Review on Quest Nutrition Cookies Protein Friendly by Omar Bloomer

Quest panels are *not* created the same. But the Quest Double Chocolate Chunk protein bar gets our preference. The ingredients and nutritional information stand out clearly from their other bars. Here are our 4 very specific reasons for choosing this particular flavor: (1). This particular bar does not list any sweeteners that cause metabolic or health issues. Its main sweeteners are erythritol and steviosides (both substances occur naturally and do not have a negative effect on the body). Most of their other products contain sucralose (commonly sold under the brand name Splenda, and clinical studies show that sucralose alters the normal microbiome and disrupts some metabolic functions. The only other bars from Quest that don't list problematic ingredients as of 5/2020 are "Cinnamon Role" and "Chocolate Hazelnut" which are also good choices as their nuts sometimes taste stale.(2) Each bar has only 1 gram of sugar, which is about 1/4 teaspoon of sugar.We like our diet was low in simple sugars, so being low in simple sugars is a plus for us.(3) Total fat content of each bar is 7 grams. Bars contain more unnecessary fat.Your Cinnamon Role bar contains only 6 grams of fat per bar , which is better, while their hazelnut chocolate currently contains 8 grams of fat We would rate the Double Chocolate Chunk 5 stars if the fat content was low r and if the bar was made from organic reducing agents and if the cocoa was *not* duched. Eventually, the alkalinization process destroys the antioxidants in chocolate, thereby stripping it of its nutritional value. (four). Each Double Chocolate Chunk packs 20 grams of protein and we love it! See, these bars are all highly processed and generally *unhealthy*. But when given the choice between a junk bar (with 20-50 grams of simple sugars and 15-30 grams of fat) and this one (with 20 grams of protein and 1 gram of simple sugars and 7 grams of fat), we always choose the latter. It's just the lesser evil in the world.
