Protein Blend (Whey Protein Isolate, Milk Protein Isolate), Chicory Root Fiber, Almond Butter, Dry Roasted Almonds, Raw Almonds, Water, Natural Flavors, Sea Salt, Lo Han Guo, Sucralose.

I ordered the sample a week ago, took 5 days to arrived (From California to MTL). They are delicious and very healthy. No sugar or sugar alcohol. Gluten free. No cheap proteins like soy or gelatin to bump up protein count... 15g of fibers... These ones with VPX are the best bars you can find!!

I ordered both flavors to try (cost me 6usd, shipping included).

Interesting...

Kind of looks like advertising to me though?

It is tough to find good quality bars.. I've tried making my own a few times and I always fall short of finding the "right" recipe.

I know man. Also they are usually full of sugar alcohol. I saw bars with 30g of sugar alcohol in it. Thats like eating 30 gums at once!! wtf... And it does have an impact on blood sugar.

IMO, Vpx and quest are the best bars you can buy. I prefer whole food, but when Im really busy, Ill take a bar, with some extra calories such as cheese, nuts or a fruit...

Well at a buck a bar and 30 grams of Protien I will stick with the Premier bars from Costco as they taste great.Not as good of quality of protien as the Quest though.

It is almost impossible to find a good bar without any sugar or sugar alcohols (which crush my stomach even at low amounts). The quest bars look quite good, I will look into purchasing these. Thanks for mentioning moh!

lol i agree. I contacted Quest for the bulk deal 5+ boxes. It's 16$ per box. Its a great deal. I ordered 5 vanilla boxes. The peanut butter ones were too hard to chewed.

They are the real deal in taste and quality, brought them about 3 months ago. But careful about eating more than 2 in a sitting, they have A LOT of fibre in them. I think 10+ grams of fibre or more in each bar.

I got my samples today and both are excellent. However the above pricing is not what I was told. This is a reply to an email I sent to them regarding volume discounts....

Just got my 4 boxes yesterday. These are good bars...both taste wise and nutritionally. I'm gonna continue to eat these for breakfast in the mornings.

[JacktheThriller]

do they have retailers in canada the shipping would be killer for me

[moh2010]

no they don't. I asked. But shipping is very cheap and you don't pay any duty even if you buy 5-6boxes!

[RagingRandy]

Shipping for 6+ boxes is a flat rate of $15.

[Blue Hefner]

Is there a demand for these bars to be sold locally? Who has tried them to date?

[Andre]

I am selling these bars in my gyms for $3 each tax in... if purchased by the box they are $30 tax in... they are the healthiest bars I have ever seen!

[grifter]

Andre gave me one of these bars the other day to try. I have to say when I unwrapped it it looks exactly like a thick powerbar. The taste was pretty good considering that they use all natural products.
The only negative that I experienced was when the bars get cold it's a war trying to bite through it.

[Gawd]

I agree, these bars do look really great.
I've been interested in trying them for a bit, but the shipping to Canada was pretty costly before, it sounds like it came down so I'm going to have to check it out again.

Your going to have to send me one :)

That's a pretty good deal, I did not know they offered that...I've been buying 4 boxes at a time, shieett. Thanks for the heads up

The ingredient list does not come close to Quest. Soy is suspect as a protein source and hydrolyzed gelatin (Jello) is used to bump up protein numbers but in fact is useless. How many BBs do you know that make sure they fill up on Jello to gain?
Also, carbs are high and fibre is low.

Andre is carrying them now.

Agreed , thanks.

Woot first post! I am not familiar with Andre, what company does he own/work for that carries these bars!:flagC

[RagingRandy]

Not meaning to bump an old thread but as a heads-up there is now a Canadian distributor, Nutrition Excellence, and they are asking $40\box. They are looking to partner with Popeye's to sell these in Canada. I am looking to do a group buy. If you buy these bars and want to continue to get them at a reasonable rate PM me as I am looking into ways to get around the Canadian distributor.

[Talo]

$40 a box when you can get them on their site for less than $25.

I'll join you with a group buy at a low price - should save on shipping atleast.

[Mr Ontario]

You want to clean out your inbox once in a while so someone can actually P.M you. :)

I keep it full for a reason.....

OK.. it has been emptied. I am in a good mood. :)

Talo....They no longer ship to Canada direct from Quest. You need to go through the Canadian supplier to get them. Soon you will need to get them through Popeye's. At that point they will be more than I can afford.

I was able to get a bulk deal from the Canadian distributor. They will run about $30\box tax in plus shipping.
