Quest Nutrition Chocolate Sprinkled Doughnut Review

Quest Nutrition Chocolate Sprinkled Doughnut Protein Bar Review

Taste

Chocolate Sprinkled Doughnut – When reading the name doughnut in any protein infused product it will raise your eyebrow. Upon first bite the chocolate coating provides a hybrid of a heavy milk chocolate and a slight aftertaste of a dark chocolate. While it is unique I would say it is 80/20 ratio in favor of milk chocolate. The dual flavor paves way for the sweetness enhanced in the sprinkles that coat the bar to elevate the flavoring of the bar. I never picked up a doughnut taste, as it would be hard to get the buttery undertone of a fresh baked pastry in a protein bar. If you were to blindfold me and have me eat this bar I would say it tastes exactly like chocolate birthday cake. Personally I thought this bar was fantastic as it was flavored with Stevia. Most of the time Stevia is very bitter, Quest found a way to make the flavor shine with that as its main sweetener choice.

Texture

Out of the wrapper you can notice the bar has the usual quest bar texture with the added flakiness from the sprinkles laced throughout the bar included inside and. The bar was very soft which has a ONE Bar consistency associated with it. I was very pleased with this texture and flavor compared to the previous batches and flavors the company has produced.

This bar is flavored with Stevia instead of Sucralose, but you would never know. The flavoring was incredible and there was no bitterness associated with that sweetener of choice.

Cost

Quest retails for about $24 a box making it right around $2 a bar. If you were to buy a single bar off the main quest website it would be around $2.39 per bar. Buying in bulk saves you around 40 cents a bar, but all in all if on sale it’s pretty cost effective for 12 bars for around $16-20. When you factor in flavor, and factor in good calories for less than 200 calories a bar it’s a convenient investment.

I’m assuming they are still using the weird fiber?

Have you noticed any bloat? I know companies were supposed to be taking any of those “fake fibers out”? I’m curious about the corn fiber

None and bars usually settle very heavy on me
They flavored this very well fir a chocolate birthday cake I barley picked up donut

None the less I had 2 at the Arnold and my digestion was fine

That is a great question.

I really like the Cookie Dough Quest Bars …

May need to give them a go again.

Happy to hear this! I’ll probbaly give them a shot then!

Just received a box of these in the mail today as part of a prize pack and I agree, Quest did a great job with this flavor. Hints of doughnut/cake every once in a while with nice chocolate flavor throughout. Haven’t had a Quest bar in a while and this was a great flavor for my return. Top 3 flavor for me.

I meant to post my experience with the new quest bars the other day. I noticed they have in fact took out most of the bars that had IMO’s in them, so I decided to give them another shot. The Sprinkled Donut is pretty good, and the others (OG flavors) are back to being good. Personally I do like as of now, although I still am more of a fan of the more functional bars (outright, etc). The high fiber still gets me sometimes but I don’t bloat like I used to!
