We started eating Quest Bars upon recommendation of a nutritional consultant. They are simple in ingredients, taste delicious, and each have around 20g of protein. I’ve sampled all the flavors below and they are all good. Most recently I had the Pumpkin Pie flavor. It was quite chewy, much like an original Power Bar. This doesn’t bother me, as I enjoy the chewiness, but some may not enjoy having to bite so hard to get through it. The flavor was good though.
The only down side for me personally is that they all seem to contain dairy, as they use whey for the protein. I try not to consume dairy very often as I seem to have a bit of an insensitivity to it. However, these are great on occasion, as I appreciate that they are simple ingredient-wise and taste good. Dr. Toothy definitely eats more of these than me, so check her review down in the comments below!
Here are the nutrition facts and ingredients for the Coconut Cashew flavor. They are all fairly close aside from the different flavor ingredients.

These have recently become my go to protein bar. They definitely have more of the protein bar taste than other bars, such as the perfect bar. But compared to other protein bars they taste good. There are a lot of different choices in flavors. I cannot have chocolate, but I have tried just about all of the non-chocolate bars. The only one I have not liked is the pumpkin pie bar. It was so chewy, I had a hard time eating it, and I was afraid I was going to break off a tooth. I eat these about 4-6 times a week. I eat them after really hard workouts, or as a high protein snack. These bars have been my answer to helping me increase my protein, and its a nice bonus that they taste good.
More recently I’ve tried the Peanut Butter Supreme and White Chocolate Raspberry flavors, and both were really good. The peanut butter one especially has been a repeat buy–yum!
