bash script not picking up environment variables

I have a strange situation where I'm using zsh full-time, and any bash scripts I run are not picking environment variables properly. Obviously I don't expect bash to pick up env vars that are defined in zsh's environment, so I am using ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile, but that doesn't work either.

For example, here's a test script:

#!/bin/bash

echo $MYTEST

I've added this line to both ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile to cover my bases:

export MYTEST="hello"

I just get a blank line when running the script.

PS: I know running . ./testscript will work, but that's not an option since it's a system-wide script that's failing to pull env vars.

Oops. Maybe I should try having export VAR=val in my ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/vars.zsh instead of just VAR=val!
