featuring.... THE QUEST BAR

So if you haven't tried a quest bar yet, go to your nearest health food store, buy one (or a few), and enjoy.  Being a personal trainer, with early mornings, going back and forth between jobs, I find myself having to pack up for the whole day, including all of my meals.  This can be a problem since most on the go, convenient things are full of sugar, and a whole list of ingredients that you can't even pronounce (which is never a good thing).  Not to mention the taste is never all that great.  Also being active all day I need something to keep me satisfied for longer!

These problems were solved with the Quest Bar!  Each bar has around 140 calories, 20 g of quality Whey Protein, 17 g  of plant based fiber to keep you full without upsetting your stomach, and no sugar, sweetened with natural sweeteners, stevia and erythritol.  You can check out the specifics on your own here http://www.questproteinbar.com/ingredients

Not only are they great right out of the wrapper but there are tons of amazing recipes using quest bars where you can bake them, microwave them, sprinkle on the top, or even freeze.  With flavors like cinnamon roll, cookie dough, banana nut, double chocolate chunk, cookies and cream, and white chocolate raspberry, these recipes are amazing!

So here's a couple creations I've tried, tested, and approved!  Enjoy:

Peanut Butter Cinnamon Roll:

-1 Cinnamon Roll Quest Bar

-1 Tbs PB2 powder

-2 Tbs nonfat, plain greek yogurt

-dash of cinnamon

Roll out Quest bar (may help to heat in microwave for about 6 seconds to soften)

Then cut into 2 long strips.

Mix yogurt, PB2, and cinnamon

Spread mixture evenly on both strips.

Roll up like a cinnamon roll.

bake at 350 F for 6 minutes, and Enjoy!

Raspberry White Chocolate Dessert Burrito:

-1 Raspberry white chocolate Quest Bar

-1 low carb tortilla

-honey to drizzle

Wrap your Quest bar into the tortilla like a burrito and grill in a pan until warm and melty all the way through, flipping sides occasionally.  You may also do this in a panini/sandwhich press

Drizzle top with honey and dig in!  So delicious
