Quest Bar Addicton




A little bit under a year ago I tried my very first Quest Bar. Quest Bars are my addiction. It’s like crack for fitness freaks. There. I said It. Quest Bars are premium protein bars that are high in fiber, low in net carbs and taste AMAZING. I had first heard of Quest Bars in a Jenna Marbles video on Youtube. I looked them up online but quickly closed the tab when I found out that for a box of 12, it would cost me over $25! I thought it was too much to pay. A few months passed and I had recently joined a new gym. The gym I started going to sold Quest Bars and after a few weeks of apprehension, I decided to give them a try. I paid  $2.20 for one Vanilla Almond Crunch bar. I took a bite. It tasted chewy and salty. They weren’t what I expected at all. I was a little put off but decided to go back to another flavor the next day. This time I bought Cookie Dough. It was SO GOOD! I heated it up in the microwave for about 12 seconds to soften it up. It tasted like cookie dough and the chunks of chocolate running throughout the bar was complete bliss. It was so amazing to think I could get the flavor of every decadent dessert I loved while getting in 20 grams of protein and almost 20 grams of fiber! I kept going back for more. I asked for them for Christmas and I asked for them for my birthday and I spend all of my money on them. It truly is an obsession. To this day I buy them on a regular basis and don’t mind the price of them because I know that I am buying a high quality bar with absolutely no artificial sweeteners or chemicals to sabotage my fitness level. A lot of other cheaper protein bars have a lot of artificial and unneeded ingredients like cellulose or collagen (it's a cheap way to boost the protein content of the bar but it actually doesn't even count as real protein)
 Recently Quest Nutrition (the makers of Quest Bars) have recently announced the release of Protein CHIPS. Yes, Protein chips. Also containing less than 200 calories and packed with 20 grams of protein while also remaining low carb, it seems like they are macro geniuses! I haven’t seen them in stores here but I am eager to try them to see if they live up to all of the hype. Aside from over a dozen flavors of protein bars (such as Apple Pie, White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake, Cookies and Crème and even Chocolate Brownie) and “Quest Cravings” which are mock Reese’s cups. (A review to soon come)  I am an avid buyer and lover of Quest Nutrition and I honestly can’t wait to see what else they will release in the future!
