As someone who has followed Quest for a long time (almost since they only had 5-6 flavors), I tend to get excited when I see that Quest is coming out with a new product. While Quest came out with their S'mores flavor in 2014, I still wanted to review for anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of trying one.
What are they?
The S'mores flavor is a protein bar sweetened with sugar alcohols. (Quest has some that are sweetened with sugar alcohols and some that are sweetened with both sugar alcohols and stevia extract) The S’mores flavor has 23g total carbs, if you back out the 13g of dietary fiber and the 6g of Erythritol (sugar alcohols) you end up with a total of 4g net carbohydrates. This flavor is 180 calories
When is best to eat them?
Any time really. They work wonders as a breakfast, post workout snack or just a pick me-up during the day! The only time I prefer not to eat them is right before I exercise. Since their bars do have 20-21g protein in them, I find that my body cooperates more when I eat fast digesting carbs before a workout and not protein packed foods.
What is it like to eat one?
One thing that I was super excited about was the amount of chocolate chunks it has in it. This bar is a graham cracker crust base with chunks of chocolate and marshmallow. Basically like eating heaven. This bar is sweet though- not too sweet for me, but beware.
Verdict
A+! I love them. They taste amazing and leave me guilt-free after feeling like I've endulged when in reality I just provided my body with earth friendly ingredients, natural protein and healthy carbs and fats. It's the perfect protein bar! One of my favorites to date!
