Variety and formula are both part of the choice
The David catalog pack offers six 62 g flavor bars with 28 g protein per pictured serving. Quest S’Mores is a 12-pack of one 60 g flavor with 21 g protein on the current panel. The decision is not only the protein difference: assortment, fiber, sweeteners and allergens can matter just as much.
Both are no-mixing food formats for a bag or desk. Compare the full wrapper and actual piece size instead of treating “low sugar” as a complete ingredient description.
Catalog photos identify six flavors; current formulas can differ from older photographed wrappers.

Stable current facts and one exact flavor
| Detail | David variety | Quest S’Mores |
|---|---|---|
| Piece size | 62 g in pictured assortment | 60 g |
| Protein | 28 g | 21 g |
| Calories | 150 | 190 |
| Total sugar | 0 g | 1 g |
| Fiber | Flavor/formula dependent; current Cookie Dough 1 g | 12 g |
| Sweeteners to notice | Current Cookie Dough: maltitol and allulose | Erythritol; stevia and sucralose |
| Material allergens | Current Cookie Dough: milk, egg, soy | Milk, almonds, soy |
David’s current Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough panel lists 1 g fiber and soy as an allergen, while an older catalog photo has 2 g fiber and a different soy statement. Use the actual wrapper for the flavor being purchased rather than extending one old panel to the whole assortment.
Six flavors versus a repeatable single flavor
The photographed David assortment identifies Cinnamon Roll, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk, Fudge Brownie, Salted Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Blueberry Pie. It offers variety, but each wrapper still needs its own ingredient check.
Quest S’Mores keeps the flavor fixed. That can simplify a routine if you already know you want that ingredient pattern. Its current label lists 7 g sugar alcohol and 12 g fiber; older online panels with 14 g fiber are not the current source used here.
A zero-sugar or low-sugar statement is different from no carbohydrate or no sweetener. Both formulas include other carbohydrate ingredients. Check the actual panel if sugar alcohols or a particular fiber matter to you.
Make the comparison fit a real day
For a work bag, both remove the need for water, a scoop and cleaning a shaker. Keep the wrapper so the flavor and ingredients remain identifiable. A six-pack creates a smaller variety purchase than a 12-pack of one flavor, but this article does not calculate changing retailer prices or stock.
The full-bar protein difference is 7 g by arithmetic. It is one useful label fact, not evidence that the higher number suits every person or that either bar preserves muscle during treatment. Portion, other foods and a sustainable routine still matter.
Is the fiber range the same across David flavors?
Current complete panels for all six were not established here. We report stable shared figures and identify the exact current Cookie Dough detail instead of creating an unverified range.
Does a label decide taste or fullness?
No. It supplies composition and serving information. A personal preference or response is a different kind of evidence.
What should I compare if I want a smaller item?
The ALOHA/Barebells comparison starts with a 24 g mini versus a 55 g full bar, a more pronounced portion-format difference.
