There are so many protein bars on the
market and so many of them are loaded with carbs that can cost you up to 300
calories per bar with only 10g of protein.
That’s a lot of extra calories! Additionally,
many of these bars have high soy content, vegetable glycerin, unnecessary oils,
sugars, and artificial flavor enhancers like calcium caseinate, which is known
to cause migraines and cognitive issues. I don’t want any of that in my body, so I have
been on the hunt for a delicious and HEALTHY protein bar that has the greatest
amount of protein, least amount of calories, and no additives like I mentioned
above. Thanks to the help of my awesome
trainer, I finally found it!
Quest Bars are absolutely wonderful! They are all natural, gluten-free, and contain
20g of protein and a range of 160-210 calories depending on the the flavor. I bought a mixed flavor box and have tried
the Cookie Dough, Lemon Pie, Vanilla Almond Crunch, and Chocolate Brownie, and
they are delicious!!! They are a great
grab-and-go meal, and even a delicious snack or dessert.
The other night I was craving something sweet
after dinner, so I Googled Quest Bar recipes to see what I could do with one of
those for a healthy dessert. It turns
out there are a bunch of recipes with Quest Bars! I chose a very simple one: bake a Chocolate Brownie Quest Bar in the
oven at 400 degree for 2-3 minutes, then top with organic peanut butter. It was delicious and tasted like a homemade
brownie! I only ate half, which
satisfied my sweet craving perfectly.
There are so many other recipes such cookies (cut bar in pieces and bake
on parchment lined baking sheet at 350 for 7 minutes); ice cream sandwiches and tons of others (check our this blog for a ton of other recipes)! And of course, you can always eat it as-is
for a scrumptious and healthy treat!
I HIGHLY recommend trying these bars! Enjoy!
