "cinnamon rolls" but if I have more I'll edit to include info on them. Flavor: Well, they have something cinnamony in them. I don't think they're as good as real cinnamon rolls, but I didn't expect them to be. I find the taste to be above average, although not the best I've had for an energy bar. And it would be good for a change if you eat a lot of such bars. Texture: Not my favorite texture for protein bars. Does it have a uniform texture and is speckled with spots of color (probably cinnamon)? I don't like protein bars with a consistent texture. They don't look like real food at all. There are almonds in it, so I'd like to see it. I'm not looking for something with the same amount of whole almonds as the Kind bar, but a few recognizable pieces would be nice. Nutrition: This is where this bar shines. It has 7 grams of fat, of which 6 grams are NOT saturated. It has 14 grams of fiber (really great for a bar of this nature) and 20 grams of protein. Unlike many protein/nutrition/energy bars, this bar is balanced enough to be used as a meal replacement. No need to add fruit, yogurt or anything (unless you *want* to). It's also only 170 calories per bar, which is great considering the protein and fiber content. It's also very low in sugar and some of the minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus) associated with nuts. Sodium is 200 mg, which is quite a lot for a packaged food, but it's fine when replacing an entire meal. See product images for full ingredient list and nutritional information. Please note that it contains almonds and milk ingredients but is gluten free. (It contains stevia and erythritol, a sugar alcohol.) Overall, I think this is one of the best bars of its kind, so despite the texture, I'm giving it a high rating. It's really hard to find anything that is so balanced in nutrients, including protein and fiber, and low in sugar. 4.5 stars.

Pros
  • Protein bar
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
