Remember when I told you how excited I was to receive this in the mail?

Well, it has been a very delicious few weeks.  I usually eat a protein bar around 11:00 AM every day at work, before a long run on the weekend, or as an evening snack.  It was a pleasure receiving a whole box of different flavored Quest Bars to try.

Why I like Quest Bars:

– 20 grams of protein (something I am trying to get more of these days)

– My stomach tolerates the whey protein isolate

– Gluten free (I am allergic to gluten)

– No artificial colors

– No high fructose corn syrup

– They taste great!

– They “get” me (see below 😉 )

My favorite flavors:

– Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: You may recall my cookie dough confession.  If not, you can read about it here.  I think this flavor wins “best overall”.  I found myself craving this deliciously sweet & satisfying bar and even had one for “dessert” a few times (when my normal dark chocolate supply was depleted).

– Banana nut muffin:  “Best bar for/with breakfast”.  Reminded me of a buttery, banana-y, sweet/salty muffin.  Enough said.

– White Chocolate Raspberry:  There were two of these darling dears in the box Quest sent me.  I don’t even like white chocolate but this flavor was absolutely fabulous.  Each bite is a whole new experience.  Fresh raspberry in one bite, chunk of cocoa butter in the next.  You really can’t find a more sinfully delicious way to get your protein in.

– Chocolate peanut butter:  This combo never fails me.  No matter how they combine the two, chocolate & PB are meant to be together.  I recommend that you toss this one in the microwave for 20 seconds… trust me, just do it.

THANKS TO QUEST NUTRITION FOR THE SAMPLES…  I am officially an addict.
