First experience with the Quest bar and, while the flavor was delicious, I could not get over the gritty, chewy texture. Are all Quest bars like this

I didn't love them at first but now I do. They all have about the same texture... You get used to it, and they are very addictive!

Brownie isn't as bad. But it does have that protein bar texture. But I like the less sugar than other bars

Quest bars are heavy and they do have a texture that takes some getting use to. The short answer, is yes all the bars are the same density and texture.

The cheesecake & banana nut are little softer. I think the chocolate chip are that way to preserve the chips from melting. Toss the bar in the microwave for 5 seconds (depending on power) . It comes out delicious

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough has been the grittiest so far. I've had double chocolate chuck, white chocolate raspberry,raspberry cheesecake and few of the others and while they all have that same particular grittiness, none have been as prevalent as in this flavor. I agree with the microwave bit as well. They are so much more enjoyable when they are warm/soft.

I've tried chocolate PB, Chocolate, Cookies and cream, and strawberry cheesecake. I think this flavor has more of the gritty texture than others, but they all have it to an extent. The taste makes up for it from my perspective.

While I think the chocolate chip bar is chewy, I don't find them gritty at all.

I actually make them from scratch. Rather "piddley" but worth the effort. There is no comparison. We did try Krusteaz and the texture was fine, but the taste didn't compare to scratch. Maybe adding extra vanilla would help. :)

I found the taste strong and the texture awful. Katz bakery makes gluten free products that taste so much better. I find them online or in Keyfood

I don't know what you're seeing behind yoru questino. but I will share that I usually pay about $4.50 to $5 a bar. Ten bucks seems too much to me, although it is very good chocolate.

I was hoping it would be like Bisquick. It is not. It just does not have a good texture. Sorry

I didn't find that it had much flavor. I tried it with red sauce and pesto. I was more put off by the texture-not the taste.

You'll get gritty. I liked the flavor but for me, not the grit. Do you know of creamy clotted fudge?

I have experimented with various of these breads, and I prefer the Fitness over the 3-grain, but it's very much a matter of individual taste. If I recall the 3-grain, it has a flatter texture than the Fitness, but this is, again, simply my preference and perhaps imperfect memory.

The actual mix is like a vanilla flavor. I haven't had a plain shake on its own, I like adding in jello pudding mixes for flavors. It picks up whatever flavor of what you mix, but you can still taste the hint of vanilla--you can find a ton of recipes online. Personally I do not feel its gritty like some people have said, perhaps because I like malts (which tend to be gritty), I just don't notice it. Also, some say its just too sweet. I love sweet, but I think too it could be if you use water, milk, almond or soy milk. Using ice and certain flavors I feel it tastes like a blended frozen drink from starbucks or an icecream shop. I think meal replacement drinks like slim fast are watery, with the frozen blending it totally adds more consistency and you can make it taste anyway you want.

The chocolate chip cookie dough and cashew coconut are the only flavors I went on to buy again as a full box. The PB&J; flavor was surprisingly true to the sandwich if you like that. Most of them I found to be pretty yucky and would never eat them by choice again. LOL the strawberry cheesecake was nasty enough I wouldn't even trick my little brother into eating it. ;-)

Slightly gritty texture, but it melts in your mouth so fast it's hard to detect!

I've only been using this product for a few months... but as I noted in my review, the taste of the vanilla cream is nothing short of painful. I can deal with the triple chocolate (and I'm not even a big chocolate fan). Might want to give that one a try if you haven't already.

I tried it in a flan (which is a custard). I thought it gave it a gritty texture. I wouldn't use it again. I have'nt tried it in anything else.

Sorry it was so long ago that I don't remember ... But I seem to remember texture was grainy and not smooth as it should have been. We were disappointed ...

I was gross. It was chunky cuz of the chia seeds. I think it was more of a texture thing but I could not drink it. I ended up getting. Arbonne chocolate and like it much better.

Honestly, they were all pretty good. But the best was the chocolate and peanut butter, and the chocolate chip cookie dough was a close second. I didn't think any were bad though. The lemon and the vanilla almond were probably my least favorite.

Simply taste it. If its gritty then they are old. The flavor notes should be strong and smooth on the tongue. I've purchased these chocolates before and they were wonderful, very good quality.
